To seek approval for capital funding to support the development of a new Short-term Assessment Unit for up to 8 residents with complex needs including Learning Disabilities and or Autism. The unit will be able to facilitate young people as they lead up to and make the transition from children to adults’ service provision, by providing a consistent standard for the skills, knowledge and competencies required in transition. This will also enable us to ensure that we meet the Transforming care programme intended outcomes which is all about improving health and care services so that more people can live in the community, with the right support, and close to home whilst reducing the number of hospital admissions. The scheme will be built to a high specification and incorporate a Technology Enabled Care System, be fully accessible and comply with the National Autistic Society standards throughout
