Social Care Transformation
Overview Drawn from…
Milestones Self-Assessment (Oct - Dec 09) : Soft data from 150 councils
• PPF Facts and Figures Survey 2010 :Hard data from 149 councils
• My observations
Headlines (end of 2nd year)
• Confident re milestones ( ???)• PPF principles have significant purchase, and
‘story’ better understood• Progress nationally is steady and less uneven,
but still worrying group of stragglers re PBs• PB 30% target is challenging re NI130, but achievable re eligible users
Headlines - Personal Budgets
At end March 2010:• 140,000 PBs - half go to OP (30,000 more if one-offs included)
- predicted 205,000
• 1 in 6 of eligible users; half of these get £100+pw• £900+m expenditure, £670m via DPs (£680m 2009)• 8 in 10 councils give majority of PB spend via DPs• 40 commit 20%+ of community budget in PBs
Headlines - Personal Budgets• Predicted to rise to 376,000 by March 2011
– 41% of people supported in communitybut ..……..
• Last year’s predictions optimistic: - predicted 120% increase, delivered 50-80% (205,000) (140 – 170,000)
And….
• NI130 30% target would require 500,000 PBs(376,000 is only 22% of NI130)
SELF-ASSESSMENT
Milestone 1: Effective partnerships (users, carers, citizens)
77% say very, 20% fairly likely to meet March target
Support requested:• Assistance with developing ULOs• Sharing good practice examples• Improving communication and awareness
National Delivery Plan:• Practice guidance showing how councils are effectively co-producing PPF -
June 2010• Practice guidance with focus on co-production of PBs and SDS - Sept 2010• Comms Strategy ?.........
Observation• Milestone not well articulated re ULOs• ‘Story’ still developing
63% very, 33% fairly likely to meet 2011 PB target(PB Survey: Only 12 councils predict to have less than 30%; but only 41% of councils
have mainstreamed PBs
Support requested:• Regional collaboration and learning networks• Sharing best practice• Helping with streamlining processes
National Delivery Plan:• Specialist PB support to councils - Ongoing• Finance / IT Systems Principles and Requirements April 2010• Review of NI 130• Common RAS learning sets• Finance and I.T work
Observations• Most have SDS incorporated in core operating model; numbers will increase faster• Too much time spent on RAS, and too much process• ‘Managed services’ guidance well received
2. SDS and Personal Budgets
29% very, 54% fairly likely to meet target by March69% have a strategy/and or investment programme for prevention and early
intervention
Support requested:• Regional groups and best practice examples• Help with evidence and benchmarking• Equalising priorities between health and social care
National Delivery Plan• ‘Building Community Capacity’ - practice examples and framework for
development of local strategies to be published • CSED working on several efficiency initiatives
Observations• Re/enablement core, but size variable; often not well joined with NHS • Community dev/outreach approaches (not often alongside reablement)• Telecare sporadic
3. Prevention & cost effective services
• 67% very, 27% fairly likely to achieve milestone• Only 53% have a strategy for universal access to information,
support and guidance
Support requested:• Best practice and regional groups• Guidance on how to measure success
National Delivery Plan• Work ongoing re ‘national spine’• Further work agreed to identify self-funder position; exploring financial advice• National Care Service expectations (pending)
Observations• Community immersion v Call centres; ‘badging’• Interactive aproaches/I.T.• Enthusiasm from Council leads (needs structural support)
4. Information and advice
Local Commissioning44% very, 49% fairly likely to achieve milestone by March87%: good SC transformation/NHS commissioning link; 98% working well with
local providers
Support Requested:• Regional groups & practice examples of providers having successfully changed• Clarification of relevant legal and procurement regulations.• Clearer guidance on ‘good commissioning’ strategies, practice examples
National Delivery Plan• Working together for change: provider development programme• National Market Development Forum• Commissioning Work: Andrew Webster
Observations• TCS; IC/reablement; joint investement• Procurement/contracting/dialogue with suppliers • Costs/contributions policy/subsidy/incentives• Understanding community need; JSNA; market position statement• Balance of local investment
• Personal budget numbers are forecast to rise to 236,500 by September 2010
• … then to over 376,000 by March 2011• This equates to approximately 27% and 41% of
people respectively receiving ongoing community based services
