3 Robert started by giving some background in relation to the Board wide re-organisation of Allied Health Services (Podiatry, Dietetics, Physiotherapy) services. The local Podiatry service is now part of a quadrant model covering North West Sector and West Dunbartonshire. The quadrant is split into 2 teams Audrey Murdoch is the North West Team Leader and is based in Community Centre for Health, Partick. There has not been a clinical re-organisation of podiatry services and Robert agreed that in some areas there are still problems accessing podiatry services. Work needs to be done on improving relationships and working together to develop and improve the services and it is hoped in the future to a provide a better service which has equal and consistent access and care MA raised a concern regarding the reduction of managers and asked why during a management re structure resulting in a change in personnel, was information not passed on in order to minimise disruption to services. Robert advised that in the Progression Plan one of the recurring themes over the last 15 years was access services. In implementing the plan one of important roles is to engage, listen and take away concerns. Robert reassured MA that if he left tomorrow someone could take over. Some of the issues raised by the meeting were an automated system can be a problem for someone with a visual impairment; Sandy Road telephone number is engaged a lot of the time; there is limited times to call to make an appointment at many of the bases and there is a 2 tiered system of access comparing North with West ie the Podiatry call centre can take new referrals from West but for people living in the North it can take new referrals and make an appointments. Robert advised that there was limited administrative support and resources through out North West Sector and this is one of the areas being looked at. For example it may make sense to reduce the number of days and times to make appointments and concentrate all our resources. Robert advised JG that the Podiatry call centre was not part of NHS 24 system but linked to the Out of Hours Service for GP s which operates from 6.00pm to 8.00am. The Podiatry call centre was developed in order to utilise this resource during the day hours and that he was looking at this resource and service. MA asked why an automated call back system is not implemented. Robert emphasised that the age of the majority of the podiatry service clients were older and like to speak to a real person but that they are looking into utilising all forms of media to make appointments. Robert agreed to alter all the information and publicity materiel to include a fax number in the future. KW asked if the home visiting service was going to improve as she waited 25 weeks for an initial appointment. Robert agreed that this length of time was unacceptable would look in to it at the end of the meeting. RS asked what is happening to Plean Street. EB advised that the Sector

4 was looking at all options of making better use of Plean Street as Glasgow Dental Hospital no longer had a long term interest in it. Any changes to use of Plean Street needed to be cost neutral and as the building was designed for a dental service the gas and under floor water was a consideration. It is still hoped that a Dental Practice is going to move into the ground floor. The top floor is office space and the Sector is looking how to make best use of this, for example, Learning Disability teams don t have clinical space. 3 NHS GG & Clyde Clinical Service Review (Evelyn Borland, Head of Planning and Performance) EB gave a full presentation on Fit for the Future (presentation attached) and finished by detailing the 7 review workstreams and the request for PPF volunteers for each of the groups interest to MS. MS Evelyn highlighted that Alex McKenzie and Dr Margaret Roberts (Geriatric Clinical Lead) was leading on the Older People workstream and that RS is the one of the vice chairs. EB advised that Population Health workstream was looking at health trends and long term changes. The Health Board as looking at all options to improve services including tele-care and tele-health. For example Dumfries and Galloway make good use of new technology due to the rural setting but new technology could be used in an urban setting as well. JG explained telecare is a term used to describe using new technology in the caring and health services ie internet consultation and diagnosis, monitors and alarms in homes, personal alarms etc DH and RS worried that the increase in new technology would mean a reduction in jobs. EB advised patients in the future are going to have to be more responsible for their own health and supported to manage their health conditions but with some patient groups, who often have chaotic lifestyles, this can be quite difficult to achieve. Members queried if the role of GP was diminishing for example private companies determining if a person is fit for work or not. EB advised that GPs would be involved in this review. AMcD felt GP s need to know more about dialysis and have time to talk to patients. LA expressed concerns about care being determined by economics and not health needs. EB agreed that there will be challenges in the future. 4 City Wide PPF Meeting 2 July 2012(May Simpson, CEDO) MS advise the citywide PPF meeting was scheduled for Monday 2 July 2012 in John Wheatley College - Haghill Campus and would focus on the Consultation Paper Integration of Adult Health and Social Care in Scotland 5 Equality Monitoring (May Simpson, CEDO) MS reminded PPF members to complete and return the Equalities monitoring form.
