Agenda item

The Committee considered a report of the Chief Officer of Durham Dales, Easington and Sedgefield, and North Durham Clinical Commissioning Groups (CCGs) & Chair of the County Durham Integrated Care Board (for copy see file of minutes).

Councillor Crute welcomed the information contained in the report but had concerns regarding an integrated system for children and adults. He also raised concerns on the issue of timing as if a further update was provided in six months, the Committee did not have a great deal of time to respond by Autumn 2019 when the final draft was expected.

The Director of Commissioning and Development confirmed that with regards to the Integrated Care Board, it covered both children and adults.  In six months the Committee would be receiving a document to consider.

Resolved:

     i)        That the report be noted

    ii)        That the approach to the development of the long-term Durham System

   iii)        Health and Wellbeing Plan be noted.

   iv)        That the Durham System Plan for Children’s in May 2019 be presented to a future meeting of the Children and Young People’s Overview and Scrutiny Committee and that members of this Committee be invited to attend.
