Our priorities

Each year, our Trust sets out specific objectives to support the delivery of our Strategic Aims. The Trust Board monitors the delivery of these objectives throughout the year.

The Strategic Aims set out the clear direction of the organisation and what we will strive to achieve every day.

Our Strategic Aims are:

2011/12 Strategic Aims
 1 To ensure we provide high quality, safe and effective care for all our patients including meeting the essential standards of safety and quality as set by the Care Quality Commission
 2 To develop a viable integrated clinical strategy for secondary care services across north Cumbria which is sustainable and affordable
 3  To develop a new healthcare facility in West Cumbria that is fit for the 21st Century
 4 To achieve sustainable financial balance through the delivery of the Trust's internal cost improvement programme; securing a viable income contract in conjunction with GP Commissioners and contributing to the wider health economy turnaround plans to realise system wide cost reductions
 5 To develop and implement a successful merger or acquisition plan that enables the Trust to become part of an existing NHS Foundation Trust


 

 

 

 

 

From these aims, the Trust produces an Annual Plan. You can read more about our aims and objectives for this year in our Annual Plan.
