STRUCTURE: Bradford Teaching Hospitals Foundation Trust has expressed concern that not enough savings are being made in the community services that it is due to take over.

The foundation trust is due to take on services from Bradford and Airedale Teaching PCT under the transforming community services programme.

FT directors reported in January that “the PCT had issues regarding their unmet CIP [cost improvement plan] that were being included in the TCS work”.

The papers from the meeting note: “The board agreed that this issue would need to be resolved in order for the transfer to be completed.”
