4 / Beating physical inactivity in Hart
Julie Amies, Chief Executive, Energise Me (previously Sport Hampshire & IOW), gave a presentation about tackling physical inactivity in Hart.
New data analysis has been carried out to inform development of a Hampshire Beating Inactivity strategy which will put forward a whole system approach.
Questions and discussions included:
- The new data analysis highlights populations in Hartwhere there is a need to tackle inactivity levels and rising inactivity trends including women (particularly ages 35-44), disabled people and those with long term conditions, NS SEC 1-4 (inactivity level rising), big inequality between socioeconomic groups
- How to bring about change
- Community led involvement helps change
- Funding tends to follow social deprivation which means a lack of funding opportunities in Hart
- Big inequality gaps in the Hart area
- Motivation of individuals and communities
- Creating opportunities – not one solution fits all
- Active 10 - NHS developed App – registering your activity (active 10 minutes of moderate exercise)
- Are we working in areas of the districtwhere the leisure centres are less accessible e.g. Western parishes? Liz explained that HDC, HVA and Energise Me are working in partnership to engage local sports clubs and physical activity providers on the subject of tackling inactivity and that Everyone Active will be outreaching more into communities and then bringing people back into the Leisure Centre
5 / Fleet Healthcare Infrastructure
Adrian Wheeler, Estates Advisor, North East Hampshire & Farnham CCG, gave an update on the NEHants & Farnham health estates strategy. Main points included:
- In 2015 CCGs and providers were tasked with looking at the estates strategy to reflect new models of care for the future. Ambitious, national timescale by end of 2015 which the CCG met.
- The CCG consists of five localities Farnham (Waverley), Farnborough and Aldershot (Rushmoor), Yateley and Fleet (Hart). New models of care include more locally-based integrated care.
- The health infrastructure (community hospitals, primary care etc) within those localities was looked at, with the focus around what the buildings did, using 5 criteria for assessment including availability, accessibility, suitability, sufficiency, affordability.
- The CCG has assessed the estate in those terms and is using this to come up with a plan to develop and improve the estate
- The CCG has worked closely with local authorities including HDC around the Local Plan development
- The estates strategy says there is a need toexpand the health estate across the CCG area to meet expected population growth.
- Integrated care services are being developed in each of the 5 localities. In Yateley a dental suite at Oakley Health has been converted into an urgent/integrated care hub.
- A feasibility/options appraisal of sites has been carried out in Fleet and a number of options wereruled out includingremodelling the old Police building and building a new facility on the disused Park & Ride site at Elvetham Heath. The strategy in Fleet will be to build capacity in the existing 4 practices and the CCG is working with each practice on applying for minor improvement grants. The CCG recognises that Fleet Community Hospital has constraints in terms of transport and parking and needs updating. The CCG will work with partners to remodel the community hospital over time and a Sustainability & Transformation Partnership bid has been made to support investment.
- Looking at local plans, when new housing developed S106 commitment to provide money by developers to contribute to future healthcare – Hartland Park etccould deliver over £1m of S106 funding
SC declared an interest at this stage as he is a GP at Branksomewood Healthcare Centre.
Discussion was around:
- Synergyacross CCGs now that there is apartnership between 4 CCGs in Hampshire – AW reported that there is increasing joint working particularly with North Hants CCG around GP catchments and population growth
- SF requested that there be wider engagement with Councillors, not just Planning Officers,as they are aware of the pressures within their wards etc. AW and SF to discuss outside the meeting.
- Focus on improving the infrastructure we already have
- JA asked whether there is potential for multi-purpose facilities linking leisure, primary care etc. AW reported that this has been looked at and there is some potential at Fleet Community Hospital within constraints.
6 / Any Other Business
LG agreed to bring forward the physical activity issues. Members agreed the data was important and we now need to look at how we make it happen. JA suggested that next meeting look at some of the suggested tactics for tackling physical inactivity which will form part of the strategy.
JL suggested looking at the young person’s mental health strategy / LG
