The Health & Wellbeing Board met on Thursday 16 May 2024 to discuss a range of important issues affecting residents' health and wellbeing. Key discussions included the refreshed Learning Disabilities Plan, the Carers' Strategy, and the draft Health and Wellbeing Strategy Implementation Plan. The Board also received updates on the North West London ICB Joint Forward Plan and the Better Care Fund.

Housing Activities to Support the Health and Wellbeing Strategy

Bernadette Fry, Assistant Director for Resident Services at Kensington and Chelsea, and Gill Matthews, Head of Homelessness Prevention at Westminster, presented an overview of housing initiatives aimed at supporting the Health and Wellbeing Strategy.

At Kensington and Chelsea, the Warm and Well programme, currently a pilot in Golbourne ward, addresses health problems arising from deteriorating housing stock. A surveyor and nurse visit council-owned properties with known issues like leaks or damp, or where vulnerable residents live, to arrange repairs or refer residents to health services. Adaptation needs can also be identified during these visits.

Westminster is reviewing its Allocations Policy, last updated in 2011. The current policy separates needs into categories such as medical or overcrowding, leading to a lack of holistic consideration for households with multiple needs. The Rough Sleeping and Homelessness Strategy acknowledges the significant impact of homelessness on health and wellbeing, particularly for children. Both boroughs have engaged extensively with residents on these policies, with formal consultation planned for the summer.

Learning Disabilities Plan

Seth Mills, Director of Learning Disabilities, introduced the refreshed Learning Disabilities Plan, which outlines seven key priorities to improve the lives of people with learning disabilities. This plan is a joint initiative with the Integrated Care Board (ICB), focusing on wellbeing and service provision, and has involved input from residents, councillors, and various stakeholders. Areas for improvement have been identified, with a particular focus on housing, staff training, and adult services.

Sue Redmond, Chair of Full of Life, highlighted that the plan addresses previously overlooked issues for people with learning disabilities, such as housing and training. She also noted that parents' emotional needs are often not considered in service design and that her organisation has secured funding for specialist counselling for parents.

Departments are developing services to be more inclusive, with Children's Services allowing access to support without a formal diagnosis and expanding universal services. The Public Health department is redesigning the Healthy Lifestyle Service to include a dedicated pathway for people with learning disabilities. Board members acknowledged the plan's aims but stressed that delivery, particularly regarding housing, would be crucial. Concerns were raised about families' hesitancy to acknowledge learning disabilities in their children and the need for better school preparation for independent living, especially travel training.

The Board resolved to note the report. The plan is scheduled to be reviewed by the Board in six months to monitor progress.

Carers' Strategy

Gareth Wall, Director of Integrated Commissioning, presented the Carers' Strategy, which is a requirement of the Care Act. The strategy focuses on supporting unpaid carers and has been co-produced with carers, identifying six priority areas: identification, recognition, and appreciation; information and advice; care and support for those being cared for; finance; housing; and carers' health and wellbeing.

A key focus is identifying more carers, as current data suggests a significant number are not yet known to services. The strategy also emphasises the wellbeing of carers and ensuring their access to information and advice.

Officers confirmed that commissioned services and organisations like the Carers' Network would use existing projects to reach unidentified carers. Existing networks will also be used to support carers living in different boroughs. Services for carers are offered at evenings and weekends, and officers agreed that increasing accessibility is a priority.

A concern was raised about the phrase 'old age fragility', with a suggestion for more specific wording such as cognitive decline or physical health.

The Board resolved to note the report.

Draft Health and Wellbeing (HWB) Strategy Implementation Plan

David Bello, Director of Health Partnerships and Mental Health, presented the draft HWB Strategy Implementation Plan. This plan, which sits beneath the ten-year Health and Wellbeing Strategy, outlines actions for the first two years to address health inequalities. The plan covers all ten ambitions of the HWB Strategy and has benefited from significant stakeholder input. The Board was asked to comment on the draft plan, with the final version to be presented for approval in July.

The Board resolved to note the report.

North West London ICB - Joint Forward Plan

Toby Lambert, Executive Director of Strategy and Population Health for North West London Integrated Care System (ICB), introduced the Joint Forward Plan. This legally required document outlines the ICB's strategy and actions for the next five years, aiming for equitable access to high-quality care across all eight North West London boroughs through improved efficiency and effectiveness. Resource reallocation is anticipated to meet local needs.

The Board resolved to note the report.

