Chair's Communications

The Chair of the Board will start the meeting with a short update on recent developments on health and wellbeing.

Minutes:

24.1    The Chair welcomed everyone to this special meeting of the Board. Dr Andrew Hodson was also welcomed to the meeting. He was the newly appointed Chair of the CCG and was also one of the Vice Deputy Chair’s of the Board. In addition Karen Breen was present from the CCG and Jayne Black from the BSUHT in order to assist with the presentation on the local response to the NHS Long Term Plan.

 

24.2    The Chair went on to explain that this special meeting of the Board had been arranged at the request of the CCG to discuss the Sussex Health and Care Plan. Members had been informed at the last meeting of the Board that the submission date for this document was 17 November 2019. The Board’s scheduled meeting dates had been set for the year ahead and it had been clear therefore that if the Board wished to discuss the Plan and to make comments on it that it would need to meet before its next scheduled meeting in order to ensure that any comments could be included in any submission. If the Board had met to discuss this paper too early then Members would not have been able to see the “final draft” document. It was in recognition of those considerations that the special meeting had been arranged. The Chair was grateful to those present for taking time to attend this additional meeting.

 

24.3    RESOLVED – That the position be noted.
