2.  Were in Shadow form April 12 – March 13  April 13 forwards; real and have to meet in Public-fully constituted Council committee  Boards of Commissioners not Commissioning Boards  Strategic Boards-shared vision and principles has to have an agreed HWB Strategy (using JSNA)  Has responsibilities but no decision making power  Memberships of Boards vary  Health Oversight and Scrutiny Committee (HOSC) are able to comment on HWB activity

3.  Council’s duty to take steps to improve public health  SoS’s public health protection or health improvement functions  Planning and responding to emergencies that present a public health risk  Role to co-operate with the police, probation and prison services  Plus anything else the SoS sees fits to delegate  The DPH has to write a Public Health report and the LA has a responsibility to publish it  DPH is a mandated member of the HWB

4. Use of the JSNA and PHE data provided to the CCG and to Councils to inform the production of;  A Joint Health and Wellbeing Strategy  Updated JSNA  Pharmaceutical Needs assessment Plus responsibility  to increase and develop integration of health and social care  to expand joint commissioning  to ensure Public Engagement; Healthwatch are members of the Board(community and Vol sector) and strengthen local accountability

5.  Unusual for Councils as have Councillors and Officers of the Council working together  Power of Health varies from place to place according to the number of CCGs  Voting and Quorums also vary  No providers- as it is a grouping of commissioners  Director of Public Health mandated position; PHE say as “honest broker”, not easy- now also the arbitrators in HCAI disputes  Unlikely that any of us would be a member

8.  Know who is on your local Board; chose an appropriate person to lobby-E.g. councillor or Healthwatch  Councillors are new to the Health agenda  Councils are political and so lobbying and briefing will be necessary, but watch your relationship with your Commissioners  Health Commissioning is still in the hands of the CCG, so lead GPs will also need to be lobbied  Ensure you link your subject to the agreed priorities ; HWB Strategy and the CCG Integrated plan( plus JSNA)  Localism agenda v Competition and AQP  Councils are used to procuring services from the Private and Voluntary sectors- threat or opportunity  Councils tend to be “poorer” than the NHS and are subject to greater efficiency savings (CSR minus 10%)- have savings in mind as ever  New integrated Health and social care plans are the new requirement- so make friends with your Borough Colleagues

9.  On the Horizon are Integrated Care organisations (ICO) ; this will definitely affect your services and your staff  Norman Lamb MP announcement was on national TV  These organisations will be the mechanism to save money by integrating H&SC teams to create savings  There is a national working group looking at how these will function; Legal status, operating model,financing, staffing etc

10.  Go and listen to the HWB in Public  Keep up with and read commissioning documents for priorities  Lobby when you can, whilst having an eye to your main commissioners views- use the priorities  One Councillor will have Public health and HWB in their portfolio  Join in on any developments; ICO’s, Social enterprises, new developments in pathway redesign
