Minutes:
Chris West, Director of Nursing and Quality West Leicestershire and East Leicestershire and Rutland Clinical Commissioning Groups, and Elaine Egan Morris, CAMHS Manager/Future in Mind Transformation Programme Manager, gave a presentation on Transforming Mental Health and Wellbeing Services for Children and Young People across Leicester, Leicestershire and Rutland. A copy of the presentation had been circulated with the agenda.
It was noted that:-
The Deputy City Mayor for Children, Young People and Schools recognised that the initiative was for Leicester, Leicestershire and Rutland, but sought assurances that children and young people in the City would be able to actively participate in the evaluation and development of the service. In response, the CAMHS Manager/Future in Mind Transformation Programme Manager stated that young people in the City had been involved in the engagement process.
The Youth Development Worker commented that whilst Young People’s Council and Young People Advisors had been approached during the commissioning of young advisors in evaluating the programme and a possible role as mystery shoppers; there had been no agreement on the standards of involvement and costs. There was still and offer from LLR to make a presentation to the Young People’s Council; which was confirmed by the Director of Nursing and Quality, West Leicestershire and East Leicestershire and Rutland Clinical Commissioning Groups. The Director also commented that the process was not completed and she would liaise with the Youth Development Worker as it was not the intention to exclude anyone from the process. The Strategic Director of Children’s Services stated that this issue had already been raised in the previous week and it was intended to follow up the effective engagement of young people in the City through the Steering Group to ensure that they were involved in the process.
Members of the Board commented that collaborative working relied on being able to share information across different agencies and asked if the implications of the General Data Protection Regulations and the New Data Protection Legislation would affect this. The Director of Nursing and Quality confirmed that the all the recent focus had been to develop a model that everyone could support but acknowledged that this was inextricably linked to sharing information; so the implications of sharing information to comply with the new legislation would be addressed.
The Chair commented that sharing information and budget resources were often ‘blockers’ within the system and these two key areas would need to be revisited in the future.
