Greater Manchester Health Partnership Maximising the Third Sector’s Contribution to Health and Addressing Health Inequalities Neil Walbran, GMCVO 28th April 2009
Health Partnership Project • Audit Commission review of Health Inequalities 06/07 • Improve commissioning arrangements with Greater Manchester’s third sector • Initial project funded to scope out work necessary to build involvement of sector
HPP – Two Research Areas • Informing Commissioning • Supporting Commissioning
Informing Commissioning • ‘Third Sector Health Services Directory’ • Ongoing piece of work • Local providers at your fingertips • Reduce transaction costs • Live document • Tracking survey • Evidence-base for what Third Sector does best • Emergent pathways • Unintended outcomes
TERTIARY CARE SECOND- ARY AND PRIMARY CARE Beneficiaries Expenditure COMMUNITY CARE DESIRED DIRECTION SELF CARE Care Pathway
Mapping Example – BASIC #2 Public health priorities the organisation addresses • Examples of impact • 38 jobs saved in the last three years (Vocational Rehabilitation has an overall 74% success rate) • 245 people back to work in the last three years (giving an estimated £62 million in savings in benefits) • 4000 service users are kept informed and supported in self care via a mailing list.
Supporting Commissioning • Report – ‘Commissioning: Possible’ • (Third Sector Organisations’ experiences in Public Sector Commissioning) • Qualitative analysis with recommendations • Willingness to engage from both sides • No support framework for engagement • Highlights good practice • No one shining example • No GM consensus from commissioners & little flexibility
Research Outcomes • Recommendations in ‘Commissioning: Possible’ used to inform local commissioning arrangements • Through the ‘Third Sector Health Services Directory’ the ‘market offer’ has been described to a certain degree
Future work • Directory becomes internet-based • Consortiums • Protocols for negotiated tendering processes
