Minutes:

Natalia Lachkou, Head of Commissioning – Adult Social Care, B&NES and Lucy Baker introduced the report and drew attention to the following:

  1. The Quarter 3 Return was compliant, and the 4 national conditions had been met.
  2. In terms of performance, out of 3 national metrics, 1 was currently not on track to meet the goal - 3.12 – “how long people stay in acute health settings”.  There had been additional measures put in place, and it was hoped that the situation would improve by the time of the annual return.
  3. Additional capacity was put in place during December, and the focus was now on community hospitals.

 

The Board RESOLVED to ratify the Better Care Fund Quarter 3 return.
