NHS Clinical Commissioning Group PDF 851 KB Nicola Lester, Development Director, NHS Chiltern Clinical Commissioning Group Minutes: The Partnership received a presentation from Nicola Lester, Development Director for NHS Chiltern Clinical Commissioning Group. The presentation explained what the NHS Clinical Commissioning Group does and the changes to the NHS which took place earlier this year.
In the discussion after the presentation the following points were noted: – The Chiltern and Aylesbury Vale Clinical Commissioning Groups have been working closely with the Buckinghamshire Healthcare Trust since it had been put into special measures. They have been meeting on a monthly basis to discuss what the trust is doing and what actions need to be implemented. – Patients are able to choose where they can go for their care if private hospitals offer care at NHS tariffs. – Lack of public engagement is a hard thing to resolve. Different age groups tend to need different types of support for example young mothers with children tend to need instant support which CCCG try to offer by recently releasing a leaflet on how to manage the 5 most common childhood illnesses. – CCG will be starting a new campaign called Choose Well. The campaign aims to inform people of the alternative to A&E. This is to reduce the number of people who visit A&E because they can’t get an appointment time that suits them, or they find it easier than going to the GP. – Every locality in Bucks (Wycombe, Amersham & Chesham, Wooburn Green and Southern) commissioned its provider for 111 advise line not the CCG. The contract for 111 helpline and out of hour’s service and minor injury units are being re-tendered out together. – The CCG is not able to extend GP hours; this is something that would need to be done by NHS England.
The Chairman thanked Nicola Lester for her very informative presentation.

Local Enterprise Partnership Update PDF 943 KB Warren Rolls, Partnerships Manager, Buckinghamshire Thames Valley Local Enterprise Partnership Minutes: The Partnership welcomed Warren Ralls, Partnerships Manager at Bucks Thames Valley Local Enterprise Partnership. Warren gave a presentation explaining what the BTVLEP does, what links to the community they have and what they can do for our high streets.
In discussions after the meeting the following points were noted: – A lot of young people tend not to move back to Buckinghamshire after they have completed university because the house prices tend to be too high – Young people are struggling to find work after finishing university because the skillsets they have is not what employers in Bucks are after. – It was suggested going into secondary schools to inform young people of the job opportunities that are available locally so they know how to train for them. – Ruth Farwell, BTVLEP Board Director sits on the Skills Sub Group which is trying to help businesses create opportunities for young people. – There doesn’t seem to be the same level of advice available for start-up businesses like there use to be. BBF have a business advisor who helps small businesses and can provide advice on most aspects. – BTVLEP are strongly against HS2 when the money could be used in other ways and be more productive. BTVLEP feel that the Buckinghamshire economy will not benefit from HS2. – BTVLEP support farming and rural areas like any other business and are currently trying to link in with environment action groups and partnerships so they can become more informed about the issue.
The Chairman thanked Warren Ralls for his informative presentation.

Joint Sustainable Community Strategy (SCS) PDF 49 KB Alan Goodrum, Chief Executive, South Bucks and Chiltern District Council and Rachel Prance, Principal Officer for Policy, Performance & Communications, South Bucks and Chiltern District Council Additional documents: Minutes: The Partnership received a report from Alan Goodrum, Chiltern and South Bucks District Council’s Chief Executive. Alan presented the Joint Sustainable Community Strategy which has been circulated to members prior to the meeting. Partner organisations had previously provided feedback which had been incorporated into the SCS. Mr Goodrum stated it was important that the Partnership took ownership of the SCS, treating it as a living document and that the action plan produced from it supports the implementation of the SCS.
RESOLVED that:-
The Joint Sustainable Community Strategy was approved and accepted by the partnership.
The Partnership then took part in two exercises to help identify what is already taking place and what the priorities from within the joint SCS will be for the next 12 – 18 months. The first exercise was to map out what was already being done to help achieve the outcomes that have been identified in the joint SCS. The second exercise was to prioritise the outcomes for each theme. A summary of the exercises is included in appendix A.
Next Steps: The next steps are to collate all the information from the workshop and to circulate the notes to the partnership members. Once the information has been circulated we will be able to conduct exercise 3 which will be done virtually. Exercise 3 will ask members and/ or their organisations to make commitments to help deliver the priority areas that have been identified in exercise 2.
The reason we decided to do exercise 3 virtually is so it allows people to discuss the outcomes of exercise 1 and 2 within their organisations before making a commitment. The deadline for members to provide feedback is 30th November 2013. Once we have received all the feedback from members we will be able to decide what actions the partnership should take whether this is setting up a working group for each theme or just to allocating a lead who can feedback to the wider partnership.
