Winter Plan 2015/16
Mr Smith presented the paper on the Winter Plan 2015/16 and introduced Ms Christina Cameron, Programme Manager.
NHS Grampian develops a Winter Plan each year with the aim of minimising the impact of potential increases in activity during the Winter period. The plan is developed in the context of the wider unscheduled care programme and is reviewed each year in advance of the preparation of the plan for the following Winter.
Planning for the 2015/16 Winter Plan started in May 2015. The planning was influenced by the letter from the Cabinet Secretary in July 2015 which provided further guidance on the engagement of shadow Integration Joint Boards (IJBs), the impact on elective care services and the continued focus on reducing delayed discharges.
The Chairman thanked Christine Cameron and the team for all their hard work in preparing the plan.
  • The Board approved the final draft of the integrated Grampian Winter Plan for formal submission to the Scottish Government
  • The Board Noted that the allocation of Winter funding from the Scottish Government confirmed by letter on 1 October 2015 would be targeted at augmenting Grampian’s local investment in Winter resilience

4 / Date of Next Meeting
The next Board Meeting will be held on the 3 December 2015 at CLAN, 120 Westburn Road, Aberdeen
