The report recommended extending the existing Home Care and Learning Disabilities Dynamic Purchasing System to maintain continuity of care and provide additional capacity alongside newly commissioned services. It also proposed changes to the Home Care DPS, including revised payment arrangements, four geographic zones and removal of NHS Sussex Integrated Care Board as a party.

Recommendation

Grant delegated authority to the Executive Director of Health and Adult Social Care to extend and vary the Home Care DPS for two years to 2026, further extend it to 2028, and extend the Learning Disabilities DPS for two months to April 2024.

Financial impact

The budgeted annual system cost is £0.074m, with variable costs based on DPS activity. Forecast 2023/24 home care spend commissioned through the DPS is approximately £6.6m and is contained within the overall Community Care budget.
