The Care Services Efficiency Delivery (CSED) programme is run by regional implementation managers who offer advice, guidance and coaching to councils with responsibility for adult social care, on how to achieve efficiencies.
They work with Regional Improvement and Efficiency Partnerships (RIEPs), Joint Improvement Partnerships (JIPs) and Deputy Regional Directors.
Support in the West Midlands includes:
• expanding reablement services to help people with poor physical or mental health develop skills needed to remain independent for as long as possible. Effective reablement has been found to reduce hospital admissions and transfer to long term care following hospital discharge, resulting in greater independence for service users and minimising the cost of care.
• Introducing robust processes and systems for performance monitoring and achieving objectives.
Eleven of the 14 councils in the region are receiving support for their reablement work from CSED consultants Helen Miller and Simon Pickford. Consultant Bob Stanton is helping 4 councils in the region to identify alternative forms of supported accommodation for people with learning disabilities, and to develop greater control over pricing of residential placements.
Councils have found that many individuals with learning disabilities in residential care fail to live full lives or reach their full potential, and the cost of supporting them in residential accommodation is rising by over 7 percent a year.
