Report by Head of Strategic Planning and Performance

Minutes:

The Board gave consideration to a report that reviewed the current Public Health projections for the spread of COVID-19 in NHS Highland and the information had been used to provide a modelling update of demand and an assessment of capacity. The report highlighted when and where the current and planned bed capacity did not meet expected demand. The report also reflected considerations of the new normal arising out of the implications of COVID-19 for health and social care.

Decision

The Integration Joint Board –

1. Noted the COVID-19 escalation status update and projections to 31 August 2020.

2. Agreed the look forward planning themes/implications to inform resumption of “business as usual” living with COVID-19.
