This informative session allowed th e DHSC to consult with providers on what they would like to see implemente d as part of this review\, and offer feedback on what points they should e xplore in their upcoming consultation they intend to include as part of th is review.\n\nYou can watch a recording of the webinar below\n\nhttps://yo utu.be/pKohAkB3wU0\n\n \;\n\nA link to the presentation slides can be found here \n\nTo submit a response\, click here\nWhat is Section 75?\nSe ction 75 of the NHS Act 2006 enables NHS bodies and local authorities to e nter into partnership arrangements which are prescribed in legislation. Th is allows:\n\n NHS bodies to carry out certain local authorities’ healt h-related functions together with their NHS functions.\n Local authoritie s to carry out certain NHS functions together with their local authority h ealth-related functions.\n The establishment and running of a pooled fund which is made up of contributions by the partners\, and out of which paym ents may be made towards carrying out the functions that are within the sc ope of the arrangements.\n Such arrangements can only be formed if it is likely to lead to an improvement in the way in which the functions are exe rcised.\n Any partnership arrangements entered into under s.75 of the NHS Act 2006 do not affect the liability and accountability of NHS bodies or local authorities for the exercise of any of their functions.\n Partners can also just pay each other for services\, without a pooled fund being in place.\n\n \;\nWhy are the DHSC doing a review?\nThe DHSC want to con sider if there are any changes we can make to existing legislation to faci litate the further use of pooled budgets because:\n\n The DHSC want to en courage greater use of partnership arrangements and pooled budgets more wi dely to support further integrated models of service delivery\n In the In tegration White Paper\, ‘Joining up care for people\, places and populat ions’\, we committed to reviewing the legislation covering pooled budget s to consider simplifying and updating the underlying regulations where ne cessary.\n\nThe review of section 75 will aim to better understand the bar riers to further integration of pooled budgets and what legislative change s may be required to overcome these.\n\nThis current review of section 75 builds on previous engagement over a number of years with systems and plac es. The DHSC are also keen to hear how section 75 arrangements work follow ing implementation of the Health and Care Act 2022.\n\n \;\nWhat is th e scope of the review?\nWe want to consider if there are any changes\, the DHSC can make to existing legislation to facilitate the further use of po oled budgets.  We want to seek your views on:\n\n Whether the scope of s ection 75 should be widened to include additional health-related functions of local authorities and functions of NHS bodies.\n Whether the DHSC sho uld consider widening the scope of organisations that can enter into arran gements under section 75.\n Any perceived barriers to pooling of budgets\ , and consider whether and if so\, how the provisions within the regulatio ns could be simplified to facilitate easier use and reduce the administrat ive burden on NHS bodies and local authorities.\n How can we strengthen a nd simplify the governance of section 75 arrangements to further support t he commissioning of integrated care services.\n ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://www.careengland.org.uk/wp-content/upload s/2023/08/DHSC-Full-Advertisement.png CATEGORIES:Care England END:VEVENT BEGIN:VTIMEZONE TZID:Europe/London X-LIC-LOCATION:Europe/London BEGIN:DAYLIGHT DTSTART:20230326T020000 TZOFFSETFROM:+0000 TZOFFSETTO:+0100 TZNAME:BST END:DAYLIGHT END:VTIMEZONE END:VCALENDAR
