(4.50pm – 5.00pm)

·         Partnership Feedback.

·         To consider a report and to receive a presentation providing a summary of the work to date to develop the Caring Together Programme across Eastern Cheshire.

A report summarising the work to date to develop the Caring Together Programme across Eastern Cheshire had been circulated with the agenda for the meeting. It had been presented to supply the Health and Wellbeing Board members with background information to support their understanding of the development of the programme through collaborative working with multiple partners and its objectives and the current activities and plans. The Caring Together Programme was a large scale transformational change programme, aimed at finding and implementing solutions to complex issues which could not be resolved by individual organisations working alone, as opposed to normal scale change projects and programmes which all organisations were continually engaged in to ensure on-going improvements to their own business delivery.

Due to time constraints it was not possible to give full consideration to this important issue at the meeting and it was agreed that it should be included as the first item on the agenda for the next private meeting of the Board, to enable full and proper consideration of this matter.

Jerry Hawker, Chief Officer NHS Eastern Cheshire CCG, undertook to circulate the link to a short animation on the Caring Together Vision and principles, to Board members and requested that any comments be submitted to him or Sam Nichols, the Caring Together Programme Director.
