The Board:
(i) Noted the overarching dashboard;
(ii) Noted the detail provided
on specific indicators, and remedial actions being taken to sustain
good performance;
(iii) Noted the areas where new data was available and the implications of this data; specifically, the immunisation uptake, under 18 conception rate, Chlamydia screening, smoking quitters, NHS Health Check, permanent admissions of older people to residential and nursing care homes, delayed transfers of care, A&E attendance and Care Quality Commission Inspections;
(iv) Requested that a named individual be listed against each performance indicator, in order to improve the clarity on ‘ownership’ for the delivery of a required improvement; and
(v) Welcomed the offer from the London Ambulance Service (LAS) to present to the Board the LAS Quality Improvement Plan, which was in response to the CQC assessment of the LAS as inadequate.
