Alternatives Considered and Rejected |
|
|
11.4.1 |
In making the recommendations two other options were considered and rejected:
i. Continue with the existing services
This alternative was rejected because:
· It does not respond to feedback gathered during the past 3 years from people with dementia, their carers and professionals working with them · It does not allow us to update the current service specifications and · It does not meet with legal and commercial regulations
ii. End the existing services and invest in other new provision
This alternative was also rejected because:
· The current model begun in 2019 has not yet fully embedded, particularly due to the pandemic More change for existing users would be disruptive |
