Minutes: Dr Celia Grummitt - Sarum Clinical Commissioning Group updated the meeting on the development of a pilot Healthy Communities Network in the Tidworth community area.
Points made included:
What it is
• A public health and GP led health commissioning pilot which has funding to April 2013.
• One of 8 pilot sites in the South of Wiltshire.
• A drive to enhance the sense of community and bring well being to people and families.
• Possibly part of The Big Society vision and definitely designed to join things up.
The Healthy Community
• With new NHS commissioning underway the vision unfolding in Wiltshire is that of the Health community which surrounds each one of us with what we need to be healthy.
• Staying Healthy is one of the Commissioning intentions.
• Things like housing, education, employment, opportunities to volunteer, care at home, policing, clubs to belong to etc.
• The Healthy Community Network is when people who are involved in providing these things come together to share information appropriately.
The Healthy Community Network
• Can be called different things in different places but is essentially where people who are part of the Healthy Community share visions and information and make plans.
• Each HCN will have a HC Co-ordinator who helps the network to happen and updates information for the pilot site area.
• The meetings are monthly and the rest is for stakeholders to shape
Where to go from here
• Further meetings will be held once every month.
• The first part of the meeting is a Network opportunity with a cup of tea, or coffee.
• The second part, as run elsewhere, is a short structured part of the meeting where people can share ideas, news, concerns and events.
Questions raised from the floor:
· Would waiting times improve under this new system? a.Yes, the scheme would help.

Tidworth Campus Update Barry Crane – (Tidworth Community Operations Board) to update the meeting on the proposed Tidworth community area Campus development. Minutes: Barry Crane – Tidworth Community Operations Board updated the meeting on the proposed Tidworth community area Campus development.
Points made:
· SCOB has held a number of meetings to discuss the introduction of a local Campus to serve the Tidworth Area Board locality.
· One of the reasons for the campus project is to reduce the number of WCC offices at county hall and to bring the personnel into the community with the use of ‘hot desking’. Hot desking is a facility where a member of WCC can work with full internet connectivity and keep up with their responsibilities whilst being around the county.
· Other suggested facilities a campus might provide is meeting rooms for groups, drop in centres and the like.
· Location - As the name suggests some of the campus facilities would be based in Tidworth, and some would be based in Ludgershall. There would be facilities that would be duplicated in Tidworth and Ludgershall, and there would be facilities that would be shared, exactly what these are is yet to be decided.
· Col Paddy Tabor, Hannah Day and Tony Pickernell along with the rest of the team are working on the consultation document.
Outline of the programme
The Chairman thanked Barry Crane for his update. |
