Our proposals for the reshaping of planned, acute and emergency services have been developed over a number of years. We have listened to the views of NHS staff, stakeholders and patients and our thinking has been driven by our desire to:
Improve access to high quality care
Improve outcomes for patients
Reduce waiting times
Provide access to treatment when it is needed
Rejuvenate our hospitals by giving each of them a clear role
Ensure NHS staff feel supported.
Changing for the Future has been developed almost a decade after the original Changing for the Better programme in 2012. The original programme, the associated South Wales Programme, and subsequent engagements have sought to ensure our health services are sustainable. We now also need to address the challenges arising from the global pandemic.
In 2019 we refreshed Changing for the Better and produced our Clinical Services Plan which reflected progress over the past few years, and we have made some very good progress but we now need to go further.
The Changing for the Future programme proposes a re-shaping of local health services in a way that is:
Financially sustainable
Makes the best use of existing resources and new investment
Supports people to better manage their own conditions and symptoms
Embraces modern technology
Encourages and supports new ways of working
Empowers a health and care workforce that feels supported
