This Strategy is ambitious, and underpins the CCGs’ plans for the radical transformation of the capability, effectiveness and culture of the local health and social care economy in which they operate. The Strategy exists to deliver the CCGs’ vision of “Connecting Care in communities to ensure good quality, personal, seamless support in a timely, efficient way to improve health and wellbeing”. The review and re-commissioning of Community Services is an integral element of the Connecting Care Strategy, and is regarded as the catalyst for care services across the local health economy to be delivered in a more integrated way - in order to secure the needs of service users and improve the quality and efficiency of those services. It is the overall plan for the health and social care footprint across the CCGs’ area, with local provision at its heart. The Strategy is aligned with the NHS’ 5 Year Forward View, published in October 2014. The CCGs are currently considering their options for commissioning community services across their localities. As part of this, they have embarked on a process to allow them to decide on the most appropriate route to identify a provider (or providers) most capable of securing the needs of service users, and of improving their quality and the efficiency with which they are delivered. Possible routes may include a suitably designed and managed process involving providers invited to develop a solution, or an open procurement. The route that is chosen will be the one best suited to the fulfilment of the transformation underpinned by the Strategy. The CCGs would like to invite any providers who might be interested in hearing about the CCGs’ collective vision for the future delivery, within their locality, of integrated pathways of community services which are patient-centred, of high quality, and joined-up. The CCGs will expect the future delivery of community services to involve collaborative working amongst a number of providers, enhancing local staffing opportunities and using local health infrastructure, regardless of legal and organisational form. Additional information: In order to set out their vision and strategic priorities, the CCGs will be holding an information and engagement day on Thursday 28th January 2016 between 14.00 and 16.00 at the Reaseheath College, Nantwich, Cheshire, CW5 6DF Directions to the Centre can be found at: [reaseheath.ac.uk](http://www.reaseheath.ac.uk/contact-us/how-to-find-reaseheath/) The CCGs very much look forward to welcoming providers to the event.
