Decision maker: Deputy Head of Mental Health Commissioning - Brighton & Hove. Evaluation key Criteria The service evaluation was reviewed against the 5 key criteria: The key criteria were weighted as follows: • Quality and innovation - 25% • Value - 25% • Integration, Collaboration and Service Sustainability - 20% • Improving access, reducing health inequalities and facilitating choice - 20% • Social Value - 10% Quality & Innovation: This criterion shares the heaviest weighting with the Value criterion. This weighting reflects our commitment that the service should be of the highest quality for people living with dementia and their carers, to ensure that they receive an integrated and seamless experience that enables them to feel supported, included and valued. Innovative approaches to engaging with people living with dementia from diverse communities is important. Value: The Value criterion is significant because by integrating the dementia focused services with more general activities for older people, extra value for money is obtained through the economies of scale generated by the breadth of the operation. The considerable involvement of volunteers to deliver the services also means that the impact of the investment goes far beyond what might normally be anticipated and maximises beneficiary numbers. Integration, Collaboration and Service Sustainability: this criterion is weighted equally to Improving access, reducing health inequalities and facilitating choice. Integration and collaboration is key to ensuring access to a wide range of experiences and support services for dementia patients, as well as motivating them and their carers to engage with a broad range of opportunities in the service. A cohesive system partnership between providers - local VCSE organisations and assets, and local authority services will generate a broad range of opportunities for people living with dementia and their carers. The single point of access will enable people to discover and utilise existing community assets whilst reducing duplication, as well as supporting the sustainability of local services. Improving access, reducing health inequalities and facilitating choice: dementia impacts people of all socio-economic groups and ethnicities. This service should be available in a range of locations and in areas of economic deprivation across the city. A key element of improving access is the importance of venues being accessible by public transport, as well as being established, familiar community venues. The weighting for this score reflects our commitment to ensure that this resource is targeted towards those who are most at risk of isolation. It has been proven that people with dementia who remain active and socially engaged are more likely to stay living in their homes independently for longer. Social Value: This criterion recognises the positive impact of services and their contributions to the broader social, economic, and environmental improvements in the community. It acknowledges the positive inter-generational social value and cohesion that broad ranging volunteering opportunities create for everyone in local neighbourhoods.
