A&E departments to get more funding
The Department of Health has announced funding of £55.98 million to ease pressure on emergency departments in time for next winter.
Being allocated to 70 NHS hospitals, the funding will come from the £100 million A&E capital funding outlined by Chancellor Philip Hammond in the Spring Budget.
The funding will be used by hospitals to meet the 95 per cent standard of admitting, transferring, or discharging patients within four hours by 2018, by ensuring patients are treated in the most appropriate setting.
Among the trusts being allocated £1 million are: North Cumbria University Hospitals NHS Trust; North Tees And Hartlepool NHS Foundation Trust; Lancashire Teaching Hospitals Trust; Northumbria Healthcare NHS Foundation Trust; Plymouth Hospitals NHS Trust; North Devon Healthcare NHS Trust; Poole Hospital NHS Foundation Trust; Royal Cornwall Hospitals NHS Trust; Buckinghamshire Healthcare NHS Trust; Colchester Hospital University NHS Foundation Trust; West Suffolk NHS Foundation Trust; Mid Essex Hospital Services NHS Trust; Shrewsbury And Telford Hospital NHS Trust; and Barking Havering and Redbridge NHS Trust.
