Issue - meetings

On 14 June 2018 the CQC published its review of how local health and social care systems work together in Wiltshire. Further details can be accessed on the CQC website.

This report is one of 20 targeted local system reviews looking specifically at how older people move through the health and social care system, with a focus on how services work together. The reviews looked at how hospitals, community health services, GP practices, care homes and homecare agencies work together to provide seamless care for people aged 65 and over living in a local area.

The full CQC report can be accessed here and has also been included with this agenda for ease of reference.

The Health Select Committee will also consider a report (to follow) on the CQC review prior to its consideration by the Health and Wellbeing on 12 July 2018.

The Cabinet Member for Adult Social Care, Public Health and Public Protection introduced the item and explained the outcomes of the review and the issues around not having enough carers in the community and the lack of joined up working.

Between receiving the draft report and the final report a lot of work, a long side partners, had taken place. An action plan had been produced, which was included with the agenda and work would start in July 2018.  

Resolved:

To ask the Scrutiny Officer to include update on the actions from the action plan as per their due date on the committee’s forward work programme.

To ask the committee to consider if there are any areas within the report that they feel require further OS involvement – suggestions to be emailed to the chair / scrutiny officer.
