The Lead Commissioner: Integrated Care Services introduced a report which provided an update on the transfer of the D2A (Discharge to Assess) bed-based provision from the range of services in the independent care home sector, to a single service operated by the NHS. The proposal to proceed with this model was supported by this Committee on 7 June, 2021 (minute 9 refers).

The Lead Commissioner and Director of Care and Health responded to a number of comments from Members, assuring the Committee of the Infection Prevention Control measures in place at Clatterbridge. The Director spoke of the very fluid occupancy situation with regard to the 71 beds available and the additional beds being currently unavailable due to Covid, but due to open shortly. 

The Director of Public Health confirmed the current Covid regulations and the self-isolation period, currently 10 days which would continue until the end of March, although with a negative lateral flow test on days five and six, it was possible to leave the isolation period earlier.

Resolved – That the report be noted.
