Editor's Notes
- Age – the oldest are the largest in terms of levels of funding average age is 13 years Area sizes - the 8 largest NNS areas (7.5 miles to 50 sq miles) are all rural and have the largest older population (average 5,500) none are in deprived areas Funding – ASC/NHS Leeds funding as a proportion of total funding ranges from 18% - 100% We provide only 49% of the total funding Range of funding - Total income from all sources varies from 23k to 185k
- Gaps – Harehills Gap, support for non-disabled people in Aireborough, gaps for BME communities, training for volunteers Future – changing policy, NNS expect to provide more of the same and meet growing demand for specialist needs (dementia) recognition of need for partnership working Development of joint services Issues – Limited capacity, transport for older people to access shared activities, NEED TO MAINTAIN LOCAL NATURE AND FOCUS OF NNS Resolution – regular monitoring, quality assurance checks, DEVELOPMENT OF FUNDING FORMULA FOR MORE EQUITABLE FUNDING, incremental change, levelling up rather than levelling down
- Exec Board Report – Funding Formula, restricted tender, 5 yr contracts in recognition of value of NNS Procurement - Training/support provided by LCC/Leeds Voice/ Commissioning Links Simplified PQQ, extra time to complete Simplified tender – extra time to complete
- Resources – LCC Officer/Manager time, Partners time, NNS staff time Comm- Diff to engage with elected members as most sit on Management Comittees Duration – Diff to get people to commit to long term projects especially vol sector Partnerships – Sec 256 agreement Implementation issues – disruptions from unsuccesful org’s
- Pre contract meetings have been held with all succesful NNS except one who is not happy with funding formula. All meetings went well
