Mental Health and the voluntary sector Forward Together Conference, 6th July 2016 • Antek Lejk, Chief Officer
Mental Health vision • We want to help people staff safe and supported in their communities • Focus on prevention and early interventions • The NHS is a small part of that picture • Lots of crossover between what commissioned mental health services and the voluntary sector deliver • Determination to give mental health equal footing with physical health
Commissioning • Long track record of commissioning voluntary sector providers to deliver services in Norfolk: • Julian Support workers on wards support and prepare patients for discharge • MIND and Relate - sub-contractors in the Wellbeing Service delivered by NSFT • MIND Crisis Support Line - merged with the Wellbeing Service helpline • Age UK Norfolk, Alzheimer’s Society, Equal Lives – provide information, support, advice and guidance • Together UK – supporting independence and recovery • Eating Matters – eating disorders support • 4 Norfolk CCGs spend £2.3m on voluntary sector
CCG finances – the QIPP gap • South Norfolk CCG: £13.8 million • North Norfolk CCG: £9.2 million • Norwich CCG: £9.7 million • West Norfolk CCG: £9.6 million • Total: £42.3 million
A new commissioning agenda for mental health: • Doing it together not apart – old fashioned contracting hasn’t served us well • Integrated local service teams • Physical and mental health • Health and social care • Public sector/voluntary/community • Local decision-making where possible – county wide where appropriate • We know the money is tight – need a new dialogue about what is delivered by the public sector and what is not • Three to five year plans not annual • Starts with agreeing a mental health strategy • Need new commissioning mechanisms that make it easier and everyone can engage in
