INTRODUCTION The purpose of this report is to brief elected members and request that they as a partner organisation endorse the above document, after which all partners within Argyll & Clyde Health Board can move into the launch of the Strategy and implementation phase of the recommendations. * 2. RECOMMENDATIONS 2.1 That the Council approve the New for Old Strategy and their part therein. 3. BACKGROUND 3.1 There are various documents and strategic plans for older people’s services in existence within Argyll and Clyde, but no all encompassing, multi agency strategy detailing how agencies are working together to make sure the improvements identified in local plans were actually being achieved. 3.2 In recognition of this, in early 2000, Argyll & Clyde Health Board began project managing the development of an inter agencyhtegrated strategy in partnership with representatives from: Argyll and Bute Council * e Argyll and Clyde Acute Hospitals NHS Trust Argyll and Clyde Health Board Argyll and Clyde Health Council e East Renfrewshire Council Inverclyde Council e Lomond and Argyll Primary Care NHS Trust Renfrewshire Council Renfrewshire and Inverclyde Primary Care NHS Trust e Strathclyde Elderly Forum e West Dunbartonshire Council Comm Keporr - New for Old - 26.i I .O I 38 4. PURPOSE 4.1 The purpose of the strategy group ( Appendix 1) was to review current services for Older People within Argyll and Clyde, with particular reference to the Joint Community Care Plans, and to bring forward recommendations as to how services could be developed for the future. 4.2 The group ensured that such recommendations were within the context of focusing on the needs of the individual, differing local needs (e.g. by Council area), reflected current thinking and best practice and took account of impending legislation. Developments would be within the context of joint commissioning. 4.3 Argyll and Clyde NHS Board approved the strategy “New for Old” on 25thApril 2001 - As soon as all organisations have been in touch with an anticipated sign-off date, the joint launch of the document will be identified. As part of the strategy development process and through a Public Involvement Group, a Council wide public involvement exercise was organised. Over 300 community groups and e older person’s interested groups within Argyll and Clyde were contacted, who worked in partnership with Foxtrot Theatre Company to help gain older people’s views as to how services should be improved. 5. CONCLUSION 5.1 The fmal draft of the strategy document has been prepared and a copy forwarded to each of the Trust and Council Chief Executives, requesting them to make arrangements for signing up to the strategy by their respective organisations. 5.2 The document is intended to be a generic working tool for the whole of Argyll and Clyde area with each Council identifying and working to their relevant issues in tandem with the core recommendations. (Appendix 2). To assist with planning the launch and final publication of the strategy document, 5.3 all partners are requested to confirm their approval with the Health Board Director of Priority Services and Joint Planning by providing the following @ information: Anticipated date of discussion and approval of the strategy Contact name for assistance with planning the joint launch. 6.

Innovative community based models of care should be jointly developed and provided by agencies to ensure people in rural areas have access to the full range of services. An Inter- agency action plan should be developed to address transport problems within Argyll & Bute, The right of older people to remain in their own communities must be given a higher priority than the increased costs of providing care in isolated locations i.e. care based on needs, not resources. Work with partners and older people in Helensburgh and Lomond to develop more choice in services. Publicise the available services/choices more effectively. Inter- agency support to people in their own homes must be strengthened. Work should be undertaken to ensure people in an island or rural setting are more Eully informed of the services available to them. Work should be undertaken by all partners to hghlight any particular gaps in services for older people in an island or rural setting, and work towards addressing these. 5 Comm Report -New for Old - 26.1 1.01 .

SUMMARY OF KEY FINDINGS The term ‘Needs Assessment’ is often used synonymously with the term ‘Health Needs Assessment,’ to mean an assessment of need based on the health status of the population. For the purposes of this report, we are accepting a broad definition of ‘health needs’ to include those needs that are amenable to both clinical (NHS) and non-clinical (socioeconomic) interventions, in keeping with the ‘wider determinants of health’ theme of the report. This assessment of the health needs of West Dunbartonshire residents emphasises the importance of poverty and disadvantage in the creation of poor health. The key findings of high levels of health damaging behaviour and chronic diseases emphasise the need for effective community and primary care health improvement services.

  • Shaping the Future the Clinical Strategy for NHS Argyll & Clyde
    Shaping the Future The Clinical Strategy for NHS Argyll & Clyde Paper for Public Consultation 14 June – 17 September 2004 NHS Argyll & Clyde Consultation paper 2 NHS Argyll & Clyde Consultation document Executive Summary 1. This document contains proposals for the future provision of health services for the people of Argyll and Clyde. It is based on a set of seven key principles – safety, sustainability, quality, affordability, integration, access and timeliness. 2. A clear plan for health services in NHS Argyll & Clyde is necessary to help tackle both the pressures that health services across Scotland and the UK are experiencing generally and those that apply to the particular circumstances of Argyll and Clyde. These pressures mean that we are unable to sustain the current way in which we provide health services in Argyll and Clyde. If we do not address these pressures effectively, there is a real danger that services will fail and that a poorer quality of service with much diminished access will result. 3. As part of this process of developing a clear plan for the future, we have talked with, and listened to, a great many people from across Argyll and Clyde. These have included patients, carers, people in local communities, our partners and our staff. The proposals contained in this consultation paper are based on these discussions and on the work that took place in the many workshops and meetings across Argyll and Clyde over a period of eight months. We have also looked carefully at professional standards and advice and taken these into account in our proposals.
