To receive the report of the Director of Partnerships Impact and Delivery at NHS NEL Integrated Care Board and City & Hackney Place-based partnership

The Committee received the report of the Director of Partnerships Impact and Delivery at NHS NEL Integrated Care Board and City & Hackney place-based partnership.

The Committee made the following comments and points:

- Clarification on which projects were specifically City-based (as opposed to City & Hackney-based) would be welcome;

- Noting that 687K people travel into the City every day for work, more information on their needs is required;

- Given the scarcity of resources (and noting the financial recovery plan likely to affect services), there appears to be a lack of information on priorities;

- More information on prevention of ill health would be helpful;

- Further clarification on which health inequalities are being targeted is required, noting the references to these being place-based; and

- There is not enough detailed information on the effective use of physical resources, noting national directives around the use of resources – mainly in the acute sector.

On the above points, the meeting heard that the 2025-26 plan is currently being drafted and is expected to include more information on these matters:

- City-based projects;

- The health needs of those travelling into the City for work;

- Clearer information on priorities given the restrictions around resources, noting the significant financial restraints;

- Information of prevention of ill health, noting the emphasis on prevention at Government level;

- Specific health inequalities; and

- Use of physical resources.
