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 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:

·         Mortality rate from preventable causes, 2015-2017 – the age-standardised mortality rate in Devon (161.03 per 100,000) was below the South West and significantly lower than the comparator group and England rates. However, the rate of decline had slowed in recent years.

·         Reablement Services (Effectiveness), 2016-17 – In Devon, 82.6% of older people were still at home 91 days after discharge from hospital into reablement services, which was similar to the South West, comparator group and national rates.

·         Reablement Services (Coverage), 2017-18 – In 2017-18, 1.8% of older people discharged from hospital in Devon were offered reablement services which was significantly lower than the South West, comparator group and national rates.
