To consider a report and presentation from CWP representatives on its Learning Disability Service Redesign

The Committee received an update from Cheshire and Wirral Partnership NHS Foundation Trust (CWP) on its Learning Disabilities Service Redesign. Dr Hahesh Odiyoor and Kate Flemming from CWP outlined the proposals of the redesign to improve service user outcomes through care pathways. During a consultation process CWP had received feedback on its proposals from service users and service providers.

Members were concerned that having closed Kent House CWP may have issues with capacity. The Committee was informed that demand for the service had reduced and people were receiving more care at home and not needing to go to hospital. There were acute care facilities in Macclesfield and Chester which was considered quite far from some areas of the Borough but the number of people affected was very low so did not present a major issue.

RESOLVED – That the Committee welcomes the update and is pleased with the progress being made.
