The Chair welcomed Cllr. G Latty back to the Committee after his illness. He asked that Cllr. Latty in his role as Health Champion and member of the Health and Wellbeing Board introduce item 9 – Overview on the Development of the Leeds Plan and West Yorkshire and Harrogate Sustainability and Transformation Plan (STP).

 

Cllr. G Latty introduced the item informing Members that the report set out a number of ways in which Members could contribute to the Leeds Plan and the West Yorkshire and Harrogate STP.

 

Cllr. Latty praised individual departments in the NHS but went on to say that unfortunately not all areas were joined up such as admissions and discharges.

 

Cllr. Latty went on to say that the provision of the health services was not one that should be taken lightly. He was of the view that the survival of the health service required cultural and attitude change. He said that Members needed to encourage social prescribing looking to local health services in the community to offer preventative and ongoing care.

 

Steve Walker, Director of Children’s Services, Dr Chris Mills, local GP from Rawdon, and Paul Bollom Interim Chief Officer, Leeds Health Partnerships presented the report.

 

The Committee was informed that this was the start of consultation on the Leeds Plan which had been launched in April 2016.

 

Members were advised that the Leeds Health and Wellbeing Strategy 2016-2021 set out 5 outcomes and 12 priorities. The Strategy has twin aims of feeding into the West Yorkshire and Harrogate STP and providing a delivery plan for our citywide health and care ambitions in Leeds.

 

The Committee was informed that the Leeds Plan was a ‘roadmap’ for how the city would improve health and wellbeing, improve care and quality and work towards more financial sustainability, providing a focus for services to work together.

 

The Leeds Plan has four main themes underpinned by a commitment to culture change built on working with people wherever possible in all aspects of their health and care they were listed as follows:

·  Prevention

·  Self-management, proactive and planned care

·  Optimising the use of secondary care resources  and facilities

·  Urgent care / rapid response in times of crisis

 

It was also noted that there were 3 gaps in the outcomes. Members were advised that the gaps were as follows:

·  Health and Wellbeing – Life expectancy for men and women remains significantly worse in Leeds than the national average

·  Care and Quality – NHS Constitutional KPI’s have been identified as areas to focus on to reduce the care and quality gap these include

o  Metal Health

o  Patient Satisfaction

o  A&E and Ambulance response times

o  Delayed transfers of care

o  Hospital admission rates

·  Finance and Efficiency 

 

Dr Mills of Rawdon Surgery and Chair of Leeds GP Provider Group provided Members of an overview on statistics for the outer North West area in relation to:

·  Life expectancy at birth

·  Under 75 Cardiovascular disease mortality

·  Under 75 Cancer mortality

·  And the suicides identified by audit  ...  view the full minutes text for item 47.
