5 NHS Eastern Cheshire Clinical Commissioning Group 2013-14 Prospectus PDF 964 KB
The Board is asked to note the content of the NHS Eastern Cheshire Clinical Commissioning Group Prospectus for 2013-14
Minutes:
In accordance with the requirements of Everyone Counts: Planning for Patients 2013/14 the clinical commissioning group had produced an Annual Plan Prospectus for 2013/14; whilst its content was at the discretion of the Group it was expected to include plans for delivering the priorities in its annual plan on a page, its links to the Health and Wellbeing Strategy and the role of the clinical commissioning group.
It was noted that in addition to the printed version of the prospectus it was intended for there to be a digital version which would encompass interactive technologies.
Clarification was given on engagement with patients groups, and the range of publicity measures to be employed. It was noted that both the Clinical Commissioning Groups were publishing prospectus’ demonstrating how they would address priorities within the Health and Wellbeing Strategic Plan. Points were raised regarding whether the local Public Health Team and the Council would be publishing similar documents reflecting how they would be addressing the Health and Wellbeing Strategy. It was agreed that these matters be looked at further by a subset of the Committee with a view to what could be produced taking into account the current council’s three year plan and identifying where collective action could be advantageous.
In addition it was noted that there had been particular difficulties associated with producing this prospectus as the NHS Commissioning board plans were still being established at the time work on the local prospectus needed to begin. It was agreed that a timetable for the production of the next prospectus should be produced to ensure that it fitted in with the timetables of other associated plans.
RESOLVED
1. That the contents of the prospectus be noted.
2. That a subset of the Board investigate and report back to the next meeting on those areas of work that would benefit from a collective approach.
3. That a timetable be produced to assist in the production of future prospectuses to enable it to benefit from, and to be included in, the production of other such annual plans.
