  6. Preliminary Analysis • When the unit prices are applied to the major service areas of Accommodation Support, Community Access and Centre-Based Respite, preliminary analysis suggests that: • (26)47.3% organisations appear to be overfunded • (29)52.7% appear to be underfunded • (6)10.9% of the total appear to be close to the price for the services they deliver (i.e. within 2.5% + or -)

  7. Place More underfunded than overfunded Group Homes Multiple Service Providers: Funding transition according to service types & unit prices Place Underfunded and overfunded balance out Community Access Place Balanced Centre based respite Hour Balanced ISP Hour Balanced Community Support Single ServiceProviders Funding transition according to service type & unit price Hour Balanced Family Support Block funded (per FTE) More underfunded than overfunded Residential facilities Block funded (per FTE) Balanced Advocacy,Information and Referral Place Balanced OoHC TRC Total funding per Service Type

  8. Transition • How will we transition to UP fairly and efficiently?

  9. Principles of Transition • Analysis supports a transition process based on need: • Starting with known critical base funding issues • Then addressing overfunding over time by level of overfunding • Further analysis will place your organisation according to need.

  10. How does that look? • Underfunded organisations – additional funding from 1 January 2012 over 3 years, indexed at 2.25% • Overfunded by ↓5% - base funding will reduce from 1/1/12 • Overfunded by 5%-10% - base funding will reduce between 1/1/12 and 30/6/13 • Overfunded by 10%-15% - base funding will reduce between 1/1/12 and 30/6/14 • Overfunded by more than 15% - transition period will be individually negotiated

  11. Discussion • Move into groups by service type • Ask questions • Raise key concerns • Suggest ideas • Ingrid & Mark (KMPG) will “rove” • DCS Team will capture issues and questions and will respond to all

  12. Plenary • Reconvene • DCS representatives for each small group will form a panel • Key issues and questions from each group to be shared • Responses will be communicated to all

  13. Next Steps? • Service visits • More information about your organisation and the services you provide • Visits will be scheduled between August and December 2011 • Annie Curtis, Area Manager South and members of your local area Community Partnership Team and IFU • How to prepare – info in your package
