Target: Residents or Political representatives involved with Redbridge
Region: United Kingdom
Background (Preamble):
THE North East London NHS Foundation Trust (NELFT) have chosen to cut the 'Redbridge Art Psychotherapy Services' with no consultation from Service Users, Foundation Trust Members, or wider stakeholders. This runs contrary to their promises to involve service users in the commissioning and organisation of services.
The Outer North East London PCT (ONEL) commissions the North East London NHS Foundation Trust to provide mental health services for the LB of Redbridge populus.
In order that ONEL can apparently balance their finances they requested NELFT to submit to submit "efficiences" of 1.5% on top of pre-exisiting committments in service reductions / savings.
Without ANY consultation with Service Users, Foundation Trust members, Staff or Elected Representatives - NELFT submitted Art Psychotherapy Services for decommissioning. The lack of consultation runs contrary to NELFTs own trust policies and the coalition governments of "no health without mental health".
