The Board discussed how best the existing service could be accessed and publicised further, and how the service could align with the work of other agencies.

Resolved - (a) That Ian Jerams be thanked for the presentation and asked to prepare a short briefing note on the subject for circulation to all Board members, and (b) that consideration be given to providing a presentation on self harm to the Local Safeguarding Children Board.

90 (50) UPDATE ON THE BETTER CARE FUND PLAN - The Director of People and the Chief Officer, North Lincolnshire Clinical Commissioning Group (CCG) submitted a joint report providing the Board with an update to the national changes to the requirements for the Better Care Fund (BCF).

The Health and Wellbeing Board received and supported the draft plan developed for the BCF by the CCG and council at an extraordinary meeting on 14 February 2014. An update on the finalisation of the plan was given at a meeting of the Board on 25 March 2014 and delegation agreed for submission of the final plan on 4 April 2014 to NHS England. This was then to be subject to a national assurance process to provide sign off and approval to implement. The plan became an integral part of the North Lincolnshire 5 year Strategic Plan agreed in June 2014.

On 25 July 2014 revised guidance on the BCF was issued by NHS England and the Local Government Association. This made some changes to the requirements in relation to the BCF and required the resubmission of plans by 19 September 2014 with new templates issued for completion. The development of the revised plan was also subject to a national assurance programme through NHS England and substantial resources have been published and provided to support areas in the development of robust plans.

The CCG's Chief Officer gave an overview of the work undertaken to review the submission in light of the revised guidance, before the Director of Commissioning gave a presentation on issues such as impacts and benefits, pooled budgets, metrics, and further required developments. It was explained that some of the required work would be completed by the required date, and that some would require further discussion and agreement beyond this.

Board members engaged in a discussion about the bid and the wider BCF agenda, particularly around the potential to disinvest in acute hospital provision where demand is increasing year-on-year, in order to fund a more community-based preventative approach. There was general agreement that this approach was the most sustainable, and that the wider Board partnership should now focus on how this can be delivered in practice.

Resolved - (a) That further discussions take place amongst relevant partners to finalise aspects of the revised plan, where possible (b) that agreement of the revised plan be delegated to the Chief Officer, North Lincolnshire Clinical Commissioning Group, and the Chief Executive, North Lincolnshire Council, and submitted by 19 September 2014 with a supporting letter, with the understanding and acceptance that it will be approved with support or conditions from NHS England, and (c) that work continue to agree local solutions on outstanding issues.

91 UPDATE ON JOINT HEALTH AND WELLBEING STRATEGY PRIORITY 1 - FOCUSSING ON THE BEST START: CONCEPTION TO AGE TWO. The Assistant Director - Children gave a detailed oral report, updating Board members on work that had taken place on the Joint Health and Wellbeing Strategy Delivery Plan Priority 1 'Focussing on the Best Start: Conception to Age Two'. The presentation included a description of an integrated service structured around a principle of 'right service, right time, right place.' Other improvements described within the presentation included reducing the number of professionals working with families, redesigning assessments, and reducing referrals. An overview of relevant indicators was given, before the Board engaged in a discussion on integration, staffing and benefits to children.

92 LOCAL GOVERNMENT ASSOCIATION PEER CHALLENGE OF THE HEALTH AND WELLBEING BOARD - The Director of Public Health gave a brief oral update on discussions with the Local Government Association regarding the forthcoming Peer Challenge.
