The Board to review the funding transfer from NHS England to Social Care 2013/14.

The Chair provided an update on the 2013/14 funding transfer of £4.6 million from NHS England to Plymouth City Council to support adult social care services.  It was reported that this trance of money is the start of the integrated funding stream.  Planning to commence in the autumn and the Health and Wellbeing Board to receive more detailed plans over the coming months.

Agreed that the Health and Wellbeing Board approve the use of the 256 funding outlined in the report as aligned to the agreed strategic approaches of the Board which are to –

·         ensure partners move resources – both fiscal and human for prevention via the health and wellbeing agenda;

·         ensure systems and processes will be developed and used to make the best use of limited resources, every time;

·         ensure partners will work together and with those they service to take joint ownership of the sustainability agenda.
