  • Consultation Document Changes to Rehabilitation Services in North East Glasgow
    CONSULTATION DOCUMENT CHANGES TO REHABILITATION SERVICES IN NORTH EAST GLASGOW 1. INTRODUCTION 1.1 Proposals for Consultation This paper sets out the detailed information on our consultation proposal for changes to rehabilitation services in North East (NE) Glasgow. Those changes replace the services currently provided at Lightburn Hospital by providing: - acute inpatient care on to sites with full acute facilities; - community rehabilitation beds in local care homes providing intermediate care; - more rehabilitation in patients’ homes; - Medicalised outpatient and day services on sites with full acute services. The proposals outlined in this document have been developed and refined during the engagement process to reflect the issues raised by the patients, carers and local interests who responded to the engagement. The report of that engagement and the other documents referred to in this paper are available on our consultation website at: http://www.nhsggc.org.uk/get-in-touch-get-involved/inform-engage-and-consult/changes-to- rehabilitation-services-in-north-east-glasgow-lightburn-hospital/ The rest of this section shows how we have carefully considered and responded to issues from the engagement in developing our approach to consultation. - Impact on inequalities. There were clear views from responses that Lightburn fulfils a particular need, generated by the socio-economic profile of the area, for health care services to be available locally and a number of responses have highlighted concerns about the impact on a deprived area of losing a local hospital service. An EQIA of the proposed changes, which effect small numbers of patients, did not raise major issues. In the light of this concern the Board’s Director of Public Health is commissioning a review of these issues, the brief for which is available on our consultation website.
