Market shaping
Strategic direction of travel
The vision of the Havering Partnership is to pool our collective resources to create person centred, seamless care and support designed around the needs of local people throughout their life course, with a strong focus on prevention, addressing inequalities and the wider determinants of health.
This compliments Havering Council’s vision for the ‘Havering that you want to be a part of’, with a strong focus on people, place and resources.
It also aligns to the Health and Wellbeing (HWB) strategy vision where:
everyone in Havering enjoys a long and healthy life; and has access to the best health and social care services.
Delivery of progress against the aspirations in the pillars of the Health and Wellbeing Board Strategy is intrinsically linked to the providers that we work with and their day-to-day interface with the vulnerable people we are looking to support.
Commissioning is a key enabler to this and commissioners in Havering are committed to working in partnership with our providers to achieve optimum results.
Strategic commissioning goals include prevention, personalisation; and integration and partnerships.
These can be delivered by the provider market aligning with the aspirations of the local authority and health partners.
Services in Havering are commissioned with a strong focus on qualitative outcomes for local people, both at a personal level and in wider service contracts that ultimately promote prevention, independence, personalisation and choice.
The approach also looks at wider benefits possible from commissioned services.
For example, reducing social isolation could be an additional outcome targeted within a domiciliary care contract.
Improved health outcomes will also be considered as we commission services.
