Appendix 1 To provide an insight of the possible reasons that the Tees local authorities are the bottom four authorities in the North East in terms of CHC cases. Reasons for this include access to a range of services listed below; • one community hospital (Carter Bequest) • one hospice (Teesside Hospice) • 24 hour District Nurse Team • Intermediate care Services (MICC) • Discharge to assess bed provision in Belle Vue care home • Marie Curie service • MacMillan service Other areas do not always have access to such a broad range of community based services which often provide an alternative to CHC. If patients are referred to any of the services above, then there will be no need for a referral for a DST. NB: these alternative community services are funded by South Tees CCG.
