Issue - meetings

This was a report written by Mr Peter Davis from the Community Learning Disability Team. The report was a bi-monthly update that came to the Board to provide assurances that people with learning disabilities were safeguarded in the context of issues that previously arose from the Serious Case Review of Winterbourne Hospital in 2012.

The Executive Director of Education, Health and Care Services provided an overview of the report to the Board. It was noted that as far as possible, placements would be provided close to home; however this was not always feasible. It was always the case that the objective would be to facilitate the effective integration of care and medical treatment.   

RESOLVED that

  I.  the contents of the report be noted

  II.  the Board agreed that all necessary measures were currently in place to safeguard adults with Learning Disabilities in Assessment and Treatment Units
