Mental Health, Learning Disabilities and Community Services (MHLDC)

The Mental Health, Learning Disabilities and Community Services (MHLDC) provider collaborative is an opportunity for trusts to fully contribute to the ambitions and objectives of the Cheshire and Merseyside integrated care system (ICS).

Purpose

Working together on behalf of their service users and the populations they serve, MHLDC will deliver the best possible experience and outcomes as part of the wider ICS.

They will work closely together with a philosophy of co-design, respecting everyone's roles and different approaches in service delivery.

Objectives

The provider collaborative has the following strategic objectives to ensure that it fulfils the purpose for which is has been created. These objectives are:

1. Enhance and level up community, mental health, and learning disability services to drive overall system transformation.
2. Shift focus to community-based services over hospital care.
3. Use data to tackle inequalities across the system.
4. Improve financial position through collaborative efficiency.
5. Be a trusted partner within the system and local areas.
6. Adapt and transform the workforce to meet future health and care needs.
