The government has announced that five NHS trusts in England are to be placed into a new intensive recovery programme aimed at addressing persistent performance, financial and operational challenges.
“I’ve announced today a new intensive recovery programme. This will target the worst performing providers, sending in our best leaders or delivering the structural changes necessary to get them back on track. No more turning a blind eye to failure,” said Health and Social Care Secretary Wes Streeting.
The initiative, led by Streeting, targets organisations identified as having “deep-rooted challenges”, including long patient waiting times, high leadership turnover and ongoing financial pressures.
The first cohort of trusts entering the programme comprises North Cumbria Integrated Care NHS Foundation Trust, Mid and South Essex NHS Foundation Trust, Hull University Teaching Hospitals NHS Trust, Northern Lincolnshire and Goole NHS Foundation Trust, and East Kent Hospitals NHS Trust.
