• Shortage of Medical Staffing in Certain Specialties�A&E�General Surgery
• Critical Care Demand Pressures due to Rising Acuity
• Demographic change driven demand outpacing our ability to transfer services from Acute to Community leading to increases in EMA’s
• Poor OPD infrastructure which restricts the introduction of new ways of multi-disciplinary working – we will develop a primary care strategy for OP services
