## Description
The ongoing programme management of the Better Care Fund which
is a pooled fund comprising refenced grants between Adult Social
Care (ASC)and NHS Thurrock Integrated Care Alliance (Health)
overseen by Thurrock Health and Well-Being Board. This Fund has an
annual management and accreditation process, and a need to comply
with a national performance framework, all of which is completed by
ASC as we administer the fund on behalf of the Health. There is also
currently a separate review process commissioned by the Alliance and
supported by the ADASS. The programme management function has
to date been managed by SLW Consulting Ltd and they are actively
involved with the group overseeing the review. In addition SLW
Consulting Ltd are taking forward the business case for the
development of the Whiteacres residential care facility in South
Ockendon to replace the failing care home Collins House. This
includes the selection and appointment of a development partner with
access to capital funding from Homes England. Both of these pieces
of work are business critical and part of the ongoing transformation of
well being services in Thurrock described in the alliance strategy
Better Care Together Thurrock - The case for further change 2022/26.
