(iii) Any Other Major Issues to Highlight to the Integration Joint Board

 

- Good progress has been made in developing and implementing the Partnership's Performance Framework. The Partnership has access to a comprehensive suite of indicators. This provides a new outward approach for benchmarking performance against national data and should assist the Partnership in identifying the key challenges facing it and the actions to be prioritised. Work is in hand to analyse the findings contained within the performance report and actions have been identified to address the key issues and challenges facing the Partnership with associated links to the Partnership's risk register to be made. An Outcomes and Performance Co‑ordination Group is to be established to support further development of the Framework and assist in the production of quarterly and annual performance reports. It was noted future reports would be structured on a locality basis. Further work is to be undertaken in relation to unscheduled care admissions to hospitals and also finalisation of data into respite care.

- The Committee reviewed the Care Inspection reports following inspections at Oakland Day Centre and older people homes Janet Brougham House and Menzieshill House and were pleased to note the grades awarded to the service, the strengths identified within the service and the very positive comments made by servise users and carers. The Committee recorded their appreciation for the contribution and diligence of staff in these establishments in achieving the positive grades and comments.

- The Committee noted the progress made in addressing the issues arising from the Audit Scotland Health and Social Care Integration Report.

- The Committee also noted the progress made against actions arising from the 2015/16 Annual Internal Audit Report.

V DO YOU NEED TO TALK? LISTENING SERVICE

 

Alan Gibbon, Senior Chaplain, NHS Tayside gave a presentation on the aims and objectives of the Listening Service which was a national service being developed in NHS Scotland and its model of support being provided within NHS Tayside. The service was provided in 18 site locations within Dundee primarily based at General Practice Surgeries. The Listening Service was defined as being person centred care which seeks to help people (re) discover hope, resilience and inner strength in times of illness, injury, transition and loss.

Sessions may last up to 50 minutes. Patients may present themselves with a range of issues including bereavement, relationship issues, fear/anxiety, loneliness, guilt, drugs/alcohol issues or self esteem/confidence or identity issues. The listeners were volunteers and the national training programme was funded by the Scottish Government. There were currently 11 volunteer listeners in Dundee and over 2015/2016 they saw 211 patients.
