Leicester, Leicestershire and Rutland (LLR): Learning Disability and Autism (LDA) 3 Year Plan pdf icon PDF 22 KB

To receive Report No. 132/2021 from David Williams, Director of Strategy and Business Development Leicestershire Partnership NHS Trust

Additional documents:

Minutes:

Report No. 132/2021 and a presentation were received from David Williams, Director of Strategy and Business Development, Leicestershire Partnership NHS Trust.  During the discussion, the following points were note:

 

·         National strategy for supporting people with a learning disability and/or autism.

·         Aim was to make LLR FIT (Focussed on the needs of our people; Integrated team delivery; Targeted on where the greatest difference could be made).

·         Councillor Wilby thanked David for his excellent presentation which set out very clearly the aims of the strategy and the actions to be taken. He continued that this was an exemplar of how a plan should be and he was convinced that the services were on the right road.

·         Janet Underwood thanked David for an excellent presentation.  Rutland residents have requested social activities that are accessible but these do not appear to be included in the plan. 

·         Dr Hilary Fox stated that some Rutland patients including those with LDA, lived outside of the county’s borders and was engagement with other local authorities being held to ensure that a uniformed offer was open to all, across all counties.  David Williams confirmed that all work must be county wide to encompass all members of the public regardless of where they live and where they access services. 

·         Kim Sorsky informed attendees that Rutland’s Adult and Children’s Services had worked together to put in place early intervention and prevention work to keep people out of hospital.  Commissioned services also gave a person choice on how and when to access the services e.g. job seeking, living independent lives

·         Councillor Walters queried the increased number of LDA people who had not received treatment due to a DNR (do not resuscitate) on their medical records.  David Williams confirmed that actions (proactive and reactive) had been taken to ensure that inappropriate DNR’s were not on medical records and stated that having a learning disability was not a fatal condition so a LDA person should not have a DNR on their records.

 

RESOLVED

That the Rutland Health and Wellbeing Board:

 

a)    Understood and SUPPORTED the 3-year programme

b)    RECOGNISED that change would be delivered through individuals including members of the Health and Wellbeing Board

c)    CHAMPIONED joined up working between system partners to deliver improvements

d)    RECOGNISED their role and opportunities to improve and enhance pathways to provide great care, support and lives

e)    CONTRIBUTED to the system goal of making LLR FIT (focused, integrated and targeted on need).

Additional documents:

Minutes:

Report No. 129/2021 and a presentation was received from Sarah Prema, Executive Director of Strategy and Planning and was presented by Rachna Vyas Executive Director of Integration & Transformation, Leicester, Leicestershire and Rutland Clinical Commissioning Group as Sarah was on annual leave.  During the discussion, the following points were noted:

 

·         The main purpose of the ICS was for everyone in Leicester, Leicestershire and Rutland to have a healthy and fulfilling life.

·         The principles were to:

 

o   Ensure that everyone had equal access to health and care services

o   Make decisions that enabled great care for all residents

o   Deliver services that were convenient for people to access

o   Develop integrated services in partnership with residents

o   Make LLR health and care a great place to work

o   Use combined resources to deliver the best value for money and support the local economy and environment.

·         The operational priorities to be delivered in partnership were to:

 

o   Deliver the COVID vaccination programme and winter flu programme

o   Recover services that have been affected during the pandemic

o   Deliver changes to UHL hospitals including mental health services

o   Work as a partnership to transform access to the health and care services including primary care, urgent care, chronic conditions and mental health services.

·         Councillor Walters asked how often the operational priorities would need to be refreshed and Rachna Vyas confirmed that it would be on an ‘as and when’ basis so that as one priority was achieved, there would be another one to take its place.

