To receive a report from the Director of Public Health. (Report to follow).

The Director of Public Health gave an update on the Integrated Care Partnership (ICP) Strategy. Since the last meeting, the strategy development broke from national guidance to allow for wider consultation and the paper the board received underpinned this approach.  The ICP Strategy must be produced by December 2022. There will be interviews with people who would not usually take part in engagement exercises. Dorset does not stand out on national health measures and there was variation in causes of ill health. The strategy needed a focus on integration and how commissioning could be done differently. The draft strategy would be ready for circulation by September then there would be another round of consultation before December.

Members of the board discussed the ICP Strategy and commented that:

·         It was acknowledged by the Secretary of State that the strategy produced by December would likely be a first draft.

·         Finances should be used flexibly across health and local government to get the best use of the Dorset pound.

·         The ICP should be outcome focussed, not process driven.

·         It needed to be clear what each other’s roles would be in the delivery of the strategy.

·         Objectives should be ambitious as possible over the first 5 years.

·         The Dorset Council Plan fits in with the timescale of this plan.

·         There would be things that would need to do differently over a long period of time to see the health differences at scale.

Following the update on the ICP Strategy, the board discussed a joint development session with the BCP Health and Wellbeing Board. The session would include the Joint Strategic Needs Assessment and case studies.

Members supported the update on the approach and development of the ICP Strategy; and

Supported the proposed joint development session in July with BCP Health and Wellbeing Board to sign off on the Joint Strategic Needs Assessment and consider how the Boards will work with the ICS going forwards.
