Norfolk and Waveney Integrated Care System 1 September 2023   Norfolk and Waveney ICS update     Free antenatal support now available on the WOW bus On Monday 4 September the WoW Bus (Wellness on Wheels) is out and about and making a stop in Lowestoft for a dedicated parent and carer event. This free event is a ‘drop-in’ opportunity for all parents and carers who want to know more about the early years of parenting which will support children to flourish. After the success of the first event, the WoW bus will be making another stop and will focus on the following topics: Pelvic health Feeding your baby Stop smoking Meeting Maternity Voices Partnership Meet the Midwife Contraception Finding your local health services Keeping your baby happy and healthy This is a free drop-in event, so if you are around, do come and hop on board! The bus began its journey back in October 2021, supporting the COVID-19 vaccination of our homeless community across Norfolk and Waveney. It was hugely successful and well received across local communities. The roving bus has now evolved into WOW bus, with a particular focus on wellness. The WOW Bus has been developed in partnership with Norfolk Integrated Care System and Voluntary Norfolk, with a specific focus on reaching out into those communities who do not access health and care in more traditional ways. The WOW bus is supported by partner organisations across the ICS, including NHS Norfolk and Waveney, Norfolk County Council, the Voluntary, Community and Social Enterprise Sector and others.     Norfolk Learning Disability Strategy – Have your say The Norfolk Learning Disability Partnership has been working with Norfolk County Council and the Norfolk and Waveney Integrated Care Board to see how far we have progressed on the outcomes of the Norfolk Learning Disability Strategy 2018- 2022, My Life, My Ambition, My Future. We have visited each of the five localities to present a section of the summary and held discussion groups to obtain people’s views on what priorities should be contained in the new strategy. We would like to invite you also to take part in the survey to share your ideas for the new Norfolk Learning Disability Strategy being developed. The survey can be found here: https://forms.office.com/e/sDZPkCNDv5. It is live from the 7 August to the 7 September 2023. To help with this, Norfolk County Council have created a ‘Looking back on the 2018-2022 Learning Disability Strategy’ summary which is available in easy read and non-easy read. You can find this and more information about the strategy here.   Two new special schools for Norfolk children with SEND get the go ahead A total of 270 new specialist education places will be created in Norfolk after a Government announcement that it has approved bids from the county council for two new special schools. The council submitted proposals to the Department for Education (DfE) for a new school at Great Yarmouth and a second at Downham Market as part of its £100m six-year Local First Inclusion special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND) and Alternative Provision (AP) improvement programme. DfE confirmation has now been received that the schools will be built and funded by the Government’s free school programme. The Government has agreed to the council’s proposal for a school at Downham Market with 100 places for children aged five to 18 with communication and interaction needs. A second school is proposed for Great Yarmouth with 170 places for children with complex needs aged from three to 19. It is proposed that the schools would open in September 2026.

Following the successful approval of the financial plan by the three Trust Boards and NHS England earlier this year, this partnership marks a significant milestone in the collaborative’s ambition to revolutionise healthcare information storage and provide better joined-up care. MEDITECH, renowned internationally for its fully integrated digital solutions for healthcare, was selected as the supplier for their exceptional expertise and track record.

This is an opportunity to listen to talks and workshops by local healthcare professionals and experts on managing the condition, diet, exercise, mental health, and the checks they are entitled to, such as eye screening and foot care. Participants will also be able to ask questions, provide feedback on healthcare services and meet others living with diabetes or caring for someone with diabetes. There are approximately 70,376 people (8% of the population) living with diabetes across Norfolk and Waveney who could be at risk from diabetes complications. This is the highest prevalence in the East of England and above the figure for England at 7.3%. Despite the serious complications of diabetes, often called ‘the silent killer’, not all people with diabetes attend their annual health checks, the key diabetes care processes, and know where to access services. For more information about diabetes and the support available visit: https://www.diabetes.org.uk/ To sign up for this free event go to: https://www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/living-with-diabetes-day-norwich-tickets-608439327407?aff=erelexpmlt   Two new healthcare hubs for Norfolk and Waveney get the green light Two new-build healthcare facilities in King’s Lynn and Rackheath have been given the go ahead after the full business case for each development was approved by NHS England today (22 August). The two new healthcare hubs form part of a £25.2m capital investment which the NHS in Norfolk and Waveney successfully bid for in 2019 to expand and improve health and care facilities in the local area. Now that the business case for the King’s Lynn health hub has received final approval from NHS England, building works will commence this autumn. A decision on planning permission for the Rackheath health hub is anticipated in the coming weeks and, if approved, building works can also commence this autumn. Each building is planned to be ready in spring/summer 2024. This timely investment will help to meet the growing demands for health and care services now, and safeguard provision for the future in the growing areas of King’s Lynn and Rackheath. The hubs will be modern, accessible, digitally enabled facilities where residents can access a range of health and care services. They will provide more joined-up services between primary, acute and community care, helping to improve patient experience and improve health outcomes for local residents.