 

RESOLVED

That the Rutland Health and Wellbeing Board:

 

a)    ENDORSED the Leicester, Leicestershire and Rutland Integrated Care System Purpose, Principles and Priorities

Health Inequalities Framework pdf icon PDF 62 KB

To receive Report No. 128/2021 from Sarah Prema, Executive Director of Strategy and Planning, Leicester, Leicestershire and Rutland City Clinical Commissioning Group

Additional documents:

Minutes:

Report No. 128/2021 was received from Sarah Prema, Executive Director of

Strategy and Planning and was presented by Rachna Vyas Executive Director of Integration & Transformation along with Mike Pierce, Head of Health Population and Steve McCue, Senior Strategic Development Manager at Leicester, Leicestershire & Rutland CCGs.    During the discussion, the following points were noted:

 

·         Some groups had poorer health or were more likely to have poor health outcomes in the long-term including children living in poverty, routine and manual workers, people with disabilities and military families.

·         The framework identified a series of system wide principles and actions to help prevent health inequality but it would be up to the Rutland Health and Wellbeing Board to work with partners to develop a plan that would work in Rutland.

·         Reducing or removing health inequality was a core purpose of the ICS, with the core principle being prevention.

·         The main aim was to move away from the current ‘national sick service’ and move to a ‘national health service’.

·         The UK offered a universal health care service which was free at the point of access. 

·         Moving forward, this universal provision of services would be varied in response to the differences in need within and between groups of people. Services would be proportionate to the needs of the people using that service within that geographical area.

·         Mike Pierce confirmed that LLR was the first NHS partnership to start to use new data to distribute primary care funding proportionally and so reduce inequality.

·         Steve McCue stated that the framework was a strategic document and rural inequalities, an important point for Rutland, had been recognised within the framework i.e. the number of retired/active armed forces personnel within the County.

·         Dr Hilary Fox queried how we would ensure we have enough personalised information within the data.  Mike Pierce stated that collaboration between partners such as local authority and voluntary sector colleagues was vital to ensure the personalisation of the data.

 

RESOLVED

That the Rutland Health and Wellbeing Board:

 

a)    NOTED the LLR Health Inequalities Framework and the intended implementation of the Framework across partner organisations

Report No. 130/2021 and a presentation was received from Emma Jane Perkins (Rutland County Council), Charlie Summers (LLR Clinical Commissioning Groups), Viv Robbins / Kajal Lad (Public Health), Tracey Allan-Jones (Rutland Healthwatch), Sandra Taylor (Rutland County Council) and Adhvait Sheth (LLR Clinical Commissioning Groups).  During the discussion, the following points were noted:

 

·         John Morley thanked all the staff for their hard work on the production of the place led plan.  All done while fighting on the front line during the pandemic under very difficult and stressful conditions.  Everyone worked in partnership and collaboration and these were the key words stated by everyone who worked on the plan.

·         Commented that it was good to hear of the plethora of good quality and quantitative data that was also Rutland specific. 

·         It was agreed that the Place Led Plan needed to be a living document that breathed and changed according to the changes in the data. 

·         It was confirmed that the public were at the centre of the plan and that’s why it needed to be a working document.

·         Dr Janet Underwood stated that this was an overall strategy and not a specific step-by-step plan.  The details of how and when would come in due course but this needed to be better communicated to the public. 

·         The plan detailed a lot of work that needed to be done in the next 3 months and that it was important that the public made the whole journey with us and not just be consulted as a small part of it.

·         It was agreed that the term ‘finishing dates’ within the plan should be amended to ‘transition dates’ so making it clear to everybody that the plan was a fluid and living, changing plan.

·         Councillor Walters proposed and it was agreed that the Integrated Delivery Group, in consultation with the Chair of the Rutland Health and Wellbeing Board, run the public consultation on the draft strategy.

·         Rachna Vyas confirmed that the carers’ voice had been heard and would be included in the life course events but that each community needed different levels of service and we needed to identify what was needed and then decide how best to deliver it.

·         The Board recommended that ‘end of life’ should have its own special section.  It would focus people on the last few days of life and it would act as a catalyst to get people talking about death and dying.

 

 

RESOLVED

That the Rutland Health and Wellbeing Board:

 

a)    NOTED the context for and progress towards the development of the Rutland Health and Wellbeing Strategy: A Plan for Place 2022-25 (the HWS).
