## Description
NHS Devon ICB is intending to commission a specialist assessor service. Torbay and South Devon NHS Foundation Trust and Cornwall and Isles of Scilly ICB will also be able to use any subsequent contract. The service will require registered professional(s), with experience and detailed understanding of the CHC national  framework, working on behalf of the Commissioners, with individuals, with long term complex care needs.  The cohort is learning disability and mental health. 
This service we are intending to commission is for a small number of placements that are placed out of county or very complex, and need a face to face assessment. This will be an independent assessment  service, that  will need to be face to face, assessing/reviewing the individuals, with complex care needs, their care and care plans and undertake CHC DST assessments.  Considerations may need to be given to Best Interest decisions.  The service will work alongside families and multi-agency organisations and providers of care.
