Description
Under the Care Act 2014 Nottingham City Council (NCC) has a statutory duty to meet assessed eligible needs. Respite provision is a service that can be used to meet this duty. In Nottingham City, a number of citizens currently have an assessed eligible need for regular planned respite. In September 2023, a competitive call off process was undertaken through the existing residential and nursing framework to secure a minimum of four respite beds. These beds were designated exclusively for NCC for the purpose of delivering planned respite, ensuring sufficient capacity to meet the demand for respite, and to enable the Council to fulfil its legal obligations towards citizens who have eligible needs under the Care Act 2014.

Description
The implementation of the Care Act 2014 introduced significant changes to the Council’s statutory responsibilities, including clear duties around eligibility, prevention, and the promotion of wellbeing, independence, and informed choice. A key principle of the Care Act is supporting individuals to live as independently as possible for as long as possible, shifting the approach from doing things for people to working with them.

Description
In 2022 the government published the Women’s Health Strategy for England, a 10 year plan to improve health outcomes for women and girls, and to improve the way that the health and care system interacts with and listens to women and girls (Women's Health Strategy for England - GOV.UK (www.gov.uk)). Following the publication of this national strategy, it was assessed that the best way in which to understand the current service provision available to women, to hear the voices of women in Nottingham and to understand what they want and need from a healthcare system, and to inform future commissioning and service planning would be to undertake a Women’s Health Needs Assessment. The HNA will allow for a systematic review of the health issues facing women, allowing for subsequent priority setting and resource allocation to improve health and reduce inequalities for women in Nottingham.
