1.WELCOME & APOLOGIES FOR ABSENCE
The Chair welcomed members to the meeting and apologies were noted.
2. DECLARATION OF INTEREST
No Declarations of Interest were noted.
3. MINUTES OF THE LAST MEETING & REVIEW OF ACTION LOG 05.07.16
The Minutes of the last meeting were accepted as an accurate record of the previous meeting and all actions noted as completed/agenda items.
4. DEVOLUTION UPDATE
Two documents were tabled for information:- o GM STP – ‘Key Documentation Supporting the 30 June Submission’ o ‘Brief for SPT Submission’ (presentation) Provides an update on progress, evidence and background data. Noted interviews have taken place for Chief Operating Officer, Investment & Finance & Quality and announcement is expected in the near future. The remaining 2 posts, Strategy & System Development and Population Health/Commissioning will be interviewed in September.
Comments It was understood that the 44 STPs had been grouped into cohorts. GM Devolution was predicated on the premise of improving health of GM population. AGG need to consider a clear vision for GM in 5 years’ time, noting most significant impact will originate from theme 1- Public Health to drive this. Early Years Strategy prioritised through SPB needs to be recognised in locality plans.
ACTION: RB to send the 2 documents electronically
5. TRANSFORMATION FUND INDEPENDENT EVALUATION, TFOG RECOMMENDATIONS & NEXT STEPS Feedback from First Wave submissions SPBE decisions
Stockport Process – it seemed at the time it took quite a while to take a decision but on reflection only 3 months and probably because we were moving from Vanguard to transformation. The proposers were not included in the assessment so felt consultant heavy process. Activity & finance difficult but positive process – challenged and gaps so the process to sharpen our case and position – tested whether we have a single view and plan. Our proposal was understood so was reassuring. SPBE felt strange and not sure of each role in the room. Communications of decisions and having it streamlined would be helpful. Salford Finance and Activity – if you are not fully aligned that will be first hurdle, time consuming.

(Item 3) AD APPROVED AGG MINUTES OF 19.7.16
Positive support from Delloittes and New Economy teams on technicalities and form filling. Lessons learnt – were we ambitious enough. Pressed to do detailed milestones and deliverables – being asked for the detail which will form part of the investment agreement Process – quite lengthy, first wave need to learn and share the process to support and improve the process for others.
Tameside & Glossop New and complicated process - Not gone through whole process – learning on both sides.
Manchester Transformation Fund process did not easily fit with the Manchester submissions as in phasing – first Single Hospital Service not a locality plan. Investment agreement – detailed milestones still needs more work. Part 2 to be submitted in September. Offered and interim amount of money to support this process. Process lengthy & complex. Requires very detailed business case and 3:1 difficult to demonstrate which a similar issues across all submission and accepted as not being a set in stone criteria.
COMMENTS Evaluator comments are helpful for others Investment support - potential for setting precedent for setting different criteria. Return on investment – too hard milestone consultants recognised that. Manchester 2nd submission – need to understand what documentation is required and understand the rules of the game. Some core documentation that is required for submission is a judgemental call. Need a core checklist – will take that back to the team. Core support of 10 days available all that had accessed agreed this was vital to the process. TFOG – our representatives reported that not all comments about the proposals had been reflected in the final report. Clarity on core data set that needs to be submitted
ACTION: Development of core documentation guidance/check list for submissions - RB Ensure localities are receiving appropriate support from Deloittes/New Economy – RB Feedback that some comments were not included in the final report – RB
6. GMCA 2ND CONSULTATION ON PROPOSED DEVOLUTION POWERS
GMCA consultation on proposed powers a number of areas under consideration:- o Fire and Rescue Services o Waste Disposal o Education, skills and Employment Support o Transport o Planning o Overview and Scrutiny o Equalities o Overview & scrutiny committees Need members to consider even though not directly linked to health

Contracting & Pricing Presentation by Simon Worthington re: different contracting arrangements in Bolton. Presentation also shared with CSG 0 opportunity for shared learning for considering different contract options next year.
