Issue - meetings

To receive an update on the Business Plan.

The Head of Service Planning introduced the report which set out the progress that had been made on each item that was featured within the business plan.

Officers responded to comments and requests for clarification, details included:

• This data used was from national indicators and were performance measures as opposed to targets. When the term “on target” was used it put us Public Health Dorset in line or above the level across England or at a regional level.
• In terms of children’s service data, Public Health reviewed the benchmark data and compared with what had been recorded across the Dorset and BCP areas.
• It was suggested that the presentation of data could be brought into scope in terms of reviewing the service.
• More work needed to be done by key stakeholders to understand where Public Health had responsibility for accessibility to Mental Health services provision.
