CAMHS TIER 4 RECONFIGURATION
Business Case
Figure 3. Option 4
Option 5 – Children & Younger Adults to New Extension; Eating Disorders (Irwin) and Acute
Assessment & HDU (Ashfield) to be Modified
This option supports the following works and moves:
■
■
■
■
New first floor extension at Parkview constructed;
Eating Disorders (Irwin Ward) to move to extension whilst Irwin Ward is modified, and
Eating Disorders moved back;
Acute Assessment & HDU (on Ashfield Ward) to move to the new extension whilst
Ashfield Ward is modified, then Acute Assessment & HDU moved back; and
Children & Younger Adolescents to finally transfer to the new extension.
At the end point, this option delivers a total of 44 beds, of which 33 are single (an increase of
26 beds on the current provision).
Both Options 5 and 7 include the reconfiguration of the Acute Assessment & HDU areas on
Ashfield Ward, which offers the Trust an opportunity to relocate its Section 136 Safety Suite –
currently located in an isolated position on the top floor of Parkview – to be relocated to the
Ashfield Ward. The proposal would be to create a dual purpose space which meets the Place
of Safety requirements and includes emergency bed provision.
