RECEIVED the presentation on Enfield Integrated Care Partnership (ICP).

NOTED

1.    Introduction by Deborah McBeal, Director of Integration, NHS North Central London CCG, noting the progress made. The partnership was an opportunity to collectively work on a number of initiatives to help the health and wellbeing of Enfield residents. The three key initiatives were (1) achieving uptake of screening and immunisation; (2) identifying and addressing health and wellbeing inequalities in BAME communities; and (3) improving mental health and wellbeing among residents.

2.    Bindi Nagra highlighted the importance of governance arrangements and coherent and consistent reporting back to partnership bodies, and of the patient voice.

3.    Dr Hetul Shah, clinical lead, highlighted the involvement of many partners working together, and current focus on flu vaccination.

IN RESPONSE

4.    Members raised the concerns of patients regarding access to primary care/digital exclusion in respect of e-consult, and in navigating secondary healthcare online systems. It was acknowledged that a proportion of patients found online services complex and sub-optimal, and practices were being supported to increase confidence in seeing patients in person for examination. There was now confidence in availability and supply of PPE, and training on how to keep premises, staff and patients safe. There was also work being done to improve communication from hospitals.

5.    In respect of health and wellbeing inequalities in BAME communities, the Chair raised that the focus needed to be on Edmonton. The importance of community research and engagement was emphasised by CCG representatives.

6.    Assurances were sought that Enfield would have adequate representation in North Central London CCG, and there would be equitable distribution of resources. It was confirmed that Enfield would have extra management support, and that part of the rationale for the CCG merger was to ensure best use of funding across boroughs and more equity of funding across North Central London.

AGREED that Health and Wellbeing Board noted and endorsed the ICP progress update.
