INTRODUCTION 1.1 This policy covers eligibility for Health and Social Care equipment for residents in registered care homes and community day care services, in line with the National Minimum Standards for Registered s and defines: The requirements on s to provide standard equipment in line with the National Minimum Standards which can be viewed on line at: The statutory requirements of Primary Care Trusts who have responsibilities to provide certain equipment for people assessed as eligible for NHS Continuing Health Care in line with the National Framework for NHS Continuing Health Care and NHS Funded Nursing Care. (revised 2009) Bespoke equipment to be provided by ICES to their service users with an assessed need. 1.2 The Nottinghamshire ICES Partnership provides equipment to eligible people resident within the Nottinghamshire county boundaries. (Note: this is making a distinction between local authority boundaries which work to resident population as compared to PCT s which normally work to GP registered populations) 2. POLICY 2.1 An Integrated Community Equipment Service has been established through a Partnership Agreement between the Local Authorities, Nottingham City Council, Nottinghamshire County Council, and the three Primary Care Trusts within Nottinghamshire, Nottingham City, Bassetlaw and Nottinghamshire County. For the purpose of this document, PCT translates into any Health successor bodies. 2.2 A pooled equipment arrangement means that all the funding for the community equipment service from the two local authorities and the three Primary Care Trusts in Nottinghamshire goes into a common purse. This is managed by - 2 -
3 Nottinghamshire County Council on behalf of all the agencies and applies to all equipment. 2.3 Equipment will only be supplied following an assessment by Health and / or Social Care workers in accordance with each agency's eligibility criteria, as determined by the respective authorities and outlined in the Nottinghamshire ICES Eligibility Criteria. 2.4 It is recognised that in complex situations where a range of equipment may be required, it may be necessary to complete a joint assessment between Health & Social Care Professionals to identify provision. 2.5 Only equipment required to meet an essential need as defined by the eligibility criteria of each authority will be supplied. If the standard catalogue equipment on general distribution does not meet the service users assessed needs, the assessor will follow agreed procedures to identify suitable non standard alternative. 2.6 Equipment will be delivered and fitted by the service provider agreed within the Contract. All equipment is bar coded for audit purposes and regularly serviced and maintained by the Service Provider. 2.7 All equipment is allocated on a loan basis. When it is no longer required by the named service user it must be returned to the Service Provider. British Red Cross - is the provider of the equipment service in Nottinghamshire known as ICES Nottingham City and Nottinghamshire (Integrated Community Equipment Service). Phone no and Fax no For the purposes of this document the Service Provider is BRC British Red Cross 3. LEGISLATION 3.1 The relevant legislation can be found within outcome 11 on: 10_FINAL.pdf 3.2 The regulations ensure that service users have access to the adaptations and equipment they need and place responsibility for providing these services onto care homes. This expectation complies with not only their statement of purpose but also with the contract they have with the statutory agencies. Under this contract providers are required to meet the needs of their residents. This should include an assessment by the manager prior to placement and the need for equipment should be part of this assessment. 3.3 s should have sufficient adaptive equipment to meet a range of mobility needs. This should include items such as hoists, slings, parker baths, bath hoists, handrails etc

ADVICE AND GUIDANCE 4.1 Care homes may decide to seek advice from suitably qualified professionals and the Care Quality Commission about registration or about undertaking further assessments with individual residents, but it is the responsibility of the care home to arrange and pay (if required) for both the advice and any equipment needed. Disabled Living Centres may offer assistance to residents and registered patients of Nottingham City. 4.2 The Statutory Agencies may provide bespoke equipment in order to respond to exceptional assessed needs. Bespoke equipment, is equipment which is specifically tailored to meet an individuals assessed need.

Assessing staff will include in their assessment the need for specialist equipment and liaise with the day service manager/owner / registered person or health care worker as appropriate. In the case of slings, staff will need to consider compatibility with hoisting equipment available. 5.3 Prior to residential care (planned respite or long-term) the key worker will include in their assessment the need for bespoke equipment only and liaise with the home as appropriate. Equipment (with the exception of bespoke equipment) must not be transferred between locations due to the risk of contamination. Seven days notice is required for ordering equipment with delivery and collection dates. 5.4 For equipment requirements in the case of unplanned/ emergency respite, contact the Notts ICES Partnership Manager or your respective ICES Clinical Lead. 5.5 Registered s are expected to provide equipment fit for purpose in line with the National minimum standards for a registered care home, to meet - 4 -
5 individual needs identified by the care plan. Homes also have obligations to their workforce in respect of health and safety. 5.6 Equipment supplied by ICES for an identified specific need and in line with the guidance developed and set out in this document, must be returned following the death or discharge of the Service User within the specified timescale; a hire charge or full replacement cost will be administered for failure to comply. 5.7 PCT s are responsible for providing specialist medical and nursing equipment e.g. specialist feeding equipment for residents in s.

MOVING FROM THE COMMUNITY TO A HOME OR TRANSFERRING TO A HOME IN ANOTHER AUTHORITY 8.1 ICES Funded Equipment When a person is admitted to a long term care placement, all Standard equipment prescribed to a service user in their own home, from the ICES loans service must be returned to ICES When transferring from a care home within the Nottinghamshire partnership area to a care home in another area, again, standard equipment provided to the service user must be returned. The key worker will liaise with the new area to arrange for equipment provision from the relevant equipment service For bespoke equipment ordered through the ICES service, arrangements will need to be made for the equipment to be transferred with the service user and the new authority invoiced for the current value of the equipment. The new authority will then become responsible for the ongoing service and maintenance. The key worker must agree with the new authority that a transfer can be completed, but the ICES Partnership Manager is responsible for negotiating a suitable transfer price. Infection control procedures must be followed to support all transfers. 8.2 PCT / Continuing Care Funded Equipment Where a person in receipt of NHS Continuing Health Care moves to a PCT outside of the Nottinghamshire Partnership area, all ICES standard community equipment should be returned to the ICES service that provided the equipment.
