Performance of the NHS in Shropshire, Telford and Wrekin

The Committee has been provided with a report on the performance of the NHS locally. The report covers the period from July to September 2024. The report focuses on four key areas for improvement that have been previously identified by the Integrated Care System1: elective care (treatment which is planned in advance), cancer, mental health, and patient flow (patients moving through different parts of the health and social care system).

The report describes the performance of the system against a number of key metrics, such as ambulance response times and A&E waiting times. The report shows that:

Overall performance against the 4-hour A&E waiting time target at The Shrewsbury and Telford Hospital NHS Trust (SaTH) has shown some improvement when looking at the trend over the last three months, but remains below the England average.

  1. Integrated Care Systems (ICSs) are partnerships of organisations that come together to plan and deliver joined up health and care services, while remaining independent of one another. They were introduced in the Health and Care Act 2022. ↩
