Decision as recorded
RESOLVED that the Maternity and Early Years Strategy West Wales be endorsed.
Cabinet considered the Maternity and Early Years Strategy West Wales. Carmarthenshire County Council is working in partnership with Hywel Dda University Health Board (HDUHB), Ceredigion County Council and Pembrokeshire County Council in response to Welsh Government’s Early Years Integration Transformation Programme. This programme focuses on the need for a joined up and responsive early years service to ensure that every child has the best start in life. As part of the transformation programme, innovative ways of working are required to be tested and piloted and as a result officers in Carmarthenshire have worked closely with HDUHB in developing a pilot Early Years Integrated Team in Cwm Gwendraeth. This is a multi-disciplinary team of health professionals (Midwives, Health Visitors and Speech and Language Therapists), Local Authority professionals (Family Support Officers and a Community Connector). On a regional level a Maternity and Early Years Steering Group was set up in 2019 and work has been underway in developing a Maternity and Early Years Strategy for the region, setting out an agreed vision, objectives and priorities for all services working within the Maternity and Early Years sector across HDUHB, Local Authority and third sector organisations. By July 2022 the strategy was in its final stages of development and a cross section of professionals and families from across the region took part in the consultation process via focus groups and an online survey. This is a strategy with a difference as it is web-based, interactive and concise thereby allowing professionals with limited time to access the strategy as and when required. needed. Following full sign off it was intended to launch the strategy across the region. UNANIMOUSLY RESOLVED that the Maternity and Early Years Strategy West Wales be endorsed.
