Technical requirements: Provision of Complex Care Inpatient Rehabilitation for people with Mental Health needs for Enfield CCG and Haringey CCG Currently this is provided on a spot purchase arrangements across the country in various private and NHS provisions. The proposal is to provide this service within the borough of Enfield. This meets the requirements of the NHS five year Forward plan for Mental Health with Services provided closer to home. We are proposing to merge this contract into the current larger Mental Health Contract to meet this requirement.
Enfield CCG (and on behalf of Haringey CCG ) will undertake a contract variation with Barnet Enfield and Haringey Mental Health Trust, and incorporate the development of a 14 bedded local inpatient Rehabilitation Service.. (local secure inpatient rehabilitation service for people with complex and enduring mental health issues) in the borough of Enfield. This will be within the existing block contract arrangement Enfield CCG already has with BEH-MHT. The new inpatient rehabilitation Service will be jointly funded by Enfield and Haringey CCGS. (Enfield will be purchasing 10 beds and Haringey 2 beds). BEH-MHT already provide the care coordination, care planning, risk management and community treatment for people with complex mental health needs, and this would mean that BEH-MHT would be commissioned to provide a complete end to end pathway for this patient cohort.
This will improve outcomes for people with complex mental health needs and their carers living in Enfield and Haringey as this will enable delivery of care closer to home and providing a local treatment option for people living in the Enfield and Haringey communities.
The Current provision of secure inpatient rehabilitation services for people with complex and enduring mental health issues is based on a spot purchasing agreement with a variety of providers across the United Kingdom.
This in effect means that patients/ service users are placed many miles from Enfield and Haringey, which results in them being away from their main support networks, and care coordination can become very fragmented.
Our proposal is to incorporate the complex care inpatient service into the main mental health pathway in Enfield by the award of this contract to Barnet Enfield Haringey Mental Health Trust (BEH-MHT) by use of a waiver under the provisions of the NHS Regulations 2013 and its focus on integration, avoidance of cost duplication and serving the needs of patients.
Enfield CCG is seeking to ensure that all future mental health provision is provided within the borough of Enfield area wherever possible. Haringey CCG as a local partner in the North Central London has agreed to participate in this new development, as a neighbouring borough.
Barnet Enfield Haringey Mental Health Trust (BEH-MHT) already provides the majority of MH provision for Enfield.
Enfield CCG believes that by bringing this service under the main mental health contract, we will ensure that there is a sufficient supply of local services available for use by local people in both Enfield and Haringey.
BEH-MHT already provides the care coordination, care planning, risk management, and community treatment for this cohort of patients and this would mean that BEHMT would be commissioned to provide a complete end to end pathway under the block contract arrangement for people with complex health needs living in Enfield and Haringey. .
As Enfield CCG and Haringey CCG already closely monitor and manage the provision of mental health services, we believe that consistency and quality can be maintained within this new arrangement. Our long term plan is to eliminate all out of area placements in accordance with the 5 year forward Mental Health plan by 2021.
