·                     To receive an update on the New Youth Offer – Richard Williams; and

·                     To receive an update on changes to reporting – Siobhan Grady.

Richard Williams presented a paper which provided an update on changes to services for young people following the publication of the Government’s policy for young people aged between 13-19 ‘Positive for Youth’.  Previously there had been no statutory framework for youth offer and the Ofsted Inspection Framework had been used to drive performance.  However the Government was in the process of making it statutory to provide youth services and ensure that local Councils and partners actively involve young people in development of local services to ensure they meet their needs. 

Torbay already has a good voice for youth through the successful Youth Parliament; is working closely with parents looking at developing support around teenage parenting; is working closely with the community and voluntary sector; looking at earlier support to help prevent bad behaviour; and has released £150,000 previously used to employ youth workers to the voluntary sector within Torbay to deliver services for young people.

It was noted that the Council was currently going through the tendering process for a youth contract which would also include employment issues and NEETS (not in employment, education, training or school).

Siobhan Grady outlined the submitted paper on the proposed merger of the Young Person Substance Misuse and Joint Commissioning Group and Housing Strategy Group (which is focussed on young people) and the new reporting arrangements. 

Agreed:

(i)         the Health and Well Being Board agreed to the decision for accountability for children’s substance misuse commissioning to be undertaken through a merged commissioning delivery group (i.e. the Children, Families and Young Persons Planning Commissioning Group) reporting to the Supporting People Commissioning Board which in turn reports to the Health and Well Being Board;

(ii)        the Supporting People Commissioning Board to extend it’s scope taking a broader remit to include children substance misuse issues;

(iii)       the revised Terms of Reference set out in Appendix 1 to the submitted report were approved.  This includes name of group, Chair, membership and representation, agenda planning and process for performance management;

(iv)       the proposed new arrangements and first meeting to be held May 2012; and

(v)        the new arrangements to be monitored for nine months in order to make any further recommendations for further merger and streamlining of commissioning and planning groups and scope and remit to Supporting People Commissioning Board.

·         To receive the Children and Young People's Plan (CYPP) Priorities and Monitoring Arrangements – Richard Williams; and

·         To receive an update on Community Budgets – Richard Williams.

To receive an update on the above.

Siobhan Grady outlined the submitted paper on the proposed extension of the Terms of Reference of the Supporting People Commissioning Body to include commissioning of adult social care to ensure appropriate governance arrangements are in place following the appointment of the Director of Adult Social Services (DASS) within Torbay Council and the widened remit for the Torbay Care Trust provider arm to cover southern Devon.

Agreed:

The Shadow Health and Wellbeing Board endorsed the decision of Supporting People Commissioning Body on 16 February to extend the Memorandum of Understanding and Terms of Reference for the Supporting People Commissioning Body to include accountability for adult social care commissioning in Torbay.  A Summary of the commissioning decisions will be provided at future Health and Wellbeing Board meetings.

To receive an update on the above.

Charlie Daniels provided an update in respect of the Clinical Commissioning Group.  He advised that it had been agreed to merge Torbay’s Baywide Clinical Commissioning Group with South Devon’s Clinical Commissioning Group as it was too small on its own.  A new South Devon and Torbay Clinical Commissioning Group will be established which covers 38 GP practices and 290,000 patients and is coterminous with the boundary of the South Devon Healthcare Trust.  A Joint Board with Torbay and South Devon will be establishing a shadow Board which will be operational from October 2012.

To receive an update on the above.

Debbie Stark provided an update on the public health transition which was due to take effect from April 2013.  The transition is going well in Torbay due to existing arrangements although there are still issues to be resolved around finance.  The Government is not clear on how the arrangements with the NHS will work with the changes and are working with Public Health England and the Clinical Commissioning Groups.

To receive an update on the above.
