Sue Wilks, DAAT Manager Drug System Change Pilot Commissioning for Substance Misuse in a Personalised Way
Personalisation & Self Directed Support - Background The Concept • personalised care in a • self directed way using • individual budgets via • direct payments………
Personalisation & Self Directed Support Challenges • perceptions - giving drug users money • changing the way services are secured • changes needed by everyone – staff, service users, commissioners, providers • balancing choice, risk, clinical safety and flexibility • market and broker development
Personalisation & Self Directed Support The Basics We are not offering choice and control : • in specialist prescribing • medical detox • drug of choice
Personalisation & Self Directed Support We have: A set of very basic and simple tools developed, • Self Assessment Questionnaire (and Resource allocation) • Banding levels A – E, reflecting basic Tiers and services currently available • Personal support plan • Delay inputting of the resource until identified support to meet need from ALL resources
Key points to cover • some notes to consider • current picture • desired picture • changing the approach • keeping a foundation • the reality
Some notes to consider :- Where are we ? • We already provide some interventions in a semi personalised way .e.g. spot purchases, small flexible funding allocations • Treatment system is covered by several funding streams – PCT, LA, DAAT. Range of leaders needed to be involved • There are many steps and barriers to reaching our aspirations of social enterprises, buyer groups
Consider :- Commissioning……. • how to change without destabilising the systems • joint commissioning outside of substance misuse
Changing the approach • Through new contracts and building in flexibility • Release funds from block contracts • Translate block contracts into individual budgets
Changing the contracts 2 options suggested, through : • gradual reduction in contract value, releasing funding into new areas of service growth – commissioner to develop the flexibility • provider sub contracting and developing flexible markets within their contracts – provider to develop the flexibility
Changing the contract Flexible markets and services Percentage sub contracted or distributed via self directed support Commission full service at outset ↑ ↑ ↑ Start of contract2.5 years 5 years Small amount of core commissioned services
Changing the approach Release funds from block contracts • Structured day • Psychosocial services • Residential rehab Translate block contracts into individual budgets • Create unit price • Work with individuals to tailor their package linked to current provider
Keeping a foundation • At the point of contact – few clients want to start taking control at this point, they want support, advice, and help to deal with presenting need • Not always able to take control and make choices at key points • Opportunities can be increased using anticipatory care planning.
Keeping a foundation Core Commissioned service. . Flexible Markets – SDS options Wider reintegration & recovery community based services Limited SDS Choice and control Well being, recovery and reintegration Engagement developed
The Reality To date the pilot has seen: • a few work through the full process / low allocations • a focus on structure - college and / or training – yet to translate into actual take up on courses • request to use resources for rent / accommodation – areas already known to be areas of unmet need in the sector. • a few disengage from the scheme. • low take up • concerns this is another tool in addition to others (CAT, ITEP, PSP) - need to streamline
The Reality Next steps: • Now increasing practitioner engagement to enable more clients to engage with the pilot as numbers remain low. • Providers are considering how to respond and engage with the changes, but as yet little demand from client group. • Positive interest from service user groups – social enterprise and buyer groups
Barriers & Constraints Need for hearts and minds to move – not just structural Using evidence based and registered services Commissioning boundaries – supporting people, criminal justice Maintaining and engaging small providers to retain the flexibilities they offer Existing commissioned services and contracts Transitional period for all areas of the system – clients, practitioners, providers, commissioners The Reality
