Leeds City Council has submitted a bid to Public Health England/ Department of Health and Social Care for the Out of Hospital Care – Shared Outcomes Fund. The purpose of the fund is to assist timely discharge from hospital and prevent hospital admittance where possible, for people who are rough sleeping or at risk of rough sleeping. A bid has been submitted for £640k to spend on a range of activities up to the end of March 2021.
We are awaiting notification of whether the bid has been successful. It is anticipated that if the grant is approved, an immediate start will be required. Approval is required to accept the grant and to progress the activities outlined in the bid. The bid includes activity within the Council, with the Clinical Commissioning Group and health partners.
This is a key decision as expenditure is anticipated to be over £500,000 and is to be awarded as a grant. The grant if awarded will be provided by Public Health England/ Department of Health and Social Care for the Out of Hospital Care – Shared Outcomes Fund.
