Flexible Agreement for Learning Disability Supported Living Services — transforming care: pan Lancas

Descriptions

In-line with the national Transforming Care agenda Lancashire County Council (LCC) have been working closely in partnership with the Lancashire Clinical Commissioning Groups (CCGs) and Blackpool and Blackburn with Darwen Local Authorities to consider the provision required for people with learning disabilities and/or autism who display behaviour that challenges including those with a mental health condition and require a placement in the community following an in-patient stay or to prevent an in-patient admission. Due to the estimated discharges within the next 12 months within the pan Lancashire area a Flexible Agreement has been developed. This is intended to be an interim agreement and will initially be in place for 1 year with the option to extend for up to a further 3 years if required.
