Specialist Services
Options for the provision of specialist services for longer-term healthcare for people with neurological conditions in Western Sussex (Feb - Jun 2006)
The Future of Donald Wilson House
Project Outline (Project Initiation Document)
Summary
The National service Framework for Long Term Conditions sets out a vision for the future pattern of care for neurological diseases and presents a golden opportunity to re-design services in Western Sussex.
Existing specialist services are provided from Donald Wilson House, on the St Richard's Hospital campus but the building is rapidly approaching the end of its useful life.
An additional opportunity is therefore presented to re-build a modern facility as part of a re-designed integrated service to meet the needs of those with longer-term neurological conditions in line with the new vision.
It is proposed that the design of the new service is done in partnership with social and caring services, the community and voluntary sector, and service users. The local Longer-Term Health Network is best placed to manage the project and recommendations should be made by June 2006.
Terms of Reference
Identify options to optimise the replacement of Donald Wilson House in the context of the National Service Framework and to make recommendations to Western Sussex Primary Care Trust by June 2006.
