The Minutes of the previous meeting of the Board held on 27 June 2019 are attached and the Board is asked to confirm them as a correct record.

RESOLVED:

The Minutes of the previous meeting of the Board held on 27 June 2019 be confirmed as a correct record.

To note that the theme of the meeting is Healthy Ageing, one of the five themes within the Joint Health and Wellbeing Strategy.

The objectives of the theme are to:-

1.        Support older people to have good wellbeing and feel safe in their own homes.

2.        Support informal carers to continue to care and improve their health and wellbeing.

3.        Support older people to utilise and engage with their local communities.

4.        Support older people to manage and protect their health and wellbeing.

The Director of Public Health will give a presentation to introduce the theme.

The Chair thanked Board members present and those officers who had attended the meeting to make presentations to the Board on a number of aspects in relation to ageing.  She commented that whilst the Board was quorate, there was no representation from the Leicester City CCG, Leicester Partnership Trust or GPs and she felt that they had important roles to play in addressing healthy ageing. 

The Chair further commented that the Board was not simply an opportunity to share information, but it had an important strategic role to consider what all providers of health services were doing to address issues affecting aspects of health and what else should be done to improve outcomes for citizens relating to the issues considered.

As a number of key stakeholders on the Board were not present or represented at the meeting, the Chair felt that it would not be worthwhile for those present to receive the presentations as they would only need to be repeated to those not present in order for all key partners to discuss the issues raised.

The Chair asked officers to arrange another meeting as a matter of urgency and before the next scheduled meeting of the Board in November to enable the presentations to made all key stakeholders on the Board.

RESOLVED:

That consideration of the presentations intended for this meeting be deferred until a re-arranged meeting as suggested by the Chair above.

Mark Pierce, Senior Strategy and Implementation Manager, Leicester City Clinical Commissioning Group and Jeremey Bennett, Strategy and Implementation Manager, Leicester City Clinical Commissioning Group to give a presentation on an overview of multi-morbidity in Leicester.

Troy Young, Assistant Director, Age UK Leicester Shire and Rutland to give a presentation on the Loneliness Prescription Service.

Kate Galoppi, Head of Commissioning, Social Care and Education, Leicester City Council and Ruth Rigby, Programme Lead, Leicester Ageing Together to give a presentation on a 12-month pilot that is taking place in 2 parts of the City using a community connector model, and utilising Social Value to connect isolated or lonely adults to activities and support within their communities.
