Clerk’s Note:
The Chair arrived at 17:30 hrs and took
over the chairing of the meeting.
RECEIVED the ‘Ageing Well/ Procurement of Non-Stroke
Rehabilitation Services’ briefing and verbal presentation by
Tristan Brice (Co-ordinator for Stroke Services – NHS
Haringey) who thanked the Vice Chair and Melanie Ponomarenko
(Policy Officer) for their involvement in the consultation workshop
held on 9th December 2011, which resulted in the key
findings as laid out in the briefing.
NOTED
the following in response to questions and concerns
raised:
- Travelling time for
visitors of patients was important. The
wording of final proposals would be agreed in consultation with
LINk (Local Involvement Network) and would include reference to
friends (as well as relatives) as visitors.
- LINk would also be
invited to sit on a panel for the procurement of
services. All providers including those
currently based at St Ann’s hospital could bid via the
tendering process. A committee member
highlighted that service users at St Ann’s hospital utilised
social facilities in the vicinity of St Ann’s and so the
impact of moving services away should be considered.
- Concern about
accessibility to units which might be outside of the borough was
raised. The Committee was informed that
quality was a key element of discussions and favoured above
location as high quality service would usually result in a shorter
stay on a unit and better outcomes.
RESOLVED that the conclusions in the briefing be
agreed.
