Agenda item

The meeting considered the minutes from the Provider Forum meeting held on 7^th March, 2018.

The meeting noted the focus of the discussion on dementia, and consideration of the contribution made by providers in other partnerships.  The Forum had developed a forward plan of agenda items, and would be considering the Public Health Strategy at a future meeting, but would welcome suggestions from partners as to areas that the Provider Forum should consider.

The meeting discussed the membership of the Forum and attendance by representatives and the need perhaps to give this further consideration.  A particular consideration was the move towards delivery of services at the neighbourhood level, and whether Provider Forums should be built around this geographical configuration.  However, the key consideration in this approach would be whether sufficient capacity existed to support Provider Forums at this level. 

RESOLVED:-

(i)        that the minutes be received; and

(ii)       that the Executive Director Communities and Chair of Provider Forum discuss arrangements for a review of the membership and configuration of the Provider Forum for further consideration.
