VI IMPACT OF COVID-19 PANDEMIC ON DELIVERY OF THE STRATEGIC AND COMMISSIONING PLAN
Prior to consideration of this item of business Vicky Irons took the opportunity to appraise the Integration Joint Board of the current position in relation to the ongoing health emergency and operational management of this including commencement of the vaccination programme in Care Homes and the considerable efforts made by staff and partner organisations over the period. There had been significant changes to the level of restrictions over the period and services were continually being adapted to meet and respond to these. The pandemic was impacting on the wellbeing of individuals with an increase in people suffering from anxiety and the rise in referrals to mental health services. Efforts were continuing to support people in their own homes.
Reference was made to Article VII of the minute of meeting of this Integration Joint Board of 29th March, 2019 wherein the Strategic and Commissioning Plan 2019/2022 was approved.
Reference was also made to Article VI of the minute of meeting of this Integration Joint Board held on 25th August, 2020 wherein a report outlining the anticipated impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on strategic planning arrangements including response and recovery planning, and their impact on delivery of the Partnerships Strategic and Commissioning Plan 2019/2022 was approved.
There was submitted Report No DIJB50-2020 by the Chief Officer outlining the anticipated high-level impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the Partnerships ability to deliver the Strategic and Commissioning Plan 2019/2022; providing an update regarding discussion at the Strategic Planning Advisory Group regarding the full assessment of this impact and communication with stakeholders regarding that impact; and, informing of early planning for the revision of the current Strategic and Commissioning Plan.
Sheila Allan gave a presentation in supplement to the report
The Integration Joint Board agreed:-
(i) to note the content of the presentation and the verbal briefing provided by Vicky Irons;
(ii) to note the content of the report and Appendix 1 of the report;
(iii) to instruct the Chief Finance Officer, working in collaboration with the Strategic Planning Advisory Group, to draft a statement summarising the impact of the pandemic on their ability to deliver the strategic plan to the scale originally envisaged (as described in section 4.8 of the report) and submit this to a meeting of the Integration Joint Board for approval;
(iv) to instruct the Chief Finance Officer, working in collaboration with the Strategic Planning Advisory Group, to produce a detailed workplan to support the revision of the Strategic and Commissioning Plan 2019/2022 (as described at section 4.12 of the report), to implement this workplan and to provide a further update to the Integration Joint Board no later than 30th April, 2021; and
(v) to note the priority that had been given to work to revise the Strategic Needs Assessment and the planned approach and timescale for completion of this work (as described in sections 4.13 to 4.17 of the report).
Following questions and answers the Integration Joint Board further agreed:-
(vi) to note as suggested by Trudy McLeay that there may be benefit of working with Universities to establish if a city wide approach to Social Prescribing could be a dissertation project for Social Work Students; and
(vii) to note as indicated by Kathryn Sharp that reference to limited progress on work to align the Partnerships services with the Children and Families Service to similar service delivery areas not being due to the impact of the pandemic was due to alignment of schools and integration within the partnership areas and alignment of localities.
