Long Term Conditions. It was noted that the Community Pharmacy Leaders Forum (CPLF) has discussed the repurposing of LTC services and saw this work as a priority. They would like to formally request access to the EAG workplan to understand how this is being prioritised. The Chair of the EAG stated that the workplan had been discussed at the 12 February 2019 meeting, but as the minutes of the NAAR meeting were not available at the time, the group were not able to take this into consideration.

This is a proposal to link the Community Care Officers based at GP surgeries, and other social care staff, with the work of the PCT led Long Term Conditions collaborative, in order to better support the individuals identified as at risk in the community by practices. It will also link with the development of Community Matrons, and the specialist MS and Neurological conditions nurses. There is an explicit link with the work to reduce fuel poverty, as patients with Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) are known to be at risk in cold houses.

Te Whatu Ora has inherited variation across districts in a number of areas, including LTC, and this needs to be worked through. Where a national approach can be applied this will be done in time. Does LTC need to be considered as part of the EAG &/or uplift conversations? CCPG The LTC service needs to be reviewed to ensure it meets the needs of patients and improves outcomes for them. Reviews were paused until April 2023 and a further pause needs to be considered as they involve a lot of paperwork Action Green Cross Health The LTC service is very good for patients, pharmacy does a really good job with the service, but having caps restricts access to the service. Alchemy Group The elimination of LTC caps needs to be expedited. Would be interested in being involved in any service review.
