Minutes of meeting held on 28th February, 2019 pdf icon PDF 140 KB

Minutes:

Consideration was given to the minutes of the previous meeting of the Health Select Commission held on 28th February, 2019.

 

Resolved:-  That the minutes of the previous meeting held on 28th February, 2019, be approved as a correct record.

 

Arising from Minute No. 72 (Integrated Place Plan), it was noted that a response was awaited on one query which would be circulated when received.

 

Arising from Minute No. 73 (CQC Inspection of The Rotherham Hospital Trust) (TRFT), it was noted that the Safe and Sound framework was to be discussed at the Quality Sub-Group on 12th April.

 

With regard to feedback on the delivery of the action plan, it had been agreed that a report would be submitted to the September meeting of the Select Commission after all the actions relating to the UECC had been completed.  However, due to the Commission meeting on 5th September, the Chair proposed that it be submitted to the October meeting.

 

The CQC had fully accepted the action plan developed by TRFT in response to the re-inspection with no amendments.  This was quite unusual and, therefore, provided some reassurance that the Trust had captured all the actions required to make improvements following the findings.

 

The presentation on the workforce mix and Nursing Associates would be submitted to the October meeting.

 

Arising from Minute No. 77 (Health and Wellbeing Board), it was noted that Councillor Roche had circulated responses to Select Commission Member questions.

Intermediate Care and Re-ablement Project pdf icon PDF 438 KB

Anne Marie Lubanski, Strategic Director Adult Care, Housing and Public Health

Minutes:

Councillor Roche, Cabinet Member, Adult Social Care and Health, stated that Intermediate Care and Re-ablement were a key, essential feature of the vision and way forward as they related to independence, choice and living at home.  Re-ablement would be the prime vehicle for moving forward with the approach to localities as it was felt to be the most effective way for services and people.  He introduced Anne Marie Lubanski, Strategic Director Adult Care, Housing and Public Health, and Chris Holt, Deputy Chief Executive TRFT, who gave the following powerpoint presentation on the development of the Intermediate Care and Reablement Outline Business Case:-

 

What do we mean by Intermediate Care and Reablement – Health and Social Care Services Providing:-

-          Fast Response

Where there was an urgent increase in Health or Social Care needs which could be safely supported at home

Typically 48 hours but may be up to 7 days

-          Home-based Intermediate Care

Including therapies, nursing, equipment and Social Care to support rehabilitation and recovery

-          Bed-based Intermediate Care

Where needs wee greater than could be delivered at home but consultant-led care was not needed

-          Reablement

To help with learning/re-learning skills for every day living, delivered at home

 

Why Change?

-          People have told us

They would like to be at home wherever possible

They would like to regain their independence

Current services were disjointed and could be hard to navigate

-          Care Quality

Evidence shows people did better at home

We know that a large number of people received care in a community bed when they could have gone home with the right support

Rotherham had significantly more community beds than other similar areas

Current services were focussed on older people and their physical needs

Through changing the way we worked, more people were going home and our community beds were not fully utilised

 

Current Services

-          Community-based Services

Integrated Rapid Response (TRFT)

Community Locality Therapy – urgent (TRFT)

Independent and Active at Home Team (TRFT and RMBC)

Reablement (RMBC)

-          Bed-based Services

Intermediate care at Davies Court and Lordy Hardy Court (RMBC and TRFT)

Oakwood Community Unit (TRFT)

Waterside Grange (Independent Sector)

-          Services currently provided by a range of teams and bed-based sites

-          In addition, several teams of Social Workers and therapists working into the bed-based provision

-          People moved through multiple services rather than an integrated pathway

-          Significant duplication and some capacity issues in a number of services

 

Project Aim

-          Referrals

-          Co-ordination

-          Integrated Intermediate Care and Reablement Service

Pathway 1:  Integrated Urgent Response

Pathway 2: Integrated Home-based Rehab/Reablement

Pathway 3: Integrated Bed-based Rehab/Reablement

-          To simplify current provision to provide an integrated, multi-disciplinary approach to support individual needs across Health and Social Care

-          To re-align resource to increase support at home, reducing reliance on bed-based care

 

Future Services

Community-based Pathways

Bed-based Pathway

1. Urgent response (integrated team)

 

3.  Community bed-base – rehabilitation and reablement without nursing (integrated team)

 

2.  Home-based reablement and rehabilitation (integrated team)

My Front Door - Update pdf icon PDF 440 KB

Anne Marie Lubanski, Strategic Director Adult Care, Housing and Public Health

Minutes:

Councillor Roche, Cabinet Member for Adult Social Care and Health, reported that the project was now on track to meet the timetable including assessments.  This was despite a lack of capacity at times due to difficulties of filling some vacancies and needing to move staff into other work areas.  The key was the impact on people in real life and the case studies were now showing some examples.  It was hoped to hold an All Member Seminar on the lessons learnt so far and what the next steps were.

