Craig McArdle was present for this item and referred to the report in the agenda pack.  The report outlines the Health and Wellbeing Board being at the centre of the Local Care Plan (LCP) and provided an update on the progress made since February 2020.  Next steps to develop the architecture and programme of works and this would be reported back to the Health and Wellbeing Board on progress.  It was reported that there was still some debate on whether there would be 4 or 5 LCPs.

Dr Shelagh McCormick did not agree with this position and that the GPs were concerned on the impact and preferred to continue under the western locality.

It was agreed that the Chair would send a letter on behalf of the Health and Wellbeing Board outlining the robust discussion which was not unanimous and taking on board the strong view from the Primary Care Networks (PCN) and to continue working with the PCNs to seek a solution.
