Decision details

Mark Youlton presented the report which provided an overview of how the proposals for improving health, care and wellbeing across Pennine Lancashire had been developed and recommended the Pennine Plan for consideration and approval.

In December 2017, the Pennine Integrated Health and Care Partnership published a draft of the Pennine Plan to test proposals for change with a broad range of stakeholders, and to gather feedback and insight to inform more detailed service specifications and implementation plans.  These had been used to shape the final version of the Pennine Plan, which was attached at Appendix A.

Collaboration between Health and Social Care agencies in Pennine Lancashire had a substantial history already.  However, this was being given new impetus by emerging national policy developments regarding integration of health and social care services.  There was also considerable local momentum in Pennine Lancashire to move progressively but decisively towards even closer and ultimately formal legal partnership arrangements.

Resolved:  That the Health and Wellbeing Board:

i)  Approved the Pennine Plan as the blueprint for health and care transformation in Pennine Lancashire.

ii)  Sought assurance from the Pennine Partnership that in its delivery of the Pennine Plan it would also take account and ensure delivery of the emerging priorities of the Lancashire and South Cumbria Integrated Care System.

iii)  Agreed any further requirements, aspirations or expectations that should be communicated on behalf of the Lancashire Health and Wellbeing Board in relation to the future development of the Pennine Partnership and the delivery of the Pennine Plan.