This change follows an announcement by the Department of Health and Social Care (DHSC) and the UK Health Security Agency (UKHSA) on the risks presented by the new BA.2.86 variant and pre-emptive measures the NHS has been asked to take. The adult covid and flu vaccination programmes had been due to start in October to maximise protection over the winter months, but now those most at risk including adult care home residents will be vaccinated from 11 September. The NHS has been asked to bring the programme forward and will be working quickly to ensure as many eligible people as possible are vaccinated by the end of October. Residents of older adult care homes and those most at risk including those who are immunosuppressed will receive their covid vaccine first. Carers, pregnant women and health and social care staff will all be among the groups to be offered a covid jab this winter, as well as adults aged 65 and over. Eligible people should wait to receive an invite from their local provider. From 18 September, the NHS will start to invite people in priority order of risk and those eligible will be able to book an appointment on the National Booking Service. The NHS winter flu and COVID-19 vaccination programme provides vital protection to those eligible and their families over winter, keeping people from developing serious illnesses, and helping to minimise hospitalisations during busy winter months. Following the JCVI’s recommendation that adults over the age of 65 and those with underlying health conditions would be eligible for a flu and COVID-19 vaccination this year, the offer was due to start from early October to maximise protection for patients right across the winter months. Now with the increased risks presented by the COVID-19 variant BA.2.86, vaccine sites can vaccinate those eligible for both flu and covid from 11 September. Where people had already booked an appointment for their flu vaccination earlier in September with their local provider, these appointments can go ahead. If vaccine supply has been ordered for covid and flu, sites can start vaccinating against both. It is important that those eligible this year come forward for their vaccinations as protection fades over time, and the virus that causes flu can change from year to year. As in previous years, the NHS will let people know when bookings open. Adult flu and COVID-19 appointments will be available through the NHS App and website, or by calling 119 for those who can’t get online. Flu and Covid vaccines will also be available through local participating GP practices and pharmacies.

The first report covers a nine-month period from 1 July 2022 to 31 March 2023 and includes a summary of progress and achievements which NHS Norfolk and Waveney, along with a wide range of partner organisations, including our Voluntary Community and Social Enterprise Sector and our residents, staff and communities have achieved. The report also, quite rightly, includes some of the challenges we have and continue to face, with an overview of what we will continue to do to help people in Norfolk and Waveney lead longer, healthier and happier lives. A short summary version is also available. A short social media campaign has commenced which includes short snippets of the Annual Report and Accounts, showcasing some of the achievements that have been made across our Integrated Care System during this period. A final Annual Report and Accounts for NHS Norfolk and Waveney Clinical Commissioning Group is also available, covering the period 1 April 2022 to 30 June 2022.   Update on the Primary Care Access Recovery Plan in Norfolk and Waveney The NHS and Department of Health and Social Care published their delivery plan for recovering access to Primary Care in May. This plan sets out how the NHS will make it easier and more convenient for patients to get the help they need from primary care services, with a focus on general practice and pharmacy services. This plan is nationally led and will build on work already happening locally in Norfolk and Waveney to improve patient access to services. It will take time to safely make all the changes in the national plan. We thank you for your patience and ask you to support us and your local practice and patient participation groups as we continue on this improvement journey. Please be assured that your GP practice team is always committed to providing the very best care that they can within the given resources. General practice continues to work under enormous pressure where demand on their services frequently exceeds the capacity that is available, despite providing record numbers of appointments. You can read more about the plan here.     Finally… Did you know, you can view the latest current engagement opportunities from across the Norfolk and Waveney ICS via the Norfolk and Waveney ICS Engagement Hub?

