  3. Last winter better than previous winter • This summer worse than last summer • Number of contributing factors preventing sustainable performance, for example: • Hospital based capacity planning and management • Discharge and internal transfer processes and Management • Delayed discharges

  6. What we are doing to improve unscheduled care • We have allocated £8.2 million LUCAP funding • We have established a delayed discharge task force, in partnership with COSLA, and agreed four immediate pieces of work, around: • Assessment and funding • Using technology and assets • Supporting choice and improving quality of the care sector • Workforce development and culture • We have targeted £5 million investment to those facing the most significant pressures

  7. Boards must … • Work collaboratively with local authority colleagues • Improve capacity management on site by site basis • Discharge a minimum of 40% of total daily emergency discharge numbers before noon • Increase weekend emergency discharge rates to levels much closer to your weekday rates • Commitment given in LUCAPs to get to 95% in September & prepare for winter

Imagine a Land…….. • Where waiting times are guaranteed • Where 90% are treated start to finish within 18 weeks • Where 98% are given an operation within 12 weeks • Where over 90% are seen within 4 hours at A&E • Where reports are publicly available • Where reduction in HAI and the key performance measures are all positive • Fortunately this land already exists – Scotland • REF: National Report into Health Service Performance: Canada 2014
