A REPORT FROM THE DIRECTOR OF PLANNING AND CORPORATE AFFAIRS

  1. INTRODUCTION

1.1This is a discussion report on the Clinical Service Units Business Plans for 2011/12.

1.2Members of the Board will recall that the Broadmoor Clinical Service Unit Business Plan 2011/12 was approved at the March meeting. The Specialist and Forensic Service CSU and the London CSU requested additional time to complete their plans.

1.3During January and February 2011 the clinical service units held planning events with staff, commissioners and where appropriate service users to assist in the development of Business Plans for 2011/12. Following these events the Clinical Service Units have prepared their annual business plans and objectives for 2011/12. Each event enabled staff, service users and commissioners the opportunity to discuss the Foundation Trust application and pressures within the local health economy.

1.3As in previous years the directorates produced a number of objectives which have been organised in line with the Trust’s corporate objectives for 2011/12 which were agreed by the Board in January 2011.

  1. DEVELOPMENT OF SERVICE PLANS FOR CLINICAL SERVICE UNITS

2.1The service plans for the Specialist and Forensic Service and the London CSUs are attached in Appendix 1. Both service plans reflect the requirements for the new Foundation Trust and the significant amount of work that is taking place to prepare for changes in service delivery arising from new care pathways and clinical models. The St Bernard’s OBC remains a key priority for the Forensic service.

2.2Each Service plan objective will be reviewed on a quarterly basis at the CSU Performance meetings.
