Procedure rationaleThe Positive Behaviour, Autism, Learning Disability and Mental Health Service (PALMS), delivered by Hertfordshire Community NHS Trust (HCT) is a countywide service that offers a specialist multi-disciplinary approach to children and young people (CYP) aged 0-18 who have a global Learning Disability (LD) and/or Autistic Spectrum Disorder (ASD). PALMS offer includes range of psychological interventions for challenging behaviour, mental health, sleeping, toileting, feeding and eating difficulties, and/or problematic sexualised behaviours for CYP with ASD and/or LD; crisis support to meet the needs of CYP through multi-agency response to crisis, including joint assessments, follow up & brief interventions. They host the Special School Mental Health Support Team (MHST) and provide consultation and training for other providers (health, social care and education) who support CYP and their families/carers, as well as providing clinical gatekeeping to out of County specialist mental health and challenging behaviour services. The PALMS model of support has been in existence in Hertfordshire since end of 2014 and since then has adapted to meet the local needs of CYP and the local Children and Adolescent Mental Health Services (CAMHS) system and is now well embedded and established, with a proven track record of improving outcomes for those children and young people who are unbale to access mainstream service due to their additional needs. Commissioners from the Integrated Health and Care Commissioning Team (IHCCT), working on behalf of Hertfordshire County Council (HCC) and Hertfordshire and West Essex Integrated Care Board (HWE ICB), have undertaken a market research exercise in 2021/22 to understand if there is a comparable provision to the PALMS service. Due to the specialist and comprehensive nature of the services offered by PALMS the market is very limited, and whilst a handful of providers, who could deliver elements of the service were identified, none were able to deliver the entire service offer that is currently delivered by PALMS. As a Hertfordshire CAMHS system, it is important that we work together with partners (who also have obligations to provide health services) to provide mental health services for CYP with ASD and/or LD that are adaptive to meet their needs, as well as being responsive to the increasing demand, changing acuity and significant challenges with retention and recruitment of workforce. Such a partnership has been developed between HCC and HCT with the common objectives of this collaboration focusing on improving the health, wellbeing and Mental Health of Hertfordshire's Children and Young People, joint working to ensure local accountability for services and public expenditure and decision-making that is underpinned by transparency and the open sharing of information between partners and with the public. In accordance with Regulation 12(7) of the Public Contracts Regulations - public contracts between entities within the public sector - the specific conditions are met by this collaboration working arrangement. Being guided by the key principles of the existing collaboration between the partners (HCC and HCT) we can ensure that both parties working towards common goals and objectives and act in the best public interest.