Urgent & Emergency Care Taskforce set up - How we assure ourselves, GM and the wider system. How we respond as a system so we manage within GM rather than national intervention. SL leading on assurance – performance meeting with NHSE. Next OMT will report on the progress following the ‘lock in’ session.
Manchester Single Hospital Service H&WBB Friday re the formal FT merger. Merger CMFT and UHSM is huge undertaking which will probably occur over a 5 year period. NMGH will then need to be aligned. Will implement single commissioning board – for discussion later this week Stabilisation at PAT critical over next 3-4 months.
HT & Standardising Acute Hospital Care (Theme 3): Theme 3 steering group meeting last week – AH and SL – went well but no specific feedback Theme 3 CCG paper JCB received and approved.

8. AOB
8.1 Independent Chair of the GM Cancer System Board Chris Duffy read out the email received from Adrian Hackney with request that AGG approve HS nomination for the newly established Cancer System Board or suggest alternative. All agreed given background makes sense. Noted that HS has accepted a non-Executive Director role at SRFT - Provider Federation Board will be sought opinion. Cancer Board – NG to progress nomination through next Cancer Board.
8.2 HT Joint Committee North Derbyshire plans would it be useful to know if their plans impact on us. HT providing services for patients that come into GM but very few GM patients using services outside of GM unless highly specialised. Theme 3 if we propose changes then duties will apply around consultation and involvement.
8.3 Assurance Meeting Piece of work looking at composition of H&WBBs. Paper gone to AGMA for approval. RB will find out where paper up to in the system.
8.4 Outgoing Chair – Hamish Stedman As this was the last meeting that HS will chair the AGG, members thanked him for his enormous contribution to the formation and development of the AGG.

4. Devolution Update
• Development of core documentation guidance/check list for submissions – guidance on TFOG process has been issued to the system but is not a checklist of what should / should not be included within submissions. The H&SCP team did not want to dictate what should be included in support of submissions. • Support from Deloittes/New Economy – Core offer of support has been made available (also through PWC) with variable uptake. However, if any locality feels they have not received sufficient support to contact RB direct. • Feedback from AGG TFOG reps that comments were not included in the final report – It has been agreed that a review process is to be carried out on the first wave of submissions. RB is happy to take specific comments noting that the assessment process is under review
Comments/questions: • TFOG reps did not see great deal of difference to what went to SPBE • Noted cause for concern for the NE as sector there has to be consistency in terms of measurement and if there are inconsistencies based on external factors this affects a standard process • August SPB is a single agenda item focusing on Pennine Acute as requested by the Chair • Suggestion made that this is turned into an SPBE but accept that we need to have this discussion in the public domain. • RB will take back invitation to attend AGG to JR. • JR will give priority to performance, delivery and quality with an equal focus to that of Transformation. • SPBE focus will be on quality, performance and finance ACTION: • Transformation Fund Submissions – any locality requiring consultancy support to contact RB direct.

• Open invitation to JR to attend the AGG • KP to meet with JR when back form leave
5. JCB: Future Agenda Items
RB to use the AGG to support JCB planning this will ensure that the AGG forward plan is populated with JCB items as appropriate:- • Draft agenda for 2.9.16 was tabled • AH chaired the last JCBE noted there was a presentation from NICE regarding quality standards suggestion to invite to AGG • KP met has met with Steven Pleasant as Co- chair of the JCB a meeting to be set up with SP, KP and Jon Rouse – opportunity to review – important session • Primary Care Strategy already supported through AGG on the next JCB but a more simplified version which can be circulated • Specialised Commissioning; discussing the direction of travel, make sure NW Specialised Commissioning team are supportive • GL & RB meeting with Andy Bibby to discuss further arrangements then take through the JCB • Need to be clear on the risks of specialised commissioning being fully devolved and understand the 17-18 detail of finances, or assurances around fair share allocation. Need to be sure we push back if necessary otherwise would be huge financial risk. • Specialised Commissioning workshop tomorrow – highlighted financial risks. • GL confirmed very high risk no decisions will be made without AGG support • Joint commissioning updates to acknowledge work being progressed by MS and others at JCBE. Importantly building strong links with Health and Social Care system.
