Dear Ms Lawson

 

I am writing to remind you of your invitation to the above seminar. Please note there is a charge for most delegates, although concessionary and complimentary places are available (subject to terms and conditions - see below).

 

The focus:

• Latest thinking and policy priorities for tackling health inequalities in England; and
• Improving coordination between the NHS, local authorities, the third sector, and other potential partners.

 

Areas for discussion:

• Commissioning - including practical examples of how to use data to measure inequalities and commission services that are fair and accessible;
• New models of care - discussion on integrating services to improve community wellbeing with an expert panel;
• Health and social care devolution - its impact on localised commissioning, service design and regional variation;
• The Social Value Act and the Marmot Review - latest thinking behind using incentives within the system to tackle the social determinants of health inequalities; and
• Republic of Ireland case study - learning from innovative approaches to promoting health equity.

 

Contributors:

• Ruth Passman, Deputy Director for Equality and Heath Inequalities, NHS England;
• Dr Ann Marie Connolly, Deputy Director, Health Equity and Mental Health Division, Public Health England;
• Lord Smith of Leigh, Leader, Wigan Council and Chairman, Health and Wellbeing, Greater Manchester Combined Authority;
• Dr Jessica Allen, Deputy Director, Institute of Health Equity, University College London;
• Dr Ray Earwicker, Lead for Troubled Families, Homelessness and Wider Health Inequalities, Department of Health;
• David Colin-Thomé, Chairman, Primary Care Commissioning; and
• Dr Stephanie O’Keeffe, National Director, Health and Wellbeing, Health Service Executive, Republic of Ireland.

 

Further policymakers due to attend:

Parliamentary pass-holders from both Houses of Parliament and officials from the DCLG; DH; DWP; GLD; HMCTS; NAO; NOMS and ONS.

 

Context:

• The Public Health England Strategic Plan, which sets out how the organisation intends to protect and improve the public’s health and reduce inequalities over the next 4 years;
• University of York publishes new indicators showing local variations in Clinical Commissioning Groups’ performance in tackling health inequalities;
• ONS data on persistent inequalities in health and life expectancies in England;
• The Cities and Local Government Devolution Act which set out some of the accountability structures for health and social care devolution within England; and
• £200 million in savings that the Department of Health will implement across different local authorities, and concerns at how the relative impact of cuts in communities with varying levels of deprivation will affect health inequalities and the pressure on health care services.

 

The draft agenda is copied below my signature, and a regularly updated version is available to download here. The seminar is organised on the basis of strict impartiality by the Westminster Social Policy Forum. Follow us @WSPFEvents for live updates.

Output and About Us

 

A key output of the seminar will be a transcript of the proceedings, sent out around 10 working days after the event to all attendees and a wider group of Ministers and officials at DH, DCLG and other government departments and agencies affected by the issues; and Parliamentarians with a special interest in these areas. It will also be made available more widely. This document will include transcripts of all speeches and questions and answers sessions from the day, along with access to PowerPoint presentations, speakers’ biographies, an attendee list, an agenda, sponsor information, as well as any subsequent press coverage of the day and any articles or comment pieces submitted by delegates. It is made available subject to strict restrictions on public use, similar to those for Select Committee Uncorrected Evidence, and is intended to provide timely information for interested parties who are unable to attend on the day.

 

All delegates will receive complimentary PDF copies and are invited to contribute to the content.

 

The Westminster Social Policy Forum is strictly impartial and cross-party, and draws on the considerable support it receives from within Parliament and Government, and amongst the wider stakeholder community. The Forum has no policy agenda of its own. Forum events are frequently the platform for major policy statements from senior Ministers, regulators and other officials, opposition speakers and senior opinion-formers in industry and interest groups. Events regularly receive prominent coverage in the national and trade press.
