Latest HSJi Review talks about the decline in emergency care

Read Jack Serle's latest HSJi Review, which reports on how the emergency care performance in England had been on the decline for several years before covid hit.

It is now approaching the point where observers of the NHS are almost becoming blind to the thundering inadequacy in this area of care, creating the danger of normalising what is a very grim situation. Read full article here.

Salisbury Foundation Trust

Despite submitting a breakeven financial plan at the start of the 2023-24 financial year, Salisbury Foundation Trust reached March predicting a deficit in the region of £10m. Agency spend against total staff pay costs at SFT is averaging 5.9 per cent, significantly higher than the national target of 3.7 per cent. The trust is struggling to reduce number of long elective waits. In order to reduce waiting lists in skin cancer and plastics pathways, the trust has begun insourcing work with external supplier 18 Week Support.

Derby and Derbyshire ICS

The most influential body within the ICS – along with the integrated care board – is the county’s provider collaborative which represents all the system’s NHS trusts. The collaborative is actively driving service reconfiguration. The system has been placed into “segment three” of NHSE’s four-level oversight framework. The performance of University Hospitals of Derby and Burton Foundation Trust is the system’s biggest problem. It is in “tier one” of NHSE’s performance management regime for acute providers, which is reserved for those with the worst record on electives and cancer care.

Bedfordshire Hospitals Foundation Trust

Bedfordshire Hospitals Foundation Trust’s overall emergency care performance is slightly higher than the national average. However, this disguises the fact that the Luton accident and emergency department is a strong performer and Bedford a poor one. It needs to expand its same-day emergency care capacity and also faces scrutiny over its cancer performance. The trust has historically managed its finances well but is forecasting a £6.8m deficit against an original breakeven plan for 2023–24. The shortfall is driven by the cost of maintaining staffing levels during industrial action by doctors.

What our clients say

I use HSJ Intelligence every day to inform the strategic advice that I give to our managers, directors and the board. It has enabled us to connect the dots and grasp opportunities in places that we would have missed before.

Jonathan Wedgbury, CEO, Genmed

The benefit of HSJi is all about bringing the data into one place. There are so many trusts and so many providers, and really understanding how the landscape is changing is so important for suppliers to understand their market. They can do so easily in one place with HSJ Intelligence.

Jo Siddles, Project Manager, Prime plc

I use HSJi to ensure I am up to date with current news about our prospect trusts and their senior personnel. The watchlist facility is useful in that it keeps me appraised of my current engagements and any news about them. This keeps me informed as to current issues and ensures that I am on message when engaging with senior execs with a trust.
