To receive a report of the Director of Adults’ Health and Care updating Cabinet on the key issues and activities related to system resilience.

[Councillor Reid declared a personal interest as the County Council’s representative on Hampshire Hospitals Foundation Trust]

Cabinet considered a report of the Director of Adults’ Health and Care regarding systems resilience and delayed transfers of care.

The report was introduced and the performance improvements were highlighted, in particular a 75 percent reduction in the delayed transfers of care. This was as a result of sustained effort to ensure systems flowed smoothly.

Cabinet members welcomed the performance improvements and recognised the need to continue to drive this forward. The benefit to the wider healthcare system was noted as the increase in capacity had enabled elective surgery programmes to be fully maintained. Further patient health benefits of having shorter stays in acute healthcare settings were also detailed.

The recommendations in the report were considered and agreed. The decision record is attached to these minutes.
