JSP: PLAN ON A PAGE; TEASER AND COMMUNICATION PLAN Senior Service Planning Manager, Kristin Gillies gave an update on the Joint Strategic Plan (JSP) approved at the IJB on 25th May 2022. Kristin advised that the social media teaser was created to attract public interest to read the full JSP. The ‘plan on a page’ is to be used as a tool for all Service Leads, and their teams, to feed into the priorities, strategic objectives and commissioning intentions going forward within their areas, individual strategies and work streams. Kristin asked the group to note the social media post within the agenda has some errors which have been corrected before being posted on social media. The group welcomed the one page plan, teaser and communication plan. The following comments were made - 1. Sarah Compton Bishop suggested to remove the overall budget pie chart, as the overall budget covers a vast area. 2. Jean commented four out of five of the engagement quotes are from staff, and would like to see more quotes from the public as a better balance. 3. It was suggested that the #Keepthepromise hyperlink be added to the one page plan as has been done within the JSP. 4. Alison McGrory advised that the offer of support to create an animated format of the JSP is still there. Decision The Strategic Planning Group approved the Plan on a Page, the Teaser and Communication Plan, subject to the amendments requested being considered and actioned as appropriate. 4. JSP AND JSCS: NEXT STEPS There was discussion on the implementation and delivery stage of the JSP and JSCS. Kristin Gilles highlighted areas that the plans will be fed through to inform operational plans. Charlotte Craig informed the group that a template is currently being developed for operational plans. This will be piloted with a small group of managers in the first instance. Nicola Gillespie asked to note that the Mental Health Service is currently working on priorities set by the Scottish Government for delivery.
