Performance Sub-Group The Sub-Group had met recently and discussed final Adult Social Care Outcomes Framework (ASCOF) measures and benchmarking data. Notes would follow but from the workshop two further items had been identified for the work programme:-
Carers – given their rights under the Care Act and the need to enable them to carry out their important role in helping people remain independent for as long as possible.
Information, Advice and Guidance – getting this right was imperative for the new approaches and what was hoped to be achieved.
Improving Lives Select Commission Councillor Jarvis would supply a written report to be circulated to the Select Commission Members.
Carnson House Councillor Andrews reported that the sub-group had visited the premises and had been impressed with the improvements that had been made and how the service was implemented. There was still progress to be made in some areas but overall it was positive. The transferred staff had settled with recruitment still taking place.

Health and Wellbeing Board Minutes: Consideration was to given to the minutes of the Health and Wellbeing Board held on 30th January, 2019.
Minute No. 41 (Developing a Rotherham Healthy Weight for All Plan):-
“Obesity levels are much higher in our most deprived communities: the three most deprived wards (Rotherham Ease, Rotherham West and Valley) have some of the highest rates for obese children at Reception and Year 6 - Councillor Keenan asked what input had been sought or would be sought from local Councillors embedded in those communities to look at best practice and what resources were they giving to those Councillors to challenge and work? She knew there were individual pockets of good work going on with Rotherham United, healthy eating cafes and things like that and she would like to know where that was going. As one of those Councillors she was concerned it had been put out there without anyone speaking to us?
“Explore opportunities in the work place to promote physical activity such as stair challenges, walking/running groups, moving more often during the working day (linked to Healthy Workplace Award)” - Councillor Keenan asked what opportunities have been put in place for RMBC staff? It was all well and good having that but if we do not have opportunities at Riverside and indeed here (i.e. Town Hall) and including for the Councillors to take on board this exercise plan?
“Schools Meals Service provided approximately 1500 school meals and had a Food for Life Bronze award. Work in this area would hit a cohort from the age of 4 years upwards.” – Councillor Jarvis stated some children did not pay and some did pay what amounted to quite a lot in a week. This service costs schools money as they subsidised the price with people charged less than the full price, which meant the money came out of their teaching and learning budget. So we cannot be complacent and need to see what we can do about the price of school meals as in deprived areas just because children do not qualify for free school meals does not mean it has been solved.
Minute No. 44 (Rotherham Suicide Prevention and Self-Harm Action Plan):-
“After a small decrease … Rotherham was significantly higher than England and ranked as the second highest compared to 15 CIPFA nearest neighbour LAs” - Councillor Ellis asked would it be timely to have this back to the Commission as this was an issue the Commission had been interested in over time?
Janet Spurling, Scrutiny Adviser, confirmed that it was hoped to arrange a multi-agency workshop session for the Select Commission in April with all partners.
Resolved:- (1) That the minutes of the Health and Wellbeing Board held on 30th January, 2019, be noted.
(2) That the issues raised above be referred to the Cabinet Member for Adult Social Care and Health and the relevant officers for responses. |
