- Commissioners in Bath and Wiltshire have agreed a plan to spend cash withheld from their local acute trust following a rise in emergency activity on helping it move towards seven day working.
- Governing bodies of Wiltshire and Bath and North East Somerset clinical commissioning groups have both approved a bid from Royal United Hospital Bath Trust to spend [cash saved on the marginal tariff under which commissioners are only required to pay 30 per cent of the cost of emergency admissions above 2008-09 levels] in a number of initiatives. These include increasing consultant cover in the emergency department and setting up a “frailty unit”.
