He noted that with the swine flu incidence, there are several measures that are required to assist the NHS in responding to the potential impact of a pandemic situation and as a result the regulations have to be changed or amended. Therefore, the board would need to approve the changes and delegate responsibility to the Chief Executive or Finance Director to enable the changes to the Medicines Act if this was necessary. Dr N Waskett confirmed that the NHS Department for Health has also developed four protocols for the supply and administration for the antiviral for the pandemic influenza and the board are requested to authorise the Chief Executive or Finance Director to sign off the adaptations of the protocols if this was necessary.

Mr M Thomas explained that the Health Community position was summarised on page 4 of the Finance report. The following key points were highlighted: The agreed Control Total/Negative reserve at the start of the year had been reduced from 30.3m to 24.1m which equated to a 6.2m reduction. The variance against plan at Month 4 was 8.2m, which if extrapolated for the full year broadly equated to the Negative reserve balance of 24.1m At Month 4 the Health Community was still forecasting a break even position for the full year. However, there was a very significant risk that that this position may not be achieved for 2009/10. Mr Thomas also noted that in terms of year to end date deficits and forecast positions, the Health Community was not an outlier compared to other areas. In terms of the RCT tlhb position, Mr Thomas noted that the key issues at month 4 were summarised on page 5 of the report. Resolved: The Board noted the contents of this report. 4.2 Performance Report Quarter /10 Page 8 of 13

This showed 5 targets as green, 15 amber, 4 red and 2 as information not currently available. As expected at this stage of the year the majority of the targets were amber. In terms of the 4 red targets brief comments were provided in the report. Section 4 of the report also highlights a further 7 targets which are considered to be at risk of changing to Red later in the year.

Forey commented that it had been a very well conducted event and was well received by all in attendance. Resolved: Board Members noted the content of the report 5.3 Health, Social Care & Wellbeing Annual Report 2008/09 SS provided Board Members with a summary of progress and achievements made by the RCT Health, Social Care & Well-being Partnership in 2008/09.

Whilst there was no requirement to produce an annual report for 2008/09 the RCT Health, Social Care & Well-being Partnership felt it was good practice to do so.
