Issue details

This paper sets out the background, rationale, purpose, and scope for developing a Place-Based Partnership (PBP) in Bournemouth, Christchurch & Poole (BCP), drawing on local and national context.
The Wellbeing Directorate have worked jointly with colleagues across BCP and in the ICB to set out the initial content. Views are sought from the Health and Wellbeing Board, to further inform the initial thinking set out. Ultimately the paper aims to support the BCP Health & Wellbeing Board in considering the establishment and operation of a BCP Placed Based Partnership, clarifying its distinct role, governance, and relationship to existing structures. In summary:
1.
Consensus to date has been that the PBP should act as a non-statutory strategic delivery group for the Health & Wellbeing Board which is a statutory and formal committee
2.
This would allow for greater agility and flexibility to determine local form and function and respond to local priorities and needs
3.
The HWBB would continue as a statutory committee and will formally provide strategic direction and oversight to the PBP. Strategic oversight could also be provided by the
2
ICB Cluster Board as necessary to ensure join up and direction of NHS resources at place
4.
The PBP would act as an officer-led executive delivery group (similar to the previous ICS System Executive Group) for both the HWB Board and the ICB Cluster Board, providing a collaborative space for senior executives to meet to plan, arrange and co-ordinate the delivery of key strategies and programmes that seek to transform and integrate services to improve the health & wellbeing of BCP residents.
5.
The partnership is where the work will be done to join together programmes and have honest and challenging conversations in a safe and respectful space.
6.
Initial programmes in scope include:
•
BCP Health & Wellbeing Strategy
•
BCP Neighbourhood Health Plan & Neighbourhood Health Programme and prevention
•
Future Care Programme
•
Better Care Fund and joint commissioning as appropriate
•
Strategic commissioning intentions
•
Place based engagement
•
Focus on facts & data, insights (linked to BCP Continuous improvement programme)
•
Building local knowledge
•
Opportunities around asset review to deliver shared aims of partnership at place and neighbourhoods.
7.
The programmes in scope could be evolved and expanded over time to include other place-based programmes.
8.
The partnership could share and redistribute financial resources, on approval of the Health and Wellbeing board and the ICB Cluster Board, and act as forum for joint commissioning
9.
It is hoped that existing commissioning responsibilities could be delegated by the ICB to the PBP over time.
