Message from the Chief Executive
Message from the Chief Executive The NHS will be
60 years old this year, and the Birthday
celebrations couldnt have arrived at a more
exciting and challenging time for the NHS.
During the past year, waiting times have
continued to fall, and by December this year, 90
of patients referred by their GP will been seen,
diagnosed and treated within 18 weeks. This means
that waiting times for outpatient appointments,
diagnostic tests and operations will be measured
in weeks rather than months. Last year we also
saw further improvements in service efficiencies
and this coupled with funding that continues to
grow above inflation, has ensured that the NHS is
in much better financial shape to both keep pace
with the ever increasing demand and invest in
more health prevention programmes. However, we
know we can do better and this year the SHA sets
out another ambitious business plan that places
even greater emphasis on improving the quality
and safety of services. Primary Care Trusts
(PCTs), the commissioners of services, are
increasingly at the forefront of these
improvements, working with local Trusts and other
service providers to improve the patient
experience, further reduce the risk of hospital
acquired infections, and commissioning services
of a higher standard. PCTs are also working with
Local Authorities, Trusts and the voluntary
sector to deliver care closer to home, helping to
reduce the number of unnecessary trips to
hospital. PCTs are also working with these same
partners, to reduce the causes of poor health,
including reductions in smoking and supporting
initiatives to encourages all of us to exercise
and eat healthily. Over the past 6 months, as
part of the NHS Next Stage Review, the SHA has
been engaged with local clinicians and members of
the public to better understand how services must
change to meet the expectation of patients and
deliver modern, high quality care. The results of
this listening exercise will be published in May
and form the basis of a service vision for NHS
south central. This annual plan will be updated
during the year to reflect the additional
programmes of work that will flow from this
exercise. Local PCTs have also been developing
priorities for local service improvement, and our
Vision will also reflect these. This year the NHS
published fewer national targets, giving PCTs
greater opportunity to work more closely with the
communities they serve to establish their own
targets for service improvement. A clear signal
that the NHS is expects its PCTs and provider
organisations to be much more influenced by local
people.

Message from the Chief Executive cont.
An important function of the SHA is to ensure
that PCTs account for the delivery of their
service improvement plans, but increasingly our
agenda is to support their plans through the
development of coherent workforce strategies, the
implementation of Information Technology
programmes, and develop PCTs into world class
commissioners that are better able to reflect the
needs of local people in their plans. This
Annual Plan reflects our ten key areas of
responsibility and has been designed with the
intention of Increasing transparency and our
accountability to the South Central SHA Board,
between SHA management and staff, and to NHS
South Central organisations and the public of the
NHS South Central region. Ensuring our activities
in this coming year are focussed and support the
achievement of the Authoritys medium term
goals. Ensuring we address key national targets
as set out in the Department of Health operating
framework 2008/09. As a small organisation, this
level of planning is crucial for ensuring our
organisation works in a joined up fashion to
deliver in our roles as regional Headquarters of
the NHS, providing strategic leadership as
regulator of commissioning, system developer,
performance enhancer and champion of the patient,
public and taxpayer in NHS South Central, and we
encourage and expect organisations accountable to
us to show a similar degree of clarity in setting
out how they will meet the aspirations for better
health of the communities they serve. Chief

NHS South Central Strategic Health Authority
South Central SHA has set itself five challenging
Aspirations to achieve for the NHS South Central
region by 2012 that will support the achievement
of the NHS national goals.
The NHS South Central region is comprised of nine
Primary Care Trusts, and ten Acute NHS Trusts,
three Mental Health Trusts, a learning
disabilities Trust and an Ambulance Trust, of
which five trusts have achieved Foundation Trust
status (at the time of writing).

• South Central Strategic Health Authority was
  formed in July 2006 from a merger of two
  predecessor organisations as part of the
  reorganisation that followed the Commissioning a
  Patient led NHS paper.
• The Authority has set out its Five Year
  Aspirations for 2012
• Improve the health status for the local
  population as a whole, with an average life
  expectancy lengthened by an extra year
• Working with partners in local government,
  deliver a significant and greater improvement for
  the most disadvantaged members of our community
  so reducing inequalities, cutting by at least 10
  the gap between the fifth of the areas in South
  Central with the worst health and deprivation
  indicators, and the population of South Central
  as a whole
• Enhance quality and safety of patient services,
  with more providers rated good and excellent
  for both clinical quality and financial health
  when independently assessed by the healthcare
  commission
• Increase the approval of the local population for
  the performance of the NHS so we achieve an 80
  good or excellent rating for patient experience
  and public satisfaction of 75
• Achieve sustained financial stability for all
  local health organisations so that they can focus
  on improving health services, and revenue can be
  better invested in better research, education,
  public health and clinical service provision

• One Year Objectives for 2008/09

  across South Central.
• The underpinning programmes of work and projects
  for each objective are set out on pages 12

  of objectives will be dependent on
  cross-portfolio working, through a system of
  colour coding.
• How the plan covers the priority requirements of
  the DH Operating framework is set out on pages
  66-71

• The 2007 Five Year Aspirations for 2012
• Improve the health status for the local
  population as a whole, with an average life
  expectancy lengthened by an extra year.
• Working with partners in local government,
  deliver a significant and greater improvement for
  the most disadvantaged members of our community
  so reducing inequalities, cutting by at least 10
  the gap between the fifth of the areas in South
  Central with the worst health and deprivation
  indicators, and the population of South Central
  as a whole.
• Enhance quality and safety of patient services,
  with more providers rated good and excellent
  for both clinical quality and financial health
  when independently assessed by the healthcare
  commission.

  local health organisations so that they can focus
  on improving health services, and revenue can be
  better invested in better research, education,
  public health and clinical service provision.

• The 2007 Three Year Goals for 2010
• Reduce premature deaths caused by the major
  diseases, such as cancer and heart disease which
  are disproportionately linked to deprivation, and
  encourage the population to take responsibility
  for health and well being.
• Improve the effectiveness of commissioning, both
  in terms of getting better value for taxpayers
  and in focussing resources on addressing health
  needs.
• Facilitate the transformation of local health
  services, through the implementation of the NHS
  reforms, so that we provide more responsive,
  accessible and cost effective services to
  patients.
• Ensure effective clinical governance and the
  necessary flow of information on clinical
  performance for improving clinical standards and
  patient safety.
• Support the development of health staff so we
  attract and retain outstanding clinicians,
  managers and health workers.
• Develop and implement more successful methods to
  engage the public.
• Work with stakeholders and partners to ensure
  that our health and emergency services are
  resilient, well coordinated and integrated where
  better to meet patient needs.
• Ensure all organisations that provide services
  commissioned from the NHS achieve satisfactory
  financial performance and ensure the fiscal
  health and commercial capabilities of NHS South
  Central are improved.
