One health service. Three essential parts.
Each has its own role — and clear boundaries.
1. MEDICAL &
CLINICAL CARE
Doctors, nurses, clinicians, therapists and other health professionals.
THE ROLE
Provide safe, effective clinical care and make clinical decisions.
THE PRIORITY
The patient. Always.
2. HEALTHCARE
ADMINISTRATION
Appointments, records, staffing, procurement, estates, IT, finance and operational support.
THE ROLE
Enable clinical care by providing efficient, timely and cost-effective support.
THE BOUNDARY
Administration does not make clinical decisions.
CHANGE WILL SPEND WHAT HAS BEEN GIVEN AWAY IN OVERSEAS AID ON OUR OWN PEOPLE.

Treatment Begins
MAXIMUM STANDARD
No one should wait more than two months from the decision to treat to the start of treatment.
PRACTICAL ACTION. CLEAR STEPS. REAL RESULTS.
1. IMMEDIATE ACTION
ON WAITING TIMES
We will act immediately to reduce waiting times and work towards our targets as a top priority.
2. INCREASE
CLINICAL CAPACITY
We will identify where capacity is short and direct resources there.
3. CLEAR EXISTING
BACKLOGS
We will separate the historic backlog from normal demand and tackle it deliberately.
4. USE UK TREATMENT
WHEN NEEDED
Patients should not wait longer on the Island when clinically appropriate treatment can be obtained elsewhere.
5. PUBLISH THE
RESULTS
We will publish waiting times, performance and spending every month so everyone can see how the system is doing.
6. ACCOUNTABILITY
WITH CONSEQUENCES
Standards will be enforced. Failure to deliver means consequences for those responsible.
