Executive summary Overview: The West Sussex Inpatient Bed Reconfiguration programme commenced in 2018 when NHS Coastal West Sussex, NHS Crawley, and NHS Horsham and Mid-Sussex CCGs (now the NHS West Sussex CCG), in partnership with Sussex Partnership NHS Foundation Trust (Sussex Partnership/ SPFT), began developing a preferred option to improve mental health services in West Sussex for adults and older people, including those with dementia. The programme has been subject to NHS England (NHSE) ‘Planning, Assuring and Delivering Service Change for Patients’, March 2018 guidance and has ensured progress updates through governance and approval processes since 2019 and the DMBC (Appendix 2) has been assured by NHS England/Improvement (NHSE/I). The DMBC builds on the work undertaken when developing the Pre-Consultation Business Case (PCBC), which was agreed by NHS Coastal West Sussex CCG, NHS Crawley CCG and NHS Horsham Mid Sussex CCG in June 2019. It outlines the consultation and engagement process and addresses the key themes from the public consultation held between 17 July and 11 October 2019. The DMBC describes how the proposal has changed since the PCBC was written to ensure feedback from the Public Consultation has informed a refined proposal. It also details the process undertaken and additional information and evidence sought to form the final proposal, recognising the pause in the programme in responding to Covid-19, in line with reconfiguration regionally. The SPFT Board of Directors considered the proposals outlined in Section 3 on the 2 December 2020 and formally wrote to the CCG recommending that the DMBC is progressed through CCG Governance and Approval processes and submitted to the West Sussex HASC to consider whether the CCG decision is in the best interest if the local population. Accordingly, the Governance Timeline for approving the DMBC through internal and external processes is described in Section 4 and the Next Steps in Section 6 of this report. In the interest of managing the overall size of papers for this meeting, Pack B includes all supporting papers for this agenda item. This includes the Independent Report of Consultation 2019 Improving Mental Health Services in West Sussex, EHIA MH inpatient bed consultation 2019 and The Quality Impact Assessment.

Implications Corporate A. Improved population health outcomes and patient experience goals this B. Restoring high quality and safe services prioritised to meet clinical relates to needs D. Delivering system reform Financial The Commissioners and Provider have two main financial priorities to achieve from the reconfiguration of beds: 1) Reduce the use of out of area beds that are expensive and not good for patients' social support. 2) Ensure that dementia services develop at a growth rate that allows mitigation of the pressure on capacity and quality that arise from an aging population. This proposal addresses these issues, generates value for money and is affordable within the current financial planning assumptions of the Commissioners. The post-consultation preferred option will by the end of 2022/23 cost £328,000 more in revenue terms per annum. The build-up of revenue costs is set out in Appendix 1 and can be summarised by year as follows: Revenue Impact of Changes Opening Closing Closing Closing Closing 19/20 19/20 20/21 21/22 22/23 £'000s £'000s £'000s £'000s £'000s Revenue increase per annum 0 -131 -73 -604 480 Cumulative Cost increase -131 -204 -808 -328 Sussex Partnership has discussed with the NHS West Sussex CCG options to fund within current plans so we can implement the post- consultation preferred option.

The funding for capital supporting this service development has been approved as part of the programme to eliminate dormitories in mental health care by the Department of Health and Social Care.
