Agenda and decisions

RESOLVED:

To receive a future report on progress and timescales with the AMHP service in July 2024 outlining a plan to disaggregate when it is safe and legal to do so.

Reason for decision

Approving the proposed option will see a reprofiling of the disaggregation of the service and will provide time to give greater assurance on when the service will be able to disaggregate, by ensuring staff can be recruited, adequately trained and qualified to provide safe and effective service delivery and to prepare how the service should be managed to carry out its duties with the Emergency Duty Team activities transferring out from NCT who currently provide the service.

Reprofiling the disaggregation of the service will reduce the significant risks to people with serious mental health problems as well as reducing risks of Local Authority liability and reputational damage to NNC and WNC

Alternative Options Considered

Option B – Continue as a hosted service and not to disaggregate at all.

RESOLVED:

To receive a further report in March 2025 outlining progress and timescales for the VI service being disaggregated.

Reason for decision

This will provide the service with enough time to ensure staff can be adequately trained and qualified to provide safe and effective service delivery.

Alternative Options Considered

None – the Shared Services Joint Committee have approved a long-term delay to disaggregation and requested a further report in March 2024 only.

RESOLVED:

To note the Quarter 3 performance report as shown in Appendix A of the report.
