  1. Making a Change Cllr David Parsons Chair of Leicestershire Together

  2. Leaders 1 11 10 Integrated Services that put the Community First Why? • Substantial reduction in public expenditure • Need to get maximum value from what we spend by: • minimising back office and maximising front line • targeting spend at what is cost effective • reducing demand for high cost services – prison, hospital, residential care How? • A truly place based approach • Full sharing of responsibility with local people – ‘Community First’ • Not just Councils - the whole public sector, the voluntary sector and the private sector • Not enabling but ‘commissioning’ which involves localities as well Objective • The best possible frontline services from the funding available.

  3. What does ‘commissioning’ mean? It’s a process to ensure services meet need. We already do it for individual services. It’s a culture as much as a process to ensure services are designed around evidence of need, procured cost effectively and performance reviewed.

  4. Leaders 1 11 10 We have already started • Leicestershire Together agreement to single governance, pooled budgets, single service design, single back office services • Developing 5 frontline and 1 back office commissioning hubs • LCC/NHS health and social care commissioning hub agreed • LCC/NHS early transfer of PH agreed • Community budget (CB) • ‘Big Conversations’ on ‘Big Society’

  5. Big Society • Bigger VCS/Social Enterprise role in delivering services – commissioned from the hubs • Supporting Communities to deliver services that are withdrawn • Helping Communities help themselves – local/theme volunteering • Increased engagement – general volunteering • Influencing the services redesign commissioned by the hubs

  6. Mixed Provision Other Funding Streams LCC/ Police / GP’s / School’s Aligned Funding Streams Commissioning Board Accountable Body Placed Based Budget/s Allocations to Commissioning Hubs Health Social Care & Well Being CYP LEP Safer and Stronger Back Office Services Environment Leicester City Single Support Services— Intelligence, Performance, Engagement, etcetc. Stakeholder Groups Customer Insight District & County Members Community Engagement and Support Joint Action Groups—Targeted interventions People & Places VCS Local Councils Commissioning Structure

  7. Environment Hub Structure This would mark a reduction from 18 partnerships to 7.

  8. Leaders 1 11 10 Key Tasks • Remove the sovereignty barrier – service design approach • Put Members in the driving seat – County and District Cabinet Lead Members involved in deciding priorities, wider role for scrutiny and fundamental role for Members in localities • Get partner agencies on board • Agree best use of funding to help VCS support ‘Big Society – delivering more services and working with communities.

  9. Moving from partnership to a ‘virtual organisation’ John Sinnott Chief Executive Leicestershire County Council Leicestershire Together: Change & Challenge

  10. Government wants: • About 19% less public expenditure on average. • More to be spent on the frontline • More emphasis on prevention • More emphasis on people and communities helping themselves • More decisions to be made locally: • GP Commissioning • More independent schools • Elected police commissioners • Councils to have greater ‘co-ordinating’ role

  11. What’s happening in Leicestershire • Good performance • GP commissioning clusters forming • Joint Health and Social Care Commissioning • Transfer of public health • A commissioning LEP proposal submitted • Personalisation of social care budgets being rolled out • Defining how the VCS can support ‘Big Society’ • An improvement and efficiency programme having some success in reducing costs • Community Budget for Families with complex needs • A plan for six commissioning hubs

  12. The Impact of CSR • National • 28% real terms cut for local government (2011/12 – 2014/15) • Large reductions in capital including 60% for CYPS • Frontloaded (National c.11% next year) • Uncertainty/risk surround specific grant income • LCC • Revised forecast in September from emergency budget c.£90m over 5 years. Still uncertainty about specific grants

  13. Community Budgets • Families with complex needs • 16 prototypes • 20 other places • Service redesign – better outcomes at less cost • Pooling of budgets

  14. What is commissioned strategically, commissioned tactically or coordinated locally? • What activities should be strategically commissioned at County level? • not necessarily related to point of delivery e.g. waste, personalised budgets • standard services vs variable services. • where do choices about priorities need to be made: • geographic • groups of people • But which activities would be more effective if they were secondary commissioned close to the customer • geographic • groups of people • What delivery activities need to be coordinated locally e.g. health & social care professionals or PCSOs and street wardens • What do we mean by local – area/district/neighbourhood?

  15. Service design the key • Putting blocks of activity/service/budget together to allow • a better overview of relationships between services from user perspective • better decisions about what works • lower cost solutions for lower priority activities to be chosen • a move to prevention • more manageable relationships with potential suppliers e.g. VCS • Joining up support services for efficiency • more cost effective procurement • better use of assets • Joining up support services for a level playing field • single set of priority outcomes • joined up performance monitoring • joined up engagement • single evidence base

  16. This is Leicestershire Update • An updated evidence base, “This is Leicestershire 2010”, produced by the Research & Information team, LCC • Provides a sound base for establishing priorities across the partnership • The report was signed off by both the LT Executive and Strategic Boards at the end of September 2010

  17. A refreshed Sustainable Community Strategy • Consultation across the Partnership on 1st Draft Outcomes between now and spring 2011 • Two questions need asking: • Are these the right Outcomes? If not, what are? • How can we achieve these Outcomes?

Current Stage of Development • Joint Change Programme in place across NHS LCR and LCC • Agreement that joint commissioning is a priority for 2011/12 • Agreement to share resources in terms of staff resources and to seek greater pooling and alignment of budgets • Joint recognition of financial challenges in public sector and the need to work in partnership to tackle this challenge. • Public health integration plan in place per the white paper requirement • Starting to plan engagement with GP consortia • Wider stakeholder engagement

  22. Joint Prioritisation/Service Design in the Health and Well Being Hub • Putting blocks of activity/service/budget together to allow • a better overview of relationships between services from user perspective • better decisions about what works • lower cost solutions for lower priority activities to be chosen • a move to prevention • more manageable relationships with potential suppliers e.g. VCS • Joining up support services for efficiency • more cost effective procurement • better use of assets • Joining up support services for a level playing field • single set of priority outcomes • joined up performance monitoring • joined up engagement • single evidence base
