| Answer To Question 2: The financial plan for the organisation is drawn up following consultation between managers, clinicians and corporate staff from across the Trust. | |
| Question Number 3: Waiting List鈥檚: Which area of waiting list鈥檚 are your trust priority? | |
| Answer To Question 3: The 2024/25 priorities and operational planning guidance from NHS England provided to all trusts set an expectation that Trusts focus on improving performance against the core cancer and diagnostic standards and reduce elective long waits. At the point of any additional funding being awarded the Trust would review waiting lists and prioritise areas with the longest waits. Our access policy states that we treat patients in the order of clinical priority and then by longest wait.
