Dave Carr, Mike Kirby and Neil Kissock from Lancashire County Council, were welcomed to the meeting and presented the item to the Board.

At the meeting of the Lancashire Health and Wellbeing Board (HWBB) on 20 June 2017 the Board agreed that the final draft Lancashire Improved Better Care Fund (iBCF) plans for 2017-19 be presented to the Board for consideration and approval.

Spending proposals have now been developed, which are consistent with the iBCF Grant conditions and priorities agreed by the HWBB.  Subject to agreement by the HWBB, schemes will progress to implementation, ensuring that there are clear impact measures and that implementation supports and enhances existing activity such as Passport to Independence, and wherever appropriate provide a model that can be applied across the Lancashire Sustainable Transformation Partnership.

The iBCF Grant paid to a local authority may be used only for the purposes of meeting adult social care needs; reducing pressures on the NHS, including supporting more people to be discharged from hospital when they are ready; and ensuring that the local social care provider market is supported.  There is no requirement to spend across all three purposes, or to spend a set proportion on each.

Following discussions it was:

Resolved:  that the HWBB agreed:

i)  That the proposed spending plans for the Improved Better Care Fund Grant for 2017/19.

ii)  That the proposals should progress to implementation, ensuring that there are clear impact measures and that implementation supports and enhances existing activity such as Passport to Independence, and wherever appropriate provide a model that can be applied across the Lancashire and Cumbria Sustainable Transformation Partnership.

iii)  A Delayed Transfers of Care (DTOC) update and delivery plan be presented to the HWBB on 14 November 2017.

An item of Urgent Business may only be considered under this heading, where, by reason of special circumstances to be recorded in the minutes, the Chair of the meeting is of the opinion that the item should be considered at the meeting as a matter of urgency.  Wherever possible, the Chief Executive should be given advance warning of any Members' intention to raise a matter under this heading.

There were no matters of urgent business received.
