Agenda item

5.1

Rebecca Joyce informed the meeting that the report provided an update on progress against the CQC Local System Review submitted in July 2018.  This was the third quarterly update and it had been considered by various partner boards through February and March.

5.2

The report identified areas of concern as well as those areas that were progressing well.  Short term peaks of activity were being managed.  A systemwide workforce strategy for older people was being developed with input from public, staff and unions which would eventually be merged to become an all age strategy.  The introduction of a service user advisory panel meant that there was a better view of the system wide service user experience.

5.3

There was an ambition to reshape care in Sheffield for frailty.  A new workforce strategy was proposed to support this and a new relationship was being formed with the Voluntary, Community and Faith (VCF) Sector.

5.4

Phil Holmes commented that the work of the staff could not be underestimated in delivering an improved DTOC position.  He suggested thanks should be offered to all staff involved in delivering this programme.
