·       The Health and Wellbeing Integration Lead presented 4 slides to attendees (copy attached) which detailed some changes to the wording for the Foreword, the Introduction, Section 1.2 and Priority 4 in the Joint Health and Wellbeing Strategy.

·       Elective Hubs would be created nationally alongside the community diagnostic centres as a way of solving the current waiting list crisis.

·       A draft strategy for communication and engagement across Leicester, Leicestershire and Rutland (LLR) had been produced by the LLR Integrated Care Board (engagement open until 24 April: https://www.leicestercityccg.nhs.uk/get-involved/the-nhs-in-leicester-leicestershire-and-rutland-how-we-will-work-with-people-and-communities/). A local communications and engagement plan for Rutland was also in preparation to support the JHWS. This would include relevant communications-related recommendations from the Primary Care Task and Finish Group and would complement the JHWS Delivery Plan.

·       The JHWS Delivery Plan was being further developed whilst working with involved stakeholders. In the meantime, delivery of some items from the Delivery Plan e.g. Inequalities Research had already been started.

·       First-year actions would be discussed at the next Health and Wellbeing Board meeting in July 2022.

·       There would be two substantive sub-groups reporting to the Rutland Health and Wellbeing Board - the Integrated Delivery Group (IDG) and the Children and Young People’s Partnership (CYPP).

·       Work around complex care and prevention might require the creation of a separate sub-group but this would be confirmed at a later date.

·       The Chair requested that, by the next Health and Wellbeing Board meeting in July 2022, the Place Led Delivery Plan was updated for the first year and that the sub-groups had identified their work-streams and taken ownership of them.

ACTION: Debra Mitchell and Sandra Taylor

·       It was confirmed that the JHWS: Place Led Delivery Plan would be a standing item on future meeting agendas.
