REASONS RESOLVED:

1.    In June 2022 Members agreed the Live Your Best Life ambitions and the new ICN Operating Model which are the fundamental building blocks of the draft ICN Strategy.

2.    In July 2022 the systemwide Strategy Development Board (SDB) took on the responsibility to produce the draft ICN Strategy. The members of the SDB include representatives from both West and North Local Authorities, Northamptonshire Healthcare Foundation Trust, University Hospitals Northamptonshire, Integrated Care Board, Voluntary Community and Social Enterprise, General Practice, Pharmacy, Healthwatch, Public Health and supported by communications and engagement colleagues. Given the range of stakeholder involvement in the development of the draft ICN Strategy throughout the production period, all partners should endorse and commit to the 10 ambitions and delivery of their associated outcomes described in the document.

3.    The draft ICN Strategy sets out the long-term vision, ambitions, outcomes framework and the ICN Operating Model and how they all interconnect to support successful integrated working.

4.    Metrics in the form of a scorecard for each ambition are currently in development and although don’t form part of the final ICN Strategy will help inform the delivery plans included in the Health & Wellbeing Strategy and the ICB 5 Year Joint Forward Plan. Measurement and reporting against the agreed metrics will demonstrate whether delivery of the outcomes included in the ICN Strategy are achieving success or whether activities and resources need to be refocused. An annual report will be presented to cabinet to evidence the progress against the strategy and the associated outcomes.

5.    The WNC Corporate Strategy should be further enhanced in its delivery by WNC’s commitment to the delivery of the ICN strategy. There are opportunities in relation to WNC services working to the Local Area Partnership (LAP) footprints.
