This document sets out the commissioning intentions for adult services on behalf of Ealing Council and Ealing Primary Care Trust (PCT). It covers the five years from April 2006 to March 2011. It represents a strategic approach to the commissioning of services and is based on an analysis of local needs and the inclusion and involvement of local stakeholders, including users and carers. It does not include the acute commissioning intentions for the PCT.
This document does not stand-alone. It is informed by national and local priorities set out in other documents. Locally these include • the Community Strategy - Success through diversity, • the Local Delivery Plan (LDF) for the PCT and • National Service Framework implementation plans. What is Strategic Commissioning? Commissioning is defined by the Audit Commission as “the process of specifying, securing and monitoring services to meet individuals’ needs both in the short and long term.” As such it covers the purchasing process as well as a more strategic approach to shaping the market to meet future needs. Integrated commissioning primarily refers to collaboration between local health and social services in this process, although successful integrated commissioning also involves engagement with service users, carers and providers. The commissioning intentions in this document are set out separately by service user group. Each section includes an analysis of: • changes in national legislation and policy • local population/demographic trends • user and carer feedback This is followed by an update on progress from last year. The final table in each section sets out the commissioning intentions.
