Risk & Issue Summary

• There are concerns that financial pressures and budget decisions continue to impact on service delivery, delivery partner capacity, and internal prioritisation.
• There are ongoing capacity concerns across all delivery partners, the Mental Health workforce and within SG Mental Health teams.
• There are concerns that a lack of data will impact the ability to monitor outcomes and assess how the system as a whole is performing.
• There are concerns around the impact of Local Government budgets locally and potential of impact on service delivery across scope of Local Government, including in terms of social determinants and the impact that will have on demand.
• Whilst the new Delivery Collective infrastructure is fully in place, there may be a risk to local delivery of suicide prevention as funding for the COSLA post is no longer available.
• Boards face significant ongoing challenges in delivering health checks for adults with learning disabilities – 14% offered, 9% completed and 3 Boards having not yet offered checks.
