NHS), 4.What this means to the VCS.
1. The health challenges in 21st C• Living longer than ever before
– but higher rates of premature deaths compared to EU• Inequalities gap remains challenging
– levelled and in some places reduced– wider causes on inequality remain -poverty, income inequality,
environment, and poor empowerment, low engagement and aspiration especially children and young people
• Lifestyles/ behaviours– Some improvements but still a major cause of disease and
disability• Disability
– long term conditions like diabetes, heart conditions, mental health, high rates, high inequalities and high and unnecessary dependency on hospital emergency care
On preventing premature mortality (ie avoidable deaths before 75), UK does
badly than our peers• Out of 19 similar ranked countries to UK in
Europe and elsewhere• Sweden, Italy, Spain, Norway, NL, Germany, France, Ireland,
Greece, Fin, Belgium, Portugal, Denmark• USA, Canada and Australia
• Heart Disease, 14th
• Lung Cancer , 12th
• Stroke 13th
• Breast cancer 18th
• Other cancers between 16-19th
The lifestyle causes of premature mortality in the UK
Causes of the causes of ill health(eg low income/poverty, housing, environment, education..)

Living with disability (eg poor mobility, mental illness and diabetes): Big variation in quality of life
Impact on public and 3rd sector services
• Rising – costs– demand– expectations– life expectancy but with – years of disability in some areas= inequality– threats to health (pandemics, terrorism)– public sector debt
– system malaise/ lack of democratic accountability/ Francis/Mid Staffordshire/ re-organisations
2. The Future
Recent past and future- WHO
- Alma Ata Declaration- Health For All. 1978. Community health volunteers (as a social movement)
- Ottawa Charter 1986- Marmot (2008)
- UK- Health of the Nation (1992)- Choosing health (2006)- Marmot (2010)
- Rising role of Local Govt and health - LG Act 2000. Duty of Well being, joint NHS-LG Directors of Public Health, JSNA- 2011 Localism Act – role of ‘place’
- Community and user power/ empowerment- 2012 Health and Social Care Act
- Asset based community development (ABCD) - (John McKnight), build on assets rather and plug gaps/needs
- 5 Waves of Public Health
Social Movements: 5 waves of public health since Victorian times
Four waves of public health Hanlon et al/Afternow
Fifth wave: well being, living well
Internal: Self responsibility, MindfulnessExternal: Systems and society, sustainability, cohesion, volunteering,
ACTIVE CITIZENSHIP
3. Understanding the new landscape (Public Health and NHS),
Overview of the changes
• PCTs and SHAs abolished April 2013 • Clinical Commissioning Groups (CCGs) authorised• 80% of commissioning budget managed by CCGs• Remainder (20%) managed by NHS Commissioning Board
– (specialised services, family practitioner services, some public health)
• Public health responsibilities transfer to Local Authorities, who are also responsible for HealthWatch locally
• Health and Wellbeing boards to develop – Joint Strategic Needs Assessment and – Joint Health and Wellbeing Strategy, co-ordinate work on public
health, social care and health services
Public Health Landscape in Yorkshire and Humber
• 15 Local Authorities with DsPH and teams ‘local authorities to use their new responsibilities and
resources to put health and wellbeing at the heart of everything they do’
‘health in all policies’
• One PHE Centre. – ‘front door of PHE’– Director: Dr Stephen Morton
• Part of PHE North Region. Director: Paul Johnstone
The geographical distribution of Public Health England
PHE Centres(Duncan Selbie Feb 2013)
• Front door of PHE
• Will assure services and expertise provided are truly focused on local needs. – information and intelligence– support commissioning – Services for health protection, communications
• ‘Director is– a full partner in the local public health system, – which includes the voluntary and community sector, ‘
• Each Centre will provide leadership and support across all three domains of public health – health protection, health improvement and healthcare public health. This will include
– supporting local government in their leadership of the local public health system; – supporting DsPH to access specialised advice and support; – working with NHS Commissioning Board to support it in its role as a direct commissioner of key
services, including specialist services and national public health programmes; – and providing leadership in responding to emergencies where scale is necessary.
PHE Regions • Are co-terminus with those of the NHS CB and
other national partners and they also happily map onto the nine regional local government groupings.
• will nurture, assure and support the local public health system and maintain an overview of the whole system’s progress in implementing the Public Health Outcomes Framework.
• They will have a special responsibility for workforce development and we will be publishing our strategy for this in March.
Health and wellbeing boards• Vehicle for councillors,
commissioners and communities to shared leadership of local health and care systems, and to work with wider partners to address the determinants of health, and better the health and wellbeing outcomes of the people in their area.
• Key roles:– develop a Joint Strategic Needs
Assessment (JSNA) for the locality
– agree a joint heath and wellbeing strategy ensure individual commissioning plans (health, public health and social care) align with the joint heath and wellbeing strategy
Statutory minimum membership:
• At least one elected member• A representative from each clinical
commissioning group (CCG)• A representative from HealthWatch• The Director of Public Health (DPH)• The Director of Adult Social Services
(DASS)• The Director of Children’s Services
(DCS)
Real work goes on in groups beneath the statutory board
4. What this means to the VCS Personal views
- As providers- As Strategic community partners, champions
and co-producers
My messages to the VCS as providersThe days of grants are over – it is all about commissioning
• Organise yourselves so you have the support/infrastructure to be able to tender for business – (eg Wakefield via the web http://wakefieldwellbeing.org.uk/)
• You will be required to give performance reports to the commissioner – ensure that targets you agree are challenging but realistic (under-promise and over-deliver!)
• Demonstrate how you add social value – it is now a legal requirement on commissioners to include social value in their assessments (http://www.navca.org.uk/social-value-bill). VCS may need to remind commissioners of this. VCS should have a big advantage over other providers in this regard.
My messages to VCS as providers-2• Establish a dialogue with commissioners
– How can VCS tender to have a fair chance? • outcomes based commissioning, payment by results and large contracts can all
disadvantage small community groups – Contact commissioners , your DPH or Health and Wellbeing Boards chair.
• Partner with another statutory/other providers in tendering – this creates a win-win-win. – VCS may be more likely to get the business, statutory providers able to
demonstrate social return and commissioners get a better, more integrated service.
• Glass half full! Even in the face of huge cutbacks there are opportunities through commissioning to get business. – Eg all public health contracts (~£15m) in Wakefield will be reviewed over the
next 3 years with a view to re-tendering. • More guidance being developed
– Eg NW and Oxford Brookes and NW (web link. ..)– DH supported learning sites

