Wednesday 14th March 2018

2. Public Bodies (Joint Working) (Scotland) Act 2014
Why locality planning?
Public Bodies (Joint Working) (Scotland) Act 2014
Aberdeenshire – 6 Administrative areas, 20 localities
What are the benefits?
Bringing people together to plan and redesign services
Identify local priorities
Bring about change
The Public Bodies (Joint Working) (Scotland) Act 2014 requires Health and Social Care Partnerships to define their localities (smaller areas within the borders of the Integration Authority) and how they will lead service planning at this locality level.
Administrative areas –South – Marr and Kincardine & Mearns
Localities are intended to be central to the process of integration, bringing together service users, carers, and health and care professionals to plan and help redesign services. Creating forums to bring these people together will enable them to play an active role in service design and improvement. As well as to raise awareness of current services, identify local priorities and create a culture where these local relationships can lead to real change.
Meetings – Started Locality Group Meetings in August, to be published by April 2018

3. AHSCP Strategic Plan: The locality plans had to be aligned with to the two strategic themes and 10 priorities in the AHSCP Strategic Plan
4. National Health and Wellbeing Priorities. They also had to be aligned with the Nine National Health and Wellbeing Priorities set by the Scottish Government
The linkage with the strategic plan and the national health and wellbeing outcomes will ensure that performance is comparable between areas across Aberdeenshire and variation can be explored.

5. Identifying priority themes for Marr
Five stakeholder workshops between August and December ’17
Local knowledge
Ongoing consultation between each workshop session
The members of this group used their knowledge of the area to identify the initial priorities for the Locality Plan and each member of the group shared these with their own wider network for comments and feedback. Following every workshop, the outputs were circulated around the wider network. This approach enabled us to ensure that the Locality Plan was developed with ongoing input from the people who are best placed to identify the priorities, objectives and measurable actions against which we can measure our performance and progress.

6. The priority themes for Marr
Partner with people to stay happily and healthily at home longer
Equality of access to health and social care services
Improve the wellbeing and access to services and support for people with low to medium level mental health issues, in particular teenagers with mental health issues and their parents
Improve the wellbeing and access to services and support for people with alcohol issues (especially in rural settings)
The plans were focussed upon priority themes which were the outcome of the stakeholder workshops. The priority themes will be in place for three years, as the plans will run from

7. Action Plans – Delivering on Priorities
