Sustainability Transformation Plan update

Minutes:

Ann James (Chief Executive Plymouth Hospitals NHS Trust) and Carole Burgoyne (Strategic Director for People) provided Board Members with a presentation on the Sustainability Transformation Plan update; this was attached to the supplement agenda pack.

 

Members discussed –

 

(a)

issues surrounding primary care in Plymouth, specifically involving several GP practices having handed back their contracts, the unsuccessful procurement of those practices and the retirement bulge of GPs and practice nurses expected within the next five years;

 

(b)

the high level of partnership working across Plymouth City Council, Plymouth NHS Hospitals Trust and Livewell relating to primary care.

 

Agreed that the Board will receive regular updates, to include any service change proposals in support of priorities of the Sustainability Transformation Plan locally and to ensure they are aligned to the Health and Wellbeing Strategy in Plymouth Plan.
