Decision:

The Board resolved :-

(i)            to approve the extension of the interim arrangements in place at Rosewell House for a further period of 24 weeks (ending 23 October 2021) subject to agreement with Bon Accord Care;

 

(ii)          to instruct the Chief Officer to commission an options appraisal to identify the most appropriate delivery mechanism for the integrated model at Rosewell House;

 

(iii)         to instruct the Chief Officer to present the options appraisal and recommendation(s) to the IJB at its meeting on 24 August 2021.

 

Minutes:

The Board had before it the report from the Chief Officer, ACHSCP which provided an update on the interim arrangements at Rosewell House and requested an extension for a further 16-week period.

 

The Board heard from the Rosewell House Programme Manager who summarised the report and advised that the workforce had been consulted during considerations of the extension.

 

Members expressed their concerns regarding the potential use of Rosewell House if it moved more to a Step-Down facility rather than the model initially proposed and raised issues regarding the availability of suitable respite facilities.

 

Members heard from the Chief Officer who advised that the use of Roswell House would still be as intended however, challenges existed over the preceding year around the pandemic and the strategic direction was to deliver the blend as previously approved. The use of Rosewell House was very much part of the wider organisational change which included less well-developed areas of the system and would align with the developing NHSG remobilisation plan. This would all require a period of engagement and cross organisational review to best align the changes at the correct time and correct place to ensure the patients and workforce were aware of intentions and developments.

 

Members suggested that the proposed recommendations were restrictive in terms of timeline for delivery and suggested  a longer extension to enable fuller understanding.

 

The Board heard from the Chief Finance Officer/Depute Chief Officer who confirmed a longer period of assessment would be beneficial but would require negotiation and agreement with Bon Accord Care.

 

The report recommended :-

that the Board –

a)            approve the extension of the interim arrangements in place at Rosewell House for a further period of 16 weeks (ending 28 August 2021);

b)            instructs the Chief Officer to commission an options appraisal to identify the most appropriate delivery mechanism for the integrated model at Rosewell House; and

c)            instructs the Chief Officer to present the options appraisal and recommendation(s) to the IJB at its meeting on 7 July 2021.


 

 

The Board resolved :-

(i)            to approve the extension of the interim arrangements in place at Rosewell House for a further period of 24 weeks (ending 23 October 2021) subject to agreement with Bon Accord Care;

(ii)          to approve recommendation b); and

(iii)         to instruct the Chief Officer to present the options appraisal and recommendation(s) to the IJB at its meeting on 24 August 2021.
