The Clinical Commissioning Group Barking and Dagenham (CCG) presented the report which gave an indication of the CCG’s local requirements and how those fitted into the wider context.  The Boards attention was drawn to the work that had been undertaken by the Sub–Groups of the Board in ensuring that the delivery plans of the various partners converge and would be achieved. 

The Chair commented that the working relationships had matured between the partners and they were now able to participate in full and frank discussion and to embrace partnership working and different methods of working.

The Board were shown a short video of a stakeholder event that had been held on the 12 January 2015 and it was explained how different media had and would be used to engage the public in consultation and feedback on service delivery.

Chief Superintendant Sultan Taylor commented that he would be happy for his teams to participate and engage in events, especially public facing events.  Anne Bristow thanked the Chief Superintendant for the offer and the officers would contact him in regards to the various events that are coming up in 2015.

Dr Mohi stressed that the CCG were now focusing on what patients need and want and not what suits individual organisations.
