Latest Investigations

Norfolk and Waveney ICS & Suffolk and North East Essex ICS

A new ICB will launch in April 2026, with its executive team already in place six months ahead of go-live. The organisation is targeting £46m in running cost reductions while drawing up plans to improve health outcomes. A key focus will be on developing out-of-hospital care, with early priorities identified for neighbourhood and urgent care services. Suffolk is seen as a national leader on the “left shift” agenda, while local work in Norfolk has lagged behind, and digital system delays have slowed improvements.

Shropshire, Telford and Wrekin ICS & Staffordshire and Stoke-On-Trent ICS

Most of the cluster’s executive board has been appointed, with the board retaining chief nursing and medical roles while reviewing its office base. Strategic commissioning will be a shared responsibility rather than led by a single dedicated director. The cluster hopes to build on place-based population health work in Shropshire, Telford and Wrekin, and may, in the future, commission through integrated providers, particularly in Shropshire. Plans remain at an early stage, although Shropshire is part of a national programme and is spreading learning to Telford. A grouped acute and community trust in STW, along with a high-performing mental health and community provider in Staffordshire, could play leading roles in developing neighbourhood health. However, deep problems with overspending and core acute performance in both systems will remain a major challenge for the integrated board systems.

East Lancashire Hospitals NHS Trust

The large acute trust has mixed performance and is part of a national recovery programme due to severe financial challenges. Staff morale and high sickness levels are significantly affecting productivity. The trust sees technology as key to reducing demand and is also applying for university status.

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.
