Decision details

The Mental Health Transformation Project lead is responsible for the planning of the programme of work ensuring that all local and national targets are achieved. They ensure appropriate
governance and representation is in place from a Doncaster Place perspective and will also feed into South Yorkshire wide and national forums. The overarching aim is to have several
community mental health hubs in place across Doncaster with dedicated community pathways which involve clinical, social care and voluntary community and social enterprise partners as part of a holistic care plan approach

Funding has been secured through the Health and Social Care Transformation Fund Ear Marked Reserve (EMR) to continue to fund the Mental Health Transformation project lead for
Doncaster Place. The investment for the Mental Health Lead post is £112,000 to provide a Band 8c Agenda for Change (AfC) for 12 months from the 1st of April 2023. The Joint Commissioning
Operational Group held on the 28th of November 2023 and subsequent Joint Commissioning Management Board (virtual sign off) has recommended to approve the business case.

No alternative options were considered as funding for the post was stipulated as part of the conditions when non recurrent Better Care Fund (BCF) funds were transferred to Doncaster Council by South Yorkshire Integrated Care Board.
