Mrs Gilling also highlighted the Winterbourne Case Review and the implications for Perth & Kinross and the lessons that can be learned from the incident. 4
The Committee felt that movement was going in the right direction and the same transformation that had been made around Child Protection was also required for adults. It was also suggested that as Health continued to be the lowest referrer of Adult Protection issues that an identified lead person may be required to lead on this and carry out a scoping exercise in the first instance. The Committee noted the progress made in taking forward the Adult Support and Protection agenda in Perth & Kinross and agreed to support the recommendations contained in the report. It was also agreed that Bill Nicoll and Grace Gilling would look at the issues raised around incident reporting. Strategic Planning & Development Manager 5.4 Health & Social Care Integration Bill Nicoll Report No 5/13 Mr Bill Nicoll updated the Committee on the progress of the Scottish Government s proposals to integrate Health and Social Care Services. The Scottish Government last week published the results of it s consultation process. This outlined that all adult care services will be included in the integration but work would commence focussing on Older Peoples Services. One of the most radical proposals from the Government is around the single accountable officer which will be responsible for the integrated services. At a local level a Transition Board, chaired by Mr Sandy Watson, has been established to develop a route map which will set out the key elements that need to be planned for. Progress is being made towards collocating service management teams into 2 High Street which will help in the establishment and development of integrated locality teams. The Committee noted the progress to date in terms of preparation for future integration of Adult Health & Social Care. 6.

There were no amendments to declare. 7. PERFORMANCE 7.1 Financial Report at January 2013 Mr Sandy Berry Report No 6/13 Mr Sandy Berry provided the Committee with un update on the CHPs financial position at the end of January 2013. The current position would indicate a projected 53K underspend at the year end which given the difficulties experienced over the course of the year was quite a significant achievement. Mr Berry indicated that traditionally the CHP had overspent against its HCHS budget and this had been brought into balance through Prescribing efficiencies however, this situation had now been reversed. 5
The Committee discussed the issue of prescribing and the impact this was having on the budget, Mrs Karen Melville indicated that an increased number of items being dispensed seemed to be the main cause and that was linked to the introduction of free prescriptions. Mrs Sheila Tunstall-James left the meeting at this point. 7.2 Perth & Kinross CHP Performance Report January 2013 Ms Alison Wood Report No 7/13 Miss Alison Wood outlined the CHPs performance report which, as requested by the Committee, was contained in an improved format which gave better graphic information.
