Royal Preston Hospital Emergency Department Pic: Lancashire Teaching Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust The trust that runs the Royal Preston and Chorley and So
New constituency boundaries and candidates in Preston, Chorley and South Ribble for the 2024 general electionCorporation Street bus gate to start but motorists will receive ‘warning letter’The trust that runs the Royal Preston and Chorley and South Ribble hospitals has brought in what it describes as “specialist support” in order to achieve a £58m savings target.
However, its authors – chief executive Silas Nicholls and chair Peter White – warn, in the short term, of ”a number of additional controls around vacancies, agency and bank spending and tight restrictions on non-pay and discretionary pay items which will be challenging for our colleagues”. It comes against the backdrop of the budget pressures confronting the NHS as a whole across Lancashire and South Cumbria. Last month, the region’s Integrated Care Board revealed that the health system ended the 2023/24 financial year with a deficit of £148.6m – in spite of having saved £240.7m during that timeframe.
They wrote: “Whilst all trusts are affected by this situation, it’s particularly pertinent to Lancashire Teaching Hospitals, as the cost of delivering our services and delivering patient care has been greater than the income received for a number of years now, resulting in a significant gap in our finances.
The scheme, launched in November 2022, has enabled the closure of almost 60 costly hospital beds across the trust as it tries to move back towards capacity levels seen before the expansions that occurred at the height of the pandemic. The easing of the discharge bottleneck at the ‘back door’ of the hospitals is also designed to help maintain the flow of patients through the system from the ‘front door’ at A&E.
