OVERVIEW OF INDIVIDUAL SERVICE. In line with the requirements of the Care Act 2014 and the NHS Act 2006, a pooled fund called the Better Care Fund (BCF) has been established, the operation of which is set out in this section 75 agreement. The aim is to facilitate the development of integrated health and social care services and to create flexibility between health and social care budgets to improve care for patients whilst making best use of resources. The BCF provides a mechanism for joint health, housing and social care planning and commissioning. It brings together ring-fenced budgets from NHS West Yorkshire Integrated Care Board (referred to as WY ICB) allocations, and funding paid directly to local government, including the Disabled Facilities Grant (DFG), the improved Better Care Fund (iBCF). The BCF Policy Framework sets out four national conditions that all BCF plans must meet to be approved. These are: • A jointly agreed plan between local health and social care commissioners, signed off by the HWB. • NHS contribution to adult social care to be maintained in line with the uplift to ICB minimum contribution. • Implementing BCF Policy Objective 1: Enabling people to stay well, safe and independent at home for longer. • Implementing BCF Policy Objective 2: Providing the right care, at the right place, at the right time. The BCF narrative plan 2023-25 alongside the Planning template 2023-24 responds to the BCF Policy Framework and BCF Planning Requirements 2023/25, enabling areas to agree plans for integrated care that meet the key policy objectives. The Adult Social Care Discharge Fund (ASC DF) is pooled in to the Better Care Fund to tackle the delays in hospital discharge and reduce the number of patients that are occupying hospital beds but do not meet the criteria to reside. The discharge fund can be used flexibly on the interventions that best enable the discharge of patients from hospital to the most appropriate location for their ongoing care. The BCF planning template 2023-24 includes the areas of spend for the Adult Social Care Discharge Fund.
