To receive a report and presentation from Gina Lawrence, Director of Commissioning and Operations, Trafford Clinical Commissioning Group.

The Lead Commissioner/Consultant, Trafford Clinical Commissioning Group, Sandy Bering, submitted a report which provided an update on the current action plans required to be in place by Clinical Commissioning Groups and Local Authorities as a result of the recommendations from the Department of Health Report into Winterbourne View Private Hospital and nationally defined priorities in the NHS Mandate and ‘Everyone Counts’ Planning Guidance.

The Director of Commissioning from the NHS Trafford Clinical Commissioning Group also delivered a presentation which explained that the published government report into the events at Winterbourne View had set out a programme to change services so that vulnerable people no longer live inappropriately in hospitals and are cared for in line with best practice. In detailing actions and dates in the programme and outlining the current position in Trafford in relation to this, the Director indicated that Trafford Council and NHS Trafford were much more proactive than other areas when working with providers and checking care was appropriate and of a high quality; an approach which would be further strengthened through partnership working and transformational strategy.

RESOLVED: That the Health and Wellbeing Board receives and notes the progress update on the Winterbourne View Concordat and Review Report recommendations.
