II.2.4) Description of the procurement
NHS England South (South West) was seeking to commission liaison and diversion services in Devon and Cornwall.
There are high numbers of people with mental health, learning disability, substance misuse and other psychosocial vulnerabilities who enter the youth and criminal justice systems, who could be dealt with in the community, or diverted from the justice pathway altogether, as well as requiring early identification should custodial sentences be applied.
The aim of the L and D service is to provide early intervention for vulnerable people (adults, children and young people) as they come to the attention of the criminal justice system. The service will provide a prompt response to concerns raised by the police, youth offending teams, court staff or any other referral process (including self-referral) and provide critical information to decision-makers in the justice system, in real time, when it comes to charging and sentencing. The service will also act as a point of referral and follow up for these service users, to ensure they can access, and are supported to attend community treatment and rehabilitation appointments.
A few key outcomes include:
— improved access to healthcare and support services for vulnerable individuals and a reduction in health inequalities,
— diversion of individuals, where appropriate, out of the youth and criminal justice systems into health, social care, education and training, or other supportive services,
— to deliver efficiencies within the youth and criminal justice systems,
— to reduce re-offending and/or escalation of offending behaviours.
