RESOLVED:
To
receive a future report on progress and timescales with the AMHP
service in July 2024 outlining a plan to disaggregate when it is
safe and legal to do so.
Reason for decision
Approving the proposed option will see a reprofiling of the
disaggregation of the service and will provide time to give greater
assurance on when the service will be able to disaggregate, by
ensuring staff can be recruited, adequately trained and qualified
to provide safe and effective service delivery and to prepare how
the service should be managed to carry out its duties with the
Emergency Duty Team activities transferring out from NCT who
currently provide the service.
Reprofiling the disaggregation of the service will reduce the
significant risks to people with serious mental health problems as
well as reducing risks of Local Authority liability and
reputational damage to NNC and WNC
Alternative Options Considered
Option B – Continue as a hosted service and not to
disaggregate at all.
