The Board received a presentation from Dawn Dawson, Dorset Healthcare University NHS Foundation Trust, detailing the Dorset County Hospital and Dorset Healthcare Collaboration. 

The BCP Council Chief Executive advised that the Council had not been consulted on this but rather informed, which he felt was really poor, as the Council should have been consulted on potential major changes.  He continued that the Council was looking for a demonstration that BCP residents were being considered during the decision-making process. 

The Board agreed that there should be some formal marker that it was not happy with how this has been done, which should come in writing from the Chair of the Board. 

Dawn Dawson and Nick Johnson left the meeting at the end of this item. 

This report provides an overview of the content of the Better Care Fund (BCF) plan for 2022-23.

The BCF is a key delivery vehicle in providing person centred integrated care with health, social care, housing and other public services, which is fundamental to having a strong and sustainable health and care system.

National planning guidance was released in July 2022 advising that plans need to be completed and submitted for national assurance by NHS England by 26^th September 2022. The plan needs to be jointly agreed and signed off by the Health and Wellbeing Board as one of the planning requirements and so the draft planning document has been submitted to meet the deadline but is pending Board approval.

This will again be a year of minimal change to BCF plans with more significant changes expected next year with a greater period of planning lead in time.

The Director of Commissioning for People presented a report, a copy of which had been circulated to each Member and a copy of which appears as Appendix 'A' to these Minutes in the Minute Book.

All those present in favour– minded to.

The purpose of this report is to seek the Board’s support for ‘A Movement for Movement’ (a physical activity strategy for BCP and Dorset). The strategy sets out a shared approach for partners to apply to developing action for increasing physical activity across BCP & Dorset. 

Rates of physical activity have fallen since March 2020 in both adults and children. Across BCP significant numbers of adults, children and young people do not meet the UK Chief Medical Officers’ guidelines for physical activity (movement) levels.

Physical activity is identified as a priority in the Dorset Health and Wellbeing Board Strategy and A Movement for Movement builds on this by setting out priority themes for collective action by stakeholders from across the system to increase movement levels.

To enable the draft strategy to be finalised and launched with partners across BCP Council and Dorset Council areas (support for the strategy will be requested from Dorset Health and Wellbeing Board).

Rupert Lloyd, Senior Health Programme Advisor, Public Health Dorset gave a short presentation to the Board. 

The Board was impressed with the Strategy and felt it needed to be shared as widely as possible.  The Board was advised that Public Health Dorset was not being prescriptive about what organisations should do but welcomed working with them to get the message out. 

It was further advised that there was no set strategy plan, but it was cultural changes that were needed, so that we talk about it more and movement became natural to everyone. 

The Board agreed that they would welcome an update in 12 months, with evidence of what changes have been achieved. 

RECOMMENDED/RESOLVED that:

1. The Board notes the contents of the draft physical activity ‘A Movement for Movement’ (Appendix A);

2. Approves the draft strategy; and

3. Board Members support the launch and dissemination of A Movement for Movement within their organisation during Autumn 2022 and engage with the approach it sets out.
