V DUNDEE INTEGRATION JOINT BOARD BUDGET 2018/2019

There was submitted Report No DIJB17-2018 by the Chief Finance Officer advising of the implications of the proposed delegated budget for 2018/19 from Dundee City Council and indicative budget from Tayside NHS Board and seeking approval for the range of interventions required to set a balanced budget for Dundee Health and Social Care Partnership for 2018/19.

Thereafter following discussion, Councillor Ken Lynn, seconded by Doug Cross, moved that the Integration Joint Board:-

(i) notes the implications of the proposed delegated budget to Dundee Health and Social Care Partnership from Dundee City Council and indicative delegated budget from Tayside NHS Board for 2018/19;

 

(ii) notes the implications of the change in the risk sharing agreement as set out within the Integration Scheme and referred to in paragraph 4.1.5 of the report;

(iii) formally adopts the prescribing budget subject to a number of caveats and notes the risks associated with this as set out in paragraph 4.3;

(iv) approves an uplift of 1% for 2018/19 to rolling contractual arrangements with the third sector for the provision of health and social care services as outlined in paragraph 4.9 in addition to required uplifts to implement the Scottish Living Wage and Sleepover payments at the Scottish Living Wage;

(v) approves the extension of service funded by the Integrated Care Fund from June 2018 to March 2019 as set out in paragraph 4.12 and Appendix 3 of the report;

(vi) approves the range of interventions set out in Appendixes 1 and 2 of the report in order to provide a balanced budget;

(x) instructs the Chief Finance Officer to progress the Transformation Efficiency Programme to the next stage in partnership with relevant stakeholders including Trade Union and Staff Side representatives; and

(xi) agrees that in future the Budget should be presented in a spreadsheet form showing income and expenditure for forthcoming and previous years to allow a much clearer understanding of the Integration Joint Boards Budget. Monitoring Reports should also follow this format.

 

As an amendment, Bailie Helen Wright, seconded by Jim McFarlane, moved that the Integration Joint Board further agrees to £941k from uncommitted reserves to address hospital re-admissions. The aim of this fund would be to address the issues that see too many individuals returning to hospital within 28 days of being discharged. This fund should also look to address the number of admissions caused by trips and falls.

This fund, linked to the availability of our Health & Social Care Workers whose time, if better managed, should help eliminate the service inefficiencies such as non-contact time and in turn help to save the cost of re-admissions.

On a division, there voted for the motion Councillor Ken Lynn, Doug Cross and Councillor Roisin Smith (3); and for the amendment Judith Golden and Bailie Helen Wright (2) Munwar Hussain declining to vote whereupon the motion was declared carried.

As a further amendment Bailie Wright, seconded by Munwar Hussain moved that the Integration Joint Board agree to instruct the Chief Finance Officer to bring back a Report as soon as possible confirming the level of uncommitted reserves at the year-end along with proposals to use these reserves to address hospital re-admissions. The aim of this fund would be to address the issues that see too many individuals returning to hospital within 28 days of being discharged. This fund should also look to address the number of admissions caused by trips and fails.

This fund, linked to the availability of our Health and Social Care Workers whose time, if better managed, should help to eliminate the service inefficiencies such as non-contact time and in turn help to save the cost of re-admissions.

On a division, there voted for the motion Counclllor Ken Lynn, Doug Cross and Councillor Roisin Smith (3); and for the amendment Judith Golden, Munwar Hussain and Bailie Helen Wright (3) there being no majority of votes in favour of the motion or the amendment, the motion, as originally carried, became the finding of the meeting.
