Working Group for Community Beds and Ambulatory Services Reconfiguration
In September, the NHS Mid and South Essex Integrated Care Board (MSEICB) announced a six-month delay in the final decision-making regarding the reconfiguration of community hospital beds, a midwife-led birthing unit and ambulatory care services.
The decision follows an extensive public consultation, where valuable feedback was gathered from patients, staff, and the wider community.
This additional time is allowing the NHS in mid and south Essex to develop comprehensive solutions that address the needs of local communities to enable staff to deliver the best possible care and make the best use of taxpayers’ money.
Full details of the three-month progress report can be found in the ICB board papers section of the MSEICB website, here https://www.midandsouthessex.ics.nhs.uk/publications/?publications_category=icb-board-papers&publications_type=all&date_from=.
