We need to transform the way that we deliver services, particularly given our local challenged health economy. Our objectives for 2015/16 are: Primary care and integrated services: We want primary care transformation to move up the agenda as our number one focus given its impact on everything else. We also want to build on what we have started in creating fully integrated care services closer to patients. Urgent care: Transforming the urgent care pathway and developing a system wide urgent care strategy is also critical - so we want to shift the emphasis from A&E to a wider whole-system change. Quality: We know we must continue to focus on quality improvements and outcomes across all our providers - we feel that the objective should be widened to make it very clear that this is not just about our acute trusts. Mental health: Nationally mental health has been highlighted as an important area where services need to improve and be put on a par with other health services - through 'parity of esteem'. Previously we had wrapped up mental health services and community services into one objective, but we believe that this year it is an area that deserves a separate objective given there is much to do. Planned care: this is a new objective. Given issues such as referral to treatment (RTT) delays and cancer waits we need to ensure that planned care services are appropriate, timely and deliver a high quality of care and experience. Developing our organisation: we now have a detailed work programme for the OD plan and need to ensure that we implement it so that we are fit for purpose and able to deliver on all of the above.
