Guest Speaker:

Alastair Roeves was welcomed to the meeting. He outlined the draft ABMU Clinical Services Plan which involved reconfiguring some significant clinical services. Eight options had been developed based on the distribution of medical patients, planned surgery, emergency surgery and frailty services across the three main hospital sites. An urgent decision was required so that more detailed planning could start and Alastair asked the Exec team to rate each option and complete the score card to enable the LMC view to be shared with the Clinical Senate Council.
Alastair also asked for LMC support to encourage clusters to submit details of schemes to be funded from the second wave of Winter pressures monies.
Following a discussion about waiting list initiatives Alastair suggested that the validation of waiting lists could be considered as a cluster based project.
