We asked for your views on the draft East Sussex Joint Commissioning Strategy 2010/2015 for adults in later life and their carers. We've called this document 'Living longer, living well'.
The strategy sets out how organisations around the county plan to improve health, social care and housing support services over the next five years. The organisations involved are East Sussex County Council's Adult Social Care; NHS East Sussex PCTs; East Sussex Hospital Trust; and Sussex Partnership Foundation Trust Partners.
Background
Adults in later life and their carers were actively involved in the development and implementation of the original Joint Commissioning Strategy for 2007/10. Since it was launched we have regularly sought their views and, together with the views of partners and the wider community, these have informed the refresh of the strategy.
The draft strategy 'Living longer, living well' is the result of that work and sets out an integrated and co-ordinated approach to the development and improvement of services with our partners. You can download the full strategy and an executive summary below.
We wanted to hear your views and comments so that we can further develop and improve the strategy.
The consultation period closed on 31 August 2010.
