Answer
You will be aware that on 9 June 2020 I published the Strategic Framework for Rebuilding Health and Social Care, along with Phase 1 (June 2020) rebuilding plans for each of the six Health and Social Care (HSC) Trusts.
The Strategic Framework will underpin the development of incremental service plans by Trusts. The key aim will be to incrementally increase HSC service capacity as quickly as possible across all programmes of care, within the prevailing COVID-19 conditions. Subsequent phases will see these service activity plans and targets updated in three monthly cycles, the first of which will cover the period July to September 2020.
Consideration will be given to opportunities to improve pathways across services at the earliest opportunity within this process.
