ICSs most ‘off target’ on recovery named by NHS England
Seven integrated care systems and one ambulance trust have been placed in ‘intensive support’ because of their performance against urgent and emergency care metrics.
NHS England launched the new intervention regime for emergency care earlier this year to measure progress against the urgent and emergency care recovery plan.
The most troubled systems and organisations are now placed in a first “tier” and will receive central support from NHSE. Other systems requiring support from NHSE regional teams are placed in a secondary tier. This tiered approach is already in place for cancer and elective performance.
Support will include help with analytical and delivery capacity, “buddying” with leading systems and “targeted executive leadership”.
