January 2020 - Collaborative Commissioning Action Plan Launch

This followed a very positive series of meetings before Christmas with care home and home care providers. A second meeting was held Friday 8 January. 

This meeting was to continue work on how we can together best respond to the next phases of the Covid Pandemic.  The meeting covered:  

  • Proposals for a coordinating group which can shape proposals going forward 
  • Dates and arrangements for the Capacity Matching workshops focussed on key target areas 
  • Opportunities for establishing block and collaborative contract arrangements  
  • Proposals to accelerate the roll out of Provider Review arrangements 

The slides from this meeting are now available.