6. Adult Social Care Reform
Hazel Summers from ADASS attended and gave a presentation on Adult Social Care reform which has been sighted at SPB. This paper/presentation has been to the HoCs who were supportive in principles and agreed a need for closer working relationships in the future to ensure an integrated approach to commissioning and development of the LCOs. Also been discussed at the SPBE and the SPB with support.
Using a co- production approach engaging stakeholders across health and care in Greater Manchester the following eight business areas have been reviewed identifying key issues and improvement opportunities: • Moving to an asset based based model that draws on the whole range of personal, family and community resources to maximise independence and resilience; • Investing in primary, secondary and tertiary prevention to reduce the need for acute interventions and long term treatment; • Redefining the deal with the citizens so that contacts with services become self service and enable people to organise their own care and support, and ensure that assessments are common, trusted and portable across Greater Manchester; • Designing and commissioning a new model of care at home in partnership with service users, providers and investors; • Focusing residential and nursing care on those who can really benefit from it and creating centres of excellence in care that maximise independence and reduce the call for hospital admission; • Supporting Carers by creating a Greater Manchester offer to provide consistent advice and

FINAL AGG MINUTES OF 16.8.16
support to local and condition based career organisations and integrating all funding and support to Carers; • Working with employers, educational institutions and professional organisations to strengthen the recruitment, retention, skills and stability of the social care workforce; • Transforming services for people with learning disabilities to provide access to inclusive local services for people with complex needs.
COMMENTS • Tim Bryan, Bolton Council – presented at HoCs it was agreed that a HoC would align with each pillar and a HoC and an LA lead are to sit on each group. • Each locality needs a discussion on how to progress – in Health & Social Care settings. • Although an asset based approach will be a mix of local and GM level as appropriate • Discharge process – principles at GM level but for local determination. • High level strategic document being very clear can we standardise in some areas for GM and LA spend. Across GM cross benefit analysis has started on supporting people at home • Case for change is ambitious – huge agenda need to identify priorities such as nursing and residential care home – unified rates. • Stabilise social care workforce –need to be transformational in order to stabilise the workforce • GL – offered Chief Nurses time at Trafford – possibly HMR – due to ongoing issues • IT platform – true integration – primary care through Datawell and GM Connect. • If all care homes were set up with secure email discharges could be sent electronically and it is estimated that this would only require a small investment. • All supportive agreed a good piece of work which AGG supports and would like to be involved will supply names to support work.
ACTION: • Clinical support to be identified through AGG • GL to offer Chief Nurse capacity
7. Stay Well This Winter Campaign
• CFOs agreed to decline the request for a GM Campaign for 2016 • There is no additional money in the system and the campaign would duplicate what is happening and is too late • Generally supportive of wider comms but it is too late to do it this year • Request was seeking additional funding, choose well will stay in place as usual
ACTION: • Request for additional funding refused at this time
8. Dementia United
• Product developed through an outlined commissioning approach – Business Case • Update to JCB on 2.9.16 • Update been through HOCs, CFOs and dementia leads • Map of variation in the deployment of dementia services across England with a GM commitment to address that variation • Any comments welcome by the end of the week to AH.
Page 4 of 8
FINAL AGG MINUTES OF 16.8.16
COMMENTS • Support direction of travel demonstrates clearer engagement throughout the development • Pledges – support worker – need to ensure no confusion by having another layer of workers – avoid duplication • Needs to be able to deal with all the issues rather than have a duplicity of workers • Generally all supportive by AGG • Gap analysis is next step and need to consider the financial implications but should pay for itself through avoidable admissions. • We should be all committed to reducing variation – whether at GM or local level – this needs further agreement • Make sure we describe the standards that we are happy to deliver but in conjunction with an understanding of the financial implications.
AGG: • Supportive of the direction of travel
9. GM Connect – Data Sharing & Consent
Eric Applewhite provided a summary of the current position of GM-Connect including; the proposed governance structure for GM-Connect, opportunities for quick wins, ongoing foundational initiatives for the programme, barriers to the programme and future progression. As a programme that will engage with a wide range of public sector partners, it is important that the work of GM-Connect can feed into and align with the Health Domain more broadly and AGG stakeholders specifically.
