To receive a report which provides an overview of the context, progress to date and work underway to develop the five-year Coventry and Warwickshire Integrated Health and Care Delivery Plan.

Rachel Danter outlined the report and presentation which provided an overview of the context, progress to date and work underway to develop the five-year Coventry and Warwickshire Integrated Health and Care Delivery Plan.

She advised that the plan was due to be signed off by the Integrated Care Board on 21 June and discussions could continue until then.  She explained the strategic context and the wide-ranging engagement mapping undertaken. 

The national mandate and its role in influencing work within Coventry and Warwickshire and how this plan would integrate with other strategies was also covered.  The five year plan was bult on five priorities and officers were key that the information was accessible.  They planned to produce an easy guide for the public and the plan overall would be updated on an annual basis, coming back to the HWBB for overview.

Alison Cartright, Coventry & Warwickshire ICB, explained some of the key areas of focus which included tackling the 8am telephone rush to GP surgeries, utilising digital solutions such as the capacity to submit online requests.  Building capacity was also key as demand had outstripped resources by building larger, multidisciplinary teams.  Other suggestions included the recruitment and retention of GP’s, cutting bureaucracy and improving the primary and secondary care interface.

Rachel Danter outlined a timeline of the next steps and advised that comments from HWBB members would be collated and included in the draft prior to its presentation at the Integrated Care Board in June 2023.
