Short List of Options Sample Clauses

Short List of Options. The shortlist was largely shaped by; a formal need to score the “do nothing” option, despite this being seen as unacceptable by all participants, a desire to develop combined “care hubs” within existing population centres as an alternative to the traditional disparate models of health and social care delivery, and a need to formally address historically challenging questions over hospital sites, particularly in Wick.

Short List of Options. 7.6.1 From the above table and the reasoning outlined in section 7.5 above the short list of possible options is identified as: • Option 1 – do minimum • Option 4 – Grovepark Street • Option 5 – Xxxxxxx Street • Option 6 – New City Road

Short List of Options. Following a review of the criteria and analysis of suitable sites locally to potentially host a satellite radiotherapy facility Lanarkshire Health Board have put forward Monklands District General Hospital as the sole possible site to host this proposed facility within their health board. It was concluded that both Hairmyres Hospital and Wishaw General Hospital did not have a sufficiently large physical footprint to host the facility. Moreover Wishaw General was geographically not in the ideal position to host a West of Scotland facility and serve the catchment population. NHS Forth Valley has identified 4 potential sites at Forth Valley Royal Hospital. Similarly to Hairmyres Hospital and Wishaw General Hospital, Ayrshire & Arran Health Board does not have available the required footprint to host a facility at Crosshouse Hospital and although other sites in NHS Ayrshire & Arran do have the available footprint to accommodate a facility of the proposed size, travel time to the site and the access to clinical adjacencies, which were seen as an optimal requirement to support radiotherapy service provision were not available and which were not possible to overcome. The option appraisal process was undertaken in conjunction with representatives from various NHS Boards across Scotland and is described in detail within Appendix 1 of the IA. This was undertaken on 7th February 2012 and involved the identification of key criteria, and the subsequent scoring of these, across potential locations which had been previously identified through detailed analysis of a number of factors. These include clinical considerations, projected activity, capacity, and associated travel times. Whilst it is recognised the option appraisal may not have followed the Options Shortlist Framework detailed within SCIM, it is considered that the process undertaken was sufficiently robust to identify the appropriate shortlisted options. Hairmyres and Wishaw General hospitals “options” were not formally appraised as it became clear early on that the designated space requirement could not be achieved at those sites. The backlog maintenance issues at Monklands Hospital do not come into consideration as the option being considered is a new- build on a brown-field location and not part of the existing hospital buildings. Central to the review of its cancer strategy NHS Lanarkshire identified Monklands Hospital as central to its cancer service provision, which includes the potential provision of rad...