Norfolk Neighbourhood Watch have an opportunity to unlock funding to support their work in making our towns and villages a better place to live.  We share an appeal from Les Rowlands, the local Chair, for help to make this happen: “Dear Resident, Many of you have told us about crime and anti-social-behaviour in your communities which is making your lives less enjoyable.  This is why at Norfolk Neighbourhood Watch we want to help local communities make a difference to help address this. However, we cannot do this without funding to help promote existing schemes and develop new ones.  I often hear about drinking, violence, criminal damage, litter and graffiti in our towns, villages and in Norwich which makes life for some, intolerable. From what you tell me, working collaboratively with your local police officer was always the best way to tackle these problems.  However, in recent years we have lost these important links but now is the time to reinstate them. Norfolk Neighbourhood Watch is asking the Police & Crime Commissioner, to consider funding us from his allocation of Safer Streets Funding from the Home Office (£1.4m). Therefore, please could I ask you to complete this very important survey: https://www.norfolk-pcc.gov.uk/news/police-and-crime-commissioner-asks-norfolk-residents-for-their-views-on-crime-and-anti-social-behaviour/ The survey will ask questions about aspects of neighbourhood crime, anti-social behaviour  and violence and importantly it’s anonymous. Please do mention Norfolk Neighbourhood Watch and tick the box accordingly. Best Wishes Les Rowlands Chair Norfolk Neighbourhood Watch”

Wellbeing Newsletter                    Winter is Coming

With the Met office issuing weather warnings for cold weather and even possibly snow for Norfolk, we can be sure that winter is well and truly with us.
We know that many amongst us will struggle to stay warm and fed this winter.  Below we offer some general advice on how to stay warm without spending too much money.  For people needing immediate assistance help is at hand:

Community Hot Spots and Libraries
Norfolk County Council working with Norfolk Community Foundation have funded a number of locations where you can go to access services and other help; receive a hot drink and refreshments and a place to socialise and stay warm. Follow the links:
Community Hot Spots
Libraries
Cuppa Care Bus

Food banks and larders
There are a range of places around the county where food parcels or cheap and wholesome food can be obtained.  More information about locations and opening times can be found via the Nourishing Norfolk network, or via the list held on Norfolk ALC’s website:

General Advice

Wrap up well

• Wear plenty of thin layers rather than one thick one is the best way to keep warm in winter.
• Wear clothes made of wool or fleecy synthetic fibres (cotton is only effective if the garment stays dry)
• Keep your feet warm with rugs and slippers.
• Wear bed socks and thermal underwear at night
• Putting on a coat, hat, scarf, gloves and warm shoes or boots when you go outside. If you’re heading out, make sure you take some extra layers – even if you don’t need them immediately, it’s a good idea to be prepared because the temperature can drop significantly when the sun goes in.

Heat where you need it

• Only heat the rooms you use – heat the living room during the day and the bedroom just before going to sleep.  Turn the heating in other rooms down or completely off.
• Keep doors and windows closed.
• The ideal temperature is 64°F (18°C) for your bedroom and 70°F (21°C) for your living room. Check your thermostat or use a room thermometer to monitor temperature, and keep your bedroom window shut on a winter’s night.
• Draw your curtains and tuck them behind the radiator to avoid cold spots.
• Use a hot-water bottle, wheat bag or electric blanket to warm the bed, but never use a hot-water bottle and electric blanket together as this can be dangerous.
• More tips at MoneySavingExpert.

Eat well

• A healthy balanced diet will help keep you warm and healthy in the winter. Make sure you and your family eat at least one hot meal a day like soup which is nutritious, keeps you warm and is inexpensive to make or buy.
• If you have them, microwaves, slow-cookers and airfryers are often the most cost (and energy) efficient ways of creating hot meals.
• Batch cook and reheat in a microwave.
• Get your 5 a day.
• Avoid comfort eating.

Stay active and stay in touch

• Staying active is good for your health. Walking, for example, can be good for you. If the weather prevents you getting outside, stay active indoors by catching up on all the household tasks you’ve been putting off.
• Stay in contact with friends and family, especially if you’ve been stuck in the house for a few days. If you have elderly relatives or neighbours who might need help, check up on them.

The cold weather could be just one of many reasons why someone has tumbled into crisis and needs help and support.  Places where that help can be found are contained in our “Help in a Crisis” document available from our website.  Good places to try first are as follows:

Norfolk Assistance Scheme can help you get support and financial assistance for food, energy, water, and other household essentials including white goods. You can apply yourself or a support organisation, such as Age UK Norfolk or Citizens Advice can apply on your behalf. 0344 800 8020.

Citizens’ Advice – CABx can offer help with energy bills and with advice on how to reduce your ongoing energy requirements. 0800 144 8848

Norfolk Community Foundation’s Nourishing Norfolk food hubs provide a range of food support. This includes community fridges and larders, food pantries and community supermarkets

Cost of living vouchers – if you are eligible for free school meals you will now receive a monthly ‘cost of living’ voucher. The vouchers will be £15 per month per child with an additional payment of £30 per child in December.

