Financial special measures
They have announced a two-year NHS planning and contracting round for 2017-19, to be completed by December 2016, and linked to the sustainability and transformation plans which are currently being refined with the help of national leaders, including Stevens and Jim Mackey.
A new intervention regime of special measures has been introduced which can be applied to trusts and CCGs who are failing to meet their financial commitments.
The first five providers to enter financial special measures are Barts Health NHS Trust, Croydon Health Services NHS Trust, Maidstone and Tunbridge Wells NHS Trust, Norfolk and Norwich University Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust, and North Bristol NHS Trust.
Glenn Douglas, chief executive of Maidstone and Tunbridge Wells trust, said: “We have a long and strong track record of making financial efficiencies and improving patient care. I am confident we can use this opportunity positively to renew and strengthen our focus on more closely providing our high quality services within our financial means.”
