## Notice

Norfolk & Waveney has experienced significant numbers of Out of Area Placements; i.e. patients with mental health needs who have not been accommodated within the Norfolk area, often contributing to poor patient experience and poor value for money. It is anticipated that the provision of additional facilities will support a reduction in Out of Area Placements; the short stay facility may also reduce quick re-admissions and support emotional resilience and guidance to tackling wider health demographic challenges that are impacting mental health and wellbeing. These services are split across two Lots: Lot 1: Short Stay Recovery Houses, Norwich The short stay facilities aim to provide a safe, recovery focused supportive and collaborative alternative to acute mental health hospital admission, for people with issues that may affect their mental health.
