Cover |  |\n| 1. The cover sheet provides essential information on the area for which the template is being completed, contacts and sign off. To view pre-populated data foryour area and begin completing your template, you should select your HWB from the top of the sheet.\u003Cbr>2. Question completion tracks the number of questions that have been completed; when all the questions in each section of the template have been completed the cell will turn green. Only when all cells in this table are green should the template be sent to the Better Care Fund Team: [england.bettercarefundteam@nhs.net](england.bettercarefundteam@nhs.net) (please also copy in your Better Care Manager) .\u003Cbr>3. The checker column, which can be found on each individual sheet, updates automatically as questions are completed. It will appear red and contain the word 'No' if the information has not been completed. Once completed the checker column will change to green and contain the word 'Yes' .\u003Cbr>4. The 'sheet completed' cell will update when all 'checker' values for the sheet are green containing the word 'Yes' .\u003Cbr>5. Once the checker column contains all cells marked 'Yes' the 'Incomplete Template' cell (below the title) will change to 'Template Complete' .\u003Cbr>6. Please ensure that all boxes on the checklist are green before submission.\u003Cbr>7. Sign off-HWB sign off will be subject to your own governance arrangements which may include delegated authority. If your plan has been signed off by the full HWB, or has been signed off through a formal delegation route, select YES. If your plan has not yet been signed off by the HWB, select NO. |  |\n| 4.

Please answer this briefly, in a couple of sentences.\u003Cbr>The capacity section of this template remains largely the same as in previous years, asking for estimates of available capacity for each month of the year for each pathway. An additional ask has now also been included, for the estimated average time between referral and commencement of service. Further information about this is available in the capacity and demand guidance and q&a documents.\u003Cbr>The demand section of this sheet is unchanged from last year, requesting expected discharges per pathway for each month, broken down by referral source.\u003Cbr>To the right of the summary table, there is another new requirement for areas to include estimates of the average length of stay/number of contact hours for individuals on each of the discharge pathways. Please estimate this as an average across the whole year.\u003Cbr>4.3 Community\u003Cbr>Please enter estimated capacity and demand per month for each service type.\u003Cbr>The community sheet also requires areas to enter estimated average length of stay/number of contact hours for individuals in each service type for the whole year. |  |\n| 5.
