MATTERS ARISING
4.1
National Review of community planning, local review of Fife
Partnership structures and FHWA reporting responsibility
Edward Coyle introduced the paper on ‘Outcome Lead Reporting’
which had been prepared by Tim Kendrick for the Fife Partnership
Executive Group (FPEG) meeting on 11th December.
Members noted the new outcome delivery and reporting arrangements
which are aligned to the 15 long term outcomes of the Community
Plan.
It was also noted that the Fife Health and Wellbeing Alliance (FHWA)
and the Fife Community Safety Partnership will report to FPEG and
Fife Partnership on the same dates, facilitating reporting on areas of
shared interest.
Community Safety Partnership representation on FHWA will further
support links between the Fife Community Safety Partnership and the
Alliance (to be confirmed).

Appointment of vice – chair
Members discussed appointing a vice – chair of the Fife Health and
Wellbeing Alliance (FHWA). It was agreed that this would provide clear
responsibility if the chair is unable to attend. Tim Brett proposed that
this should be Judy Hamilton and this was supported by Andrew
Rodgers. This was overwhelmingly agreed by members in her
absence.
JMcG
Jim McGoldrick to discuss with Judy Hamilton.
6.
Health and Wellbeing Funding – approval for community – led
health initiatives and reserve
Carole Patrick introduced the report on the ‘FHWA Health Inequalities
Funding Programme 2012-15’.
The proposed allocations of the remainder of FHWA funding to new
community led health initiatives from 2012-15 was outlined.
The proposal to use some of the remaining funding to support a
temporary, part-time development post, to support, monitor and
develop the funding programme was discussed. This would ensure that
the Alliance can derive maximum benefit from the funding invested and
is able to learn from the new community-led work.
Some concern was raised over funding the NHS or Council to second
someone into this post and a query raised as to whether this could be
supported without funding.
However it was agreed that it is not feasible to continually rely on
existing staff and that the proposal was proportionate to the amount of
funding and the breadth of the programme.
Members of Fife Health and Wellbeing Alliance :1. approved the allocation of funding for community led health
initiatives as laid out in the paper
2. approved the allocation of funding to support the establishment
of a temporary part- time development worker to support
FHWA’s funding programme
3. approved the use of remaining funding for one-off allocations
and remitted to the Co-ordination Group to make final decisions
on allocation on their behalf.
7.
Physical Activity in Fife
Emma Broadhurst presented the Physical Activity in Fife report,
highlighting the background, areas of good practice, challenges,
celebrations and recommendations.
There was further discussion on
 how work is impacting on physical activity levels over time and
among target groups
 the impact of public sector cuts on progressing the physical
activity strategy
 level of input from GPs across Fife Council.
It was noted that the work done in Fife through the Physical Activity
Strategy, and the Fife data available around physical activity levels of
school children, is regarded extremely positively across other areas of
Scotland.
8.
