Providing safe and high quality care leading up to the opening of the new hospital A consultation on how best to ensure people have access to the safest and best quality, acute medical and critical care they need, in the lead up to the opening of the new hospital by: Hartlepool and Stockton-on-Tees Clinical Commissioning Group Durham, Dales, Easington and Sedgefield Clinical Commissioning Group North Tees and Hartlepool NHS Foundation Trust Consultation begins 20 May and ends 11 August 2013 01642 666815 01642 666815 01642 666815 01642 666815 01642 666815 01642 666815 01642 666815 2 Consultation document 2013
Why are we carrying out this consultation? The commissioners’ view Dr Boleslaw Posmyk Chair, Hartlepool and Stocktonon-Tees Clinical Commissioning Group (CCG) Dr Paul Williams Stockton-on- Tees locality lead, Hartlepool and Stockton-on-Tees CCG and governing body member Dr Mike Smith Hartlepool locality lead, Hartlepool and Stockton-on- Tees CCG Dr Stewart Findlay Chief clinical officer, Durham, Dales, Easington and Sedgefield Clinical Commissioning Group We are carrying out this consultation because the doctors who provide emergency medical and critical care services at North Tees and Hartlepool NHS Foundation Trust have told us they cannot carry on providing these services safely and to the expected quality standards on two sites until the new hospital opens in 2017. We buy these services from the hospitals for local people and we are responsible for their safety and quality. As commissioners we cannot wait until a problem arises before acting. Our job is to look forward and try to prevent problems from happening because this is in the interest of patients and everyone we serve. We asked the National Clinical Advisory Team to visit us to listen to the doctors, nurses and managers, patient representatives, politicians and other stakeholders so they could give us an independent view of the situation and what we should do about it. The National Clinical Advisory Team provide independent clinical expertise to support and guide the local NHS on service reconfiguration proposals to ensure safe, effective and accessible services for patients. Our team was lead by Dr Chris Clough from Kings College Hospital, London. We now have a copy of the National Clinical Advisory Team report and this is why we are now holding this consultation. The report said we should: work with the trust to centralise emergency medical services and critical care to the University Hospital of North Tees as soon as possible explain to the public what this means for them, which is why we are including a number of examples later in this document ask their views about the things that they are concerned about, especially how they and their relatives get to hospital 3 Consultation document 2013