• GM Connect is an organisation across GM whose role is to broker information exchange with a the wider remit across Health & Social Care • By 2020 there will be an estimated £2bn funding gap • If H&SC leaders have a more improved data sharing systems this would support would closing the gap to some extent. • Intended to be a trust brand to enable comfortable data sharing, making it a federated model for data sharing. • GM Connect investments made in scaffolding/foundation platforms – e.g. investing in GM info governance function then proceed to implement on behalf of partners. • Executive Steering Board chaired by the Mayor • Keen to get right reps for health – 15 or so members on the steering board looking for AGG guidance on this. • Leadership team – meet more frequently – offer for reps from AGG. • Quick wins – proving value throughout the process – 24 month pathway to demonstrate value and identify priorities, assessing every 6 months. • Standardised architect schema –procurement of light technology, capability based on federation borrowing data • On-line information sharing gateway portal – common place for info sharing agreements • There are a 1000 licences available, need to attend the training • GM connect would like endorsement from members. • Working well – GP engagement helping with this. • Victims and offenders – other work steam • EA of IM&T Steering group with Stuart north. Comments
Page 5 of 8
FINAL AGG MINUTES OF 16.8.16
• Need to tackle current legislation which is being summarised this will takes us a step forward. • Engaging with NHS digital – trying to do the right things externally and offer single GM voice • The whole system of information exchange could take18 months to develop so looking within the system for other capabilities. • EA advised he is currently exploring partners using existing systems present in the system. • One of the early initiatives is early years as its health, education and social care. • Areas where you want to share data but have found difficulty please inform EA
Need to have coherence of the all the various IM&T groups.
ACTION: • AGG membership on the GM Connect Governance Groups
10. Update on access to national Digital Transformation Funding
The paper provided describes the approach to access resource from Department of Health. • Draft letter to Department of Health and Health Minister regarding allocation of a substantial national resource in excess of £50m. A new conversation suggests this is now at £10m • High level of digital maturity – current offer to providers to invite bids; should treat as GM but appears Stockport and Salford allowed access to separate funding – all needs clarifying • All agreed a data sharing platform is required bringing all localities to state of readiness – how we are going to do that when there is less money available • Concern vanguards are given priority and that funding is directed to providers in some cases • Department of Health capital focus is on hospitals and need to seize opportunity to link in to upgrade CCG and Primary Care. SN we are moving to have a deal with the current contracts • IT leads – involves CCG, provider, LA reps agreed the process to go through IM&T Enabler Group (includes clinicians) – providers and CCG then up to FEG for financial considerations and then will cascade down to CFOs, providers and LA • When Letter when finalised will be circulated to members • Priorities – impact on localities – unclear on agreements - Datawell Workshop has been scheduled in September which is open to all interested parties. Encourage reps from each CCG to attend • Need to also understand the potential opportunity for the AHSN to an integrated record for research purposes – beneficial if achieved with same investment
ACTION: • SN to share finalised letter • Datawell workshop to ensure AGG attendance for clarification of role and function
11. Joint Commissioning Update
MS updated o the work being sponsored through the JCBEG:- • Paper builds on some work MS has been supporting, draft criteria to test decisions on what can potentially sit within the remit of the JCB. • Draft template that has been developed with decisions that meet the criteria. • SL suggested reviewing the governance, whether JCB is a joint committee but only if necessary. Any potential decisions must go through appropriate governance. • Final short list won’t go to JCB on 2.9.16 – for more discussion rather than decision.
Page 6 of 8
FINAL AGG MINUTES OF 16.8.16
• Since this paper was circulated expected responses from across the system but received no engagement from LA. 2 responses from PSR. Paper will look health dominated at the JCB. • Needs linking to social care paper – e.g. care homes. What sorts of decisions do we want to make and by when. • Previous item on Adult Social Care useful but they do not work in the same strategic way as health so will be an evolutionary process
ACTION: • All comments to MS by next Tuesday
