(1) INFORMATION ABOUT THE POLICY/DECISION 1.1 Title of policy/decision Proposal to relocate 2 Thoracic Outpatients clinics from Belfast City Hospital (BCH) to the Royal Victoria Hospital (RVH) site. 1.2 Description of policy/decision what is it trying to achieve? (aims/objectives) how will this be achieved? (key elements) what are the key constraints? (e.g. financial, legislative) The proposal would bring together all outpatient Thoracic Services thereby providing a streamlined service for patients and bringing the clinical/medical Thoracic team together; patients would have multi- disciplinary expertise readily available to them on one site. The bulk of Thoracic Surgery Out patient s activity is carried out at the RVH by 3.5 WTE consultant Thoracic surgeons and consultant Cardiothoracic surgeons (head count 5 Surgeons). Consultant Outpatient Clinics And Location 1 Alternate weeks 1 RVH and 1 BCH 2 1 RVH weekly 3 1 RVH weekly 4 1 RVH weekly 5 1 RVH weekly 2
3 Under this proposal all of the consultants OP clinics at the RVH. (New Directions) The clinical/medical and managerial team believe that this re-location would make clinics more effective with one point of entry, one triage point, one patient record and one Patient Administration System (PAS) record. Additionally, Thoracic Services would benefit from being based at the RVH in terms of closer access to cardiac surgery services. 1.3 Main stakeholders affected (e.g. staff, actual or potential service users, other public sector organisations, voluntary and community groups, trade unions/professional organisations or private sector organisations) Outpatients and inpatients Thoracic Services staff 1.4 Other policies/decisions with a bearing on this policy/decision what are they? who owns them? Belfast Health and Social Care Trust- New Directions Integrated Elective Access protocol (BHSCT) Centralisation of specialisms will afford the patient easier and more efficient access to a specialist Cardiothoracic multi-disciplinary team.

All Trust services, wherever located are provided inclusively and sensitively according to the individual s need The Trust is cognisant of its duty to mitigate for those who experience a chill factor, in terms of location, while Northern Ireland is in a period of normalisation. The Trust ensures that all of its premises display its Good Relations statement and provides a welcoming atmosphere to all patients/users. Services are provided to patients/clients in a sensitive holistic way taking into consideration the individual s needs. Patients are booked under the partial booking system which does afford elements of patient choice for appointment times this is a corporate policy in place throughout the BHSCT.

12 2.6 What changes to the policy/decision if any or what additional measures would you suggest to ensure that it promotes good relations? Group Suggestions The Trust gives due consideration to Good Relations in the planning and delivery of services 2.7 Is there an opportunity to better address the health and social inequalities of groups/areas of greatest social, economic or educational need by altering the policy/decision or working with others in government or in the larger community? Group Suggestions No. 12
13 2.8 Have previous consultations with relevant groups, organisations or individuals indicated that particular policies create problems that are specific to them? Also, please detail information used to answer any of the questions above (e.g. statistics; research reports; views of colleagues, service users, or other stakeholders). 1. The Surgeon was consulted via face to face meetings and is content with the move to the RVH. This will increase productivity in terms of a reduction in travel time between sites which may result in an increase of patients seen. 2. OPD manager was consulted via face to face meetings with in terms of the increased number of thoracic clinics being held monthly however the impact is zero because there are sufficient staff in place to manage these clinics 3. There are no staff affected from admin and clerical point of view. 4. The Trade Unions are satisfied that there are no adverse effect on staff. 5. A small sample of new patients in thoracic BCH clinic were consulted with by letter and questionnaire. There were two comments relating to transport concerns with one specifically indicating that it was due to their caring responsibilities. The RVH department is fully accessible to those with a mobility disability, is accessible by major bus routes and there is an internal bus service between BCH and RVH. 2.9 Please detail what data you will collect in the future in order to monitor the effect of the policy/decision on any of the groups under Section 75? Details of what aids and adaptations are provided to disabled people Complaints/compliments Feedback from staff /users/user groups which will be reported to the Health and Social Inequalities Team annually for two years. 13
14 (3) SHOULD THE POLICY/DECISION BE SUBJECT TO EQUALITY IMPACT ASSESSMENT? Equality impact assessment procedures are confined to those policies/decisions considered likely to have significant/major implications for equality of opportunity. If your screening has indicated that a policy/decision is likely to have an adverse differential impact, how would you categorise it? Please tick. Significant/major impact Low impact Do you consider that this policy/decision needs to be subjected to a full equality impact assessment? Yes No Please give reasons for your decision. Centralisation of services provides easier and more efficient access for patients to a specialist cardiothoracic multi-disciplinary team. There are bypass facilities on the RVH site which are not available to the BCH site This move enables the consultant to see more patients (travel time reduced which would free up 1 hour equalling 3 new or 6 review patients monthly) Benefits to the junior medical rota in not covering two separate sites. 14
15 (4) DISABILITY DISCRIMINATION 4.1 Does the policy/decision in any way discourage disabled people from participating in public life or does it fail to promote positive attitudes towards disabled people? The Service is staffed by specialists in the care of the client group and as such provides support, aids and adaptations based on individual need. The department is fully accessible to those with a mobility disability, the reception has a loop system making it accessible to deaf and hard of hearing people, British and Irish Sign Language interpreters are provided if necessary. Other ethnic interpreters are available if required 4.2 Is there an opportunity to better promote positive attitudes towards disabled people or encourage their participation in public life by making changes to the policy/decision or introducing additional measures? There are no adverse impacts in this area. 4.3 Please detail what data you will collect in the future in order to monitor the effect of the policy/decision with reference to the disability duties? Details of what aids and adaptations are provided Complaints Feedback from staff /users/user groups which will be reported to the Health and Social Inequalities Team annually for two years. 15
