two.1.4) Short description
The Health and Social Care Act 2012 sets out a local authority’s statutory responsibility for commissioning public health services for children and young people aged 0 to 19 years.
Bath and North East Council is seeking to recommission the integrated 0-19 Public Health Nursing Service. The Service is primarily a preventative and early intervention service to deliver health care to families according to the Healthy Child Programme.
The Healthy Child Programme aims to bring together health, education and other main partners to deliver an effective programme for prevention and support and is available to all children, young people and their families from the antenatal period until 19 years of age (or up to 25 years of age where there are special education needs and/or disabilities and/or vulnerable groups) and works as part of a whole system approach that is universal in reach and personalised in its response.
We are proposing that the service provides the following universal, targeted and specialist support across Bath and North East Somerset:
• Health Visiting Service
• School Nursing Service
• National Child Measurement Programme
• Clinic in a Box (young person’s sexual health service)
• Family Nurse Partnership
The universal reach of the service provides an invaluable opportunity, early in a child's life, to identify families that need additional support and children who are at risk of poor outcomes and ensure these children have the best opportunity to maximise their development. We would like to consult on how the Service can achieve positive outcomes and work collaboratively with wider child health, education, early help and social care systems operating across Bath and North East Somerset.
The proposed contract length is for 4 years with +2-year extension option.
The contract will start in April 2025.
A market engagement event will take place on Thursday 9th May, 12.30 – 2pm, in Keynsham Civic Centre. Please could you confirm your interest in attending by emailing public_health@bathnes.gov.uk with details of your name, organisation, position, email and telephone number.
