1. Housing Support and Personalisation practical advice for the current moment South West Housing LIN 1 st May2012 Kate McAllister

3. Is personalisation still relevant in an era of budget cuts? Against Money should go to people most in need... Personalising services costs money... Block contracts are more efficient/cheaper Money for ‘support’ is locally determined For Coalition priority Personalis’n of public services Direct payments: care/health Bigger role for communities Money is not being spent in the best way Customer-facing services can generate revenue

4. Recent developments (1) SP regulations dissolving – Increased flexibility Increasing alignment with ASC – contracts – outcomes-based quality framework – concern re lower level ‘support’ Health and Public Health – personal health budgets – integration: health + care + everything else

5. Recent developments (2) Intensive Housing Management – becoming popular again – HB covers ‘support’ – in the spirit of retaining existing services What are the long term implications of this? – in the light of welfare reforms personalisation of care and health potential opportunities of health and wellbeing boards

6. Key messages Personalisation is a way of doing things, not a programme is not just about personal budgets is not going to go away

7. Stop, start, continue... change management model STOP What are we doing that is not working? (Something we should STOP) START What should we put in place to improve our performance? (Something we should START) CONTINUE What is working well and should be continued? (Something we should CONTINUE)

10. Our SSC – commissioners Stop – imagining the current market will stay the same Start – understanding, supporting, coordinating providers – building relationships with public health Continue – developing the evidence-based in the JSNA – throwing out the rule-book, being flexible – selling the preventative aspect of personalisation
