Members of the Committee sought assurances that as NHS Colleagues attempt to reduce demand on Urgent Care services while at the same time moving services into the Community that the patient pathways and the services provided are fully integrated and data is shared between stakeholders.

 

In response to a question in respect of inpatient bed numbers, the Improvement Advisor reported that work is underway in respect of the number and type of

beds across Greater Manchester.  The Improvement Advisor reported that there is a mixed picture of in-patient bed provision across Greater Manchester.
