Voluntary sector partners
The Big Care Debate We know the needs of our population are growing faster than the money available: Essex County Council will have a gap of approximately £45m by 2016, NEE CCG a gap of £60-70m We asked over 1,000 local people about their priorities for the health service in the next 5 years
Cancer services crisis at Colchester Hospital: Real issues with patient care discovered, massive amount of work by Hospital colleagues, NHS England, ourselves and others to put these right quickly. Valuable lessons learned and enduring partnerships built. Finance through quality improvement: on target (£18.5m for 2014/15) to continue making required quality improvements and savings, but gets more difficult. Innovation is key: Rapid Assessment Service started; Urgent Care and Care Closer to Home plans to come.
