TRUST SAYS PLANS ARE IN PLACE TO ADDRESS THE ISSUES HIGHLIGHTED
SERVICES at Birmingham hospitals are under close scrutiny by national bosses to ensure they improve.
University Hospitals Birmingham (UHB) NHS Foundation Trust’s board of directors was told NHS England has placed it in Tier 1 for elective care, cancer and diagnostics for the first quarter of 2025/26 - the highest level of oversight and support.
The board was also alerted to issues around urgent and emergency care and endoscopy performance.
Bosses were told work is being carried out and plans put in place to address concerns, and some areas had already seen improvements.
A report said urgent and emergency care services have ‘steadily improved’ while recovering from winter pressures.
