Local Health and Care Records Exemplar (LHCRE) (HWBB.05.06.2018/7)

Minutes:

The meeting received a report on proposals for a Yorkshire and Humber Health and Care Record Exemplar site bid, and informing the Health and Wellbeing Board of the request that Barnsley Council give its support for this bid.  The proposal was consistent with the work already being undertaken in Barnsley to develop a digital roadmap to establish interoperability of systems across health and social care, which had previously been considered by the Board.  The meeting noted that, if the bid was successful, there would be a need to identify match funding across the region of £7.5m over 2 years. Although the bid would not commit partners to providing that match funding at this stage, it was anticipated that the funding already provided for the digital roadmap could be counted towards this.  Similarly, the element of vanguard funding towards interoperability might also be a source of match funding.

 

RESOLVED that the proposed Yorkshire and Humber Local Health and Care Record Exemplar bid be noted and the Health and Wellbeing Board place on record its support for the Chief Executive of Barnsley Council to write in support of the bid.
