2. Description of current services 2.1 Children’s services provided by the NHS In addition to the presentations at the two stakeholder meetings visits were organised to health settings and schools. These included the Julia Engwell Health Centre, Valence Nursery, Vicarage Fields Health Centre and St Georges Hospital. The school visits were to Five Elms Primary School, Eastbury Secondary Comprehensive School and Hunters Hall Primary School and its Language Resource Base. For a detailed account of these visits see Appendix 3. 2.1.1 Caseload review and priority setting When the community caseload (covering pre-school and mainstream school children) was reviewed in autumn 2001 it was recognised that the service could only give one third of the level of therapy that was felt to be appropriate. In 2001, given that there was no increase in numbers of staff it was decided to design a formula for prioritising demand. For preschool children School age children (from reception upwards) Priority 1 One six session block of therapy per Two visits to school each term, year (individual or group) plus with a programme for home home/school programmes and up to three review appointments and /or school as appropriate Priority 2 One six session block of therapy per One visit to school each term, year (group only) plus home/school with a programme for home programmes and up to three review appointments. and /or school as appropriate For preschool children School age children (from reception upwards) Priority 3 Four review appointments per year, plus Two visits to school each year home/school programmes with a programme for home and /or school as appropriate Priority 4 Two review appointments per year. One visit to school each year, with a programme for home and /or school as appropriate. From 2001 the caseload numbers continued to increase and it was not possible to fill staff vacancies. This meant that the service was unable to meet the requirements for all the children. Due to the vacancies in the Speech and Language Therapy Service it was agreed that the service should be focused on providing the stated level of service for pre-school children only and could see school-age children for initial assessments only. 11
