Alison said that she had to wait 45 minutes. This is not acceptable.
Speakeasy has experienced some difficulty getting through the number and has fed back through the contract monitoring. There is also limited information on the referral form. Reports of 30 minutes wait. The duty email address has also gone.
Laura took notes.
LIG reps update – Marcia and Leon
more news needed in this area for this sort of meeting

LD plan review – looking at promises
Farnborough Launchpad – helping the LIG
Launchpad update
Launchpad is a model of day care provision, which was initially aimed at getting more able service users, from in-house day services, to being supported in the community by external provider services.
This process is part of the Hampshire’s Transformation agenda and in established Launchpad areas, new service users can be referred to Launchpad directly, or by the service user themselves using Direct Payments, instead of going via day services.
See Tania’s Launchpad guide circulated before the meeting.

The Care Division has been supporting people with learning disabilities in our local community since the year 2000 (Care Providers in Dorset, Southampton, Hampshire, Surrey and Kent). They have also taking a lead to innovate and use assistive technologies and are developing their own IT software solutions to ensure the quality of the service and the safety of clients and staff.
My Diary System Computer allows anyone supporting someone in real time. Service users can check systems, planning the week, records incidents, supports medication, allows to send notes to supervisor. There is also a video link. it is an interactive system which supports 350 people.
It is not fool proof but allows things to happen quickly. Staff and service users get trained. If the package for a service user is small, it can be added to own ipad or computer of they have one.
