Minutes:

26.1     The Board considered an update on the implementation of the High Weald

Lewes Havens Clinical Commissioning Group’s model of Dementia care.

26.2     The following additional information was provided in response to questions from Members:

·         Weekly memory wellbeing cafes, leisure sessions, and free transport to access community interventions are included in the Golden Ticket model of care due to their health and wellbeing benefits to dementia patients. The wellbeing interventions are subsidised by High Weald Lewes Havens Clinical Commissioning Group (HWLH CCG).

·         There is evidence that 4-5 interventions early in the progression of dementia can help to delay the need for residential care by 535 days.

·         In year 1 of the Golden Ticket programme there is a total anticipated system benefit of £74k, rising to £929k in year 2 and £1,452k in year 3. Not all of this benefit is immediately cash releasing and will largely be realised through the reduction in demand for care home placements, which will benefit the Adult Social Care Department of ESCC.

·         The Golden Ticket has won or been the runner-up in a number of national awards, including those hosted by the Health Service Journal (HSJ) and British Medical Association.

·         There are plans to roll-out the Golden Ticket across the Central Sussex and East Surrey Area (CSESA) South footprint (which covers Brighton & Hove and mid-Sussex).

 

26.3     The Board RESOLVED to note the report.
