Better Care Fund Update:
Summary
1. This paper provide a to the health and well-being board in regard to the Better Care Fund (BCF). This report is part of a quarterly update requested by HWB board members and is a requirement of the BCF assurance process.
Background
2. Since the last update the BCF national team have asked that all regions send through a updated 22/23 planning document as well as an update on the nine mandated High Impact Change model (HICM) requirements. These ensure that as a system we continue to improve the way we meet the national metrics as well as ensuring better outcomes and good quality services that support the reduction on delays within hospital as well as supporting more people to return home with support rather than long term care.
3. Data clearly shows that the longer people stay in hospital in particular those over 75yrs are more likely to require long term care.
Main/Key Issues to be Considered
4. The BCF delivery group has completed an updated delivery plan and revised the metrics that are attached in appendix 1 and appendix 2.
5. The regional team feel that the work the York system is doing has met the HICM change model and the plan has been put forward for ratification. As a BCF delivery board all partners agreed that we should have look to increase our targets in particular supporting a reduction in length of stay (LoS), ambulatory care admissions and reablement.
6. Partners are also working together to redesign some key services and look to bring in a seamless delivery pathway to responsive and preventative care. An intermediate care and reablement redesign subgroup is in place to start to develop this and a wider workshop is planned for mid November 2022 to ensure we have a wide representation of views and delivery options. An updated redesign model has also been shared with the informal Health and Social Care scrutiny committee.
7. In addition to this we have now implemented a clear structure for partners to update on the effectiveness of individual schemes that support people, reduce delays, and maximise independence. The BCF will commence a systematic self-assessment of all the schemes that fall part of the BCF to ensure continuous improvement and options for redesign of schemes that may no longer be required. Updates will be provided to the HWBB as required.
Consultation
8. Partners have been fully involved in the development of the plan and subsequent data agreements. Details of the plan can be found in appedix1,2

Risk Management
13. There are no known risks associated to the BCF, in terms of deliver of schemes. However, the environment is quite challenging at present and the BCF delivery group will continue to monitor the delivery of the 4 national metric targets. All partners are working closely together to support timely discharges, admission avoidance and reducing LoS for people in hospital,
