4. The case for change Services have evolved ad hoc across the three boroughs since the 1990s Review of services and impact assessments are required Duplicated services The prevention agenda needs to be forefront The contracts do not always reflect local need

5. The service review Undertaken in 2014 Involved informal consultation with range of stakeholders and service users Identified a need to modernise and streamline Desk based exercise has resulted in an inconsistency of delivery across the three borough

6. Current contracts end in 2016 Transforming services will result in these benefits o Improved and wider access to services – via digital, on line, mobile device and outreach hubs o Improved signposting and better designed pathways for service users o Streamlining services and service management across the three boroughs o Improving health outcomes o Localised service based on local need o Emphasis on user involvement and peer support o Breaking behavior patterns/repeat visits/treatments through early preventative interventions o Develop a “whole system approach” and integrated pathways Why are we transforming services?
