A report by the Chief Financial Officer updated the Committee on performance as at Quarter 3 (October - December) 2018/19.
The Committee was advised that Delayed Discharges are on the increase, despite ongoing work to reduce this. This had previously been a winter issue but is now an issue all year round.
Discussion took place on the key issues raised, namely Delayed Discharges, Complaints, Sickness Absences, Psychological Therapy Treatment Waiting Times, Smoking Cessation and Alcohol Brief Interventions.
During discussion the Chair requested a report to the next meeting on Delayed Discharges to allow more focus on requirements.
Sickness absence within NHS staff was noted to be consistently red. The Chair requested a report to the meeting in September 2019 as she was of the opinion time would be required to investigate this prior to reporting to Committee.
The Chair stated it would be helpful if the Committee could see further information on the performance reporting developments of Alcohol Brief Interventions and sought a report to the next meeting.
Thereafter the Committee agreed to:
- note the performance of local indicators for Quarter 3 (October - December 2018) as presented in the summary report at appendix 1 of the report;
- seek a report on Delayed Discharges for consideration at the meeting in July 2019;
- seek a report on Alcohol Brief Interventions for consideration at the meeting in July 2019; and
- seek a report on NHS staff sickness absence for consideration at the meeting in September 2019.
