Purpose

In January 2023, Cabinet approved a proposal for the county council's Executive Director of Adult Services to combine her county council role with that of Director of Health and Care Integration for Lancashire Place until December 2025. In early 2023 the Lancashire Place Partnership was established aligning Lancashire Place with the geography of Lancashire County Council.  Being one of the two primary statutory partner organisations to the Lancashire Place,  Cabinet should be made aware of the service plan and be assured in relation to the delivery against this.

Following a foundational year, the Lancashire Place is now in a position to deliver improvements for Lancashire residents. To this end, the Lancashire Place Plan has been drawn up in collaboration with colleagues from Lancashire County Council, Lancashire and South Cumbria Integrated Care Board, the Lancashire Health and Wellbeing Board and wider partners, to act as a service plan with associated targets for delivery.  Data from the district level Health and Wellbeing Partnerships has been used to help frame and direct the priority areas of work and Delivery Boards and associated working groups established where necessary to ensure work on the priority areas is advanced.  Lancashire Place will measure its progress against the identified metrics set out in the plan and will be looking to maintain or improve outcomes and services for Lancashire residents.

Decision

The Cabinet approved the recommendation(s) as set out in the report.
