Agenda and minutes

The Evacuation Procedure was noted.

To approve the minutes of the last meeting held on 25 September 2024

RESOLVED that the minutes be confirmed as a correct record and signed by the Chair.

Members considered a report that provided an update on care and health winter planning work, across the Council, working with partners.

Discussion and key points, included:-

-       Any admission avoidance work would be important, as bed capacity at North Tees Hospital would likely be under pressure.

-       The Local Area Delivery Board was promoting a campaign that included a particular focus on winter vaccinations.

-       Outreach vaccination sessions would be part of the programme.

RESOLVED that the plan be noted and endorsed

The minutes of the Tees Valley Area ICP Meeting held on 9 August 2024 were noted.

There were no updates

The Right Person Right Care report would initially be scheduled for November.

Healthwatch’s review of dentistry was largely completed, though some

additional engagement was currently underway. Draft recommendations had been compiled and these were being considered by commissioners and other interested parties. The final report would be presented to Board and would be highlighted in the Forward Plan ‘to be scheduled’.

Consideration would be given to including an item on ‘Dental attendance for Children in our care’ on the Forward Plan.

A winter plan presentation that was being provided to Tees Valley Joint Scrutiny, by the Local Area Delivery Board, would be made available to Board members.

RESOLVED that the forward plan be noted.
