Presentation by Director of Place – Middlesbrough and Redcar, North East and North Cumbria Integrated Care Board

The Director, North East & North Cumbria Integrated Care Board submitted a presentation (previously circulated) updating Members on the Clinical Services Strategy.

It was reported that the Clinical Strategy aimed to continue to build on the work started under the Better Health Programme; the programme remained focused on the improvement and sustainability of acute hospital services; and that the wider partnership approach had been key to ensure service proposals were embedded within the agreed governance.

The presentation outlined the aims and objectives of the strategy; details were provided of the different workstreams and the workstream achievements over the last 18 months; and that moving forward, work was continuing within each of the clinically led workstreams to reconfirm the strategic intent, detail next steps and ensure sufficient and appropriate capacity to support work progression.

The ICB would continue to provide updates to this Scrutiny Committee in relation to developments and progress with the strategy.
