Better care for people in Lambeth
We know it can be frustrating for people when they get services from different organisations. If the organisations do not communicate with each other, they might not be aware of everything happening in that person’s case.
We want to change this.
We want to reorganise the way we deliver services around specific groups of people. For example, services for people with a mental health illness.
A joined-up system will mean we can better coordinate those services so that people get all the help they need when they need it.
Another benefit will come from reorganising some services by neighbourhood. This will mean that people get most of the things they need locally to them.
Organising services around neighbourhoods will cut travelling time, offer peace of mind and give reassurance to relatives.
The Delivery Alliances
We are creating four ‘Delivery Alliances’ to provide services:
1. Neighbourhood and Wellbeing Alliance
This Alliance will bring together different providers to offer a better service to Lambeth residents facing a range of issues, including long-term illnesses.
2. Personalised Support Alliance
This Alliance will be for people who require personalised care. For example:
- people with learning or physical disabilities
- people with specific conditions
- people at the end of their life
A network of support will enable someone to live their life to the full.
This alliance is still at an early stage.
3. Living Well Network Alliance
This Alliance will be set up to support people who are experiencing mental illness. It brings together a range of services and support.
4. Children and Young People Alliance
This Alliance will bring together services and support for children and young people.
We have a plan that brings together services and support for children and young people from maternity to early adulthood. The Children and Young People Alliance will be about delivering upon that plan.
This alliance is still at an early stage.
