DECISIONS
The Cabinet
1.   
Accepted the recommendations of the ICB report.
ICB Dementia Community Support Report
Recommendations:
1.1Cognitive Stimulation Therapy
(CST) services should be commissioned so there is equitable access
across all areas of HIOW
a.   
 Develop the service and commission for
CST Gap: A service should be procured and in place by the end of
March 2026 for the high-priority CST gap, with details of the
proposed timeline in Appendix V.
b.   
Align Portsmouth extensions with CST Procurement: Ensure that the
Portsmouth extensions align with the procurement plans for CST to
prevent any disruption in service provision.
1.2Review high/moderate areas for
commissioning plans. Conduct a review of high and moderate areas,
focusing on carers support, named worker services, and how existing
funds can be re-utilised for equitable access across HIOW. This
will include examining roles like Navigators, Carers Support, and
Admiral Nurses to ensure value for money.
1.3Work alongside the HIOW Dementia
Alliance and Local Authority plans: Continue to engage with and
input into the Dementia Alliance work and support the Hampshire LA
plans to develop and Hampshire Dementia Strategy, and any BCF plans
that include services linked to supporting people with dementia in
the community.
1.4Work should be aligned and
linked to the system frailty programme: Continue to link with ICB
Strategic Lead in Local Care and HIOW Healthcare Lead for frailty
work, sharing work plans and timelines and engaging in events as
appropriate to ensure work is joined up and not duplicated.
 
2.   
To note a meeting is planned between two Portsmouth residents who
are carers, ICB and Adult Social Care (ASC) staff, and the Cabinet
Member, Councillor Winnington, to ensure the carers' voice has been
heard and can feed into future recommendations. 
3.   
That NHS Hampshire and IoW be thanked for their report and their
engagement with the review.  
4.   
That the timescales for the next phase of the review are rigid and
adhered to.
5.   
That consideration be given to producing a dementia strategy for
Portsmouth, similarly to that which has been produced for
Hampshire.
