A presentation from the Integrated Programme
Manager.
Minutes:
Members received a presentation from the
Integrated Commissioning Manager and, during the discussion and
questions, the following points were noted:
The new Primary Care Networks and
the importance of its alignment with the emerging neighbourhood
model.
There were concerns expressed about
the size of the neighbourhood and whether the City might be at a
disadvantage? Officers
advised that a bespoke operational model would be developed around
the Neaman Practice, given that the City had its own social care
and reablement services and different voluntary sector
services. However, this would still be
part of a wider neighbourhood, which could enable more local
provision of community and specialised services, thereby reducing
the need for the City residents to travel for
treatment. Officers agreed to
discuss this further with Healthwatch, outside of the meeting.
There was currently just one City
resident on the Patient Panel and, in order to fully articulate the
City’s needs, Members would like to see this increased.
There were currently three City of
London Corporation Members on the Integrated Commissioning Board,
as a Sub Committee of the Community and Children’s Services
Committee.
Work was underway on cross-border
issues and their importance in terms of the development of
integrated care in the City of London.
