Summary of policy aims This Service Improvement Plan for Locality Health and Care Services is set out within the context of the East Ayrshire Community Plan 2015-2030, particularly in relation to the Wellbeing Delivery Plan and the East Ayrshire Health and Social Care Partnership Strategic Plan 2021-2030.



Service Improvement Plans (SIPs) are a key part of the Health and Social Care Partnership's performance management and improvement framework. This Plan sets out our: vision and priorities; performance framework; risks and opportunities; improvement actions for 2024-27 and progress made during 2021-24.



This SIP is structured around improvements in Locality Health and Care Services, in contributing towards positive outcomes for people and communities within the strategic planning context.
Key issues The East Ayrshire HSCP is committed to tackling discrimination, advancing equality of opportunity and promoting good relations within our workforce and in our communities. As an organisation, we strive to mainstream equality, diversity and human rights for all of our residents, partners and staff, in the way we operate when acting as a: policy maker, service provider, decision maker, and buyer of goods and services. As such, any substantial changes to service provision, policies or new budget proposals that are likely to have an impact on local people, the workforce or other stakeholders, will be carefully considered, evidence-based, and subject to an Equality Impact Assessment. Client groups which will benefit from the objectives and actions outlined in the SIP include, adults at risk of harm, people with physical disabilities, people with a sensory impairment, older people and people at the end of life.
Summary of involvement with Groups Participation and engagement is a key element of service improvement and is a priority in the HSCP's Strategic Plan and in the Locality Health and Care Service Improvement Plan. The Service is committed to ensuring all people are involved in improving services so that they meet their needs, in the right place, at the right time and engagement activity is carried out with the equalities forum to ensure that the views and experiences are representative of equality groups.
