Local Care Organisation Prospectus Consultation

9 Nov 2016 - 10:16 by helen.walker

The three Manchester Clinical Commissioning Groups (CCGs) have written an open letter to the voluntary and commuity sector in the city to invite comments on their plans for the new Local Care Organisation (LCO). 

In their letter, the chairs of the North, Central and South Manchester CCGs explain how the LCO fits into the plans for devolved health and social care in Greater Manchester and confirm that it will be the organisation that holds and delivers a single contract for out-of-hospital care in the future. 

They are seeking views on their current LCO views as detailed in the prospectus, which is available on the CCG website - www.manchesterccgs.nhs.uk/the-lco-prospectus

The CCGs are keen to gather the views of the voluntary and community sector, and their letter states that, "We recognise that we will not be successful in achieving our ambition unless we find new ways of supporting, and working with, voluntary and community sector organisations in the city. You are in the best place to understand the needs of the communities you work with and develop services accordingly."

They are particularly interested in comments on:

  • The scope of their vision
  • Delivering their plans - what is needed and what challenges will they face?
  • The role of voluntary and community sector organisations
  • The reality of integration
  • Is there anything missing from the prospectus?

The full text of the letter is available below and this contains a link to the prospectus document on the CCGs website, where you can also view a short video. All comments and feedback are requested by 2 January 2017. The responses will be analysed and a final version of the prospectus will be presented to the Health and Wellbeing Board in January.
