Reg 76(7) of the PCRs.
The Strategic Market Support Service (SMSS) and Care Home Trusted Assessors (CHTA)
contracts main aim is to engage with care providers to support and develop the market and

The SMSS provides long term stability through the delivery of a workforce strategy and
supportive workforce training needs analysis, with the subsequent delivery of education and
training courses to develop Lincolnshire care services and their workforce whilst ensuring
the offer of support to the provider market is attractive and meaningful. This leads to a
longer term plan of sustainability to ensure that all Lincolnshire residents who receive their

The CHTA service aims to reduce the demand (and need) for care home managers (or care
home staff) to attend an acute hospital setting to review the suitability of someone ready for
discharge. The CHTA team complete discharge assessments in a time responsive manner
which supports the urgency of operational capacity and demand in the acute hospital setting
