Falkirk HSCP Locality Plans
Falkirk Health & Social Care Partnership (HSCP) has established three locality areas as part of its commitment to deliver services that meet the needs of the communities. The three locality areas are:
West Locality: Denny, Bonnybridge, Larbert and Stenhousemuir
Central Locality: Falkirk town, Camelon, Bainsford/Langlees and Hallglen
East Locality: Grangemouth, Bo'ness, Braes Villages
The HSCP are required to develop Locality Plans to help identify and address the needs of each Locality area and demonstrate how the Outcomes and Priorities in the Falkirk HSCP Strategic Plan 2023-2026 will be delivered on a local basis.
Work is now underway to develop our three Locality Plans. A steering group of key stakeholders has convened to oversee the development of the Locality Plans. The Steering Group have outlined a high-level Action Plan to develop the Plans.
Locality Delivery Groups for each Locality area will be convened to undertake the development of Locality Plans. The Locality Delivery Groups will include stakeholders specific to the Locality area to deliver the plan.
The Central Locality Delivery Group has been convened and will be the first plan to be developed and published in January 2025. East & West Locality Plans will be developed and published in May 2025. The plans will cover the period of the current Strategic Plan until 2026.
Developing Locality Plans will include reviewing data available to the HSCP on each Locality, utilising the knowledge of operational staff and engaging with the public to hear their views to understand the important issues that the Locality Plans should focus on.
The process undertaken to develop Locality Plans will ensure that health and social care professionals, third sector and independent sectors, housing, service users and carers are given the opportunity to influence and inform service planning and the delivery of our Locality Plans.
Engagement on the challenges within Falkirk Central and proposed priorities to address these challenges is underway. The full set of survey questions is attached below as a pdf. It may be helpful to review the survey questions before submitting a response online. It may also be helpful for those of you who wish to provide a group response.
If you have any questions about this engagement and process please contact us at HSCPComms@falkirk.gov.uk
Phases
West Locality Consultation & Engagement
The group helping to develop the West Locality Plan will engage with the public to hear their views on the challenges they have found for health & social care within Falkirk West. The public will be asked if they agree with the challenges or if anything is missing.
The public will also be asked about the priority areas for Falkirk West. The public will be asked if they agree with the priority areas the group have found or if they feel anything else should be included. Feedback from engagement will help the Group to develop actions to take forward within the West Locality area.
Engagement will include an online survey, attending local community groups, drop-in meetings across West Locality and staff meetings within the HSCP.
Whilst engagement is ongoing, the West Plan will be written which will include feedback from the public.
A summary of the work ongoing is available below including a copy of the survey is for anyone who would like to view before filling out online or if you would like to print out a copy.
