PERFORMANCE: According to the latest quality monitoring report from Southampton CCG, University Hospital Southampton NHS Foundation Trust reported an “above average number of black alerts” in March and April 2013.
These include two patients waiting 12 hours on a trolley since March. The CCG’s associate director for planned and unscheduled care was due to attend the trust daily during April, to “identify key themes and issues for resolution.”
April 2013
An £84m urgent and emergency care transformation in Middlesbrough, system wide cancer reconfiguration in South Yorkshire, and a large elective care centre in Norfolk were among projects which missed out on recent government funding.
The Department of Health and Social Care has confirmed the trusts and partnerships which will receive capital funding worth around £900m for building developments.
A list of NHS trusts which may need to outsource operations to reduce their waiting lists has been drawn up by regulators and given to private providers, HSJ has learned.
