Market Sustainability Plan 

Alongside the Cost of Care Exercise, local authorities were required to develop and submit a Market Sustainability Plan for care homes for older persons and visit-based home care, which:

• takes into account the results from the cost of care exercises
• considers the impact of future market changes over the next three years, particularly in the context of adult social care reform
• sets out an outline action plan for addressing the issues identified and the priorities for market sustainability investment

Plymouth's Market Sustainability Plan identifies the fragility of the local care market. It highlights issues such as increasing complexity and workforce challenges and starts to identify the actions the Local Authority, working with providers, needs to take to improve sustainability in the medium term.

Implementation of the Market Sustainability Plan will involve significant work with providers as the city strives to move towards a more sustainable model of care. A series of workshops were held with providers in February 2023 giving providers an opportunity to contribute to the Market Sustainability Plans and signalled the start of the implementation process.
