Notice Title

NHS England South West - Integrated Non-Custodial Healthcare Services

Notice Description

This notice is placed as a Prior Information Notice in order to facilitate engagement with potential providers.

A series of early market engagement events will be taking place across the region in April and May 2023. The areas covered within the South West include: - Avon and Somerset - Swindon and Wiltshire - Gloucestershire - Dorset - Devon and Cornwall Commissioners are giving consideration to aligning and/or integrating the following non-custodial services: - Liaison and Diversion services - RECONNECT services; (a care after custody service that seeks to improve the continuity of care of vulnerable people leaving prison) - Mental Health Treatment Requirements (MHTRs) - Court Healthcare (aligning an MoJ service through partnerships) Alignment of regional non-custodial contracts would provide an opportunity to drive an innovative way of working with all stakeholders to deliver an integrated non-custodial healthcare service for each of the five Offices of Police and Crime Commissioner (OPCC) footprints. It would allow consistency in patient outcomes and quality standards whilst providing the correct pathway to the individual demographic in the South West. The key aims and outcomes include: - Supporting the delivery of whole-system healthcare for patients in the (non-custodial) Criminal Justice System - Aligning healthcare services to deliver a joined-up pathway in its entirety - Ensuring that non-custodial healthcare is commissioned in a way that supports continuous improvement and innovation - Driving self-management and ownership of health to help individuals develop the knowledge, confidence and skills they need to make the best decisions and actions for themselves - Ensuring effective stakeholder networks and engagement to capture all views from service users, including OPPCs, Probation, community providers, local authorities, ICB networks - Recommissioning across pathways (e.g. mental health treatment requirements; RECONNECT) to deliver seamless care from custody diversion through to release back into the community - Reducing reoffending at a regional level, ensuring continuity of care - Consistency in range, quality, accessibility and acceptability with that available to the wider community, in order to achieve equitable health outcomes and to reduce health inequalities between people in the criminal justice system and in the wider community It is anticipated that new services will commence 01 April 2025. Additional information: At this stage, the Commissioner wishes to engage with providers who currently deliver, or might have an interest in delivering, non-custodial healthcare services, to seek their views on the commissioning intentions. Market engagement events will be held in person on the below dates. Each event will follow the same format and therefore an organisation need only attend one event.
