To consider a proposal for Wokingham Adults Integrated Health and Social Care Governance. (10 mins)

The Board received a report regarding Wokingham’s Adult Integrated Health and Social Care Governance proposal.

During the discussion of this item the following points were made:

·         Paul Senior, Interim Director People Services outlined the move towards integration.

·         The Board was requested to support the approach to enhance the existing Section 75 Partnership Agreement to include Partners, Berkshire Healthcare Foundation Trust and Wokingham GP Alliance in order to further progress the integration of adult health and social care services.

·         Dr Winfield commented that she was supportive in principle but discussions also needed to be had at CCG governance level.  Further work was required before such an approach was enacted.  She commented that a risk share arrangement referred to needed further clarification.

·         Paul Senior commented that it was important that the Board see a proposed direction of travel.

·         It was agreed that a further update would be provided once the proposal had been through the CCG governance process.

RESOLVED:  That the approach to enhance the Section 75 Partnership to include our Partners, Berkshire Healthcare Foundation Trust and Wokingham GP Alliance in order to progress the integration of adult and social care services, be supported.
