Section B: Process Approach To Delivery
Local Summary Plans – October 2023
Plans: TSIs were asked to coordinate the production of a Fund Local Partnership Plan with local partners to set out local priorities for spend within the parameters of the national Fund criteria. The plans were intended to:
- Agree a set of outcomes for community mental health and wellbeing support locally and identify the contribution the Fund will make to these;
- Ensure coherence of approach locally;
- Tie into existing planning for mental health and community wellbeing;
- Provide a strategic approach to addressing identified priorities locally in line with Fund criteria;
- Take account of current provision and address evidence on gaps in support.
TSIs were asked to work with their Local Partnership Group to develop the plan, specifically working with Health and Social Care Partnership (HSCP) Chief Officers or representatives to ensure fit with the strategic plans of Integration Joint Boards (IJBs).
