Decisions:
Councillor Joy Aitman, Executive Member for Stronger, Healthy Communities, introduced the report, which presented the new Integrated Care Strategy for Buckinghamshire, Oxfordshire and Berkshire West (BOB) and resolved to seek endorsement by the Executive.
In debate, it was highlighted that the report on the strategy did not include any provision for the mental health and well-being of those who are serving, and had served in His Majesty’s Armed Forces. Attention was drawn to the provision that service personnel receive whilst they are serving in the military, and that the ‘blanket of care’ is taken away when leaving HM Armed Forces. This was of particular importance as the Council had signed up to the Armed Forces Covenant.
It was further noted that the strategy also did not take Prostate Cancer into account, and that this is a well-known, often overlooked killer of men within society. Reassurance was given that this was noted generally, as a result of an extensive list of illnesses not being included.
Councillor Aitman proposed endorsement of the new Integrated Care Strategy for Buckinghamshire, Oxfordshire and Berkshire West (BOB ICS). This was seconded by Councillor Mathew Parkinson, was put to a vote, and was agreed unanimously by the Executive.
Executive Resolved to:
1. Endorse the Integrated Care Strategy for Buckinghamshire, Oxfordshire and Berkshire West (BOB ICS).
