1. Welcome – Dan Attry welcomed the members and our guests before opening the meeting. 2. Apologies –Were received from Sarah Baig; Matthew Cox; Dinesh Patel; and Gurvinder Najran 3. Declarations of interest – There were no declarations of interest for this meeting. 4. CPDO Report – MD informed everyone they had moved to their new home and everyone was feeling a little disorientated and lost. Currently there is no fax machine but she will let everyone know once it’s installed. She then gave the report with the following highlights; a. HLP- MD announced that Arcade were launching on 17th April and would be our seventeenth HLP pharmacy. MD gave members details of the HLP services activity and highlighted a number were red in terms of delivery. This will have an impact on future service commissioning and MD had written to each contractor to highlight the deficiencies and possible consequences. Members highlighted that there were errors in the MUR reports as the figures reported to the PCT were two months behind. MD did not have time to process data for all the pharmacies. She also reported that she would be attending the CD Summit on Thursday as she had been offered a free place. WW commented that she should make sure they include a community pharmacist on any working group for new care pathways to ensure that it covers what can be done. There will be a few more pharmacies achieving the HLP status in the next few months. b. Public Health Conference – She had attended the most recent Public Health Conference. The focus is now on Outcomes and has 66 indicators with the same major killers e.g. Smoking¸ Alcohol, Obesity, Drugs and Hypertension. There was mention of Community Pharmacy a number of times during the day. MD attended sessions in the afternoon on Chlamydia, Smoking and Hepatitis C. The latter was the most interesting and MD is looking to pursue this further following an e-mail exchange. c. King Edwards College – MD is attending their Well being Day on 19th April 11-15.00 to present on Sexual Health. She currently has one supporter for the day and would like more help as they expect to be busy. VL provisionally volunteered pending getting locum cover. d. Health Start Vitamins – MD asked DA if he had been contacted by Sally about this. DA commented that the issues were around wholesaler dealer licences, which will be required. It is complex and specific as well as costly to acquire. WW referred MD to speak to Tania Cork as Nth Staffs were having similar issues. 5. Committee reports a. Enhanced Services – last meeting was 17th January b. Primary Care Development – The next meeting is Thursday 11th April. c. AMMC- The last meeting was 14th Feb and the report has been circulated d. PSC- The meeting was 19th March and we were unable to attend. e. Area Team – The name has changed to NHS England with a national code Q54. DA highlighted the recent activity in the past two weeks from Michelle Deenah giving the structure of the senior team. The communications will be via the NHS Networks website for forms and information. DA had reflected that contractors would need the exact e-mail address as a number of corporate companies do not allow use of search engines. Members should search for pharmacy information services on the site to locate the relevant material. Steve Cartwright has resigned as medical director and recruitment is underway for his replacement. Michelle Deenah and Brian Wallis are your main contacts for community pharmacy and she does respond to e-mails fairly promptly. 6. CCG commissioning – DA and WW indicated that we need to make contact with the CCG with a view to discussing what enhanced services they might agree to commission. MM raised a query about Minor Ailments in Sandwell and DA was able to confirm that B’ham is working on keeping it going for the next 6 months. John Nicholls is working with Yvonne Murphy to finalise the details. We have had very little contact with the CCG since our original meeting 15 months ago. At the PSNC regional meeting the point was raised that some areas were dealing with the CCG locality teams as a way of influencing commissioning. DA asked MD if she could get details of the GPs’ flu vaccination scheme this year to compare with previous years, as it appears that it has changed. WW reminded everyone about the differences between the DES and our local LES which covered more at risk groups of the population. 7. LLP & CIC –DA reminded everyone that he had only heard from two members of the sub group and went on to highlight the importance of getting the information gathered and a decision made for the business case to be taken forward to the contractors in order to protect their access to enhanced services. He commented on the fragmented services for smoking in Sandwell where they have three providers commissioned and pharmacy might get involved through sub contracting. This needs to be done by the May meeting so that a decision can be made. The LPC will only be responsible for putting forward the ideas but the body formed by the contractors would be responsible for winning contracts and managing the company.

8. Newsletter – In view of MC’s absence the committee recognised that the previous Newsletter should have been issued and it had not done so. DA agreed to have a word with MC about this in due course.

9. AOB- VL asked if Gurvinder Najran was joining the meeting. WW commented that he had been contacted and had given apologies through MD as he had not been able to contact the secretary. He will only be appointed until the end of 2013 when the new election process starts and a new independent gets appointed. WW said it would be important to recruit a suitable independent then and the committee have eight months to find someone. MM asked about EPSR2 but because WW had not received any information from the committee about missed CPs aligned to GP surgeries he had not been able to update things with Paresh Patel.
