NHS Ayrshire & Arran Chief Executive John Burns requested that the NHS Ayrshire

The attached paper which outlines progress and makes recommendations was

of cost benefit analysis and taking account of inequality.

REPORT

It is proposed that the NHS A&A TEC Programme Board supported by the Long
Term Conditions Manager and office continue its pan Ayrshire efforts and processes
for ongoing implementation, governance and monitoring. Over the next two months
as recommended by A&A NHS Board the Long Term Conditions Manager on behalf
of the TEC Programme Board and partnerships will prepare an outline draft TEC
Strategy, vision and plan, including cost benefit analysis from 2016-2018. This outline
will contain proposals for continuation of the current TEC programmes and
deployment.

RESOURCE IMPLICATIONS
5.1
5.1.1
Financial Implications
The TEC programme is currently resourced via, European, National and Local East,
North & South Health & Social Care Partnership Integrated Change Fund. All funding
of the TEC programme relies on a yearly bidding process through each of these
sources. The programme is currently funded until March 2016. It is intended that the
proposed TEC Strategy will outline the financial implications and requirement for
consideration.
5.2
5.2.1
Human Resource Implications
There are likely to be implications. However these will be considered within the
context of the proposed strategy.
5.3
5.3.1
Legal Implications
There are likely to be implications related to the technology itself and these are
currently outlined within the Service Level agreement with the provider and through
the governance arrangements of the Programme Board. Any future legal implications
will be considered within the context of the proposed strategy.
6.
CONSULTATION AND PARTNERSHIP WORKING
6.1
This paper has been produced on behalf of the TEC programme Board which
comprises me.
7.
EQUALITIES IMPLICATIONS
7.1
There is potential that the use and availability of TEC can create an inequality in
service. Actual evidence of this is not currently available but will be provided as part
of the overall evaluation in early 2016. NHS Ayrshire & Arran have requested that the
proposed TEC Strategy 2016-2018 take account of this.
8.
SUSTAINABILITY IMPLICATIONS
8.1
The Scottish Government funding of all future TEC 2016-2018 requires that there are
clear proposals for sustainability.
9.
CONCLUSIONS
9.1
Progress will continue as described with increase in numbers of patients, service
users and carers benefitting from the technology and programme. Pan Ayrshire
operational management, clinical risk and governance will continue through the LTC
Manager reporting to the South Ayrshire Health & Social Care Partnership The A&A
NHS Board and respective Integrated Joint Boards can expect to receive the first
draft of an outcomes based Pan Ayrshire TEC strategy in January 2016.
