The Integration Joint Board considered a report which reflected the work of the Dementia Services Review Group and set out a re-distribution of assessment, treatment and care from one in-patient assessment resource for the whole area, to an enhanced specialist community resource within the Health and Social Care Partnership localities.

Decision

The Integration Joint Board:

1.    noted the extensive work carried out by the Dementia Redesign Group to focus on future service provision and pathways;

2.    approved the recommendation of an Enhanced Community Dementia Team model as the further redesign of dementia services, made by the Transformation Board and Senior Leadership Team; and

3.    agreed that the Enhanced Community Dementia Team model be progressed, noting that –

a)    full consultation on the proposal would be undertaken; and

b)    a further report would be submitted to the Integration Joint Board on the outcome of the consultation exercise in March 2020.
