Public Consultation Key Emerging Themes – Board Approval In response to key emerging themes raised by the Public: Transport – building on existing work, develop a detailed transport plan for each community hospital site. A transport Pilot with Leicestershire County Council for Hinckley & Loughborough to start in Jan for 6-9months. Minor Injuries / Minor Illness Services – development of a clear commissioning and provider framework in each locality – Work to start in Jan with findings to the NHS LCR Board in June Out of Hours Services – Primary Care Foundation to undertake a stocktake of Out of Hours Services and form recommendations – Work completed to be presented to the NHS LCR Board by Spring 2009

Key Emerging Themes – Board Approval Hospital sales and reinvestment – Based on current Department of Health Guidance, NHS LCR will retain the proceeds of any sale of community hospitals within specific delegated limits to support development of local health services (not relevant to Rutland); Affordability of Capital Schemes – significant proportion of our plans can be delivered with minimal capital investment through redesigning care pathways, improving efficiency and functionality of buildings. If capital investment is required, NHS Capital and Non-NHS Capital will be explored depending on the level of investment required; Working jointly with Adult Social Care – we will be developing joint of models of care, particularly health and social care

Key Emerging Themes – Board Approval Equity of service proposals – NHS LCR is not supporting any further decentralisation of specialist services where evidence supports larger services achieving better health outcomes in large hospital. This is due to issues pertaining to clinical safety, levels of need and clinical staff skill retention; Communication & engagement – There will a communication and engagement plan for each area to support delivery of the next stage of work
