28.1     The Board considered an update report on the East Sussex Shared Delivery Plan (SDP) Programme. Mark Stainton, Director of Adult Social Care and Health introduced the report. Appendix 1 of the report summarises the eight milestones which are to be achieved by March 2024, and appendix 2 provides more detail on the progress against the milestones. The report also outlines the development of the Integrated Community Teams (ICTs), their key functions, and the enhanced partnership and governance arrangements. Jessica Britton, Executive Managing Director NHS Sussex, added that in the development of the ICTs it had been important to reflect the key themes of the Health and Wellbeing Strategy and demonstrate how ICTs were achieving against key outcomes.

28.2     Members of the Board observed that they were pleased with progress and the work in the community was starting to make improvements. The Board asked if in a future report it would be possible to have a graphic of how ICTs integrated with communities in delivering their work.

28.3     The Chair thanked officers for another good report and the progress that was being made. He commented that with the winter pressures approaching it was important not to forget the good work that was taking place.

28.4     The Board RESOLVED to:

1) Note the content of the progress report; and

2) Note the outline proposals being developed for a strengthened East Sussex ‘Health, Care and Wellbeing Partnership’ and accountability to the Health and Wellbeing Board, which will be brought to the March 2024 meeting of the Health and Wellbeing Board.
