5. BACKGROUND/SUMMARY OF KEY ISSUES 
Background 
5.1 Health and Social Care North Lanarkshire published its ten-year strategy Safer,
Healthier, Independent Lives, in 2016. Strategic Commissioning Plans (SCP)
which are a statutory requirement, have been produced to outline the key
intentions to be delivered, initially annually (2016-17, 2017-18, 2018-19, 2019-
20) then a three-year plan for 2020–23. The 2023–2026 SCP will be the final
plan within the ten-year strategy.   
5.2 Along with Safer, Healthier, Independent Lives 2016–2026, the SCP is informed
and shaped by The Plan for North Lanarkshire and Achieving Excellence.
Achieving Excellence, a plan for person-centred, innovative healthcare for
people in Lanarkshire, is currently being refreshed. 
5.3 The SCP is further underpinned by key strategies and plans including but not
limited to: 
a) Community Solutions Strategy and investment Plan
b) Mental Health and Wellbeing Strategy for Lanarkshire
c) North Lanarkshire Children’s Services Plan
d) Alcohol and Drug Partnership Strategic Plan
e) Tackling Poverty Strategy
f) Engagement and Participation Strategy
g) Market Facilitation Plan
h) North Lanarkshire Strategy for Adult Carers and Young Carers
i) Lanarkshire Advocacy Plan
j) Lanarkshire Healthy Weight Strategy
k) Digital and IT Strategy
5.4 The 9 Local Outcome Improvement Plans developed through each of the
Community Boards capture local priorities and actions (noted below) which both
inform and are informed by the work of the Health and Social Care Partnership
and shape the Strategic Planning process. 
Mental Health and Wellbeing  Public and community transport
Tackling poverty and inequalities Community Safety
Health inequalities Community Engagement
Food inequality   Digital Inclusion
Covid 19 recovery   Youth engagement and consultation
Town centre and hub development Social interaction and inclusion
Greenspace maintenance and environmental quality 
Summary of Key Issues

5.5 The development of the Strategic Commissioning Plan 2023–26 is underway
with discussions already commenced across a range of important forum,
including Strategic Leadership Team, Strategic Planning Group, Chairs and Co-
chairs of Locality Planning Groups and Partnership Boards, as well as
discussion with key partner organisations and engagement forums. These
discussions have helped on shaping the next steps of engagement and
participation in the Strategic Commissioning Planning process as well as draw
a range of related activities together to refresh how they are undertaken and
aligned to use resources smartly.   
Further embedding a Whole System Approach 
5.6 The Health and Social Care Partnership has long been committed to a whole
system approach, recognising the co-dependencies. Ensuring engagement and
participation in the development of the SCP across the whole system then
clearly building performance frameworks which reflect the whole system will
change meeting structures, governance arrangements and strengthen partner
involvement. A whole system approach needs understand activity across: 
Community supports and activities
Proactive and preventative activity
First or initial responses
Change services such as rehabilitation, recovery, treatment and
reablement
Ongoing interventions
Complex and statutory interventions
Acute or in-patient responses 
Strengthening engagement and participation 
5.7 The Engagement and Participation Strategy, Framework and Principles 2021-
24 clearly outlines the importance of, and the approach to, ensuring strong
voices inform and shape the work undertaken through the Health and Social
Care Partnership. 
5.8 Whilst significant progress has been made in engagement and participation, in
aspiring a more co-productive approach, there is more to be done. The voice of
communities is embedded through Community Solutions supporting local
consortia who have a broad and wide reach. The voice of carers is well
represented through North Lanarkshire Carers Together. Good progress has
been made in representing the voice of people with lived experience,
discussions are being undertaken to invest in future approaches which robustly
enhance this to increase the focus on underrepresented groups.   
5.9 Frontline staff and wider stakeholders are also important in wider engagement
and participation. Quarterly staff roadshows are an important vehicle to
augment local arrangements and facilitate easier information sharing and
participation.   
Delivering on major change as well as business as usual

5.10 The 6 key ambitions of the SCP 2020-23 is achieved through 41 programmes
of work, previously noted through the IJB relating to the DELIVERY of services
and supports, ENABLING, SUPPORTING and GOVERNING factors. It is also
worthy of note however that there are several transformational change
programmes being supported simultaneously, in particular: 
a) Child and Adolescent Mental Health Service change
b) Community Nursing Review
c) Development of Mental Health in Primary Care Services
d) Development of Home First approach incorporating Home Assessment
Teams, Integrated Rehabilitation Teams and modernisation of Home
Support Services
e) Development of Alcohol, Drugs and Mental Health Services 
The learning and development achieved through these programmes of change
need to feed into the SCP 2023-26. 
Active governance and refresh of performance 
5.11 Developing the Whole System Approach described at 5.6 above, includes
revision to performance reviews to promote active governance. Increasingly
data will be used to assure, anticipate, and prioritise, within the Health and
Social Care Partnership, with key partners and through the role governance
committees play in scrutinising data in detail. 
5.12 The construction of performance reviews will develop the revised structures
within the Health and Social Care Partnership, using the two Sector and 3 main
Area Wide constructs to promote integrated approaches, cross cutting learning
and shared ambition. The review groupings in the first instance will become: 
North West Sector (including Airdrie, Coatbridge and North Localities); 
North East Sector (including Bellshill, Motherwell and Wishaw localities); 
Children’s health services including CAMHs
Addiction, Learning Disability and Mental Health Services across health and
social care 
Area wide health and social work services which will include home support
services     
5.13 Proposals to also introduce a whole system performance review are being
developed to more actively include the voice of communities, the voice of
carers, the voice of people with lived experience, representation of the
independent sector, colleagues from acute services. Representing South
H&SCP hosted services and the North Core Team.   
5.14 Bringing the key considerations together, dates are being identified to facilitate
5 key engagement sessions to analyse and discuss the Strategic Needs
Assessments and Local Outcome Improvement Plans for each locality and area
wide services. These sessions will be held in August and will inform both the
development of the SCP 2023-26 and establish the revised performance review
groups. Invitation will be made to IJB members to participate in events.

6. CONCLUSIONS

lessons from the transformational change agendas is being planned and
developed for late August 2022. The engagement sessions, and others to be
agreed with stakeholders will be designed to genuinely share, listen, and act
in the complex whole system approach. 
6.2 A draft SCP will be presented to the IJB in late 2022.