Better Care Fund (BCF) 24/25 Plan and 23/24 End of Year Report

David Bello, Director of Health Partnerships and Mental Health, provided a verbal update on the BCF plan. Negotiations for the 2024/25 settlement are ongoing, and a delegation was requested to the Bi-Borough Executive Director for Adult Social Care to sign off the allocation.

The Board resolved to delegate authority to sign off the allocation to the Bi-Borough Executive Director, Adult Social Care.

Update on RBKC and Westminster CQC Assessments

Khatija Rasool provided a verbal update on the Care Quality Commission (CQC) assessments. Westminster was notified in February, and Kensington and Chelsea in March, with both councils submitting self-assessments. Westminster's assessment is scheduled to begin on 17 June, while Kensington and Chelsea has not yet received a date.

Questions from the Public

No questions were received from the public.

Date of Next Meeting

The next meeting of the Joint Health and Wellbeing Board will be hosted by the Royal Borough of Kensington and Chelsea on Thursday, 18 July 2024, at a venue to be confirmed.

The meeting concluded at 6:00 pm.

RBKC and WCC Housing Presentation and Discussion on Housing Activities to Support the Delivery of the Health and Wellbeing Strategy (Ambition 4)

Bernadette Cook, Assistant Director for Resident Services at RBKC, and Gill Matthews, Head of Homelessness Prevention at WCC, presented an overview of housing initiatives supporting the Health and Wellbeing Strategy.

At Kensington and Chelsea, the Warm and Well programme, currently a pilot in Golbourne ward, aims to address health issues linked to deteriorating housing stock. A surveyor and nurse conduct visits to council-owned properties with known damp or leaks, or where vulnerable residents reside, to arrange repairs or refer residents to health services. Adaptation needs can also be identified during these visits.

Westminster is reviewing its Allocations Policy, last updated in 2011. The current policy separates needs into categories such as medical or overcrowding, leading to a lack of holistic consideration for households with multiple needs. The Rough Sleeping and Homelessness Strategy acknowledges the significant impact of homelessness on health and wellbeing, particularly for children. Both boroughs have engaged extensively with residents on these policies, with formal consultation planned for the summer.

Officers provided information in response to questions from Members regarding Westminster's programme to address damp and mould issues, which is managed by the contact centre. The benefits of efficiencies and avoided costs of different activities were assessed alongside the cost.

The Chair requested that these activities return to the Board at a later date, with an update on progress and case studies.

Learning Disabilities Plan

Seth Mills, Director of Learning Disabilities, introduced the report, providing information to the Board. The plan has been refreshed and sets out seven key priorities to improve the lives of people with learning disabilities, applicable to both councils and partner organisations. The plan is a joint initiative with the ICB, focusing on wellbeing and service provision, and has involved engagement from residents and councillors. There will be a particular focus on areas needing improvement.

The Board heard from Sue Redmond, Chair of Full of Life, who stated that the plan was developed in collaboration with services and offers a good opportunity for change. She highlighted specific issues for people with learning disabilities that had not previously been addressed, such as housing, staff training, and services for adults with learning disabilities. She also noted that parents are often not considered when designing services for people with learning disabilities, particularly regarding their emotional needs, and that her organisation has secured funding for specialist counselling for parents.

Officers provided information in response to questions from Members. They stated that the service works closely with other council departments, the education and health systems, and other partners to identify people with learning disabilities, but acknowledged that not everyone can be identified through this method. The plan should be brought back to the Board in six months to monitor progress. Departments are developing services to include people with learning disabilities, such as Children's Services allowing people to access support without a formal diagnosis and expanding universal services to include children with a learning disability. The Public Health department is redesigning the Healthy Lifestyle Service to ensure there is a dedicated pathway for people with learning disabilities.

Board Members made the following comments: The plan and its aims were laudable, but the key test would be in delivery, with actions around housing likely to be particularly crucial. Some families are hesitant to admit that their child may have learning disabilities, and more is needed to encourage interaction with relevant services. More work is needed in schools to prepare young people for independent life, particularly around travel training, as a lack of preparation is often a barrier to attending work or college.

The Board resolved to note the report.

Carers' Strategy

Gareth Wall, Director of Integrated Commissioning, introduced the report. The Care Act requires local authorities to produce strategies to guide social work and commissioning activity. This strategy focuses on unpaid carers and ways to assist more carers in continuing their caring role. The strategy was co-produced with carers who identified six priorities: Identify, recognise and appreciate carers; Information and advice; Care and support for those being cared-for; Finance; Housing; and Carers' health and wellbeing.

