The Board welcomed Lee Bloomfield from North West Boroughs Healthcare NHS Foundation Trust (FT), who provided an update in respect to North West Borough’s Healthcare NHS FT’s response to Covid-19 and the subsequent restoration and recovery of clinical services for the local population of Halton.

The report gave an overview of the current Trust and local Borough service delivery, patient activity including referral rates, activity levels, waiting list sizes and how and where care was being delivered.  It also detailed the process the Trust had undertaken to restore services in the short term and detailed the process for the medium and long term.
