Ron Jones Chair of HWG 30/9/16 4 MPC mins 4.10.16/Attachment no.2 PLACE BASED CARE in Moretonhampstead and North East Dartmoor PROPOSED WORKING GROUP to develop: Working name: “ONE MORETONHAMPSTEAD “ INTRODUCTION and CONTEXT As is well known the Health and Social Services throughout the Country are under great pressure. In Devon the “Success Regime “ is about to start consultation on proposed radical changes to service provision leading towards a “Sustainability and Transformation Plan “ for the whole County of Devon. The thrust of emerging plans is to reduce further the number of community hospital beds and lengths of stay in “acute “ hospitals such as the RD&E – which in turn will place a greater emphasis on Care being delivered in or closer to home ( i.e. in communities ). In anticipation of these developments ( and against the background of the lack of progress made in progressing a Moretonhampstead and district Health and Social Care hub ) the Parish Council and Clinical Commissioning Group ( CCG ) jointly convened an Event for stakeholders on Tuesday 13 September 2016 – see annexe 1 for summary outcomes Gemma to add please – which by a large majority voted to move forward with a system of Place Based Care to be developed and managed by a Working Group, the subject of this paper.
