To note the CCG Annual Plan and Prospectus for 2013-14.

Consideration was given to a report relating to the NHS South Cheshire CCG Annual Plan & Prospectus for 2013/14. The report provided an overview of the CCG and its plans for the financial year. It described the standards that local people could expect from the services that the CCG was commissioning on their behalf and a high level description of how the budget for these services would be spent, how it would work with key partners to address health inequalities and importantly, how the local population’s views had been and would continue to be heard and reflected in its plans.

In determining its programme of work and projects for 2013-14, the CCG had listened to local people about what was important to them in terms of health services, looked at the Joint Strategic Needs Assessment (JSNA), and reviewed the health inequalities of the local population and other health evidence sources. The CCG had also worked with partners on the Health and Wellbeing Board, provider organisations and the voluntary sector, to consider the key challenges that together they needed to address to make a real difference to the health and wellbeing of its communities over the coming year.

It had aligned its priorities under three Strategic Programmes, which would bring clarity to its work and projects and also aligned with the Joint Health and Wellbeing Strategy,  the Starting Well Programme, the Living Well Programme and the Ageing Well Programme. It took responsibility to commission high quality and safe care and in order to improve the quality of service and care, focused on four areas of quality (CASE):- Care, Accessibility, Safety and Effectiveness.

It was noted that it would be important to keep a track on progress and outcomes and it was agreed that updates would be provided through the existing reporting mechanisms.

RESOLVED

That the CCG Annual Plan and Prospectus for 2013-14 be noted.
