Northern Local Care Partnership (NLCP) and the OC’s 

One Northern Devon, the One Communities group and the One Communities now play a key role within the NLCP (see Governance structure below).  

This is a great success and supports two of the key aims of the One Communities group (see OC group terms of reference) 

• 4.4. To become an integral part of the wider Devon Integrated Care system, via the Northern Local Care Partnership, with the ability to draw in a broader partnership who are involved in services beyond health but vital to its wider determinants.  
• 4.5. To ensure wider strategies are localised and achievable. 

Whilst discussions are underway to determine a potential merger of the NLCP and OND, The One Communities are currently, nested within the NLCP’s work-plan under the ‘Prevention, Health Inequalities and Population Health’ section (see NLCP Report June-July 2023 ). Other areas of focus include Urgent Care, Community health and care services, OND Flow, Integrated Care, Mental Health Partnership Forum and LCP Development work. 

As part of the ICB’s wider plans to devolve power, £124k has been allocated to the NLCP to support population health/health inequalities for 23/24. The NLCP have agreed to give OND £24k of this pot to extend Community Developer contracts until March 2024. This is a fantastic recognition of the value of the CD role and the One Community partnerships as part of an Integrated Health and Care system.
