INTRODUCTION 1. COMMUNITY PLANNING IN EAST AYRSHIRE: ‘ONE COUNCIL, ONE PLAN’ Our Vision: East Ayrshire will be a place with strong, vibrant communities where everyone has a good quality of life and access to opportunities, choices and high quality services which are sustainable, accessible and meet people’s needs. 1.1 The East Ayrshire Community Plan is recognised by all Community Planning Partners as the sovereign strategic planning document for the delivery of public services in East Ayrshire. The Plan covers 12 years from 2003 to 2015 and sets out the overall vision for the local area. It articulates clearly that Partners are committed to achieving – “high quality services which are sustainable, accessible and meet people’s needs”. Recognising the principle of „One Council, One Plan‟, the Council has adopted the Community Plan as its Corporate Plan. 1.2 Consequently, East Ayrshire Council and its Planning Partners took a collective view from the outset, and one year before the requirement to do so, that a Community Planning Partnership Single Outcome Agreement (SOA) would be developed for the local area, covering the three-year period from 1 April 2008 to 31 March 2011, which was approved by John Swinney, MSP and Cabinet Secretary for Finance and Sustainable Growth, on behalf of the Scottish Government, on 2 July 2008. 1.3 In taking forward our commitment to review our SOA on an annual basis, following endorsement by all Community Planning Partners our updated SOA was approved by the Scottish Government on 16 July 2009, with overall sign off completed by Stewart Stevenson, Minister for Transport, Infrastructure and Climate Change, on 23 July 2009. 1.4 The SOA builds on and strengthens the strategic priorities articulated in the Community Plan and is regarded as a robust management tool, which will ensure a more streamlined approach to external scrutiny and effective performance management and reporting. In addition, our SOA ensures that Community Planning Partners and the Scottish Government are working closer together to deliver better services, outcomes and quality of life for local people across the East Ayrshire area. 1.5 To streamline annual reporting in respect of the Community Plan Action Plans and the SOA, and avoid duplication of activity, at its meeting on 18 March 2010 the Community Planning Partnership (CPP) Board agreed that reporting for the period 1 April 2009 to 31 March 2010 be aligned, with a consolidated Community Planning/SOA performance report submitted to the CPP Board in September 2010. 1.6 Our consolidated Community Planning/SOA Annual Performance Report 2009/10 ensures a comprehensive report on achievement of outcomes back to the CPP Board, the Council, the Scottish Government and the wider community as part of our commitment to public performance reporting. 1.7 In addition, as part of the Four-yearly Review of Community Planning being progressed throughout 2010/11, the opportunity will be taken to look at areas to further align and streamline Community Planning reporting arrangements. 4 2. SOA IMPROVEMENT PLAN 2009/10 2. SOA ANNUAL REPORT 2008/09 - IMPROVEMENT PLAN 2.1 In response to the progress made in 2008/09, the CPP Board at its meeting of 26 November 2009 considered and agreed the areas identified for improvement within the SOA Annual Performance Report 2008/09, which would require to be addressed and taken forward either solely by individual agencies or on a partnership basis. This consideration formed the basis of an SOA Improvement Plan for 2009/10. 2.2 Areas identified for improvement included the following: Business start up rate; Better employment opportunities for local people; Educational and skills capacity of the local workforce, in particular our young people; Health and well being of the local population, including the Alcohol and Drugs agenda; Tackling poverty and disadvantage; and Fear of crime. 2.3 In this regard, a range of activity has been progressed during the course of the year to facilitate the achievement of local outcomes, examples of which have been demonstrated throughout this report, and actions taken forward in the SOA Improvement Plan are routinely reported to the CPP Board. 2.4 Where appropriate, actions will be identified in respect of areas for improvement in the Community Planning/SOA Annual Performance Report 2009/10 and remedial action taken forward, which it is anticipated will facilitate the achievement of the local outcomes in our three year SOA by March 2011. 3. PARTNERSHIP WORKING 3. ONGOING COMMITMENT TO PARTNERSHIP WORKING 3.1 The overarching Community Plan continues to provide the foundation for effective partnership working in East Ayrshire and allows us to provide a range of quality services for local people. Within the framework of Community Planning, the SOA approach provides further opportunities for Planning Partners to ensure maximum benefit for service users and achievement of better outcomes for local communities. 3.2 The findings of the Accounts Commission in the East Ayrshire Council Best Value 2 Pathfinder Audit, published on 1 April 2010, highlight that: “Services in East Ayrshire are performing well overall and partnership working within the Council area is highly effective”. 