Challenges

Competing priorities for available finances

Today’s pressures Vs tomorrow’s aspirations

Hospital care never stops and has a cast of thousands Closed for Transformation

People and Change

Risk of Digital exclusion in Somerset

Assuring patients’ that their data as well as their health is safe in our hands
