To receive a progress update on the implementation of the two Hampshire Integrated Care Systems (Hampshire and Isle of Wight/Frimley) since their inception in 2022.

The Committee received an update from the Hampshire and Isle of Wight Integrated Care Board and the Frimley Integrated Care Board (ICB) on the progress made since the implementation of Integrated Care Systems in 2022.

A timeline of key stages was shared including the development of each ICB’s strategic priorities, vision statements being finalised, Charter of Behaviours being finalised and delivery in partnership linking to the Operating Plan. Members also heard of the governance arrangements which had been established including the Integrated Care Partnership (ICP) (an alliance of NHS, local government and other partners who work together to improve the care, health and wellbeing of the population) and the ICP Joint Committee; the membership for the Joint Committee was noted. The next steps for each ICB were confirmed in terms of establishing specific programmes to deliver transformed models of care and monitor their impact.

In response to Members’ questions, it was confirmed that:

·         Both Integrated Care Strategy documents were high level and covered a wide range of topics. Specific information on individual workstreams and care pathways was not detailed in the overview papers.

·         Financial challenges being experienced by the H&IOW ICB were noted and, in reference to Appendix 2, section 6 of the report, a return to pre-pandemic levels of spend were not anticipated.

·         Both ICB strategies were intended to bring about meaningful benefits to residents across Hampshire but they included long term aims which required commitment and partnership working to bring to fruition.

·         Public Health colleagues at the County Council were working with Children’s Services to provide education around vaping and prevent young people from taking up vaping.

That the Committee:

    i.       Note the progress made as outlined within the supporting reports and presentation slides.

   ii.       Note the development of the joint forward plan and the separate Integrated Care strategies as set out in the appendices.

  iii.       Continue to monitor and receive updates on the development and implementation of both Hampshire ICSs at appropriate intervals within the Work Programme.
