Norfolk and Waveney Community Support Service (NWCSS) provides a single point of access to rapid response short-term, informal support to individuals in the community, particularly those being discharged from hospitals and those needing assistance to remain safe at home.

The new service is expected to support 1,800 to 2,000 referrals per year and aligns with the move towards neighbourhood health services that will deliver more care at home or closer to home, improve people’s access, experience and outcomes, and ensure the sustainability of health and social care delivery. Norfolk and Waveney Integrated Care Board is looking to ensure continued delivery of a Community Support Service across Norfolk and Waveney to provide rapid access (within one working day) to short term informal support to help avoid admission/readmission or support safe timely discharge from hospital.
