Care Closer to Home- Integrated Care in Redbridge- October 2014
A consultation was held at Wanstead Library on the 13th of October 2014 to discuss these proposed changes. Everyone was invited to this consultation, including patients, carers, councillors and general members of the public.
A consultation document was produced before the extension regarding
the proposed changes to intermediate care by the Barking and
Dagenham, Havering and Redbridge Clinical Commissions Groups
Trials of the proposed changes were implicated by the CCG to make
sure that the health and social care system is ‘future proof’ and that
there is a system that will care better for people now and can also
care for more people in years to come.
Following the trial the consultation deadline was extended from the 1st
of October 2014 to the 15th of October 2014. This was due to concerns
that many people had about the proposal.
The CCG came up with five options that were possible for the future of
intermediate care.
HWR Recommendations
- If there are any more consultations about the document these need to be advertised to the public better and more clearly to patients, councillors, carers and service users etc.
In regards to the consultation document:
- A better explanation of who was involved in the decision making who lead in July was needed
- A better explanation as to how the decision was made
- The business plan strategy needed to be made aware of as some of the document was based on this strategy
- A strategic plan consulting around the staff needed to be arranged as it is suggested that Heronwood/Galleon are currently showing low staffing levels
- The consultation document needed to be reworded so that readers felt they were being told of a suggestion rather than an outcome already
- Better strategy if more beds are needed following the proposals
- There needs to be thought as to integrated services, so that patients can receive care after the set times.
