Performance Report Natalie Ackroyd joined the meeting to present the Performance Report to the Cluster Partnership. She explained that the report outlined a single approach to Cluster level monthly performance reporting (outlined in Appendix 2) as well as informing the Cluster of the ongoing performance challenges. These included: Accident & Emergency (A&E) Referral to Treatment (RTT) standards Cancer (62 days) It was noted that all of the above are a concern nationally and regionally. The suggested reporting format was supported by the group as it enabled comparisons to be easily made. However it was AGREED this should be further populated to include local priorities that fall outside of the Single Accountability and Assurance Process (SAAP). Mike reported that the Strategic Health Authority (SHA) had asked Mid Yorkshire Hospitals NHS Trust (MYHT) to develop a recovery plan in terms of improving A&E performance. It was highlighted that areas of good practice should be shared across the Cluster in terms of improving performance. Following discussion it was AGREED that MYHT key performance issues should form the basis of a hot topic discussion in the future. The Cluster Partnership AGREED: the proposed approach regarding the development of the Cluster performance reporting subject to additional; reporting on the local priorities that fall outside of the SAAP; to note the concerns on performance on 18 weeks (RTT), A&E and Cancer 62 days waits; to hold a future hot topic discussion on the key performance issues at MYHT.
