Minutes:

Roz Howie, Interim Director of Commissioning and Partnerships, delivered a report which required the Sub-Committee to ratify the 2023-25 Better Care Fund (BCF) planning requirements for Nottingham, which were submitted to NHS England on 28 June 2023. The following information was highlighted:

 

(a)  the BCF is a key component of the integrated Care System’s (ICS) Integrated Care Strategy;

 

(b)  the schemes and services that form the BCF plan include care coordination and multi-disciplinary health and care planning. This should include meeting mental health needs as part of proactive care pathways and hospital discharge planning;

 

(c)  a collective strategic review of the existing BCF plans was undertaken by the ICB and Local Authorities between May and August 2022, to which the fund met the relevant criteria. The review took place in three phases;

 

(d)  the findings and recommendations of phases 1 and 2 of the BCF review have now concluded and will be reviewed by Nottingham City HWB in November 2023;

 

(e)  Phase 3 is now in train and the ICB, County Council and City Council are continuing to collaborate to take forwards the recommendations of the review and finalise the priority areas for further integration, with leadership provided by the Collaborative Commissioning Oversight Group. This will be progressed with considerable stakeholder engagement across Health and Wellbeing Board members, commissioning and provider organisations and Place Based Partnerships. This will be galvanised through two workshops to take place during October and November 2023.

 

Resolved to approve the 2023-25 Better Care Funding Planning Requirements.

 

Reasons for decision:

 

The Better Care Fund Planning Requirements were agreed for submission to NHS England, subject to formal ratification at the Nottingham City Health and Wellbeing Board on the 28 June 2023. Subsequently, the Nottingham City Health and Wellbeing Board Sub-Committee is asked to formally ratify the templates. The Nottingham City 2023 - 25 Better Care Fund planning template submission is shown in Appendix 1 of the report.

 

Other Options Considered:

 

None as submission is a requirement.
