Latest investigations

Staffordshire and Stoke-On-Trent ICS

The Staffordshire and Stoke-On-Trent Integrated Care System faces financial strain and operational challenges, notably at the University Hospitals of North Midlands Trust. PwC consultants were brought in due to a £141m forecasted deficit, caused by rising healthcare costs and staffing issues. Efforts include scrutinising spending, reducing reliance on agency staff, and streamlining recruitment. The system aims to save over £100m annually by reforming care packages. UHNM's performance is under scrutiny, with initiatives to tackle delays and improve patient flow. Strategies involve reducing agency spending, enhancing permanent staffing, and scrutinising care costs. Despite these challenges, the system is focused on financial recovery and operational enhancement.

Mid and South Essex ICS

Mid and South Essex ICS faces leadership instability, impacting strategy development. Anthony McKeever's retirement led to interim appointments, hindering effective management. Despite efforts to address health inequalities, organisational instability persists. Four local partnerships aim to enhance community health services. Primary care collaboration seeks to strengthen voice in system decisions. Financial strains worsen as MSE performs poorly in cancer and elective care. Heavy outsourcing faces scrutiny amid financial challenges. Technology upgrades, including shared care records, aim to streamline operations. High-profile mental health inquiry and hospital closure consultations add to system pressures.

Stockport, and Tameside and Glossop Integrated Care Foundation Trusts

The trusts aim to enhance corporate and clinical integration, focusing on consolidating teams and fostering collaboration. Plans to merge clinical services with East Cheshire shelved. Joint procurement for electronic patient records was delayed due to funding challenges. Urgent upgrades and capacity expansion funding bids were unsuccessful. Trusts to manage private capacity commissioning, seeking in-house solutions or NHS support. Financial challenges persist with deficits expected. Measures to curb spending include agency staff negotiations and efficiency drives.
