Executive Summary
This is the integrated performance report for May 2013 and formally reports much of the data
that was covered verbally at the June 2013 Board.
As with previous reports, performance against key indicators is mixed with a number of areas of
positive performance for example VTE risk assessment. In some cases such as achievement
of the ED 4 hour target performance has improved markedly on April and continues to improve
in June 2013. This is also the case with cancelled operations where performance has
improved significantly in recent weeks.
Of concern is the deterioration of performance against the 6 week diagnostic target and this is
largely explained by failure in one area and a further verbal update will be given at Board
regarding action to resolve. Exception reports for Stroke, cancer 62 day and cancelled
operations are included at annex 2, 3 and 4.
Quality Impact Assessment
The safety and quality section of the report highlights positive performance against a range of
indicators and this will be explored further in the quarterly quality report to this Board.
Financial Impact Assessment
The financial position of the Trust is on plan at month 2 although significant actions are required
to ensure the achievement of the cost improvement programme.
The contract position at month 2 is significantly under achieving from a financial perspective as
a result of a lower case mix, lower activity in key areas and contract fines. Emergency activity is
already above plan. Whilst the financial impact is mitigated in 2013-14 due to the nature of the
contract signed the recurring impact if this continues is of significant concern and action is
required to understand the position in more detail.
Regulatory Impact Assessment
This paper addresses the performance of the Trust against its statutory financial and performance
duties and against Trust Development Authority and Monitor financial standards.
