Intermediate Care Visit- May 2017

Report - 5 May 2017

This report provides an update based on our original review and follows on from the previous recommendations shown in reports provided to Redbridge Health Scrutiny Committee on 21 November 2016 and 20 March 2017.

Feedback for both CTT and IRS services was very positive, with all service users saying they would use the service again if needed in the future; we therefore decided a further review was not required.

Following the previous reviews of Foxglove and Japonica wards in KGH, a number of recommendations were provided by HWR to NELFT to improve the service.

Our HWR Board also agreed that this visit would be carried out unannounced using our Enter & View powers to find out if any of the recommendations have been followed and if any new areas need to be considered.
