Minutes:
The Board considered a report outlining the Bromley System Winter Plan.
The Bromley System Winter Plan had been developed to provide a framework for health and social care partners within the Bromley system to manage surge and capacity issues at both technical and strategic levels within the local health and social care system during Winter 2018. A number of objectives had been identified within the Plan which comprised establishing a shared understanding of surge and escalation criteria used across health and social care services, defining a flexible framework for response and defining procedures and processes about escalation in the event of an actual or potential surge and capacity issues. During surge and escalation issues, the Plan also specified frameworks for informing, coordinating and supporting the health and social care services response to incidents and to actively engage with the public, as well as to provide a mechanism by which issues for joint resolution by partners could be escalated at both a tactical and strategic level. The South East London Sustainability and Transformation Plan required Local Accident and Emergency Delivery Boards to submit a winter assurance plan to NHS England for their areas, and the Health and Wellbeing Board was requested to support and challenge the local system to ensure that all elements within the report were delivered and that the local system worked together to respond to the challenging seasonal demand.
In response to a question from a Member, the Urgent Care Lead: Integrated Commissioning, Bromley Clinical Commissioning Group confirmed that recruitment was underway to support the delivery of the Bromley System Winter Plan. A Board Member underlined the importance of Local Authority, health and social care professionals being vaccinated against flu.
Further updates on the Bromley System Winter Plan would be reported to the meetings of the Health and Wellbeing Board on 31st January and 21st March 2019.
RESOLVED that the Bromley System Winter Plan be agreed.
