Members discussed a number of matters, including:

 

·  Support for the overall approach, specifically the improved references to tackling health inequalities in all programmes at West Yorkshire and Harrogate level and having a greater focus on the conditions needed for health and working with wider partners.

·  Support for the integration and recognition of oral health in primary care within the draft plan and the need for similar consideration within the Leeds Plan.

·  The Chair also queried whether any of the unspent dentistry budget from the national Specialist Commissioning budget could be potentially re-invested locally on in-school dentist provision, as opposed to being returned to central government. An update would be provided to the Chair in due course on this matter.

·  Concerns around the direction of travel being suggested nationally to rationalise the number of CCGs to one per Integrated Care System, which Members felt would not be appropriate for West Yorkshire and Harrogate given the large geography of the partnership. The Director responded that a strong message has been sent back to NHSE/I from the WYH Partnership that a single CCG would not be suitable.
