Budget Provision:
Connect for Health has had a proven impact both in terms of achieving outcomes for individuals and reducing pressure on health and care practitioners, particularly with the advent of Covid-19. Social Prescribing is a core element of the emerging personalised care agenda and health and wellbeing programmes increasingly include an element of social prescribing to support and enable individuals and increase both individual and community resilience.
Documents to be Given to Decision Maker:
The former Suffolk Coastal District Council led the procurement of the original Connect for Health Social Prescribing Service on behalf of Ipswich and East Suffolk CCG, Suffolk County Council and Babergh and Mid Suffolk District Councils in 2019. This contract was due to expire on March 31, 2022, and East Suffolk Council had been asked to lead the re-procurement of the service. The CCG currently funded one day a week of the Head of Communities time plus an Integration and Partnership Manager post supporting the Integrated Neighbourhood Teams in the south of the District. This staffing capacity would work with the Council’s Procurement and Legal Teams on the re-procurement of Connect for Health.
Decision Proposed:
That it be retrospectively agreed that the Council accepts a grant of a minimum of £1,626,000 from Ipswich and East Suffolk CCG, and that East Suffolk Council should lead the procurement process to secure providers to deliver Connect for Health in each of the eight Integrated Neighbourhood Team (INT) areas that make up the Ipswich and East Suffolk Alliance area. Should additional funding be secured for social prescribing this may be added into the contract.
Decision Conclusion:
None.
