DECISIONS

1) Endorse the update for year 2 of the 5-year Shared Delivery Plan;

2) Agree the continuation of the East Sussex Health and Wellbeing Board population and Place priorities as set out in Appendix 1 of the report;

4) Delegate authority to the Director of Adult Social Care and Health to provide feedback in writing to the NHS Sussex Integrated Care Board, to support final approval.

REASONS

5.3       The year 2 refresh of the 5-year Shared Delivery Plan (SDP) reflects the continuing priorities for change that are thought will improve the system working to achieve better health and care outcomes across Sussex. This includes the areas of change related to the East Sussex system and population specifically.

5.4       Deliverables are being carried out within existing resources, and as a single shared plan the SDP will support alignment of resources and capacity to enable delivery at both a Place and System level. As such programme delivery arrangements at a pan-Sussex and Place level are being aligned with new System and Place-Partnership governance arrangements described in paragraphs 2.13 – 2.20 of the report.

5.5       The People Scrutiny Committee: Health and Social Care Integration Programme (HASCIP) Reference Group met on 24 June 2024 to consider the SDP year 2 refresh plans, and feedback has been provided at Appendix 3 of the report to inform the Leader and Lead Member’s decisions.

5.6       The unique statutory role of the East Sussex Health and Wellbeing Board (HWB) and the underpinning Place partnership governance will be critical to maintaining oversight and mutual accountability for how well East Sussex County Council works in partnership at Place to deliver the SDP. Proposals to further strengthen the way the HWB carries out the ‘stewardship’ role for partners in the East Sussex system have also been developed for HWB consideration at its meeting on 16 July 2024.
