Update on Vascular Services PDF 49 KB Report of the Executive Director of Adult Social Care and Health, updating the Committee on vascular services in January 2012, attached. Additional documents: Minutes: The Panel considered the report of the Executive Director of Adult Social Care and Health and associated appendices, updating the Committee on vascular services since January. (Copy of the report circulated with the agenda and appended to the signed minutes)
Sarah Tiller, SHIP PCT Cluster was present and reported that since the last meeting of the Panel a decision had been taken to maintain the status quo of vascular services. A new vascular Services Monitoring Framework had been produced and would be completed on a routinely basis by the providers to ensure that safe, high quality services were delivered. The information would be reviewed by commissioners and considered by the SHIP PCT Cluster’s Clinical Governance Committee. A Patient Reference Group had been established which included representatives from Southampton, Portsmouth and South Eastern Hampshire. The group would share patient feedback with the Clinical Governance Committee so that it would form part of the ongoing monitoring process. Action would be taken if reporting against the Framework gave reason for concern.
It was acknowledged that the statistics and data provision had been considered to be confusing, particularly when published by a number of different sources, often covering different time periods and different measures. The Chair of HOSP and LINK were offered a meeting to talk through the data which had been in the public domain. This would be supported by an independent vascular expert.
The Panel were extremely disappointed that it had taken so long to make a decision to maintain the status quo. The Panel were not convinced that this was the best outcome. It was noted that Hampshire had proposed an independent review. It was requested that a negotiated solution be sought and if this was not forthcoming they would support an expert led independent review.
Harry Dymond on behalf of LINK supported the approach proposed by the Panel.
RESOLVED (i) that an urgent letter be sent to SHIP PCT Cluster from the Panel detailing the following: · the Panel’s disappointment that a decision had been taken to maintain the status quo of services and that it was felt this was not the best outcome; · that a locally negotiated solution was sought; and · that if a local solution which achieved the best outcomes could not be agreed, the Panel would not rule out exploring other options available to them; (ii) that the offer by the SHIP PCT Cluster of a meeting to discuss statistics and data provision be accepted. |
