Minutes:

The Director of Finance (Bradford Metropolitan District Council (BMDC)) and Director of Finance for Bradford City, Bradford Districts and Airedale, Wharfedale and Craven Clinical Commissioning Groups submitted Document “F” which provided an update on joint financial planning and budget discussions for health and social care between BMDC, the Clinical Commissioning Groups and health providers in Bradford District and Craven.

 

The Chief Finance Officer of the three CCG’s (Airedale, Wharfedale and Craven CCG, Bradford City CCG and Bradford Districts CCG) and the Director of Finance Bradford Council gave a joint presentation which included the following points:

 

·        The NHS needed to close a £22 billion deficit by 2020/21, which meant a £1 billion funding gap for West Yorkshire and a £221 million gap for the district.

·        The CCG’s had £800 million to spend each year, although that amount was not being cut, it was not keeping pace with demand, expectation and technology.

·        Health organisations had already found ways to save £106 million.

·        Health organisations were anticipating £18 million of extra funding via the Sustainability and Transformation Plan process to plug part of the gap but now needed to come up with a plan to close the rest of it.

·        Hospitals had already identified around £47 million of savings they could make, through reduced spending on drugs, controls on agency staff, reducing administration costs and boosting workforce productivity; similar sums still needed to be found and more drastic changes may need to be made.

·        The districts three CCG’s still needed to find £17 million of savings and the trusts which provided acute care – mainly hospitals – needed to find £46 million of extra savings.

·        Local Authorities were seeing significant budget reductions in addition to increasing demand for social care.

·        The Local Authority was looking at cuts of around £35 million to the amount it spent on Health and Social Care.

·        The Local Authority had managed to make the required savings but it was getting more and more difficult to continue to make further savings.

·        In closing the funding gap the Local Authority would need to undertake a comprehensive review of all Council activity using an outcome based approach – seeking to improve health and wellbeing as well as to reduce demand, supporting people to choose healthy lifestyles, personalised support and care, joined up health and social care provision; safeguarding people from abuse.

·        The Council had to make approximately a 5 % cut in net spending each year for the past few years and every year for the next 4 years.

·        The commitment needed from all organisations in the health, care and wellbeing sector was to maximise every £ that was spent.

·        Needed to look at solutions that where possible did not impact on quality and inequalities.

·        Needed to engage and consult where required.

·        A commitment was required by all leaders across the Health and Social System to make bold changes.

The Health and Wellbeing Chair’s highlight report (Document “G”) summarised business conducted between meetings: where for example reporting or bid deadlines fall between Board meetings or business conducted at any meetings not held in public where these are necessary to consider material that is not yet in the public domain. Reporting through a highlight report means that any such business was discussed and formally minuted in a public Board meeting. 

 

The report focused on:

 

·        Quarter 1 performance of the 2016-17 Better Care Fund 

·        Business conducted at the August meetings of the Bradford Health and Care Commissioners Group and the Integration and Change Board

·        A short update on progress on action to establish a Healthy Weight Delivery Board

 

In terms of the Better Care Fund update it was felt that it would be more appropriate to report by exception ie where there was an issue on the Better Care Fund Summary Dashboard rather than reporting on all schemes.  Members also felt it would be helpful to have a description of each objective and what it would achieve.

 

Members requested that the Terms of Reference for the Delivery Board for the Healthy Weight Programme should be circulated to Members. Members also requested that the voluntary sector be involved in this piece of work.

 

Resolved-

 

(1)          That the Board notes the Better Care Fund Performance report for Quarter 1 of 2016-17 and receives further progress and performance reports at future Board meetings.

 

(2)          That the draft Terms of Reference for the Healthy Weight Group be circulated to Board Members.