Anglian Water provides an Extra Care Support Service for people who need help paying their water bills including advice, payment breaks, flexible payment plans and discounts. 0800 169 3630

BCKLWN News Release

Wellbeing Newsletter            Support from NCC, NCF and LGA

Apologies for the long nature of this newsletter, but there is much here that will be of interest to everyone.
.
Norfolk County Council (NCC) and Norfolk Community Foundation (NCF) can offer a wide range of support to people who are struggling.  Over coming months’ it will be vital to ensure that everyone is receiving all the help they can possibly get from this and other sources.  Below we share the latest information about what is available and how to access it.

Councils with the General Power of Competence (GpoC) are of course able to do anything that an individual can do and so can act as a conduit or enabler for much of the funding, but please don’t be put off if you don’t currently have the GPoC, ask yourself if there are other ways to unlock funding that is available, perhaps through working with your local church, village centre or other possible partners.

Norfolk County Council       Household Support Fund autumn/winter 2022

Norfolk County Council has just announced its cost-of-living support offer, helping households in the County manage their costs. As stakeholders we wish to raise your awareness of the programme of support available, to enable you to signpost your customers to help where needed.
The Council has been allocated £6.69 million to be spent by the end of March 2023 by the government’s Household Support Fund and will add an additional £1.2m of council funds to create a total support package for Norfolk Households of just over £7.9m. The new scheme aims to provide extra support to those facing hardship this winter, as the cost-of-living crisis continues, especially around food and energy costs.
The County Council will continue to work closely with district, borough and city councils, the VCSE sector and schools to help those most in need, with a special focus on providing support for rising energy and utility bills over winter.
There have been some fantastic outcomes through the previous Household Support Fund and the work is supporting many people across Norfolk. However, the pressures continue for some, and may be particularly difficult over the winter period as households use more fuel to keep their homes warm, and the increased costs of this.
Based on previous experience, the funding is expected to provide support to around 70,000 households across Norfolk.

Below is a summary of the support that is on offer.

Support for families who receive Free School Meals
The Council will continue to provide cost-of-living vouchers for free school meals eligible children, with those eligible receiving a total of £120 in vouchers per child for the period November 2022 to April 2023.
The vouchers are provided by Edenred, which can be used in all supermarkets for essentials, including clothing.
If you are working with a family who you think may be eligible for free school meals, who are not currently receiving them, please encourage them to speak to their children’s education provider or support them in that conversation where needed.
Children who are home educated and may be entitled to the vouchers can complete the Norfolk Assistance Scheme form and will be supported to access Edenred by NAS.
For more information about free school meals

Norfolk Assistance Scheme (NAS)
NAS already provides hardship support to Norfolk residents who are struggling with their living costs. The type of support that NAS provides is tailored to the individual needs of each household. It can include food vouchers, help with buying school uniforms and gas or electricity meter pre-payments, purchasing oil and a range of other support as needed.
NCC have also invested in additional advice capacity that NAS can refer to. This means that as well as one-off financial support, people struggling with their finances will find it easier to access debt and welfare advice and support to find longer term solutions.
Find out more about the support on offer and who can apply at 
NAS

Norfolk Community Foundation
If you are a VCSE organisation, town or parish council or faith group you can apply to Norfolk Community Foundation for a grant funding to enable £50 cash support or pay contributions to energy/utility bills of £50. You can then use this funding to offer winter aid directly to the people you support.
More detail about who can apply, for how much and when, will soon be available at
NCF Household Support
Norfolk Community Foundation will be advising VCSE organisations how they link people up with longer term support offered by district council teams and NAS so that they can be helped past the initial £50 sum where needed.

Local support in the community
City, district, and borough councils are using their in-depth knowledge about their residents and local community to proactively target support to where it is most needed. This support will be delivered through existing local organisations and council services who come across individuals and families in need. City, district, and borough councils will be in touch directly with partner organisations with more detail about their individual schemes.
Norfolk’s network of 47 libraries is offering free hygiene packs with essential toiletry and sanitary products, as well as ‘warm and well’ packs including things like blankets, gloves, and socks. People will be able to go to libraires and pick up these packs in a discreet way when they need them. Libraries will also be offering self-serve hot drinks at all of their libraries this winter during their opening hours.

Winter support in general
Anyone can go to www.norfolk.gov.uk/costofliving to find out what support is available and how to access it. Organisations and support workers can also do this on people’s behalf. If people have problems accessing online services, then they can visit their local library or call on 0344 800 8020.

What can I do to help?
If you are working with, or aware of, a family who you think may be eligible for free school meals, who are not currently receiving them, please encourage them to speak to their children’s education provider or support them in that conversation where needed.
Please direct people to the website www.norfolk.gov.uk/costofliving so that they can find the right support for their needs.
