4 2. Background The Cross Party Group on Muscular Dystrophy undertook a review of the service provision in health and social care for neuromuscular service users in Scotland and commissioned the Mackie Report. Around the same time, the Scottish Muscle Network also commissioned a review on neuromuscular services in Scotland: Review of current health services for neuromuscular service users in Scotland (Craigforth Report, 2010) commissioned by the Scottish Muscle Network. Inquiry into access to specialist neuromuscular care and social care in Scotland (Mackie Report, 2010) commissioned by the Muscular Dystrophy Cross Party Group (CPG) - A commitment was made to the Cross-Party Group that the Mackie Report recommendation, to increase the capacity of Neuromuscular Care Advisors (NCAs) and embed them as regional NHS posts, would be implemented. Within Scotland, there were two NCAs, funded on a part-time basis by the Muscular Dystrophy Campaign (0.8 wte in West of Scotland and 0.5 wte to cover the South East and North of Scotland). The Scottish Government agreed to provide funding to support a 2 year project of enhanced NCA provision whereby each of the three regions within NHSScotland would have a single whole time equivalent NCA resource. Within the project an evaluation would be conducted to assess to what extent that level of resource and its remit could support neuromuscular patients and their families across Scotland in a range of key areas set out by SGHSC. Funding was made available from April March Key Vision / Aims and Objectives The vision / aim of the Neuromuscular service may be ; To support, enable and promote safe, efficient, effective, timely and person centred care for people / families / carers and the workforce in relation to Neuromuscular conditions for the North of Scotland. Objectives: 1. To establish a Neuromuscular Steering Group. 2. To be a named point of contact for specialised neuromuscular advice, information and support to patients/ families / carers and the workforce. 3. Scope current and agree and develop future neuromuscular pathways, standards and clinics from birth, paediatrics, transition, adult to end of life. 4. Create neuromuscular educational training to assess needs and delivery of training to the workforce needs. 5. Support paediatric and adult Neuromuscular clinics across the North of Scotland. 6. Develop and build on innovative models of neuromuscular service care e.g. telecommunication

5 7. Develop data recording systems to support audit. 8. Develop a business case to sustain a Neuromuscular Regional Project Manager Role SUCCESS CRITERIA Development and implementation of Logic Model evaluation framework Contribution to NSD evaluation framework 4. Criteria to Determine the Appropriateness of a regional Approach NoSPG Criteria Questions to determine the appropriateness of a Regional Approach Can this service be/continue to be provided within a Board area? Can local Boards support any changes necessary to support the service? To what extent will a regional approach sustain continued delivery in the North? Why is a regional approach geographically relevant? (i.e. access, costs, use?) Should this be a national service? Will any Board(s) in the NoS be differentially advantaged / disadvantaged by this service? Are there any other ways that needs/outcomes might be addressed other than a regional service? No Yes Full extent EAST/WEST in post No No Previous option paper (prior to post being filled) Critical Mass What critical mass (minimum number of patients to meet sustainability and quality/clinical requirements) is required to support this service? TBC Could this service be provided locally by means of a local networked approach? Is this service a specialised or categorised as a tertiary service? Is there capacity potential within the region, which will support delivery for the whole region? No Specialised Yes

6 Is there evidence that the service is clinically effective? Yes - TBC Patient Impact What is the expected health gain to either individual patients or the population? Increased / Quality of Life What will the health impact of not providing this service locally? Disadvantaged / decreased equality How will a regional approach contribute to The Quality Strategy outcomes? Person centred, effective, efficient, safe, equitable, timely How will a regional approach minimise risk? A/A Will the risks be increased or decreased by a regional approach? If increased, how could these be managed? Decreased Workforce Is the workforce available to deliver the solution to the issue? Is there a different and more effective way of using the clinical workforce? What would be the education and training needs? What clinical leadership is required? What disciplines need to be involved? Yes - partial Yes Yes needs assessment At all levels All Could roles be adopted by other locally based staff? Yes - Vision Are there accreditation issues?? Resources (Finance, equipment or facilities) What resources and investment are required to set up and sustain the service? How will a regional approach provide best value/cost effectiveness? Are there areas for disinvestment? What savings, substitutions and efficiencies will be put in place? KM note? What are the potential funding sources??

7 5. Project Scope (and any exclusions) The scope of this review is focussed on (particular services or Health Boards). This will include: Includes NoSPG Highland, Grampian, Tayside, Orkney, Shetland and the Western Isles Includes clients with a Neuromuscular condition See Appendix 3 Includes paediatrics and adults Excludes west and east Regional Planning Groups 6.
