Issue - meetings

Dr. Julie Kitlowski to present

Read the Planning Guidance for NHS providers and commissioners. https://www.england.nhs.uk/ourwork/futurenhs/deliver-forward-view/

The Chair drew the Board’s attention to the recently published NHS Planning Guidance 2016/17-2020/21 which set out the steps to deliver a sustainable, transformed Health Service.  It included the key priorities for the system, agreed by all national health and care bodies, plus the business rules and incentives that would support delivery.

The CCG would have to produce two plans as well as consult with the Board on the Rotherham Place Plan which was a five year plan and had to be produced by March, 2016.  CCG’s were also being instructed to produce a regional Sustainability and Transformation Plan which included sustainability across the hospital sector as well as the CCG. Debate was taking place as to whether this would include South Yorkshire and Bassetlaw or South Yorkshire, Bassetlaw and Derbyshire.  Technical guidance was awaited and there would be timescale issues. 

Discussion ensued with the following issues raised:-

-          Possible alignment with the City Region – Health was not part of the South Yorkshire devolution

-          It covered all ages and was all encompassing

Resolved:-  That the report be noted and further updates be submitted as and when information becomes available.
