Was an assessment for fully-funded NHS care done prior to Ms Leathams readmission from Laurel Bank?
LL [Lily Leatham] was admitted to hospital from Laurel Bank in June 2003. An assessment of her needs against continuing care criteria was requested and fully funded continuing care agreed at that time. LL was discharged to Ghyll Royd in August 2003. Prior to that, while in Laurel Bank, there were determinations for nursing care as you are aware. If the RNCC had identified deterioration whereby a continuing care assessment was required, or if the home or any other medical staff had felt a continuing care assessment was necessary, then of course this would have been carried out. What were the qualifications of Calderdale PCT’s representative to carry out the most recent assessment of Ms Leatham last year in the Leeds nursing home? The whole Specialist Care Team are of medical or nursing background, who are very experienced professionals in their field and who have access to any appropriate further specialist assessments they require e.g. medical, specialist nursing etc.
