18. Three recurring themes Access to care - ability to access appointments, and the location of services relative to locality Transport –perceived difficulty in getting to services, relatives ability to visit, and negotiating the local transport network. Specific hospitals – the ability of Pinderfields to cope, the impact on care in Dewsbury and viability of Dewsbury in the long term

19. Access to Care Themes are related to locality of services Moving services from Dewsbury diminishes my local options Getting to specialists in an emergency is more difficult and feels like more of a risk Planned procedures and births that have difficulties are further from Specialists creating risk Increase in use of Pinderfields will mean that my waiting times will get longer and booking appointments more difficult

20. Specific hospitals Themes relate to the viability of the services Worries on Pinderfields ability to cope both in terms of staffing and in operational areas such as parking Worries about the long term viability of Dewsbury hospital with the removal of services Why Pinderfields and not Dewsbury? The availability of health services at Pontefract including consultant led A&E

21. Transport The themes relate to locality and access Specialist services in Pinderfields means inconvenience and barriers through transport and travel implications Families and visitors will have to travel more in the new configuration The impact on vulnerable members of the community and those without private transport may be significant There are concerns over emergency transfers and time to A&E in emergency creating additional risk

22. Priorities for care A&E – well equipped ambulances and response times Maternity – local services and access to specialists Surgery and outpatients – access to specialists and fewer cancellations Children’s services – access to specialists and local outpatients appointments Transport – Public transport infrastructure and car parking

23. Overall There is significant concern that relate to ability to Access Services, the implications for Specific Hospitals and the Transport consequences of the proposals All residents share these concerns although they are more acutely felt in North Kirklees There has been significant and vocal opposition from campaigns and stakeholders in this process, again particularly in North Kirklees

24. Deliberative event Recommendations Communication on what exists to build confidence that community care is suitable A realisable model of community care 24/7 GPs on rota with access to records Communication related to outcomes not changes Effective communication and engagement to ensure community understand changes Personalised health budgets and planning

25. Conclusions Decision makers should be aware of the persistent concerns raised There is further work to be done to reassure people over the impact of the changes Clear process to monitor any change and its real impact over time Effective and consistent communication to address anxieties Realising the objectives set out is likely to make the population more positive about the changes

26. Questions from the Governing Bodies

27. Martin Carter Head of Communications & Engagement Meeting the Challenge

28. Established to oversee consultation output as it emerged Key tasks: to assess impact of any major concerns and challenges to clinical case – gaining assurance where appropriate to advise the CCGs if any issue had arisen which would mean extending or re-opening consultation to assess the robustness and effectiveness of the consultation Joint Advisory and Review Group (JARG)

29. The consultation was robust and high quality All issues requiring further assurance had been referred to the National Clinical Advisory Team (NCAT) and assurance secured Nothing had arisen which required extension or reopening of consultation JARG conclusions

30. Implement the recommendations of the Travel Advisory Group (TAG) - future costs of the shuttle bus to be shared proportionately between the 2 CCGs Consider findings and recommendations from the deliberative event ( 2 July 2013) Take account of high levels of opposition– particularly in North Kirklees and reflect on the differences in views between North Kirklees and other residents JARG recommendations

31. Plan for continuous engagement of stakeholders (including patients/public) in implementing the proposals Communicate to raise awareness of the real implications of the Clinical Services Strategy The boards should assure themselves of the long term financial sustainability of the proposals The boards should weigh up the balance between public feedback, the clinical case for change and financial affordability JARG recommendations (contd)
