Item No.14. Classification:Open Date:19 November 2013 Meeting Name:Cabinet Report title: Partnership Agreement Via Section 75 with Southwark Council and Southwark Clinical Commissioning Group Ward(s) or groups affected: All wards Cabinet Member:...November 11th, 2013
FiledNovember 11th, 2013This agreement covers some of the services which support some of the most vulnerable groups in Southwark, and who experience some of the largest inequalities in health in the borough. These include services for people experiencing mental health problems, including residential support programmes and day care support. They also include treatment services for people seeking to address problems with harmful addictions. These are essential to protect and improve the lives of Southwark’s most vulnerable groups. These residents experience poorer quality of life and have a reduced life expectancy. It is vital that we ensure support and treatment services work together across Southwark’s health and social care services to improve the outcomes of care, build resilience, and tackle the causes of these issues and the health inequalities they cause.
