Spanning boundaries or plugging gaps: Commissioners’ experiences of funding and commissioning specialist voluntary sector sexual violence services
The specialist voluntary sector (SVS) provides distinctive and much-valued support to victim-survivors of sexual violence. Nevertheless, in England as in other countries, the funding and commissioning landscape in which SVS services are situated is complex and frequently characterised as fragmented and uncertain. In turn, this context unsettles, and sometimes threatens, SVS services’ unique ways of working and their long-term sustainability. Draw…
Using the Recommended Summary Plan for Emergency Care and Treatment (ReSPECT) in a community setting: Does it facilitate best interests decision-making
In the UK, the Recommended Summary Plan for Emergency Care and Treatment (ReSPECT) is a widely used process, designed to facilitate shared decision-making between a clinician and a patient or, if the patient lacks capacity to participate in the conversation, a person close to the patient. A key outcome of the ReSPECT process is a set of recommendations, recorded on the patient-held ReSPECT form, that reflect the conversation. In an emergency, the…
The Scope, Range and Use of Voluntary Sector Specialist Sexual Violence Services in England: Findings and Recommendations From a National Study
Sexual violence is a global problem with significant individual and societal health and social costs. Services that support victim‐survivors of sexual violence across a range of sectors are crucial. This study investigated the scope, range, funding and commissioning of voluntary sector specialist (VSS) sexual violence services in England and victim‐survivors’ experiences of using such services. The specialist voluntary sector plays a pivotal role…
Working the Edge: The Emotional Experiences of Commissioning and Funding Arrangements for Service Leaders in the Sexual Violence Voluntary Sector
The specialist voluntary sector plays a crucial role in supporting survivors of sexual violence. However, in England, short-term funding underpins the sector's financial stability. This article examines sector leaders' ways of coping, resisting and being affected by funding practices. Using the concept of edgework, we show how funding and commissioning dynamics push individuals to the edge of service sustainability, job satisfaction, and emotiona…
Navigating the Lay Referral System for Treatment‐Seeking Decisions During Illness in the Digital Age: A Qualitative Study of Adults Living in Slums in Nigeria
Interaction with a lay referral system (informal networks that provide health advice during illness) influences the treatment‐seeking decisions of individuals with perceived healthcare needs. We examined how this occurred in urban slums in Nigeria with scarce formal healthcare and unstable social networks. Using existing theories of social networks and lay referral, we examined the use of these systems for treatment‐seeking decisions in slums, in…
Is the end in sight? A study of how and why services are decommissioned in the English National Health Service
The decommissioning of a health-care service is invariably a highly complex and contentious process which faces many implementation challenges. There has been little specific theorisation of this phenomena, although insights can be transferred from wider literatures on policy implementation and change processes. In this paper, we present findings from empirical case studies of three decommissioning processes initiated in the English National Heal…
Doing More with Less in Health Care: Findings from a Multi-Method Study of Decommissioning in the English National Health Service
In the context of an austere financial climate, local health care budget holders are increasingly expected to make and enact decisions to decommission (reduce or stop providing) services. However, little is currently known about the experiences of those seeking to decommission. This paper presents the first national study of decommissioning in the English National Health Service drawing on multiple methods, including: an interview-based review of…
Instituting the ‘third sector’ as a governable terrain: Partnership, procurement and performance in the UK
In this article we argue that governance of the ‘dispersed state’ is being extended into the quasi-private realm of voluntary and community organisations and their activities. Focusing on public service delivery, we distinguish the formal and operational dimensions of governance, and argue that the goal of partnership carves out a newly governable terrain – the third sector – which is to be organised through the operational governance mechanisms …
