A wnaiff y Gweinidog esbonio pam nad oedd 10 y cant o gleifion ym Mwrdd Iechyd Prifysgol Betsi Cadwaladr wedi cael cynllun gofal a thriniaeth dilys, a nodi pa darged sydd wedi'i osod ar gyfer cynlluniau gofal dilys o hyn ymlaen?
The target set out in the NHS Delivery Plan for performance under the Mental Health (Wales) Measure 2010 (the “Measure”) is that 90% of “Relevant Patients” are in receipt of a valid Care and Treatment Plan (CTP). The reason that the target is not set at 100% is to allow for the time period to appoint a Care Co-ordinator and to develop and write a CTP. A 100% target would require a CTP to be immediately in place as soon as a decision is made that the person is accepted into secondary mental health services and is a “Relevant Patient”. This would, in most cases, be impracticable and counter the guidance set out in the Code of Practice for Parts 2 and 3 of the Measure in relation to the preparation of person-centred CTPs in consultation with others.
Whilst there are no statutory timescales, the Code of Practice recommends (in all but exceptional circumstances) the appointment of a Care Co-ordinator within 14 days of acceptance of the person into services and for a CTP to be completed within 6 weeks of the appointment of the Care Co-ordinator.
A valid Care and Treatment plan for the purposes of the NHS Delivery Framework target of 90% includes a CTP that has been reviewed. The Part 2 regulations require that a review must be held, as a minimum, at least once in any 12-month period. However, reviews should be needs-led and should be held as frequently as required.
