Decision details

The Government is sponsoring the passage of the Health and Care Bill through Parliament. The Bill when enacted will have implications for the delivery of health services nationally and locally and is intended to improve the integration between health and care services as a minimum.

This paper will describe some of the key outputs of the Bill as they effect the Council particularly the formation of Integrated Care Systems to replace Clinical Commissioning Groups and the statutory basis for their activity.

The Isle of Wight will be within the remit of the Hampshire and Isle of Wight Integrated Care System with the potential for a ‘place’ based Isle of Wight health and care partnership. The paper will consider what that partnership might look like and its impact on the existing Isle of Wight Integrated Care Partnership (ICP).

This paper recommends options (a) and (d) and that the council:

Explores the potential for forming a place based joint committee for the delivery of NHS services and Isle of Wight Council Services on the Isle of Wight, on the basis of delegating responsibility for the delivery of Better Care Fund activities to the joint committee in the first instance.

AND

Looks to abolish the Isle of Wight Integrated Care Partnership at the point that a new Local Place Based Partnership is established for the Isle of Wight by the Hampshire and Isle of Wight Integrated Care System.
