OB3 Research, in conjunction with the Social Care Institute of Excellence (SCIE) has been appointed by the Welsh Government to undertake an evaluation of the ‘A Healthier Wales’ Transformation Fund.
The purpose of the £100m Transformation Fund is to speed up the development and scaling up of new models of health and social care provision and to demonstrate their value. All of the seven Regional Partnership Boards (RPBs) have submitted proposals to the Fund focused on models which can make early progress on:
seamless alignment of health and social care services;
local primary and community based health and social care delivery; and
new integrated prevention services and activities.
The three year evaluation will evaluate the extent to which the Transformation Fund has accelerated new ways of working to replace or reconfigure existing services. It will also look to identify the component parts of new models which have enabled successful adoption or scale up of these new ways of working.
