South Yorkshire and North Lincolnshire Transforming Care Partnership
Transforming Care for with people with a Learning Disability and Autism
This easy read summary tells you about The South Yorkshire and North Lincolnshire Transforming Care Partnership (TCP) and the work they are planning to do.
About us
The South Yorkshire and North Lincolnshire Transforming Care Partnership (TCP) is made up of Rotherham, Doncaster, Sheffield and North Lincolnshire Clinical Commissioning Groups (CCGs)
Clinical Commissioning Groups (CCGs) are in charge of buying health services for local people.
Jackie Pederson from Doncaster CCG is in charge of the South Yorkshire and North Lincolnshire TCP.
The TCP has written a plan to show how we will lower the number of inpatient hospital beds available for people with learning disabilities.
1 We have written this plan because Transforming Care says we need to make sure that more people with learning disabilities and/or autism will be able to live in their local communities with support and not stay in long stay hospitals.
Where will our TCP be in the next 3 years?
In three years time our TCP will have:
1. Lowered the number of inpatient hospital beds for people with learning disabilities and autism to between 10 to15 beds.
2. Put more money into community services like crisis teams.
3. Supported more people to get a personal health budget.
2 4. Have good plans for offender and forensic health.
The TCP knows that there some areas of work that we still need to look at.
But our plan is to do this with people who use our services and this will take time.
However, we all agree that we want to have the best services for people with learning disabilities and autism their family carers so that people live a good life and get the right support at the right time.
3 To start some of this work our TCP will:
• Keep on collecting information about the needs of people with learning disabilities and autism their family carers so we can buy the right services for people.
• Write a plan to show how we will support people with complex needs.
• Work closely with people who use our services, carers and their families to help us plan future services.
• Look at how we can work with organisations to plan services that support people to stay well and live in their local community.
4 • Look closely at the services we buy and what services we will need to buy in the future. This may mean we stop funding some services and buy new ones.
Because there is less government money to buy services we need to make sure we work closely with other Clinical Commissioning Groups (CCGs) and Local Authorities (LAs) to make sure our plan works.
Our TCP will work hard to make sure that the things we have said happen for people with learning disabilities and/or autism and their family carers.
