Hi Mark,
We have received the update Barrett Adolesence Centre info. Let me know if this doesn't hit the mark?

Many thanks
Simone

Whilst making the decision, the WestMoreton Hospital and Health Board considered
documentation put forward by the Planning Group in May 2013 and seven recommendations

IR
ele

made by Vie Expert Clinical Reference Group (ECR6). Further key stakeholder consultation was
then conducted m'th the Department of Health, the Queensland Mental Health Commissioner,
the Department of Education Training and Employment, and Children's Health Queensland.
The work of the ECRG, the Planning Gmup and the subsequent consultation process has enabled
us to progress the Strategy to the next phase. As identified in an announcement by The Minister
of Health, adolescents requiring extended mental health treatment and rehabilitation will receive

services through a new range of contemporary service options from early 2014. Young people
receiving care from Barrett Adolescent Centre at that time will be supported to transition to other
contemporary care options that best meet their individual needs.

Importantly, the goal in WestMoreton Hospital and Health Service continues to be to ensure
that adolescents requiring mental health extended treatment and rehabilitation will receive the
most appropriate care for their Individual needs. We will also continue to pmvide information and

support as needed to staff at the Barrett Adolescent Centre. The transition process will be

RT

managed carefully to ensure that there is no gap to service provision.

Further information in regards to the strategy can be found at

Note the current status of consumers at the Barrett Adolescent Centre (BAG).
And
Provide this brief to the Minister for information.

Urgency

1. Urgent - The Ministers Office has requested an urgent update on the current status of
Headline Issues
2. The top issues are:

IR
ele

consumers at BAG.

. In August 2013 the Minister for Health announced that adolescents requiring extended
mental health treatment and rehabilitation will receive services through a new range of
contemporaryservice options from early 2014. Children's Health Queensland Hospital
and Health Service (CHQ HHS) is responsible for the governance of the new service
options to be implemented as part of its statewide role in providing healthcare for
Queensland's children.

The Minister for Health and West Moreton HHS Board gave a public commitment to
ongoing provision of safe and comprehensive clinical care for BAG consumers during
the transition to the new statewide adolescent extended treatment and rehabilitation
services.

A flexible closure date of the end of January 2014 for the BAG building has been
announced. This date may change dependent on all consumers having appropriate

RT

transition plans in place and continuity ofservice delivery.

Blueprint
3. How does this align with the Blueprint for Better Healthcare in Queensland?

. Providing Queenslanders with value in health services - value for taxpayers' money.
. Better patient care in the community setting, utilising safe, sustainable and responsive
service models - delivering best patient care.
Key issues
4. There are currently 13 consumers at BAG (6 inpatients, 6 day patients and 1 outpatient).
The care planning for current BAG consumers is being progressed by West Moreton HHS

5. West Moreton Hh4S continues to be involved with CHQ HHS in the development of the new
statewide adolescent service model. However these new models may take up to 12 months
to be fully established.

RT

6. In recognition of this potential gap in services, West Moreton HHS has commenced planning
interim and transition service options for current BAG consumers and other eligible
adolescents across the state that would benefit from extended treatment and rehabilitation.

These interim options will be provided as neeaea until tne new services are available,
ensuring no gap to service delivery.
7. CHQ HHS has advised that the model of care under development is nearing completion, with

work being undertaken to finalise the details of all options. Detailed implementation
planning will then commence enhancing existing service provision, and establishing new
care options. Some service options will be available earlier than others, and implementation
will be ongoing as funding and resources are made available.
Background
8. The Clinical Care Transition Panels review individual care needs of current and waitlist BAG

consumers and support transition to alternative service options. The Panels are chaired by
Dr Anne Brennan, and consist of a core group of BAG Clinicians, a BAC school
representative and other key stakeholders and service providers as required.
