Minutes:

A member of the public, Dr John Puntis, congratulated the Board on achievements set out within the Annual Review report (Item 9).

 

Dr Puntis raised some concerns about the potential sharing of personal health data between the NHS and the Department for Work and Pensions (DWP) to inform benefit decisions, and wished to hear the Board’s views on the matter. In response, the Board recognised the risk associated with sharing personal data in this way, but were not aware of any policies or projects which would facilitate data sharing with the DWP and would seek more information.

 

In relation to the NHS Long Term Plan (Item 12), Dr Puntis also raised some concerns around the lack of accountability of Integrated Care Systems (ICSs) and the reduced role of the Local Authority. Mr Puntis also felt that some key issues were not addressed within the plan, including vacancies and increased private sector provision. In response, Mr Puntis was informed that the Council have been clear in ensuring that their voice is heard, and will do so through a number of forums such as the introduction of a number of partnership boards chaired by the Leader of the Council. Mr Puntis was also assured that the Leeds approach was to move away from outsourcing.
