1 Lothian NHS Board = Waverley Gate 2-4 Waterloo Place Edinburgh EH1 3EG = Telephone: Date: 13/01/2016 Our Ref: 581 Enquiries to : Bryony Pillath Extension: Direct Line: bryony.pillath@nhslothian.scot.nhs.uk Dear FREEDOM OF INFORMATION PALLIATIVE CARE I write in response to your request for information in relation to palliative care services in NHS Lothian. Question: 1. Do you provide and/or commission a 24/7 dedicated and clinically staffed palliative service specifically designed for patients dying at home, and their carers? Answer: Yes, NHS Lothian provides palliative care services for end of life care at home for both children and adults. Question: 2. Please complete the table (see the second attachment to this ) detailing which specific palliative services you provide and/or commission, the hours of operation and geographic areas that they cover for NB. For the purposes of our research, we would only consider you to commission these palliative services listed in the table if they are specifically designed for patients dying, and their carers, as opposed to a more general service that might only incidentally cover end of life care. Answer: I have enclosed the completed table with regard to adult palliative care services in NHS Lothian. For children s services Care 24 provision, please see the attached overview of the service. Question: 3. What is your annual budget for all dedicated end of life care services provided and commissioned for the current financial year, ? If it is impossible for you to give a precise figure for whatever reason, please give a best estimate. Answer:
2 581 Palliative Care January 2016 The annual budget for dedicated Palliative Care Services and support to hospice provision for the year is 5.5 million. Other services also provide elements of palliative care, but it is not possible to separate these costs from the other costs of these services. Question: 4. What is this as a % of your total budget? Again, if you cannot give a precise figure here, please give a best estimate. Answer: Based on NHS Lothian s current Total Scottish Government Revenue Resource Allocation, the dedicated Palliative Care Services element of spending is 0.40% of NHS Lothian s total budget allocation by the Scottish Government. Question: 5. Do you work in partnership with other organisations to deliver palliative care services in the community? If yes, state who the lead provider is. Answer: Children s Services For adults palliative care services, NHS Lothian works with the Lothian Marie Curie Hospice Nursing Team, the Marie Curie Hospice, St Columbus Hospice, Macmillan Nurses East Lothian and West Lothian Macmillan / Marie Curie Team. For children s palliative care services, NHS Lothian works with the following organisations: - Continuing Care Service (Sunndach House and Calareidh House). These are two purpose built residential facilities that can be used as step down discharge from hospital, or preferred place of care for end of life. Both houses employ registered nursing and healthcare support worker staff and provide palliative and end of life care; - Children s Hospice Association Scotland (CHAS). For delivery of the Care 24 palliative care at home service. CHAS provide the out of hours support to patients and carers days a week. NHS Lothian Children s Community Services provides the part of the service; - Lothian Paediatric Outreach Service. Provides support to children and parents or carers within the child s home where the child has increased levels of nursing needs, and to support the child attending school where they require 1:1 care.

11 INTRODUCTION All children and young people (CYP) within NHS Lothian, who are recognised as entering the end of life phase of their illness, deserve high quality end of life care, delivered in the place of their choice. This partnership working between Children s Hospice Association Scotland (CHAS) and Children s Services within NHS Lothian, aims to provide 24 hour, home based care at the end of life for children and young people living within NHS Lothian. This framework details how NHS Lothian Community Children s Nursing Service, NHS Lothian Senior Clinical Nurse Specialist (Children and Young People s Palliative Care), Paediatric Oncology Outreach Nursing Service and Children s Hospice Association Scotland (CHAS) specifically Rachel House Children s Hospice care team, will work together to deliver this service. This joint service will be from here on referred to as Care 24. The keys principles of the following documents underpin the service to ensure safe, effective and person centered care: Getting it Right for Every Child (GIRFEC) Framework 1 Living and Dying Well (2008): a national action plan for palliative and end of life care in Scotland 2 Living and Dying Well Building on Progress(2011) 3 A framework for the delivery of palliative care for children and young people in Scotland (2012): Scottish Children and Young People s Palliative Care Executive Group 4 A Core Care Pathway for Children with Life-Limiting and Life Threatening Conditions(2013): Together for Short Lives 5 Standards framework for children s palliative care(2013) Together for Short Lives 6 The Anticipatory Care Plan (ACP) and Child and Young Person Acute Deterioration Management (CYPADM) form are tools used as part of overall advanced care planning for any CYP with a life limiting condition and are integral to ensuring person centered care 3. It includes capturing resuscitation planning and choice for care during episodes of acute deterioration and at end of life. An ACP is used for proactive planning and can help improve the management of symptoms, enhance quality of life for a child or young person and their family, helping to prevent crisis situations and unscheduled admissions to hospital 2. In palliative care it is acknowledged that diagnosing the exact timing of the end of life phase is not always straightforward. The disease trajectory of cancer is generally recognisable with a steady progression of the disease and more predictable end of life phase 7. Where in non-malignant disease, episodes of deterioration can fluctuate making diagnosing end of life phase less predictable and therefore all end of life care planning requires to be reviewed on a 24 hour basis.
