Mr Smith informed the meeting that County Local Committees had been formed in March 2005 as a means for the County Council to devolve decision- making to a more local level. They were also intended to hear local people’s views on strategic issues to inform the County Council’s decisions. The Joint Crawley CLC hosted meeting was the last of 13 public meetings hosted by the County Local Committees across the county during September and October to consider the PCT’s consultation. ‘Fit for the Future’ (FFF) proposals contained many positive aspects, including bringing many services closer to people and communities.

    Agenda Item No. 6b Lower Ground Floor Crawley Hospital West Green Drive Crawley West Sussex RH11 7DH Tel: 01293 600300 (ext. 4255) Email: [email protected] Dear Mr Turner and Dr Walsh, Thank you for your letter dated 13th December and the opportunity to respond. As you are aware we are committed to transforming our community services to deliver an integrated service model in collaboration with all our partners across Crawley, Horsham and Mid Sussex CCG areas. The work we have been progressing throughout 15/16 has laid the foundations for improving the preferred model of ‘home first’ principles. The current programme of work includes: • increased focus on delivering the principles of an integrated discharge team across our acute hospital sites at East Surrey Hospital and Princess Royal Hospital • developing an enhanced responsive service model that transforms the current separate community services/teams offering admission avoidance and step down from an acute admission, into a cohesive service offer across the patient pathway from proactive care, crisis intervention and maintenance with access to specialist support at each stage where the need has been identified • Working with West Sussex County Council to align and move towards an integrated joint community rehabilitation service offer that will include access to re ablement home care support • developing a local clinical navigation hub that will enable patients and professionals to access advice/support from urgent care services to meet their needs first time and avoid multiple referrals and confusing signposting We welcome the Boards recommendation for further improvements to the current level of information sharing and a shared understanding of pressures across Health and Social Care.

However, it seems that the race was certainly on - get the facts overleaf on page 4. While I talk about getting involved in village life I also want to plug the annual Cuckoo Fayre on Bank Holiday Monday 6th May. Cuckfield Life will have a stall there and we’d love to see the many familiar local faces as well as lots of new ones, so do come over and have a drink and a chat with us. More about the Fayre can be found in the Mayor’s column on page 7. If the weather has warmed up sufficiently for you to consider a recreational walk this month, do read Peter Lovett’s article on page 32. It gives a flavour and an insight into a fascinating local history-themed walk. Thanks Peter for sharing it with us. Elsewhere in the magazine we catch up with Cuckfield mum Jo Walker, who is soon to be cycling through the Sri Lanken tea plantations to raise money for a cause very close to her heart.
