“the Trust will facilitate an Oxford Learning Event with the identified partner agencies. The purpose of this event is to identify and address the issues of communication ensuring clarity over the pathway for clients presenting with both mental health problems and substance misuse problems across the various care groups. We plan to hold this event during June 2015 subject to agreement with partner agencies.”

“The referral system has been significantly redesigned, as evidenced in the internal action plan at Appendix 1 (enclosed), points 5 and 6. The timescales for response to referrals deemed urgent is now 48 hours and any breaches are electronically flagged and investigated.”
