protected. An inspection by the CQC was anticipated and the organisation was

confident and prepared for this test.

 

A member asked if the expected deadline for the transfer of NMGH to MFT set for

April 2020 would be achieved.

 

It was reported that the April deadline was the ambition however, the NHS I still has

two complex transactions to resolve and this may potentially jeopardise the deadline.

NMGH and asked if this was included in the thinking in the progress being made

around Theme 3.

 

It was reported that Theme 3 was included within the process and discussions within

the Transaction Overview Group. Also the decisions on Theme 3 will be carried at a

GM Commissioner level and would include planning of scenarios relating to the

future of the NMGH site.

 

The Chair commented that the merger of hospitals can present problems however,

the work being done at NMGH was working and producing the health benefits

expected. Officers were congratulated on the progress being made. Officers were

also asked to include information about changes in senior management and board

level in the MHCC and MLCO report to a future meeting of the Health and Wellbeing

Board.

 

Councillor Craig suggested that the next joint MLCO/MHCC report submitted to the

Board will demonstrate the connection and ambition of the two organisations.

Officers were asked if recommendation 5 of the report could be reconsidered and looked at in a broader context than just employee assistance programmes to provide a wider and more generalised access to mental health services and enhancement of services

already commissioned.

 

It was reported that programmes currently exist across Manchester in conjunction with other GM Colleagues, this will include the commissioning of a specialist employment service in partnership with the GMCA and the GM Health and Care Partnership.
