Huddersfield health bosses need to make £8.5m of cuts — what will be affected?
CCG warns of 'wide-ranging' and 'potentially controversial' cuts as part of recovery plan
Health bosses have warned of millions of pounds worth of cuts to services in Huddersfield.
They said the ‘wide-ranging’ and ‘potentially controversial’ cuts to Huddersfield NHS services are part of a financial recovery plan and could hit many areas.
Greater Huddersfield Clinical Commissioning Group (CCG) must make £8.5m of savings if it is to break even at the end of 2016/17.
The CCG, which manages local NHS services, must end the financial year with a 1% surplus.
But now NHS England has ordered the CCG to draft a recovery plan after it was forecast that the organisation was not going to achieve the surplus.
And the CCG has said it is considering ‘wide-ranging and potentially controversial system efficiencies’ to achieve an end of year break-even.
The CCG is hoping to save money in the prevention and treatment of falls, respiratory infections, urinary tract infections, heart disease and skin disease together with flu and pneumonia.
