    ADDITIONAL AGENDA ITEM Report To: Inverclyde Alliance Board Date: 3rd October 2016 Report By: Brian Moore Report No: Corporate Director, (Chief Officer) Inverclyde Health and Social Care Partnership (HSCP) Contact Officer: Helen Watson Contact No: 01475 715285 Head of Service: Planning, Health Improvement & Commissioning Subject: NHS Greater Glasgow and Clyde Service Changes 1.0 PURPOSE 1.1 To update the Board on the NHS Greater Glasgow and Clyde service changes and the proposed approach to engagement agreed at the NHS Board meeting of 16th August 2016. 2.0 SUMMARY 2.1 At the June 2016 meeting of the NHS Board, four service changes were agreed. These related to: • Paediatric services at the Royal Alexandra Hospital; • Rehabilitation services at Lightburn Hospital; • Delivery Services in the Community Maternity Units; • Inpatient care at the Centre for Integrative Care. 2.2 Of these four areas of change, two are likely to have implications for Inverclyde residents, namely the move of paediatric services from the Royal Alexandra Hospital, and the changes to delivery services in the Community Maternity Unit at the Inverclyde Royal Hospital. 2.3 The latest NHS Board paper highlights that the proposal to move the Paediatric Inpatient Services in Ward 15 at the Royal Alexandra Hospital to the Royal Hospital for Sick Children had been agreed in 2012. Following engagement on the proposal, the preferred option was that the service should move, but this should be after the new Royal Hospital for Children opened on the new Queen Elizabeth University Hospital’s Campus. 2.4 Changes to the delivery services in the Community Maternity Units mean that Inverclyde women will continue to receive antenatal and postnatal care at the local hospital, but intrapartum services (i.e.

  • Our Letter to NHS Greater Glasgow and Clyde
    National Office, Delta House, 50 West Nile Street, Glasgow, G1 2NP t: 0141 241 6308 f: 0141 221 2529 textphone: 0141 241 6316 Ms Catriona Renfrew Director of Planning and Policy NHS Greater Glasgow and Clyde JB Russell House Gartnavel Royal Hospital Campus 08 December 2016 Glasgow G12 0XH Dear Catriona NHS Greater Glasgow and Clyde – Changes to North East Glasgow Rehabilitation Services We refer to the proposal by NHS Greater Glasgow and Clyde to reshape the delivery of rehabilitation services for older people in North East Glasgow. This would result in the transfer of inpatient services from Lightburn Hospital to Glasgow Royal Infirmary and Stobhill Hospital, and to local care home and community facilities in North East Glasgow. It is also proposed that the day hospital would transfer from Lightburn Hospital to form a combined service at Stobhill Hospital and outpatient clinics would move to Glasgow Royal Infirmary or Stobhill Hospital. We are advised that a number of local locations have been scoped for the Parkinson’s Support Group meeting and have been offered to patients and the group for consideration. Lightburn Hospital would close as a consequence of these proposed changes. NHS Greater Glasgow and Clyde consulted on proposed change to services at Lightburn Hospital in 2010. At the time, the proposal (to transfer inpatient services to Stobhill Hospital) was considered a major service change. The proposal was not approved by the Cabinet Secretary for Health and Wellbeing, who also gave recommendations for moving forward. We understand that the current proposal is different to that consulted on in 2010, but still entails the closure of Lightburn Hospital.
