Parliamentary Review into Health and Social Care
Report from the Parliamentary Review into Health and Social Care. This report makes strong recommendations to Welsh Government about the direction of travel in relation to Health and Social Care.
The findings were reported at the Regional Partnership Board (RPB) by Carol Shillabeer. It is gratifying to see so much alignment in the recommendations with the Health and Care Strategy which has been produced by us in Powys. There is a strong agreement that Powys is in an advanced position in terms of having worked through some of the recommendations already in our Strategy. The next steps are about the "How" to implement. The RPB will be overseeing the implementation of both the recommendations and the Strategy.
If anyone has any questions about the Health and Care Strategy OR what the Parliamentary Review Recommendations may mean in Powys, please get in touch.

At present there is only 3 % of the population donate blood and they need all the help and support of the communities that they attend to make the collection days a success. The blood service needs to collect 480 units every day to supply the 16 Welsh Hospitals in Wales and at times this can be extremely challenging for us.
They are constantly trying to improve attendance to these clinics.

New Powys Partnership Boards Established
As part of the ongoing work to simplify multi-agency partnerships in Powys and develop the partnership structure of Powys’ Regional Partnership Board (RPB https://tinyurl.com/ybkq9dm2) two new partnership boards have been created and have recently begun work upon their terms of reference and action plans.
· Children and Young People’s Partnership Group – This is in effect a refreshed and restructured version of Powys’ previous Children and Young People’s Partnership (which has been in abeyance for the past 18 months). Its purpose is to lead the collaborative development, delivery and transformation of services for children, young people and their families as set out by the Regional Partnership Board (RPB) and the Public Service Board (PSB).
· Older People’s Partnership Board: This is an entirely new Board that for the first time provides a local partnership body with responsibility to take forward the development and transformation of services for older people.
PAVO is working with partners such as PCC and PTHB to shape the development of these boards and their membership. We anticipate there will be arrangements agreed for third sector, citizen and carers representation upon these boards and further information about this will be circulated to PAVO members shortly.