It was highlighted as particularly important to identify more people who are carers in both boroughs, as existing data indicates there are many more carers who could benefit from support than are currently known. Another area of discussion was the need to focus on the wellbeing of carers and ensure they have access to information and advice.

Officers provided information in response to questions from Members. Commissioned services and organisations such as Carers' Network would use existing projects and programmes to reach carers who had not already been identified. Existing networks could also be used to support carers who lived in different boroughs and may be harder to identify. Some services for carers were offered at evenings and weekends, and officers agreed that increasing accessibility to services for carers needed to be addressed, as identified by carers who co-produced the strategy.

Board Members made the following comments: A concern was raised at the use of the phrase 'old age fragility', and more specific wording should be used such as cognitive decline or physical health.

The Board resolved to note the report.

Draft Health and Wellbeing Strategy Implementation Plan

David Bello, Director of Health Partnerships and Mental Health, presented the plan, which had been endorsed at the previous Board meeting. He explained that the final version of the Plan would be presented at the next Board meeting in July for approval, after which it would be implemented.

The Board resolved to note the report.

NWL ICB - Joint Forward Plan

Toby Lambert, Executive Director of Strategy and Population Health, North West London Integrated Care System, introduced the item. He explained that the Joint Forward Plan is a statutory document that sets out the actions to be taken over the next five years to implement the ICB's Strategy. A key priority for the ICB is ensuring that residents in all eight North-West London boroughs have equal access to high-quality care, achieved through improved efficiency and effectiveness. The NHS's offer will be tailored to meet local needs, with some likely reallocation of resources.

The Board resolved to note the report.

BCF 24/25 Plan and 23/24 End of Year Report

David Bello, Director of Health Partnerships and Mental Health, provided a verbal update to the Board, stating that negotiations were ongoing for the 2024/25 settlement and that a delegation was requested to the Bi-Borough Executive Director for Adult Social Care to sign off the allocation.

Housing Initiatives Supporting Health and Wellbeing

Bernadette Cook (RBKC) and Gill Matthews (WCC) presented housing activities aimed at supporting the Health and Wellbeing Strategy. Kensington and Chelsea's Warm and Well programme pilots visits to council properties to address health issues linked to housing conditions. Westminster is reviewing its Allocations Policy to ensure a more holistic approach to households with multiple needs. Both boroughs have engaged residents on these policies, with formal consultation planned. Officers confirmed Westminster's programme to address damp and mould issues and assessed the benefits of efficiencies. The Chair requested a follow-up on these activities with progress updates and case studies.

Learning Disabilities Plan

Seth Mills introduced the refreshed Learning Disabilities Plan, outlining seven priorities for improving the lives of individuals with learning disabilities. This plan, developed collaboratively with residents and stakeholders, addresses housing, staff training, and adult services. Sue Redmond of Full of Life highlighted the plan's focus on previously overlooked issues and the need to consider parents' emotional needs. Departments are developing more inclusive services. Board members emphasised the importance of delivery, particularly regarding housing, and the need for better school preparation for independent living. The Board resolved to note the report, with a review scheduled in six months.

Carers' Strategy

Gareth Wall presented the Carers' Strategy, co-produced with carers, focusing on six priorities: identification, recognition, and appreciation; information and advice; care and support; finance; housing; and health and wellbeing. A key objective is to identify more carers and focus on their wellbeing. Officers confirmed that commissioned services, such as the Carers' Network, will be used to reach unidentified carers. Services are available evenings and weekends, and accessibility is a priority. A concern was raised regarding the phrasing old age fragility. The Board resolved to note the report.

Draft Health and Wellbeing Strategy Implementation Plan

David Bello presented the draft implementation plan, which aligns with the ten-year Health and Wellbeing Strategy and outlines actions for the first two years to address health inequalities. The plan has incorporated significant stakeholder input. The Board was asked to comment on the draft, with the final version to be presented in July. The Board resolved to note the report.

North West London ICB - Joint Forward Plan

Toby Lambert introduced the Joint Forward Plan, a statutory document detailing the ICB's five-year strategy for equitable access to high-quality care across all eight boroughs. The Board resolved to note the report.

Better Care Fund (BCF) 24/25 Plan and 23/24 End of Year Report

David Bello provided an update on the BCF plan, noting ongoing negotiations for the 2024/25 settlement and requesting delegation to the Bi-Borough Executive Director for Adult Social Care to sign off the allocation. The Board resolved to delegate this authority.

Update on RBKC and Westminster CQC Assessments
