Option 1 – The proposals outlined in the report are agreed; the Social Prescribing Innovation Partnership contract is extended for 7 months until 31st October 2024. This will be at a total cost of £388,026.
Option 2 - It is agreed not to extend the Social Prescribing contract. This option would have no direct cost to Oldham system partners however, if delivery were to cease this would have the knock-on impact of the current Social Prescribing caseload and those in triage potentially being left without support and needing additional services from the wider system. It would have associated impacts for the Innovation Partnership providers who would either need to seek alternative funding in a short timescale or cease delivery putting existing staff at risk.
