The report proposed recommissioning the Carers Hub as a jointly funded Brighton and Hove City Council and NHS Sussex service for unpaid family and friend carers. The existing service was considered successful and strategically important, with a new commission expected to cost between £578,000 and £590,000 per year.

Recommendation

Approve the recommissioning of the Carers Hub and delegate authority to the Executive Director for Health and Adult Social Care to procure and award a new Carers Hub contract.

Financial impact

Estimated annual budget of £578,000–£590,000 for the new commission, funded through the Better Care Fund. For 2023/24, NHS Sussex contributes £349,000 and Brighton & Hove City Council contributes £182,000.
