LOCAL AUTHORITY CONTRIBUTION ...
1. Awaiting guidance from central government on a final allocation for Healthwatch and we shall use this figure to set an indicative budget for HealthWatch Camden for April 2013 – March 2015.
2. Not yet agreed
3. A Healthwatch Community Development Officer was recruited in November 2011 to support the LINk during the transition period. The officer’s main roles are to engage with the local community to inform the development of LHW; to support the LINk’s transition to HealthWatch by supporting volunteers to develop the necessary skills and capacity required for HealthWatch’ to work with the users of health and social care, carers and with the whole community to maintain effective public involvement in the commissioning and delivery of health and social care. In addition, the officer has been providing administrative support to the LINk. From April 2012, the administrative support role will be provided by a part-time Camden LINk Administrator, who will be available up to the end of the transition period.
4. One member of the LINk is on the Health and Wellbeing Board.
5. A workshop was held in December 2011 to provide opportunity to discuss the feedback on what a successful Healthwatch might look like in Camden, and the types of things it would need to do. A second workshop was held in February 2012, to reflect on the feedback so far, and to begin the conversations on what HealthWatch Camden look like and how it will carry out its tasks. A third workshop is due to be held in the coming months to discuss a more worked-up model of HealthWatch that will be commissioned in Camden, based on the conversations with the public from the previous workshops. Aside from the workshops described above, there have also
been opportunities to feedback views online and in separate meetings with a number of different user groups in the borough.
