two.2.4) Description of the procurement at the time of conclusion of the contract:
NHS Norfolk and Waveney Integrated Care Board invited suitably qualified and experienced providers to express their interest in delivering a Norfolk Community Learning Disability and Intensive Support Service.
The Community Learning Disability Service works with all people with a learning disability registered with a GP in Norfolk. To access the services of Tier 3 and Tier 4 of the service specification, adults must be 18+.
To classify as severe learning disability, the following features must be present:
• A significantly reduced ability to understand new or complex information or learn new skills (impaired intelligence).
• A reduced ability to cope independently (impaired social functioning).
• This must begin before adulthood, with a lasting effect on development.
This definition encompasses people with a broad range of disabilities. The presence of a low intelligence quotient, for example an IQ below 70, is not itself, a sufficient reason for deciding whether an individual should be provided with additional health and social care support.
The Community Learning Disability Service will also advise, guide, up-skill and raise awareness with social care provision and primary care. In these instances, these cases may be for a wider spectrum of people rather than just those with a severe learning disability.
Service Aims
• Supporting access to mainstream health services.
• Enabling others to deliver high-quality, person-centered care.
• Delivering direct therapeutic interventions.
• Positive response to crisis situations.
• Quality assurance.
• Strategic service development and transformation in support of commissioners.
