The Board considered a report from the Chief Officer for Communities, Public Health, Environment and Prosperity on the performance for the Board, which monitored the priorities identified in the Joint Health and Wellbeing Strategy for Devon 2016-2019.

 

The indicator list and performance summary within the full report set out the priorities, indicators and indicator types, and included a trend line, highlighting change over time.

 

The Board received an ‘updates only’ version of the Health and Wellbeing Outcomes Report.  The report was themed around the five Joint Health and Wellbeing Strategy 2016-19 priorities and included breakdowns by South West benchmarking, local authority district and local authority comparator group, clinical commissioning group, and locality comparison, trend and future trajectories and inequalities characteristics. The indicators below had all been updated since the last report to the Board;

 

·         GCSE Attainment, 2016-17 – 65.0% of year 11 pupils in Devon achieved five or more GCSEs at grades equivalent to A* to C, including English and Maths.  Within Devon, rates were highest in the South Hams and West Devon, with the lowest rates in Teignbridge and East Devon.

·         Teenage Conception Rate, 2016 – Conceptions to under 18s continued to fall in Devon and were broadly similar to South West and comparator group rates. There were no statistically significant differences between Devon’s districts.

·         Alcohol-specific admissions in under 18s, 2016-17 – Approximately 65 admissions occured each year in Devon related to alcohol-specific causes in under 18s. The rate per 100,000 in Devon is 45.5 which was broadly in line with the South West (44.4). However, the rate was significantly above the local authority comparator group (36.9 per 100,000) and England (34.2) rates.

·         Excess Weight in Adults, 2016-17 – 57.4% of the adult population in Devon had a BMI in excess of 25 (Overweight or obese) in 2016-17. This was significantly below the South West (60.3%), the local authority comparator group (61.4%) and England (61.3%) rates.  Within Devon the lowest rates of excess weight were seen in Exeter (54.0%).

·         Proportion of Physically Active Adults, 2016-17 – 73.9% of adults in Devon were physically active for at least 150 minutes per week.  This was above the South West (70.4%) and comparator group (67.6%) and significantly above the national (66.0%) rates.

·         Alcohol-Related Admissions (narrow definition), 2017-18 – There were around 4,900 alcohol-related admissions to hospital for Devon residents between July 2016 and June 2017. The age-standardised admissions rate (606.0 per 100,00) was below the South West, local authority comparator group and England rates.

·         Diet – Fruit and Veg ‘5-a-day’, 2016-17 – In Devon 66.4% of the adult population consumed five or more portions of fruit and vegetables per day.  This was significantly above the South West (63.1%), local authority comparator group (60.6%) and England (57.4%) rates.  Within Devon the highest rates were seen in East Devon (70.9%) and the South Hams (70.4%) and the lowest in Mid Devon (61.4%).

·         Domestic Violence, 2016-17 – Devon had a rate of 14.8 per 1,000, below the South West (18.5), comparator group (19.4) and England  ...  view the full minutes text for item 57.

The Board considered the Report of the Head of Adult Commissioning and Health on the Better Care Fund (BCF), Quarter 4 Return, Performance Report and Performance Summary.

Daily monitoring of delays had been established to identify prevailing issues, alongside an implementation of the system wide plan to tackle delayed transfers of care, which was overseen by the A&E Delivery Boards.

 

Members discussion points included:

The Board considered the Report of the Chief Officer for Communities, Public Health, Environment and Prosperity on the refresh of the Joint Strategic Needs Assessment and Health and Wellbeing Joint Strategy.

 

The draft 2018 JSNA Devon Overview could be found here: http://www.devonhealthandwellbeing.org.uk/jsna/overview/draft-2018/

 

The document provided a summary of the main health and wellbeing challenges in Devon which built upon the challenges identified in previous years, including inequalities gap, an ageing and growing population, a skilled workforce with low earnings, poor mental health, behavioural risk factors, long-term conditions, multi-morbidity and frailty.

 

JSNA Community Profiles 2018 had been updated from stand-alone documents to a new interactive web-based tool. The profiles contained information on population, deprivation, health outcomes and needs, health and care service usage and wider determinants of health such as employment, housing and education. Standard profiles by different area types were available here: http://www.devonhealthandwellbeing.org.uk/jsna/profiles/

 

It was felt that based on the updated JSNA, the priorities in the Strategy remained valid and it was recommended that no update to the Strategy was currently required, pending a full refresh of the Joint Health and Wellbeing Strategy for the period 2019 to 2022.

 

It was MOVED by Councillor Leadbetter, SECONDED by Dr Pearson, and   

 

RESOLVED that the Board approve the proposed Joint Strategic Needs Assessment (JSNA) Devon Overview 2018, noting the introduction of interactive JSNA Community Profiles, and agree that no changes were required to the Joint Health and Wellbeing Strategy 2016-19, pending a full refresh to the Strategy for 2019-22.

Suicide Prevention Strategic Statement pdf icon PDF 68 KB

Report of the Chief Officer for Communities, Public Health, Environment and Prosperity on the Suicide Prevention Strategic Statement, attached.

.

Additional documents:

Minutes:

The Board received a Report from the Chief Officer for Communities, Public Health, Environment and Prosperity on local suicide prevention planning.  The Report noted that suicide prevention required work across a range of settings targeting a wide variety or audiences and as such, the combined knowledge, expertise and resources of organisations across the public, private and voluntary sectors was essential.  No single agency was able to deliver effective suicide prevention alone.

 

The Implementation plan was based upon the seven priority areas laid out in the 2017 update of the national strategy ‘Preventing Suicide in England: Third progress report of the cross-government outcomes strategy to save lives’. These were:

 

·         Reducing the risk of suicide in high risk groups;

·         Tailoring approaches to improve mental health in specific groups;

·         Reducing access to the means of suicide;

·         Providing better information and support to those bereaved or affected by suicide;

·         Supporting the media in delivering sensitive approaches to suicide and suicidal behaviour;

·         Supporting research, data collection and monitoring; and

·         Reducing rates of self-harm as a key indicator of suicide risk.

 

It was MOVED by Councillor Leadbetter, SECONDED by Dr Pearson, and

 

RESOLVED that the Devon Suicide Prevention Strategic Statement be endorsed.

·         North Devon District Council having a target to half the number of street homeless in the area.

 

It was MOVED by Councillor Leadbetter, SECONDED by David Rogers, and