 

He introduced Anne Marie Lubanski, Strategic Director Adult Care, Housing and Public Health, and Jenny Anderton, Transformation Lead, who gave the following powerpoint presentation on My Front Door:-

 

My Front Door

-          Was the vehicle for communication and engagement with all our key stakeholders

-          Built on the Learning Disability Strategy and Adult Social Care Vision ensuring the information was accessible and relatable to individual, carers and families

-          Supported potential providers to “buy into” our Learning Disability Transformation Programme by pitching their services in real-life ways

-          Was our personalised approach to our Learning Disability Transformation Programme moving hearts and minds towards a positive future

-          Ensured person-centred planning and enabled our practitioners to engage with people in a new and different way

-          Created a narrative that changed all our thinking from a focus on decommissioning services to a focus on the real alternatives and opportunities available for individuals

-          Would have engagement activities that were co-produced with individuals and would enable further consultation on new opportunities

 

Workstreams

-          Assessments

-          Commissioned Solutions

-          Carers Support

-          Accommodation

-          Community Catalyst

-          Shared Lives

-          Transforming Care

-          Communications and Engagement

-          Health

 

The MFD Team

-          The initial staffing agreement for My Front Door Team was 10 full-time assessing staff plus 2 Workers from Oaks

-          7.8 FTE from 1st April, 2019

-          Recruitment was underway with interviews planned

-          Team average caseload was 17.52

 

Employment

-          Employment Co-ordinators were facilitating a number of people to access different types of employment/job-based support

10 people were accessing voluntary opportunities (organisations included St. Vincent’s, Salvation Army, RSPB, Barnardo’s)

19 people were accessing work experience (organisation included RMBC, BA components, Costa, Pound Land, Riverside Café, Mears, Life Wise)

23 people were accessing paid work (organisation/employers included dog walking, Premier Inn, Asda, RMBC, Partech, McDonalds, Broad Horizons)

6 people were paid by BA components

A piece of work was taking place to validate figures and develop a Project Search offer with the schools and colleges

There had been a successful bid into European Social Fund which would help us to expand the employment offer

 

Discussion ensued with the following issues raised/clarified:-

 

·           Voluntary Action Rotherham (VAR) had been really helpful working with the enterprises with regard to developing business models and working with them in partnership

 

·           The work was ongoing about changing the ways of working

 

·           The contract had not changed with VAR as there was no need.  What they did within  ...  view the full minutes text for item 84.

Minutes:

Councillor Evans, Chair, presented the outcomes of a workshop held by members of the Health Select Commission and the Improving Lives Select Commission on 19th March, 2019.

 

The purpose of the workshop was to seek assurance that young people and their families/carers would have a positive transition from Children’s to Adult Services, through clear pathways and a strength based approach that sought to maximise independence and inclusion.

 

Evidence comprised of briefing papers, case studies, a presentation and the refreshed draft Education, Health and Care Plan.

 

Membership of the sub-group included Councillors Evans (Chair), Cusworth, Elliot, Jarvis, Keenan and Short.

 

The findings were set out in the report and fell within the following headings:-

 

-          Understanding the cohort – numbers and main presenting needs of the children and young people

-          Strategic alignment

-          Voice and influence

-          Shared approach to assessment and strength-based practice

-          Understand the impact of the new pathway

-          Capture achievement of individual aspirations in EHCPs and in the longer term

 

(2)  That the PfA Board develop measures of satisfaction during 2019-20 for young people and families/carers with regard to the transition/PfA process and new pathways.

(5)  That training and workforce development continues to embed taking a strengths-based approach fully with staff across Children and Young People’s Services and Adult Care, Housing and Public Health, and with health partners.

 

(6)  That representatives from the PfA Board, including Rotherham Parent Carers Forum, provide Scrutiny with a further progress update during 2019-20.

Healthwatch Rotherham had recently picked up a cluster of 8 complaints around Maternity and Gynaecology Services in Rotherham.  All were very different complaints and all were proceeding through the Complaints Procedure.  Feedback would be submitted in due course.

NHS 10 Year Plan

Healthwatch Rotherham had been requested to carry out engagement work on this matter which included the sharing of an online survey with Rotherham residents.  The link would be sent to Janet Spurling, Scrutiny Officer, to forward to members.

 

Autism Strategy

Tony was a member of the Autism Partnership Board.  The Strategy was ready but was missing the “how and who” with work was taking place on this aspect.

 

Access to GP Surgeries

Given the discussion at the previous meeting, it was queried whether access had been raised as a concern with Healthwatch.
