Report of the Executive Director of Community and Children’s Services.

The Board received a report of the Executive Director of Children’s and Community Services, concerning approving the Better Care Fund Quarter 2 return. The Board heard that the chronic ambulatory care conditions target was not on track as this and how the conditions were managed within a community were the responsibility of an NHS Outcome Framework.

Following questions, the Board heard that it was social care that assisted with maintaining independence for patients within the community, which again was an NHS Outcome Framework on how conditions were managed within a community. There were some issues with the figures from the Integrated Care Board (ICB), due to when Clinical Commissioning Groups (CCGs) merged and what information could be released and provided. Officers would follow up with the ICB on this point.

RESOLVED – That the Board approve the Better Care Fund Q2 return.
