NHS Midlands and Lancashire Commissioning Support Unit (CSU) has been acting as an agent on behalf of NHS Lancashire and South Cumbria Integrated Care Board (ICB) who were looking to undertake a Competitive process for the provision of the Community Services in West Lancashire.
The Authority has set out an ambition to have a world-class, community-centric health and care system, with its four place-based partnerships, or "places", at the heart of this Transformation. One of the ICB's top priorities is to transform community health services and integrated community teams, aiming to elevate health outcomes, tackle health inequalities, and keep more people thriving within their communities. By transforming community services, the Lancashire and South Cumbria system will be empowered to support people in staying well, proactively identifying those at risk of deterioration, and offering them personalised care and support.
Community health services cover a wide range of services and provide care for people from birth to the end of their life. Community health teams play a vital role in supporting people with complex health and care needs to live independently in their own home as long as possible. Lancashire and South Cumbria has four places: Lancashire, South Cumbria, Blackpool, and Blackburn with Darwen. West Lancashire is a district area of Lancashire and is predominantly a rural district. It has a population of approximately 118,000 people and is made up of the 1960s new town of Skelmersdale, the historic market town of Ormskirk, and a number of villages situated primarily in the rural Northern Parishes.
West Lancashire Community Services are mainly adult physical health services but include paediatric podiatry services for those children who need local access to community services.