My messages to VCS as strategic partners
• Organise your organisation’s role for the local ‘place’ to be the champion and advocate (ideally separately from provider role)
• Engage with HealthWatch• Build alliances with the new Health Team and others in the
council.• You are or have access to communities and community
structures and have invaluable knowledge and intelligence for PH and healthcare. Promote this as advocates researchers and lobbyists.
• Engage as a co producer, in the process of formulating the JSNA, to planning the Local health and wellbeing strategy, to promoting and using it.
My messages to statutory sector (Councils, NHS)
1. Openly invite VCS to join HWWB public meetings (eg York)2. Use your Health and Wellbeing Board and Strategy as a social
movement- not just consult but actively ‘co produce’.3. Engage VCS through every opportunity, healthwatch, scrutiny, etc4. For Foundation NHS trusts and providers -develop your memberships
with VCS and its role in place (employer, investor and procurer). 5. For CCGs/ commissioners, be a ‘place player’, be proud of your
contribution to your town, city or area.6. For CCGs use you DPH as your ambassador in LG and on HWWB to
engage with VCS7. Healthwatch should develop its relationship with local VCS– they will be
key in your role of the public’s advocate and have access to local intelligence
8. Make all health data accessible to public and VCS, esp JSNAs, NHS performance and quality of care.
Finally
• Dialogue with 3 Northern Regions VCS organisation to further support ‘who’s who’ and what we can to do help.

HEALTH & WELLBEING BOARD
What services do we need to commission (or de-commission), provide and shape; both separately and
jointly? – commissioning plans
What does our population & place look like? –evidence and collective insight
So what does that mean they need, now and in the future and what assets do we have? – a narrative on the evidence - the JSNA
So what are our priorities for collective action, and how will we achieve them together? – the JHWS
What are we doing now, how well is it working and how efficient is it? - a analysis on our progress
Engagement with users and
the public
Explicit link from evidence to
service planning
JSNAs and joint health and wellbeing strategies – tools for shared leadership
HWB provides forum for repositioning JSNA as truly jointly owned and leading to joint commissioning decisions to serve the whole population.
The intention of JSNA is to link local needs with commissioning decisions – by adding the layer of the JHWS this link is being made easier for local areas to understand.
