Issue - meetings

The Board received a presentation from the NHS Director – One Halton, which provided an update on One Halton Partnership activities and followed previous reports which had been shared with the Board. 

The presentation outlined the Integrated Care Board (ICB) key priorities and how these aligned to Halton Place priorities; Halton’s Joint Health and Wellbeing Strategy, the challenges in Halton; examples of the things the Integrated Neighbourhood Deliver Model was working on; and the delivery structure of One Halton. 

The following additional information was provided in response to Members questions/comments:

·       some of the data provided in the presentation was for illustrative purposes only to demonstrate Halton’s life course from “starting well” to “ageing well”;

·       the current Health & Wellbeing Strategy was live and updated every 3 years;

·       One Halton Partnership would not be affected by the merge of Bridgewater Community Healthcare NHS Foundation Trust and Warrington and Halton Teaching Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust;

·       the population of Halton was approximately 130,000 and on average GP’s offer between 55,000 and 60,000 appointments every month.  In addition, walk-in Urgent Treatment Centre appointments were available; and

·       Family Hubs needed to be promoted in clinics/in the very early stages of maternity services.

RESOLVED:  That the One Halton update is received and noted.
