The funds will focus on two key areas: (a) prevention beyond secondary services for example place-based community prevention work targeting middle-aged men, self-harm and primary care support; and (b) reduction within services via quality improvement for example self- harm care within acute hospitals and within mental health services. • The Midwife Led Unit at Pontefract continues to provide ante-natal and post-natal care but remains closed for intrapartum care (births). The CCG has agreed with the Overview and Scrutiny Committee chair that this arrangement will remain in place for the time being while the Trust needs to focus its attention on managing the additional pressures associated with 2 the pandemic. Work is continuing to develop options based on feedback from previous public engagement and advice from the clinical senate. Proposals will be further developed over the summer and will be presented to the September Governing Body meeting. • The standard of care across all of Wakefield’s GP practices is now rated either ‘Good’ or ‘Outstanding’. The quality milestone is a first for the district and means that of Wakefield’s 37 practices, 35 are now rated ‘Good’ and two are ‘Outstanding’ following inspection by the Care Quality Commission. Work will continue with the Primary Care Networks to support and maintain the level of service. • Stephen Hardy, Governing Body Lay Member has agreed to take up the role of Freedom to Speak Up Guardian for the CCG. The appointment of a Freedom to Speak Up Guardian for the CCG will complement work that the CCG have been doing to promote a positive, values based culture including the launch in May 2020 of a Workplace Behaviour Ambassador (WBA) scheme. Positive behaviour is everyone’s responsibility and the WBAs will encourage staff to ensure that behaviour is in line with our organisational values and demonstrated throughout the organisation. • NHS England and Improvement’s Regional Commissioning Committee for North East and Yorkshire has met to consider the consultation feedback on specialised vascular services. The decision making committee has approved proposals to have two specialised vascular centres. These will be at Leeds General Infirmary and Bradford Royal Infirmary due to co- location with renal care. A decision has been taken to delay implementation while the system is prioritising its response to the Covid-19 situation. Dr Deborah Hallott commented that she was pleased to hear about the agreed funding in relation to reducing the numbers of suicide. Dr Hallott referred to the national conversations taking place to consider the impact of the pandemic and in particular reviewing evidence from other countries and how this could inform our future approach. It was RESOLVED that: (i) members noted the content for information and support on-going developments outlined in the content of the report 20/112 COVID response update Jonathan Webb presented this paper providing a summary of the organisational and system response to the current pandemic. There has been an outstanding level of collaboration involving all parts of the health and care system and organisations that make up the wider membership of the Health and Wellbeing Board to respond to the pandemic. It was noted that whilst the system has, at times, been extremely busy, at no point has any part been overwhelmed. 3 At the end of April 2020 the NHS Chief Executive, Simon Stevens, and NHS Chief Operating Officer Amanda Pritchard wrote to CCGs and providers outlining the next steps to be taken in the NHS response to Covid-19. The CCG has been working with system partners in the West Yorkshire Health and Care Partnership and the Wakefield Integrated Care Partnership to develop our local response. In West Yorkshire and Harrogate aspects of our service delivery have been transformed more in the last two months than in the last decade, resulting in a more modern, responsive and flexible model of delivering services to people. Work continues through phase two of the pandemic to ensure critical and urgent care services are in place. Discussions are underway to develop new pathways between primary care and secondary care accepting that the levels of activity will be reduced due to social distancing and requirements to maintain deep cleaning processes.
