Issue - meetings

To consider a report prepared by the Cheshire and Wirral Partnership NHS Foundation Trust on the impact of the Transforming Community Services programme.

The Committee considered a report on the Transforming Community Services programme as set out below:

      In Central and Eastern Cheshire all provider services currently run by the Primary Care Trust (PCT) would transfer to the East Cheshire Hospital Trust, apart from some physiotherapists for the Learning Disability service who were to transfer to the Cheshire and Wirral Partnership NHS Foundation Trust (CWP);

      In Wirral the provider services of the PCT would transfer to a social enterprise/community trust;

      In Western Cheshire the provider services of the PCT would transfer to CWP.

In each case the main changes related to how the services were be managed and service users should not experience any impact.

The proposals were currently under consideration by the Strategic Health Authority prior to implementation on 1 April 2011.

RESOLVED: that the current position be noted.
