CG 19/17 Questions from members of the public 6 DM advised that there were no questions submitted by members of the public prior to the meeting. CG 20/17 CURRENT PRIORITIES CG 20.1/17 Sustainability and Transformation Plan (STP) 7 The STP slides were taken as read. 8 JC advised that the STP has recently changed to Sustainability and Transformation Partnership from Sustainability and Transformation Plan. There are a significant number of organisations working together in partnership to make system improvements. 9 There is a STP work stream for mental health, SA is the Senior Responsible Officer and JC is working as a Commissioner. There is a 17 week project underway to review mental health across Sussex and East Surrey. There will be a significant overlap with the STP and the Trust’s Clinical Strategy. 10 PDS asked how this will be different and what it is going to achieve. JC advised that this is a unique opportunity for all organisations to work together, mental health is being recognised as a priority, which hasn’t happened before. SA added that it is a time consuming process, however feels it is worthwhile, and it is a real opportunity for the Trust to engage with partners and create shared priorities across 23 organisations. We are currently in the process of pulling data together, a delivery Page 2 of 11 plan with a clear set of priorities and outcomes will be brought to the Council of Governors in October. 11 Action: An update on STP to be brought to the October Council of Governors, to include the delivery plan with a clear set of priorities and outcomes AD felt that the communication of what is taking place needs to improve, as at the 12 moment people don’t know the time line and when they should start seeing the outcomes. AD is also concerned around funding. 13 CQ wished to understand the vision and what is expected to be different for patients in 5 years’ time. SH felt that this is a prime opportunity for mental health to have a voice in every sector and we should see great change. KB highlighted the importance of the relationship between the patient and GP. LP advised that she represents service users in the STP and Clinical Strategy, and there has been a lot of service user engagement across the Trust. The STP is looking at putting more services in the community. Mental health training is also starting to be delivered in A&E units, and more partnership linking is starting to happen. There are positives taking place that haven’t been seen before. JC recognised that communication across STP hasn’t been good; however a lot of 14 attention is going in to how we now get this right. Regarding finance, there is a plan in place for the STP process to bridge the gap; the £900m figure is the “do nothing differently” scenario. The STP process allows mental health to articulate the offer it will bring to the mental health system; it is about what mental health can do to support acute services in a better way. It will also give emphasis for great integrated care. 15 SA advised that from a Trust perspective, the biggest difference this time is the Clinical Strategy, it is currently on its second iteration and should be finalised by September. Regarding what will look differently in 5 years’ time, for example, if you have diabetes you will also have access to cognitive therapy. We will also see more peer support workers across the workforce, people in A&E will be trained in mental health and we will have open youth access services, along with many other positives. CG 20.2/17 Chief Executive’s Report 16 SA wished to highlight National Carers Week which took place the week commencing 12th June 2017during which a lot of positive work happened across the Trust over this period. The second Chief Executive Briefing is taking place on 19th 17 July; the focus will be on team development, health and wellbeing - which continues to be extremely important as services continue to operate under real pressure, and The introduction of our Freedom to Speak Up Guardian and the importance to continue promoting the cultural work encouraging staff to speak up.
