LCFT Unscheduled Care Mental Health Transformation Programme: Lancashire Care NHS Foundation Trust working in partnership with Blackburn with Darwen CCG has ambitious plans for a full scale redesign of its crisis mental health pathway to support the delivery of the mental health crisis concordat outcomes. Blackburn with Darwen CCG as lead commissioner are working closely with LCFT and the Lancashire Commissioning Support Unit (CSU) to undertake a Lancashire wide review of the Unscheduled Care (Crisis) pathways within LCFT as part of its planned commissioning intentions. The objective of this work is to review all of the service specifications and commission an updated single unscheduled crisis pathway that ensures that patients (age inclusive) receive the same consistent level of care across Lancashire 24/7. Work is taking place to ensure that collaborative planning takes place for the Mental Health Unscheduled Care redesign work and the MH Care Crisis Concordat and ensure that there is not any unnecessary duplication of work. There is a 'shadow' specification currently being written and this will be incorporated within the LCFT contract on 1st April 2015, once agreement has been obtained from all CCG's and LCFT. It is planned that a review will take place in Sept 2015. At the 6 month review the pilots being delivered will be reviewed and a decision will be made as to whether they should be delivered across Lancashire. It is anticipated that changes could be identified and agreed in year. It should be noted that the crisis care concordat action plan is underpinned by a number of local specific plans relating to a wide range of stakeholders and concordat will be reviewed and refreshed. Progress is ongoing and a further version will be submitted with updated detail of the progress achieved.
