Salford City Council - Record of Decision

I Councillor Boshell, Statutory Deputy City Mayor and co-chair of the ICJC, in exercise of the powers contained within the Council Constitution do hereby:

Approve option B2 as the preferred model of delivery of the Intermediate Care bedded provision.

The Reasons are that this would see an improved model of care for service users in a purpose built, Intermediate Care nursing facility. This would meet the increased acuity and complexity of patients, provide greater efficiency, and reduce delayed transfers of care and length of stay.

Options considered and rejected were

• Refurbishment of provision
• Refurbishment of provision to nursing standards
• Smaller new intermediate care facility

Assessment of Risk:  Medium.

Without this development

• Patients with higher acuity and more complex needs would have to be treated in hospital settings due to lack of IMC nursing beds.
• Longer waiting times for admissions to appropriate IMC nursing beds, and a rising cohort of delayed transfers of care.
• There is a need to progress the delivery model for IMC Bedded provision so that this in place for Winter 18/19

The source of funding is The Integrated Care pooled budget.
