Drivers for Change Frail elderly and over 75s identified as a priority in Darlington and increasing demographic shift Unscheduled care pressures Better Care Fund Prime Ministers Challenge Fund ‘Avoidable Admissions DES’ in Primary Care CCGs to identify £5 per head of population transform care/invest in additional services and prevent unplanned admissions

MDT development Mandate to proceed from all organisations (health, social care and voluntary sector) A detailed process flow is being developed Identifying links to ‘Primary Care Enhanced Service – Avoiding Unplanned Admissions’ –Ensure MDT is complimentary Developing ‘enabling’ functions (estates, IM&T, information governance, workforce)
