Recommendations
The Executive is asked to discuss their aspirations for how progress can be made within existing powers to move forward on health and care reform within 2015/16. In particular, the Executive is asked to:
1. agree a common aspiration that all London’s Health and Wellbeing Boards should strengthen themselves and increase their effectiveness as system leaders for locally driven health and care reform within 2015/16 and that London Councils’ should refresh the stocktake of London Boards at the end of the year;
2. agree that London Councils should develop, as far as possible jointly with London’s CCGs, a call to government to clarify the approach to BCF in 2016/17 before the summer, putting forward a series of proposals intended to deliver the aspirations outlined in this paper; and
3. agree a common aspiration to seek the establishment of effective sub-regional partnership working between boroughs and the NHS in London within 2015/16 and that London Councils should do some work with chief executives to support this and draw out broad models.
