The findings of a targeted local system review of health and social care services in Leeds, looking at how older people move through the care system, with a focus on how services work together. The review focuses on three areas: supporting people at home, care and support when people experience a crisis and hospital discharge. It gathered feedback from a range of people including those responsible for directly delivering care, as well as people who use services, their families and carers. CQC reviewers identified a good voluntary, community and social enterprise sector in Leeds with many opportunities for people to receive support, particularly for people at risk of social isolation and loneliness. Initiatives included investment in community based Neighbourhood Networks and multidisciplinary Neighbourhood Teams to help people remain well at home. The review found that when older people attended hospital, there was a higher chance than the England average that they would be admitted, and once people were admitted it was difficult for them to return home with support. Some areas of good practice were also identified, including the provision of 227 community care beds across the city as a responses to delayed discharges and the pressure of bed occupancy. The report concludes that system leaders in Leeds had a shared vision that was supported and understood across health and social care organisations, with a shared understanding of the challenges ahead. The review identifies some potential areas for improvement, which include for continued work to reduce hospital admissions and the development evaluations and exit plans for people who had benefitted from support in the community.

The findings of a targeted local system review of Staffordshire, looking at how older people move through the health and social care system, with a focus on how services work together. It focuses on three areas: supporting people at home; care and support when people experience a crisis; and hospital discharge. The review gathered feedback from a range of people including those responsible for directly delivering care, as well as people who use services, their families and carers. The review found that although there was a shared vision from leadership in the county’s Sustainability and Transformation Partnership (STP), but that this did not transfer to those at an operational level. Overall CQC reviews found that older people living in Staffordshire had varied experiences of health and social care services, and that there were variations in what was available to them depending on where they live; there were instances of people attending A&E because they couldn't get GP appointments; A&E attendance for people over 65 living in care homes were higher than both national and comparator areas; there were also delays in older people being discharged from hospital. The review also identified examples of good practice, for example people were being supported to remain in their own home through services coordinated through a GP practice hub model. The review makes a number of suggestions for improvement: further development of a whole county joint commissioning strategy to enable consistency of provision throughout Staffordshire; the development of a whole county dementia strategy; and the rolling out of nationally validated models of GP support for care homes.
