To receive a report regarding the Wokingham’s Integration Position Statement. (15 mins)

Katie Summers, Director of Operations (Wokingham), CCG presented a report regarding Wokingham’s Integration Position Statement.

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

·         Wokingham Integration Position Statement was owned by the Wokingham Integrated Partnership.

·         Integration meant different things to different people.  Extensive consultation had been carried out over what integration meant.

·         Board members were referred to the High Level Plan which set out the key ambitions and deliverables.

·         There was a desire to ensure that integration was centred on people and that people were able to discuss their own health and social care. 

·         Katie Summers commented that there was a need to get better at using available data.  She went on to state that a collaborative conversation regarding workforce was needed as this area was key.

·         Clare Rebbeck stated that she felt that the document was quite health orientated and that she would like to see more regarding community resilience.  Katie Summers indicated that she would feed this back to the Wokingham Leaders Board.

·         Further discussion regarding how the Position Statement would be adopted, needed to be had with partners.  It was important that it was owned by the relevant statutory organisations.

RESOLVED:  That the Integration Position Statement be agreed and endorsed and that the Board recognise that it was an important and significant step in the development of a new collaborative partnership for health and social care in Wokingham.
