The Cabinet will be ask to consider proposals on what and how these Mental Health services will be commissioned over the next 3 to 5 years
Received a report from the Cabinet Member for Health and Adult Services on proposals in relation to the commissioning of services for people with mental health needs.
Reviews undertaken by the Council and NHS Barking and Dagenham, who jointly are the two commissioning bodies, indicated a need to modernise in the areas of supported accommodation, employment and day services. Feedback from service users, carers and other stakeholders has helped to shape the proposals and a way forward has been established which will deliver quality services that are tailored to meet individual needs.
Agreed, in order to support the Community Priorities “Safe”, “Fair and Respectful” and “Healthy”, to:-
(i) The proposals for the provision of mental health services in relation to accommodation, employment and day services, as detailed in section 2 of the report; and
(ii) Authorise the Corporate Director of Adult and Community Services to procure and award the related contracts.
