Business Plan for modern children's disability servicesIntroductionThe RCPCH Standing Committee on Disability (SCOD) realises that within the structure of the National Service Framework (NSF), paediatric services are split "vertically" by perceived specific clinical boundaries like acute services, community-based services, disability services and child and adolescent mental health services (CAMHS), which clinically cut across the common needs of, for example, disabled children with high rates of epilepsy and psychiatric illness. SCOD also perceives a "horizontal" split which administratively separates the aspirations for services within the NSF Disability External Working Group (Disability EWG) remit from issues of professional structure and training and resources. The business plan proposed cannot be confined by such a structure since recommendations out of full context may not get translated into action. |
