HEALTH SCRUTINY JOINT COMMITTEE RESPONSE TO KEY ISSUES RAISED WITH REGARD TO CONSULTATION ON THE PROPOSED CHANGES TO EMERGENCY MEDICAL AND CRITICAL CARE SERVICES IN HARTLEPOOL. IMPACT ON DURHAM, HARTLEPOOL AND STOCKTON RESIDENTS: The follow ing table summarises the numbers of admissions to the University Hospital Hartlepool (based on the activity for 2012/13), and the likely impact of the proposed changes. Activity for the Hartlepool and Stockton CCG is split according to the previous PCT catchments to identify the impact appropriately. Assumptions Assumptions adopted in predicting the impact are as follows: Elective activity: 7% of admissions admitted to the University Hospital of North Tees ( UHNT) instead of the University Hospital of Hartlepool, (UHH) irrespective of home address as these decisions are based on clinical condition. 1
Emergency activity: 95% of Durham Dales, Easington and Sedgefield patients admitted to the UHNT instead of UHH. 5% likely to be admitted to other providers 95% of Hartlepool patients admitted to UHNT instead of UHH. 5% likely to be admitted to other providers. 100% of Stockton patients to be admitted to UHNT 95% of other patients admitted to UHNT. 5% likely to be admitted to other providers. Ambulatory care: 100% of patients admitted to UHNT. The impact on individual patients may be summar ised as: • The patient w ill not have to do anything different once these changes are put into place. • The patient w ill still visit or call their GP, call 111 if they feel unwell or call 999 in an emergency as they do now . • 97% of patient contacts with healthcare services provided by the Trust will remain in Hartlepool The current bed numbers across both hospitals and the numbers follow ing implementation of the proposals are summarised below : In-patient Bed numbers (does not include day case beds and preassessment beds) Current bed numbers After proposed changes University Hospital of Hartlepool 190 55 University Hospital of North Tees 408 530 Trust total 598 585 Quality and Safety These proposals offer a response to national and local policy requirements w hich dictate the need for change to improve the quality and clinical safety of the services provided. These are w elcomed by the Trust as they support its objective to improve clinical outcomes for its patients. The Trust w ill continue to seek and respond to such guidance. The Trust at all times considers quality and safety a priority and works with the CCG to optimise opportunities to develop services to meet the healthcare needs of the population. The trust’s undertaking to sustain and improve quality and safety must be balanced w ith operational efficiency and financial performance. Hartlepool and Stockton-on-Tees CCG are also part of the Securing Health Quality in Health Services project (SeQHIS). The overall aim of the project is to reach a consensus on the clinical quality standards in acute services we want to achieve, using levels of national best practice as a starting point and to identify opportunities for meeting these standards and assess the financial environment and w orkforce constraints in w hich such improvements may take place. The five service areas covered by the project are: 2
