Issue details

The Rapid Response Pathway, Community Bed based Health & Social Intermediate Care is part of transformation of intermediate care and wider system redesign as part of Doncaster Place Plan. The Positive Step capacity to support DTOC is also part of the Intermediate care redesign. Both business cases requested an extension of 12 months in March 2019. These were approved but only for six months and both were aligned to be reviewed at the same time. It was anticipated that through the Intermediate Care review, the future model and hence funding for the Rapid Response Pathway and Positive Steps Unit – PSU - would have been secured. However, this has not happened in the timescales required. An extension of a further six months has therefore been agreed.
