    • It is inherently inefficient with the dispersal of service users and increased travel time for care staff. • There are also qualitative issues around lack of investment in and development of care staff, local knowledge of services available etc. • Any future strategy will need to address the overhead and profit element of expenditure as opposed to the wage element (which will be affected by the Living Wage commitment and also the payment for travel time), although there will be some opportunities for productivity improvement. • Productivity improvements can be addressed through a more geographical organisation of care staff/ providers and through the implementation of some form of call monitoring software i.e. CM2000 electronic monitoring or migration to alternative services such as PAs.…

    At first contact with a health care professional, the pregnant mother should be given information about the purpose and possible implications of the anomaly scan allowing them to make an informed choice as to whether or not to have the scan.

If anomalies were to be found on the fetus, the patient is allowed a reproductive choice (choice of termination), the parents can prepare themselves and gain knowledge on the abnormality and allows the option of intrauterine therapy (Cameron, 2011: 36-38). The second trimester scan is best suited for every pregnant female at 5 months, including the patient used for this case study of 19weeks and 4days, as early detection of fetal abnormalities is vital for both parties.…
