To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, what steps he is taking to ensure that the forthcoming long-term plan for the NHS tackles the backlog of appointments for elective surgery which occurs after each winter period.
To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, what steps he is taking to ensure that the forthcoming long-term plan for the NHS tackles the backlog of appointments for elective surgery which occurs after each winter period.
The National Health Service Long-Term Plan will set out how the NHS will develop over the coming years. This will be supported by an extra £20.5 billion a year in real terms by 2023/24. This provides an opportunity to look at how elective surgery and other services can be further improved over the next decade. The plan is currently in development and will be published later in the year.
To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, what the bed capacity is at Southport and Ormskirk NHS Trust; what estimate he has made of the proportion of beds which were unused at that trust during winter 2017-18; and what the reasons were for those beds being...

NHS England publishes weekly winter situational reports showing the number of beds available as well as the number and proportion of those that are occupied. This is published at both a national and a trust level. The current reporting period for which data is available is 20 November 2017 to 28 January 2018. Over this period, at Southport and Ormskirk NHS Trust, there was an average of 397 general and acute beds open per day. Of these, 376 (94.7%) were occupied.
Bed availability and occupancy is managed at a local level. Hospitals have a responsibility in ensuring that they are operating with the necessary beds available to support with patient flow and safety.
I am shocked that my local hospital, Southport and Ormskirk, has unused bed and theatre capacity despite the huge winter crisis and the pressures on the NHS locally. In that same trust last night, the Virgin-run walk-in centre had a computer glitch and told people, “Either go to A&E or come back tomorrow.” Has the Department made any assessment of the number of beds and theatre hours that could have been sourced to relieve winter pressures and save lives?

The hon. Lady highlights an important point about the variance in performance between trusts and how we look at some of the lessons from, for example, Lords Carter’s work on efficiency, rotas and how to maximise the value of funding. I am happy to consider her specific point, but she is right that how we manage the patient pathway, in particular the 43% of hospital beds occupied by 5% of patients, is a key challenge.
