2.    Congratulations were passed onto the North Middlesex on how well they did during the Winter crisis. A question was asked regarding the amount of deficit the Royal Free have?

 

It was advised that the deficit at the start was 29 Million and is projected to be 18 Million (end of the year), it was also highlighted that integration within the organisations (NMUH & RFL) could improve current deficits. 

 

 

3.    A question was asked for better clarification on the managerial structure with a Royal Free London (RLF) integration.

 

Similar management structure as Barnet Royal Free. Royal free to be strategic decision makers.

 

4.    Dr Mo Abedi (Vice-Chair) also made a comment regarding the improved stability the association have brought.

 

5.    Bindi Nagra (Director of Adult Social Care) commented that the Board needed to look at all options not just one, Bindi also advised that Maria Kane’s (North Middlesex University Hospital NHS Trust) approach regarding quality improvement has been excellent. It was also highlighted by Bindi that there was a lack of evidence regarding the benefits the Royal Free would bring to guide decision making.

 

Other questions received:

 

6.    Why can’t you go it alone, without any integration with RFL?

 

Some services are small and fragile, A&E department demonstrated this with issues around retainment and recruitment in the sector this year.

Inner London waiting is more appealing to potential/current staff and the culture within organisation needs improving.
