VI DUNDEE MENTAL HEALTH AND WELLBEING STRATEGIC PLAN 2019/2024

 

There was submitted Report No DIJB44-2019 by the Chief Officer providing a briefing on the consultation about the draft Dundee Mental Health and Wellbeing Strategic Plan and seeking approval to publish and implement the final version of the Plan which was attached to the report as an Appendix.

The Integration Joint Board agreed:-

(i) to note the outcome of the consultation undertaken about the draft Dundee Mental Health and Wellbeing Strategic Plan (the Strategic Plan) as outlined in Sections 4.2.1‑4.2.6 of the report;

 

(ii) to approve the publication of the revised Strategic Plan, which was attached to the report as Appendix 1, by 1st September 2019 on the Dundee Health and Social Care Partnership website;

 

(iii) to approve the financial framework embedded within the Strategic Plan as outlined at pages 11 to 13 of the Strategic Plan;

 

(iv) to approve the accompanying Dundee Mental Health and Wellbeing Commissioning Framework (2019/2024) which was attached to the report as Appendix 2;

 

(v) to instruct the Chief Officer to present a 6 monthly performance report to the Integrated Strategic Planning Group that incorporated all priority areas for improvement, as set by both Dundee Mental Health and Wellbeing Strategic and Commissioning Group and Tayside Mental Health Alliance; and

(vi) that having heard Raymond Marshall, to note the content of the Statement from Trade Unions and Professional Organisations within the Area Partnership Forum as follows:-

 

The Area Partnership Forum acknowledges the work so far in identifying the service needs of Dundee regarding Mental Health and Learning Disabilities as delegated under the Integration Scheme and also the engagement with User Groups.

 

Given the complexity and broad range of service delivered across the whole of the population of Tayside we do not feel that there is enough assurance within this report that there is a whole system approach. This would include all services in Tayside across all other Health and Social Care Partnership and Hosted In-Patient Services.

 

Although the document mentions the Mental Health Alliance, this is in its infancy and has only met a couple of times which again does not give the confidence needed.

 

In regards to the Dundee Mental Health and Wellbeing Strategic and Commissioning Group this does not meet the Staff Governance Standards in relation to inclusion of staff at all levels in decisions which affect them.

 

The Staffside are raising their concerns not only with yourselves but also with the Perth and Kinross Health and Social Care Partnership and also directly with Ms Jeane Freeman MSP, Cabinet Secretary for Health and Sport;

 

(vii) that the Chief Officer be remitted to invite the former Commissioners of the Dundee Fairness Commission who presented their recommendations that came out of the research into mental health at the meeting of the Integration Joint Board held on 26th June, 2019 to a meeting of this Integration Joint Board to be held in a year's time to give an update on the position in relation to their findings; and

 

(viii) to note that in relation to the content of the report that reference may also be made to the Transforming Psychological Trauma publication and the annual report on the current implementation of Realistic Medicine in Scotland.

 

VII FINANCIAL MONITORING POSITION AS AT JUNE 2019

There was submitted Report No DIJB42-2019 by the Chief Finance Officer providing an update of the projected financial monitoring position for delegated health and social care services for 2019/2020.

The Integration Joint Board agreed:-

(i) to note the content of the report including the overall projected financial position for delegated services to the 2019/2020 financial year end as at 30th June, 2019 as outlined in Appendices 1, 2 and 3 of the report; and

 

(ii) to note that officers within the Health and Social Care Partnership would assess a number of actions required to effect a recovery plan which would be reflected in the August financial monitoring report to be presented at the meeting of this Integration Joint Board to be held on 29th October, 2019 as outlined in section 4.7.1 of the report.

 

VIII THE USE OF ELIGIBILITY CRITERIA TO MAXIMISE AVAILABLE RESOURCES

The report confirmed the rationale for applying national eligibility criteria and provided information on the five categories of need that were used to prioritise the provision of service for individuals following assessment. The report also described the approach taken to maximise the use of available resources to the Partnership.

(v) to note the intention to review the criteria for the delivery of integrated health and social care services alongside service redesign and implementation as detailed in section 4.4.3 of the report.

XII PUBLICATION OF ANNUAL PERFORMANCE INFORMATION ANNUAL PERFORMANCE REPORT AND DRAFT ANNUAL ACCOUNTS

Reference was made to Articles VIII and XI of the minute of meeting of this Integration Joint Board of 25th June, 2019 wherein the Partnerships Annual Performance Report and Draft Annual Accounts 2018/19 were approved for publication.

There was submitted Agenda Note DIJB43-2019 reporting that, following publication, statistical advice was issued by National Services Scotland, Information Services Division (NSS, ISD) to all Integration Joint Boards in respect of the quality of data submissions from NHS Boards for the period January to March 2019 in terms of data completeness. NSS, ISD advised Integration Joint Boards that in relation to inclusion of Scotland level figures and benchmarking information for National Health and Wellbeing Indicators 12 (emergency admissions), 13 (emergency bed days), 14 (readmissions), 16 (falls) and 20 (% of resources spent on hospital stays resulting from emergency admissions) in Annual Performance Reports figures should be presented up to 31st December, 2018 (end of Quarter 3). Furthermore NSS, ISD advised that benchmarking figures for these indicators as at 31st March, 2019 (end of Quarter 4) would give an impression of benchmarked performance that was not reliable and that headline Scotland level figures should not be published if NSS, ISD has not already published equivalent national statistics (in compliance with the UK Code of Practice for Statistics). Consequently the Partnerships annual performance report was amended prior to publication in relation to indicators 12, 13, 14, 16 and 20 to include:-

- Dundee level data to 31st March, 2019 (end of Quarter 4); and

- Benchmarking data that provided a comparison with performance at Scotland level and other Partnerships as at 31st December, 2018 (end of Quarter 3) (with the exception of indicator 20 where benchmarking data was not available and therefore had not been included).

The Integration Joint Board agreed:-

(i) to note that the change in information published did not materially impact on the performance review of the Integration Joint Board and that the revised version could be accessed through the partnership website;

(ii) to note that at the point at which NSS, ISD published end of year data for these indicators the Annual Performance Report would be amended and a replacement version uploaded to the Partnership website; and

(iii) to note that In addition, the Draft Annual Accounts included an extract of performance information as set out in the Annual Performance Report and that this document had also now been updated accordingly and could be accessed through the partnership website.
