Y Newyddion Diweddaraf gan Gynrychiolydd o’r Bwrdd Gwasanaethau Cyhoeddus ynghylch gwaith parhaus i ddarparu gwasanaeth yn erbyn Cynllun Llesiant Cwm Taf 2018-2023

Derbyn y newyddion diweddaraf am waith y Bwrdd yn dilyn cyflwyno argymhellion y Cydbwyllgor.

 

Cofnodion:

The PSB Senior Support Officer, Kirsty Smith, provided Members with an update on the ongoing work of the Board to deliver against the Cwm Taf Wellbeing Plan 2018-2023.

 

Members were advised that the PSB Chair, Mark Brace, sends his apologies but has worked with the PSB Support Team to prepare this update.

 

Members were advised about the future focus of the PSB as follows:

 

·       PSB last met in July and the agenda was very much looking forward, both in terms of returning focus to the current Well-being Plan and Objectives and the work to undertake the next statutory assessment of well-being to be published in May 2022.

·       When the PSB Chair last met with JOSC, we as a Board were rightly challenged about not having workplans in place to be scrutinised and challenged. We are pleased to report that, in line with the PSB delivery year, delivery plans have been written for July 2021 – June 2022

·       These were presented to PSB in July and have been included in the information reports for this meeting. We would welcome any questions or comments on these plans, these can be given through Lisa and Kirsty.

·       The Board also considered the findings of a review of mental health provision carried out earlier this year and had a brief discussion about mental health as a future priority for the Board, linked to the work of the Assessment and Plan.

·       These discussions took place in the context of a regional Health Foundation Event on 12 July looking at inequalities, and the interesting and informative discussions had at the session about the Assessment work, working with citizens and our communities to agree priority areas of focus and jointly agree how to tackle them.

·       The PSB published its Annual Report in July 2021 as scheduled and in line with our statutory duty. The report provides an overview of the work of the Board over the last year against the five ways of working and discusses the impact that Covid has had on the ability of the PSB and capacity of its Members. It also outlines our future plans regarding the Assessment and the remainder of the current Well-being Plan, 2018-2023.

 

 

Discussion continued and Members were advised about the Well-being Assessment and Regional Working:

 

Members were told that the PSB needs to undertake an assessment of well-being to be published in May 2022. This will be a joint assessment with Bridgend PSB, resulting in one Cwm Taf Morgannwg Wellbeing Assessment. The following points were noted:

·       As previously mentioned, we also intend to collaborate with the Regional Partnership Board as much as possible. They need to undertake and publish a Population Needs Assessment by April 2022 so resources, intelligence, information and opportunities for involvement will be shared as much as possible.

·       Cwm Taf and Bridgend PSBs were successful in applying for a 5-year support package with  Co-Production Network Wales, one of only 3 chosen in Wales. Given the tight timescale and statutory requirements around the production of  ...  view the full Cofnodion text for item 10.
