Agenda item - Shared Delivery Plan Annual Update

Report of the Director of Adult Social Services and the NHS Sussex Director for Joint Commissioning and Integrated Community Teams (copy attached).

28.1    This item was presented by Steve Hook (BHCC Director of Adult Social Services) and by Tanya Brown-Griffith, NHS Sussex Director for Joint Commissioning and Integrated Community Teams – Brighton and Hove. The Board also heard from Imogen Blood of Imogen Blood Associates, the external evaluators of the Multiple Compound Needs (MCN) programme; and from members of Common Ambition, the lived experience group supporting the MCN programme, and from Nicky Pyper the group coordinator.

28.2    Mr Hook outlined work that has taken place in terms of implementing the Shared Delivery Plan (SDP) including the development of Integrated Community Teams, and the transfer of the multiple compound needs (MCN) programme from pilot to a permanent programme.

28.3    Stephen Lightfoot welcomed the report and gave particularly thanks to the members of Common Ambition for all their work which has been instrumental in making the MCN pilot a success. Learning from the MCN pilot can be used to inform approaches to other issues, potentially including care for the frail elderly and care for people with cardio-vascular disease. However, the recently announced cuts to funding for NHS Sussex staff may have an impact on the ability of NHS Sussex to contribute to this year’s activity.

28.4    RESOLVED – (1) that performance of the delivery of the 2024-25 Shared Delivery Plan objectives be noted; and (2) that the draft Shared Delivery Plan objectives for 2025-26 be approved.
