15. Leading Transformation; how do Health and Wellbeing Boards best add value?National Networking Event 9th May 2012 John Wilderspin – National Director Health and Wellbeing Board Implementation

16. What am I going to cover? • The value that Boards can add • The jobs they are required to do • Key relationships (including Healthwatch and NHSCB) • Making a difference • What’s on people’s minds • Supporting development

17. Health and Wellbeing Boards - The Vision • Collective leadership leading to integrated services that better meet individual and community needs • Connect NHS and local government activity, with all public sector spending to improve health and wellbeing of local communities • Genuine practical collaboration between Councils, the NHS and communities, users and the public • Greater democratic legitimacy and accountability to local people • Potential to transform services and outcomes

18. What is the “added value” that Boards can bring? • Collective responsibility for shared leadership • Executive decision makers; • Engaging the public; but also other key stakeholders • Aligning plans and resources • Shared priorities and therefore shared outcomes • Mutuality; holding each other to account to deliver improvements

19. JSNA and joint health and wellbeing strategies; why are these the “core jobs” of Health and Wellbeing Boards? What services do we need to commission (or de-commission), provide and shape, both separately and jointly? – So what are our priorities for collective action, and how will we achieve them together? – JHWS EXPLICIT LINK So what does that mean they need, now and in the future and what assets do we have? – a narrative on the evidence – JSNA What does our population & place look like? – evidence and collective insight HEALTH & WELLBEING BOARD

20. Local and national Healthwatch • Strengthening the voice of patients, users of services and the public and to help achieve this: • Local Healthwatch organisations to be the local consumer voice • Healthwatch England will be a national independent consumer champion • Continuity of existing arrangements: • local authorities will have duty to deliver local Healthwatch • It will continue to be for health and social care • What will be different: • from influence to decision making with a seat on health and wellbeing board. • help individuals as well as understand and present community views • Healthwatch England will be used nationally by Secretary of State, Monitor, NHS Commissioning Board as well as CQC

21. Health and wellbeing boards and the NHS Commissioning Board • Key relationship of HWB is with local clinical commissioning groups • But; they also need to work with the NHS Commissioning Board • As commissioners of primary care and specialist services • As holders of the contract with clinical commissioning groups (eg on authorisation and annual assessments) • With a national role to ensure the NHS delivers better outcomes within available resources • With a shared interest in the Outcomes Frameworks

22. How can Boards make a real and sustainable difference? • A clear purpose and shared priorities • Improved Health and wellbeing outcomes • High quality and well-integrated services • Strong and effective relationships • “Norming, storming and forming”, leading to….. • A genuinely shared leadership approach • Managing the Board’s performance • Clear and agreed outcomes, linked to the Board’s purpose and priorities • Self assessment (effectiveness of relationships as well as delivery of priorities) • Effective governance; • Is not an end in itself; but it is necessary • It is there to ensure the Board is effective, and to ensure they meet any statutory obligations

23. What are Board members currently talking about? (Part 1) Purpose • How can we make a real difference to outcomes, not just services? • Are HWBs mainly about commissioning? Or system leadership? • How do we remain ambititious, and not retreat to the “lowest common denominator”? • Relationships • How to engage stakeholders, including providers, without making everyone a Board member? • How will we build momentum as a Board, when we still have newmembers (e.g. Healthwatch) to incorporate? • How do we learn to appreciate each others’ cultures and strengths, so we can forge a genuinely collective approach?

24. What are Boards currently talking about? (Part 2) • Good Governance • How do we use our formal roles (eg CCG authorisation, JSNA) to develop productive long term relationships? • Maximising joined up working (eg Housing) in 2 tier local authorities • What does a Board decide? What does it delegate? And what does it keep a “weather eye” on/monitor? • Accountability and ensuring we make a real difference • Self assessment for development, as well as public accountability • Balancing short-term “wins” with real strategic change • How do we genuinely involve the public in the debate about e.g. prioritisation, or re-shaping services to meet current day challenges?

25. Implementation; supporting development of shared leadership at a local level • All areas have shadow Boards already; how do we support them to be effective? • Focus on purpose, leadership and behaviours • Need for shared learning to accelerate local progress • Learning through doing; a National Learning Network, bringing together all Boards to learn together how to make health and wellbeing boards a success • Aligning with HealthWatch pathfinders, transition of public health, and support for clinical commissioning groups • Multi “media”; eg themed learning sets, Community of Practice, national events
