Note the current status of consumers at the Barrett Adolescent Centre (BAG).

And

Provide this brief to the Minister for information.

Urgency

1. Urgent - The M inisters Office has requested an urgent update on the current status of

consumers at BAG.

Headline Issues

2. The top issues are:

. In August 2013 the Minister for Health announced that adolescents requiring extended

mental health treatment and rehabilitation will receive services through a new range of

contemporaryservice options from early 2014. Children's Health Queensland Hospital

and Health Service (CHQ HHS) is responsible for the governance of the new service

options to be implemented as part of its statewide role in providing healthcare for

Queensland's children.

The M inister for Health and West Moreton HHS B oard gave a public commitment to

ongoing provision of safe and comprehensive clinical care for BAG consum ers during

the transition to the new statewide adolescent extended treatment and rehabilitation

services.

A flexible closure date of the end of January 2014 for the BAG building has been

announced. This date may change dependent on all consumers having appropriate

transition plans in place and continuity ofservice delivery.

Blueprint

3. How does this align with the Blueprint for Better Healthcare in Queensland?

. Providing Queenslanders with value in health services - value for taxpayers' money.

. Better patient care in the community setting, utilising safe, sustainable and responsive

service models - delivering best patient care.

Key issues

4. There are currently 13 consumers at BAG (6 inpatients, 6 day patients and 1 outpatient).

5. West Moreton Hh4S continues to be involved with CHQ HHS in the development of the new

statewide adolescent service model. However these new models may take up to 12 months

to be fully established.

6. In recognition of this potential gap in services, West Moreton HHS has commenced planning

interim and transition service options for current BAG consumers and other eligible

adolescents across the state that would benefit from extended treatment and rehabilitation.

These interim options will be provided as neeaea until tne new services are available,

ensuring no gap to service delivery.

7. CHQ HHS has advised that the model of care under development is nearing completion, with

work being un dertaken to finalise the details of all options. Detailed implementation

planning will then commence enhancing existing service provision, and establishing new

care options. Some service options will be available earlier than others, and implementation

will be ongoing as funding and resources are made available.

Background

8. The Clinical Care T ransition Pa nels review individual care needs of cu rrent and waitlist BAG

consumers and support transition to alternative service options. The Panels are chaired by

Dr Anne Brennan, and consist of a core group of BAG Clinicians, a BAC school

representative and other key stakeholders and service providers as required.

Consultation

Rehabilitation, Office of Strategy, CHQ HHS.
