Integrated care systems are designed to join-up the commissioning of health, social care services and other system partners to meet the population health needs. These needs are assessed in the data-driven joint strategic needs assessments (JSNAs), prepared by Health and Wellbeing Boards. Government guidance on the preparation of JSNAs states that they should include the needs of children with disabilities and special educational needs and disabilities (SEND) within these assessments.<\/p>

<\/p>

Integrated care partnerships (ICPs) must set out how local authorities and integrated care board (ICBs) can meet these assessed needs in integrated care strategies. Statutory guidance states that these strategies should consider the health and wellbeing outcomes of babies, children, young people and families and they should include a statement on how the arrangement of health and social care services can be closely arranged with health-related services such as education providers.<\/p>

While there have been no specific discussions with the National Grid, we are working with the Department for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy to understand the likelihood of any power outages.

The NHS Constitution states that NHS services must reflect and should be co-ordinated for and tailored to the needs and preferences of patients, their families and carers. Patients, with their families and carers, where appropriate, will be involved in and consulted on all decisions about their care and treatment. The \u2018Special educational needs and disability code of practice: 0 to 25 years: Statutory guidance for organisations which work with and support children and young people who have special educational needs or disabilities\u2019, states that local authorities must ensure that children and their parents and young people are involved in discussions and decisions on individual support and about local provision.

Following publication of updated operational planning guidance in February 2022, NHS England and NHS Improvement requested providers to outline plans to reduce community service waiting lists. This information is being reviewed as part of planning to support providers with service restoration in community health services.<\/p>

National service development funding, alongside growth in local systems\u2019 core funding allocations, will support systems to increase the overall capacity of community services to provide care for more patients, address waiting lists and develop and expand new models of community care.<\/p>

NHS England and NHS Improvement published the Community Health Services Prioritisation Framework on 11 January 2022.

As part of COVID-19 recovery planning, we are reviewing how we can improve the provision of health services, including therapies for disabled children. We have made £2 billion\u202favailable in 2021/22 and a further £8 billion from April 2022 to March 2025 to increase activity and reduce waiting times for patients, including disabled children. This funding could deliver the equivalent of approximately nine million more checks, scans and procedures and allow the National Health Service in England to deliver 30% more elective activity by 2024/25 compared to pre-pandemic levels. A\u202ffurther £5.9 billion\u202fof capital funding\u202fwas announced in the October 2021 to\u202fsupport elective recovery,\u202fdiagnostics,\u202fand technology.<\/p>
