Georgina Ruddle/Jane Rowland, Associate Directors, Mental Health, Bath & North East Somerset, Swindon and Wiltshire Integrated Care Board (BSW ICB) gave a presentation on the BSW ICB All Age Mental Health Strategy.

The presentation gave an overview of the strategy as follows:

1.  Strategy production - context & methodology

2.  Strategic vision & aims

3.  Our Population & Current Delivery Status

4.  The BSW Mental Health Strategic Conceptual Model

5.  Strategic Commitments

6.  Strategy finalisation

The Board raised the following comments:

1.  It was important for the BSW ICB All Age Mental Health Strategy to be aligned with other strategies e.g., Joint Health and Wellbeing Strategy.

2.  Assurance was needed on how capacity could be managed to meet demand.

3.  Any research needed to feed into the Council’s Strategic Evidence Base.

4.  The Board would like to receive further updates on the implementation of the strategy and factors that were making a difference.

5.  There needed to be alignment with the transformational work being carried out by the third sector. 

6.  There was a need to identify how early interventions linked in with the strategy.

In response to a question about the strategy, it was confirmed that there was a transition model supported by AWP/Oxford Health and the Third Sector.  There was also an opportunity for co-production with children and young people on transition to encourage their voice in the process.

The Board RESOLVED to note the presentation.
