Recommendations
The Leaders Committee is asked to discuss how progress can be made within existing powers to move forward on health and care reform within 2015/16 and, in particular, to:
1. agree that all London’s Health and Wellbeing Boards should be strengthened as system leaders for locally driven health and care reform during 2015/16 and that London Councils’ should refresh the stocktake of London Boards at the end of the year;
2. agree to establish effective sub-regional arrangements between boroughs and the NHS in London during 2015/16 and note that a project that the Capital Ambition Board has agreed in principle to fund should be developed to support this;
3. commit to working with local partners to secure a significant further step change in integration to deliver on London Councils core principles for the Better Care Fund in 2016/17; and
4. that progress around the capital on each of these goals for the current financial year should be reported back to Leaders’ Committee regularly.
