Feedback: Health Improvement Forum (HIF) meeting (27th June 2007)

Feedback on the last Health Improvement Forum (HIF) meeting (27th June 2007)
From Jane Howie, HealthNet Rep.

A HealthNet rep one of the three covering the SHIP/HIF/SHIP FM are to be invited to the upcoming July 11th meeting looking at all ten Sustainable Community Strategy themes, I am willing to attend this.

Stan Kidd said that the idea that there is a Core Value Group is a bit of a misnomer (?) but that the core principles exist implicitly through the themes and that these need to be flagged up. I did mention that HealthNet had thought it was a bit late in the day to bolt on core themes.

Stan was concerned that the consultation that is being undertaken on the SCS does not come across has having preconceived priorities. (which is a bit strange because as far as I can see they have all been decided on!) However, hopefully there will be some scope for comments and suggestions to be added.

At the next meeting of HIF it was decided to look at an issue that crossed several of the themes and worklessness (and healthy places of work) was chosen. This stems across the economic, health and Older peoples themes.

A new standard agenda setting process was agreed that will allow members of HIF the opportunity to determine the agenda (items to be submitted at least 10 days before HIF meetings).

Terms of Reference for HIF were circulated and accepted.

The SHIP chair is to rotate between Nicky Hoyle and Peter Kay.

As well as updates on the 6 Health Priority themes there will be space at future HIF meetings to look at other critical issues.

HIF would really like to see some impact stories –giving an opportunity to show how the money they give out is being spent.
