CM020 - COMMUNITY PROGRAMMES

1. This diagram identifies the recognised types of HEALTH PROGRAMME. Each HEALTH PROGRAMME will have an allocation of resources to provide a level of service to meet planned objectives (HEALTH PROGRAMME STATEMENT) during a FINANCIAL PERIOD.

2. The approach taken in the diagrams concerned with the planning and delivery of HEALTH PROGRAMMES is to separate PRIMARY CARE TRUST information needs from HEALTH CARE PROVIDER information needs. PRIMARY CARE TRUSTS will continue to run HEALTH PROGRAMMES to meet specific health targets in the local population and clearly need to continue to hold relevant information to achieve this. They may contract one or more HEALTH CARE PROVIDERS to provide services within the framework of an HEALTH PROGRAMME and providers will need to collect relevant information to be able to deliver these SERVICES.

3. The range and number of HEALTH PROGRAMMES are determined by each PRIMARY CARE TRUST, but each will be in one of two distinct groups of services; namely, STRUCTURED PROGRAMMES and NURSING IN THE COMMUNITY PROGRAMMES. The latter is described in diagram CM050.

4. STRUCTURED PROGRAMMES (those delivered within a structured framework) and PROF ADVICE AND SUPPORT PROGRAMMES are described in diagram CM080.

5. The six types of STRUCTURED PROGRAMMESS are also described in more detail in other models, namely:
   - IMMUNISATION PROGRAMMES, diagram CM030 and CM040

   - SCREENING PROGRAMMES, diagram CM050
