Meeting Summary
- PinPoint Update: An update was provided via email, but the information appears outdated and includes broken links. It was suggested that the content may have been copied from the original PinPoint site before it was taken down. There is a need for a central, publicly accessible location for up-to-date information. It was emphasised that this resource should be user-friendly and not in spreadsheet format, as many people—especially older individuals—struggle with online systems and search engines.
Action: Feedback on the outdated information and broken links will be sent to the relevant contact and follow-up is needed to clarify the status of a new version of PinPoint.
- Ethnically diverse community Insight: It was noted that the current demographic supported includes a small percentage from ethnically diverse communities. There is willingness to support outreach to these communities in the future when capacity allows.
Action: Future engagement with ethnically diverse communities will be explored for gathering insight within older people’s services.
- Meeting Scheduling: Future meetings will be scheduled approximately one week before each Joint Engagement Forum throughout the year.
