Description

Suffolk Transforming Care Partnership alongside their co-production partners have undertaken a review of specialist LD and Autism health services. The review builds upon the work already undertaken in implementing the national plan - Building The Right Support and takes into consideration the subsequent Long Term Plan commitments for LD and Autism. The review has led to a transformation programme which encompasses 3 pathways these are community care and support, intensive care and support, and specialist inpatient facility. We believe every sector has a role to play in supporting people with LD and Autism and health service staff when additional support is required to access health services, understanding health needs, personalized approaches, education, awareness, training and reasonable adjustments. This review is linked to the establishment of the ten year (2019-2029) East and West Suffolk Mental Health and Emotional Wellbeing Strategy with the aim to transform mental health, emotional wellbeing and Specialist LD and Autism health support in Suffolk. The strategy describes the approach for improving mental health, emotional wellbeing and Specialist LD and Autism health outcomes in east and west Suffolk. Our Strategy can be found through the following link. http://www.westsuffolkccg.nhs.uk/get-involved/averydifferentconversation/ In order to support this strategy, the CCGs, Suffolk County Council (SCC) and Norfolk and Suffolk Foundation Trust (NSFT) are looking to hear from organisations who would be interested in supporting and potentially delivering services within Ipswich and East Suffolk and/or West Suffolk. The intention is to build a framework of providers detailing their offers to the Ipswich and East Suffolk and/or West Suffolk system in line with the four service groups relating to Specialist LD and Autism, mental health (MH) and emotional wellbeing: -Specialist LD & Autism -Children, Young People & Families -Community -Crisis The framework will include all appropriate offers received from any sector who feel they can support specialist LD and Autism, Mental Health and Emotional Wellbeing Strategy as it develops.
