Rotherham NHS Trust's record under microscope at meeting

The meeting, on Wednesday September 12, will include presentations on the annual report and accounts, a look back at the challenges and successes of the past year, and an overview of the trust’s strategy for the next three years from chief executive, Brian James.

Mr James said: “The whole of the public sector and the NHS in particular face a period of severe austerity as a consequence of the global financial crisis and its impact on the UK economy, and over the next few years the trust will have to fundamentally change the way many of its services are delivered if it is to remain a strong and resilient provider of health care in the borough.

“Our AGM gives us the opportunity to engage the general public in understanding the difficulties ahead, but also an opportunity to share our ideas about how services can be sustained and indeed enhanced and improved in these challenging economic times.”

The AGM, which is open to he public, staff and patients, begins at 5pm in the lecture theatre at Rotherham Hospital in Moorgate Road (PGME corridor, level D).

Copies of the annual report and accounts are available prior to the AGM by emailing [email protected] or calling 01709 427536.
