a)    BCF Performance and Outline Plan – Sam Tilley, Head of Planning and Partnerships, Shropshire CCG, presented a report – copy attached to the signed minutes – on the Better Care Fund Quarter 3 Performance report.  The positive direction of travel of BCF Performance and scheme activity was generally welcomed by the Board.  It was requested that a specific item on Delayed Transfer of Care be made to a future meeting of the Board.  The group discussed that information such as flow in and out of hospital (dashboard presented to the A&E Delivery Group) was available but it was not necessarily coming to the Board’s attention.  In future it was agreed this should also be reported to the Board and that accountability for metrics was required.  Shropshire Council Chief Executive said that extra funding coming to local authorities for social care was welcome, but the detail of how that money was to be used was not yet known.  Undoubtedly resources would have to be used widely and Mr Wright said he was happy to write to Mark Lloyd at the LGA as a point in evidence of this.

RESOLVED:  That subject to the foregoing the report be noted and the current position in relation to BCF planning fpr 2017/18 to 2018/19 be noted.