3.3 Work continues to be taken forward to strengthen relationships at a local level between all relevant partners, including a range of partner agencies and the community and voluntary sectors. 5 Future Developments: Enhanced Partnership Working 3.4 The Chief Officers‟ Seminar of 19 January 2010 initiated the Community Plan Four- yearly Review and provided the opportunity to consider the challenges presented to the CPP and individual organisations by the wider economy, and reflect on the way forward, particularly in relation to how enhanced partnership working could help address these challenges. 3.5 In respect of the shared strategic agenda, it was agreed that the CPP requires to drive cultural change and ensure that all Partners sign up to agreed strategic priorities and deliver on them operationally. 3.6 In addition, it was agreed that there is a clear role for the CPP in critically scrutinising spend across all Partners‟ mainstream budgets and ensuring that we maximise spend from existing resources. 3.7 Subsequently, at its meeting of 24 June 2010, the CPP Board agreed the Strategic Priorities and associated Local Outcomes for 2011-2015, which established the shared strategic agenda. 3.8 In this context, it is important that, as part of our budget setting processes, the potential risk and negative impact of individual Partner decisions on partnership activity and local service delivery should be considered, taking account of issues of governance and risk management. 3.9 Consequently, as Partners, we require to consider a mechanism/systematic process for stakeholders to consider and discuss the impact of funding decisions on other partners and future Community Planning activity. In this regard, work will be taken forward in 2010/11. 4. COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT 4. SYSTEMATIC COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT 4.1 Effective and systematic engagement of communities lies at the heart of the Community Planning process in East Ayrshire and a wide range of community involvement has facilitated the ongoing development and implementation of our Community Plan, Action Plans and SOA as follows: Federations of Community Groups: Comprising representation from communities across East Ayrshire, the Federations of Community Groups ensure that the views of communities are represented in strategic planning and decision making. Each of the two Federations is represented on the CPP Board.

Community planning puts local people at the heart of delivering services. It is not just about creating a plan or a vision but about jointly tackling major issues such as health, transport, employment, housing, education and community safety. These issues need a shared response from, and the full involvement of, not only public sector agencies but also local businesses, voluntary organisations and especially local people. The community planning partners in East Ayrshire are committed to working together to make a real difference to the lives of all people in the area. We have already achieved a lot through joint working, but we still need to do a lot more to make sure that everybody has a good quality of life. Together, those who deliver services and those who live in our communities will build on our early success and on existing partnerships and strategies to create a shared understanding of the future for East Ayrshire.

  • NHS Ayrshire and Arran Redesign of Urgent Care Pathfinder Programme
    NHS Ayrshire and Arran Redesign of Urgent Care Pathfinder Programme Rapid External Review 29 November 2020 NHS Ayrshire and Arran: Redesign of Urgent Care Pathfinder Programme Rapid External Review Purpose To provide a rapid external review (the Review) of the implementation of the Redesign of the NHS Ayrshire and Arran (A&A) Urgent Care Programme Pathfinder site to inform decisions on the national roll-out, anticipated start date: 1 December 2020. The key focus of the Review has been on monitoring preliminary issues and impacts of this transformational redesign across all care sectors within NHS A&A, which seeks to help inform and advise on early learning to be shared throughout Scotland. Background The Redesign of Urgent Care (RUC) programme seeks to promote significant transformational change in how optimal urgent care can be delivered for the people of Scotland. The programme offers a number of potential benefits in modernising our wider urgent care (unscheduled care) pathways, but also carries implementation risks, which need to be recognised, addressed and mitigated. It is acknowledged that not all Boards were in the same state of readiness as NHS A&A to undertake urgent care reform. Initial issues reported and considered by the Redesign of Urgent Care Strategic Advisory Board (chaired by Calum Campbell, Chief Executive NHS Lothian and Angiolina Foster, Chief Executive NHS 24), include: sustainability of local GP Out of Hours (OOH) services, Covid-19 hubs and clinical assessment centres (CACs). The potential longer-term impact of changing public access and use of urgent care services within in-hours periods may impact on increased service demand for NHS 24.
