Agenda item

To consider a joint report of the Executive Councillors (Adult Social Care) and (Health).

The report sets out the draft business case of the integrated model of care developed through the Stockport Together process, a collaboration between the Council, Stockport Clinical Commissioning Group, Stockport NHS Foundation Trust, Pennine Care NHS Foundation Trust and Viaduct Health (representing GPs in Stockport).

The collective vision of Stockport Together is for a sustainable health & care system for the people of Stockport delivering improved health outcomes, reduced health inequalities, greater independence and a lower need for bed-based care. To achieve this it is proposed to deliver new forms of care to specific cohorts of the population through a new form of organisation constructed from the GP registered list at neighbourhood level and incentivised by a new form of commissioning. The model of care will ultimately serve the whole population.

The business cases introduced here will specifically focus on the GP registered adult population (243,000 people) and the new forms of care proposed to deliver sustainability and improved outcomes. These new forms of care are collectively known as the Integrated Service Solution.

These proposals will be considered through the appropriate governance arrangements of each of the partner organisations.

The Executive is asked to

•        approve the approach to business case approval described in Section 3 of the Business Case Introduction document

•        approve the summary clinical model described in Section 3 of the Business Case Introduction document.

•        note the overall summary financial plan as described in Section 5 of the Business Case Introduction document subject to agreement of the final Business Cases in the context of the Council budget for the year in question.

•        note and further develop the approach to Consultation in Section 6.5 of the Business Case Introduction document.
