  1. Local Councils, Public Involvement and PH Priorities Liam Hughes Networkidea

  2. Outline of presentation • The new landscape for councils and public services • Prioritizing public health improvement • The Oldham story • Health and Wellbeing Boards • Building Health and Wellbeing Strategies • Example – “Warm Homes Oldham”

  3. The new public services landscape • Austerity – driver for change • New relationships across the public realm - Public Service Reform - Health and Wellbeing Boards • New relationships between local people and the local state • Public involvement – virtue and necessity!

  4. Prioritizing public health • Size and scope of problem • Interdependencies of causes • Impact/cost-effectiveness • Strength of evidence • Impact on health and wellbeing • Speed of impact • Reducing health inequalities and • Public perspective (Kings Fund)

  5. The Oldham Story • “Oldham is broken!”: – we need to fix it together! • A co-operative council and citizen involvement: - design, implementation, evaluation • Devolution and district partnerships • Strong partnerships: – local and Greater Manchester

  6. Involving local people- mechanisms • Co-operative Commission • Public Services Board • 6 District Partnerships • 6 CCG Clusters • 4 Partnership Boards • Oldham Council and CCG • Voluntary Action Oldham

  7. Involving Oldham People- methods • On-line dialogue with council • Members as sounding-boards and champions • Surveys, focus groups, workshops, community events, web events, rapid appraisal, ABCD… • Less well served groups (carers, mental ill health, people out of touch with GPs…) • Partners and council together

  8. Building the Health and Wellbeing Strategy • Voluntary Action Oldham and VCF Partners • Health Commissions for Greater Manchester and Oldham • Council and CCG priorities • JSNA and DPH reports • Stakeholder events • District partnerships • Healthwatch • The HWB Members

  9. Oldham`s Health and Wellbeing Strategy • Choosing the strategic framework: - people, places and PH practices • 3 phases of life-course: - best start in life - learning, living and working well - ageing well and later life care • 3 themes: - jobs/food/warm homes

  10. Warm Homes Oldham- a joint investment agreement • Identified as a major issue in all consultations: - 14000+ households • Strong evidence about what works for fuel poverty – what about health? • Oldham Council, CCG and Oldham Housing Investment Partnership: - £200k with incentives for year 2 • Target 1000 people out of fuel poverty • Positive evaluation of ROI is emerging

  11. Jobs and Food Staying in work Growing food Ready for work Cooking Procurement Eating well (Working in catering)

  12. Some issues for Boards • This is a complex, adaptive system • Choosing priorities is hard to do • Big ticket items gain widespread support, less-common items are more difficult • Trade-offs and marginal decisions are problematic and decommissioning is difficult • Reconciling people and places can be tricky • Is the HWB the agent for public involvement, or should it work through existing mechanisms?
