To receive and if so determined, to approve as a correct record the Minutes of the meeting held on 22 January, 2016.

Members to give notice of any interest and the nature of that interest relating to any item on the agenda in accordance with the adopted Code of Conduct.

Interest was declared by Councillor Joanne Harding who is a Senior Manager at Self Help Services, a mental health crisis service which is commissioned in Trafford. Councillor Harding also declared a second interest, as she is now on the Board of Trustees for Trafford Carers.

Interest was declared by Councillor Mrs Judith Lloyd, who is a Trustee of Trafford Domestic Abuse Services.

The Chair of the Trafford Clinical Commissioning Group apologised for the circumstances which led to the adjournment of the meeting on 17 March, and assured the Board that processes were now in place to ensure similar situations would not arise in future.

To consider the Locality Plan

The Board were presented with Trafford’s Locality Plan for their endorsement. Board members recognised the considerable amount of work that had gone into creating the Plan, and welcomed the opportunity to formally endorse it. The Plan would now be submitted to the Greater Manchester Devolution Team pending the required endorsement by the Executive, and focus would move onto the Plan’s implementation.

Going forward, the Health and Wellbeing Board would receive quarterly reports on performance against the Locality Plan’s set targets. Work on formulating the performance indicators was ongoing, and Board members’ input on how these were built would be essential. A draft report providing more detail on the performance indicators would be brought to the meeting in April.

RESOLVED: That the Trafford Locality Plan be endorsed by the Board.

To receive a report of the Better Care Fund Programme.

The Board received a report of the Better Care Fund Programme providing an overview on the protection of the social care element of the Better Care Fund for Trafford.

It was noted that this report was specific to the 2015/16 Better Care Fund, and work was ongoing to improve the report format for 2016/17. A better understanding of high impact areas had provided a clearer understanding of the programme’s position, and this would be reflected in future reports. The new report would be brought to the Board’s next meeting in April.

RESOLVED: That the Health & Wellbeing Board approve the content of the report.
