Report of the Chief Executive of University Hospital Southampton NHS Foundation Trust updating the Panel on the performance of the Emergency Department, attached.

The Panel considered the report of the Chief Executive of University Hospital Southampton NHS Foundation Trust updating the Panel on the performance of the Emergency Department.

The Panel welcomed the progress and improvement made in managing urgent and emergency patients.  It was acknowledged that the good performance had not been sustained through August and that this was due to the high attendance and increased number of accidents. It was also acknowledged that data on this area formed part of a bigger picture but the Panel queried as to when this performance might be achieved over a sustained period.

RESOLVED that UHS Emergency Department performance continue to be considered by the Panel at future meetings.
