9.6.3 Feedback received about the service models during consultation
During consultation we sought feedback about the service models. We wanted to
understand if people agreed with the different models and if people had any suggestions for
how it could be improved.
We asked people the following question in our consultation response form:
Q8. We have described the proposals to deliver different forms of care in different
settings. How far do you support or oppose these proposals
4,563 people answered this question. Of these:
36% respondents answering this question support the proposals to deliver different
forms of care in different settings
56% oppose
8% had no views either way or were not sure/ didn‟t know
In addition to this feedback we also received feedback from the following organisations:
London Borough of Hounslow Health and Adult Care Scrutiny Panel
“We support the proposals to deliver different forms of care in different settings. We await
further detail on what some of the proposed care settings will look like in practice. We would
think it essential that there is consistency across the NW sector in relation to the services
patients can access in each setting. Without a level of consistency, patients will find it harder
to know which care setting is appropriate for their care needs.”
London Borough of Hounslow Health and Adult Care Scrutiny Panel
“We strongly support the proposal to use high quality hospital sites with capacity to deliver
elective care. West Middlesex Hospital in Hounslow has been working for several years to
increase the number of elective procedures carried out on site. We understand that this
portfolio of work is intrinsic to the hospital regaining financial balance and securing its long
term future. We believe that the proposals provide an opportunity to give impetus to this
work.”
Imperial College Healthcare NHS Trust
“Based on previous work with NWL we recognise the value of separating elective from acute
activities and can clearly see potential for expansion of the elective hospital model either on
unique sites or organised as such on larger campuses. Such an approach has the potential
to provide a more streamlined patient experience, better outcomes and substantial
efficiencies not only in the delivery of quality care for patients requiring elective treatment but
also in the delivery of acute and specialist care.”
Royal College of Paediatrics and Child Health
“We strongly support the principle of care provision using integrated care pathways within
the clinical network model, and that outcome measures must drive service improvement.
The project team has described a strong vision for how primary care and community based
services should be strengthened in order to support a model in which inpatient care is
delivered by concentrated teams working on fewer major hospital sites… We agree that all
major hospital should have an inpatient paediatric unit, as well as the possible neonatal
service at Queen Charlotte’s and Chelsea Hospital, dependent on the other finally agreed
locations.”
