Noted the
content of the performance report provided.
 
Agreed to provide the following
comments, for inclusion in feedback to the Integration Joint Board,
on the Aberdeenshire HSCP Draft
Strategic Plan for 2025-2035:
 
1.    
Realising the priority of early intervention and
prevention required funding to follow where it was
needed.
2.    
Place-based arrangements – a focus on academy
towns did not seem to match with addressing issues of rural
inequality and access.
3.    
Engagement on the Deeside Strategic Needs Assessment
had highlighted the value of community hospitals to
communities.
4.    
It was understood that a focus on those most in need
was required due to resources but there were concerns on the risks
of this creating a later crisis.
5.    
Transportation, for both staff and service users,
was an important issue. Further
consideration of working with
communities around voluntary transport was suggested.
6.    
Welcomed reassurances that mental health would be
remain a focus moving forward.
