Questions from Members of the Public There were no questions received from the Public. 7. Patient Story The Governing Body received a video which featured Denise who had to access health services during the pandemic in support of several health conditions. Denise utilised an online booking system to make appointments with her GP, Advance Nurse Practitioner and Pharmacist which were conducted via the telephone and found this to be very useful as it reduced the frustration of continuous calls to the surgery. On one occasion the GP needed visual access to a particular condition. Denise was sent a link on her mobile phone and asked 2 to upload a photograph to the link and was very surprised at how easy the process was. A hospital referral to dermatology was made. Denise has diabetes which requires annual health checks. Although initially apprehensive, her appointment was conducted face to face where her feet, weight, blood tests and the flu vaccine were undertaken. The blood test required repeating which was done at the Keepmoat Stadium drive through and took only minutes to do. Denise felt this was a very good system and hoped that it will continue going forward. Denise has received both her COVID-19 vaccinations and was advised by a friend to download the NHS App, which she was unaware of, as they are recorded on it along with other relevant information. Although Denise found the online services hugely beneficial and was satisfied and grateful for the services she has received over the last year, she is aware that there may be some people who do not have access to smartphones or may struggle with the technological aspects. A Fitzgerald commented that Denise’s story is particularly topical as clinicians are aware of the increase and demand currently being experienced to access General Practice and we are exploring different models across the Primary Care Networks (PCNs) to help alleviate the issue. S Whittle queried if all Doncaster residents have access to all their health record on the NHS App or if it related just to the COVID-19 vaccinations. Dr Crichton advised that the App can be downloaded by individuals following a verification process and contains a basic medical record. A secondary process via your registered practice enables further detailed information. S Whittle acknowledged that telephone access to GPs may save time for patients and asked if this was the case for GPs. Dr Pieri felt that it doubled the time with a patients for GPs as some may require a further face to face appointment following. Dr Kolusu highlighted that during telephone consultations, GPs could potentially miss visual clues to a patient’s wellbeing such as body language. If his patients need a face-to-face appointment the practice has a designated COVID safe area for the consultations which is sanitised after each patient. Dr Crichton thanked J Telford for attending the Governing Body. He commented that the patient story summary slide was very useful and recommended that they be used for each meeting going forward. 8. 2021/2022 Governing Body Tenures L Devanney explained that there are two Governing Body tenures due to cease during 2021/22 as follows: • Secondary Care Doctor – due to cease 30 September 2021 • Lay Member for Primary Care – due to cease 28 February 2022 3 Considering the changes anticipated from April 2021, having a stable and consistent Governing Body during the transition period would be a benefit to the CCG not just from a leadership perspective but also in terms of capacity and skill mix of the Governing Body. It was proposed at the Remuneration Committee meeting on 27 May 2021 that the existing contracts of the above posts be extended to 31 March 2022 in line with recent NHS England guidance. The Governing Body was asked to approve the recommendation from Remuneration Committee to extend the two existing posts to 31 March 2022 for the: • Secondary Care Doctor • Lay Member for Primary Care Dr Crichton advised the Governing Body that he had attended the Remuneration Committee meeting where the proposal to extend the tenures was unanimously recommended to the Governing Body for approval. The Governing Body approved the extension of the following posts to 31 March 2022: • Secondary Care Doctor • Lay Member for Primary Care 9. Quality and Performance Report A Fitzgerald presented the Quality & Performance Report for noting by the Governing Body. The format of the Report has been changed to reflect the Operating Planning Guidance and the following priorities for 2021/2022: • Supporting the health and wellbeing of staff and taking action on recruitment and retention. • Delivering the NHS COVID vaccination programme and continuing to meet the needs of patients with COVID-19. • Building on what we have learned during the pandemic to transform the delivery of services, accelerate the restoration of elective and cancer care and manage the increasing demand on mental health services. • Expanding primary care capacity to improve access, local health outcomes and address health inequalities.
