Description

The Health and Well-Being system is complex; currently in the South Downs National Park there are:
o 4 Authorities with a public health remit, each with a statutory Health and Well-being Board
o 6 Clinical Commissioning Group areas
o 15 Clinical Commissioning Groups, and
o 4 Sustainable Transformation Plans
o Multiple primary care networks
o Social prescribing services delivered across the 4 local authority areas.

We are looking for a contractor to help us establish a baseline of information as follows:
o Type and number of organisations currently using the National Park for delivering social prescribing activity
o How these organisations operate in the National Park
o The types of service/activities being provided and the impact on participants
o Number of referrals through social prescribing mechanisms that are currently linked to the National Park, either by being delivered in the National Park or by using the National Park for inspiration in some other way as part of the social prescribing activity
o How the current provision is funded
o Current capacity within the sector and limitations on it
o What would help those organisations to expand or diversify their offer
o Explore options for sustainable funding for providers to expand the offer (this might be a separate project or piece of work).
o Explore impact of Covid on delivery.
