HSCP Annual Performance Report published

Inverclyde's Health and Social Care Partnership (HSCP) has published its annual performance report.

The report details how health and social care services, working in partnership with local organisations, communities, families and unpaid carers, have continued to support people across Inverclyde to live healthier, more independent and fulfilling lives.

It highlights the progress made over the past year in improving outcomes for individuals, families and communities, while showcasing the collective efforts of partners to meet local needs and aspirations.

The report demonstrates strong and sustained progress across the Partnership's four strategic priorities:

• Provide Early Help
• Improve Mental Health, Wellbeing and Recovery
• Inclusive, Safe and Resilient Communities
• Strengthen Families and Carers.

Under each priority, the report showcases a range of achievements and improvements that are making a positive difference to people's lives including: the ongoing expansion of community-based self-management and wellbeing approaches; increased use of digital innovation; a significant increase in early intervention digital mental health support through KOOTH; the community-based redesign of homelessness and New to Scotland services; developing the new Inverclyde Carers Strategy; and 100 per cent of young carers who were offered a Young Carers Statement, completing one.

The annual performance report is a statutory reporting requirement and forms part of the Integration Joint Board's (IJB's) governance, performance and assurance arrangements. The IJB manages the Health and Social Care Partnership (HSCP) on behalf of Inverclyde Council and NHS Greater Glasgow and Clyde.

Members of Inverclyde IJB approved the report at its recent meeting.

Chair of Inverclyde IJB, David Gould, said: "This report is a good opportunity to reflect on the HSCP's achievements over the past year and shine a light on the progress made.

"It shows that there has been continued progress in redesigning services to support earlier intervention, community-based services have been strengthened which has led to less reliance on crisis responses.

"There is also clearly strong partnership working across health, social care, the third sector and our communities in Inverclyde.

"We continue to be ever mindful and recognise the challenges we face in Inverclyde with poverty, inequalities, an ageing population, depopulation and the financial pressures on our services. However, we know HSCP staff all work hard to meet our ambition of supporting people to live independent, healthy and fulfilling lives within their own communities.

"Looking ahead to 2026/27, the HSCP will look more closely at performance information to understand what sits behind the data. This will help us target improvements and any service redesign where needed."
