Mid and South Essex NHS Foundation Trust: Finance
The question
To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, what assessment his Department has made of the adequacy of the support provided via the NHS England Recovery Support Programme (RSP) to the Mid and South Essex NHS Foundation.
Answered by Karin Smyth
The Mid and South Essex NHS Foundation Trust is in segment four of the NHS Oversight Framework. This means that the trust is in receipt of national mandated support via NHS England’s Recovery Support Programme (RSP), led by senior and multidisciplinary teams to help embed sustainable quality and financial improvements.
RSP governance and oversight is well established, and Department officials meet with NHS England and the Care Quality Commission monthly to assess the progress and developments within the programme. This helps to ensure effective lines of communication and enables us to continue to assure that organisations are receiving appropriate support.
