Progress report on establishment of the Public Involvement Board 11:10 15 mins
Person(s) responsible: Members of the Public Involvement Board Person giving the report: Chairman of Public Involvement Board
Sue Butterworth will give an oral update on progress in relation to the establishment of the Public Involvement Board and on the principles of operation.
This item is for information.
Minutes: Sue Butterworth briefed members of the Board on the recent national developments with regard to HealthWatch, together with the arrangements for taking it forward locally. The local HealthWatch was to be commissioned from April 2013 and it was hoped that the contract would be awarded by Autumn 2012 to enable arrangements to be put in place. These would be supported by a transition grant to be made available by the Department of Health to all authorities.
She also reported orally on progress in relation to the establishment of the Public Involvement Board (PIB). The findings from the local HealthWatch consultation and the consultation undertaken by Oxfordshire Clinical Commissioning Group with regard to engagement in the new Health structures had informed the development of the PIB model. The Steering Group had developed this thinking in a workshop setting which took place on 2 March 2012 at which a wide plethora of organisations, carers and service users were represented.
She added that whilst the aims of the PIB had been welcomed by people attending the workshop, there had been considerable confusion about the use of the term ‘Board’, it being regarded as ‘misleading’ in terms of its function and powers and its overlapping functions with HealthWatch in relation to public engagement. Accordingly, the Steering Group had met to review the model and now recommended to the Health & Wellbeing Board the following transitional model which included the following features:
Accountability for the PIN, and indeed the whole of the Health & Wellbeing structure remained with the Oxfordshire Joint Health Overview & Scrutiny Committee.
The Vice-Chair brought to the Board’s attention the need for clarity of linkage of particular groups based on the six GP Commissioning locations.
Members of the Health & Wellbeing Board AGREED to: (a) thank Sue Butterworth for her report; (b) approve the above transitional model for the PIN; and (c) to request the officers to bring a report to the next meeting on 26 July on the linkage of particular groups based on the GP Commissioning locations.

Implications of the Health & Wellbeing Board priorities for the work of partner organisations 11.30 10 mins
Person(s) responsible: Members of the Health & Wellbeing Board Person giving the report:Chairman and Vice - Chairman of the Health & Wellbeing Board and Chairman of the Health Improvement Board
Dr Stephen Richards and Councillors Keith Mitchell and Mark Booty will lead some reflections on today’s Board discussions in relation to the day to day work of the Clinical Commissioning Group and the County and District Councils. Minutes: Dr. Stephen Richards and Councillors Keith Mitchell and Mark Booty led some reflections on discussion during the meeting insofar as it related to the day to day work of the Clinical Commissioning Group and the County and District Councils. Points raised included the following:
Members of the Board commented that the promotion of the cross cutting nature and integration of different organisations was an exciting concept, albeit challenging; and it was felt that a strong starting point had been made towards the overall goal of improving health and social care outcomes for the population of Oxfordshire. This was a valuable opportunity to set a working model to deliver for the next decade. It was also an opportunity to begin to get upstream towards a prevention agenda – to this end a housing link was of particular importance.
Further, it was felt that this was an ideal opportunity to communicate with hard to reach groups and thus, a Communication Strategy was of the utmost importance to realise this. A practical endeavour to ensure that the language used in reports was meaningful to all interested people was therefore also crucial.
The meeting ended at 11.30 am. |
