Edinburgh Health and Social Care’s Strategic Commissioning Plan

Overview 

What is a Strategic Commissioning Plan (SCP)? 

‘Each Integration Authority must produce a strategic commissioning plan that sets out how they will plan and deliver services for their area over the medium term, using the integrated budgets under their control. Stakeholders must be fully engaged in the preparation, publication and review of the strategic commissioning plan, in order to establish a meaningful co-productive approach, to enable Integration Authorities to deliver the national outcomes for health and wellbeing, and achieve the core aims of integration’ 

https://www.gov.scot/Publications/2015/12/7436 

EVOC, in collaboration with a wide range of third sector groups, is working closely with the Edinburgh Health and Social Care Partnership to develop their new Strategic Commissioning Plan. The plan sets the strategic direction for all delegated services. It is a relatively high level document backed up by more detailed commissioning and delivery plans. 

This work has been divided into five streams: 

Older People
Mental Health 
Physical Disabilities
Learning Disabilities
Primary Care 

Each stream currently has its own outline strategic commissioning plan (OSCP), written late 2017, to guide the work that is ongoing this year to finalise the plan ready for April 2019. 

EVOC has been working closely with third sector providers in the City to develop aspects of these plans.

  • Focus of the plan is stability of General Medical Services (GP contract), redesign & transfer of workload to new workforce, developed and managed by EH&SCP
  • Plan needs to be supported by tripartite governance – NHS Board, IJB, GP Subcommittee
  • EIJB (June 2017) supported creation of ‘Transformation & Stability Fund’ managed by the Edinburgh Primary Care Support Team
  • Resultant capacity ‘injections’, tests of change, Linkworker Network & ‘Tech Fund’ have prepared the ground for New Contract arrangements

Cross Cutting Themes 

Some work crosses over multiple work streams (i.e. transport, housing, carers). The Third Sector Strategy Group’s (TSSG) Contact Group, a sub group of the TSSG has been established to ensure the work of the SCP adheres to the Core Principals which were written in collaboration with the Integrated Joint Board to guide the work of the SCP. You can see the principals here. 

EVOC networks and forums 

EVOC has well established thematic forums which are attended by third sector organisations in the City. These forums will offer an opportunity to feed into the work of the SCP, as part of their established remit. The forums:

  • provide voluntary sector representation in Local Authority and Health strategic planning structures for services,
  • share and disseminate information on local and national policy developments, legislation, research, funding and practice development, 
  • where appropriate and agreed by the membership, present a collective voice on behalf of members and provide members with the opportunity to influence jointly decision making on local and national policies and issues of relevance.

If you are a local community or voluntary organisation providing services for people in the Edinburgh area, you are welcome to attend these forums.
