Report by Charles McKerron, Interim Integrated Services Manager

A report by Charles McKerron, Interim Integrated Services Manager, informed the Board of concerns raised by family members about risks associated with the pilot for an alternative approach to the provision of overnight care and support for people with a learning disability in Moray and how these risks will be addressed by the pilot project.

 

Lengthy discussion took place on how the pilot would work and what this would mean for service users.  It was stated there would be no intrusion of privacy but that passive monitoring would be put in place e.g. pressure mats and door sensors to alert the overnight services that someone was out of bed.

 

The Interim Integrated Services Manager advised that two families were opposed to the pilot however it was felt there are always insecurities when trying to change and this was about doing what was right for the majority of people. 

 

Thereafter the Board agreed to:

  1. approve the 12 week pilot for an overnight responder service;

  2. note the potential long term benefits; and

  3. note the evaluation of the pilot will be presented to the Board in January 2020.
