Decision details

Local CCGs, NHS England, Barts Health and other local providers have established a clinical transformation programme called Transforming Health, Changing Lives in east London, which will bring together the existing Clinical Commissioning Group Integrated Care Programmes with a new ‘sister “Improving Hospital Care” work-stream.  This work will establish the appropriate foundations for a longer term joint transformation programme to bring forward whole system, health economy-wide improvements in the clinical and financial viability of local services in East London.

The Board will be briefed on this programme and have the chance to comment on the case for change and the local implications of any proposed re-configuration of services before the programme moves to its next stage.

The Board:

(i)  Noted the report and expressed concern that the lessons from earlier consultation on such changes do not appear to have been learned; and,

(ii)  Requested that in future the Board is part of the consultation earlier in the process as this would enable the Board, and its wider partner organisations, to influence the business case in regards to any service or provision changes.
