Acute hospital productivity
The Health Foundation has published Acute hospital productivity. It is an analysis of acute hospital productivity from 2009/10 – 2014/15. This briefing is an update to the April 2015 Health Foundation report, Hospital finances and productivity: in critical condition? This analysis shows that the productivity of acute hospitals in England has continued to deteriorate. Overall, the productivity of acute hospitals increased by only 0.3% between 2009/10 and 2014/15 an average rate of 0.1% per year. Between 2009/10 and 2014/15 as a whole, activity growth and input growth have converged leading to the very low level of annual average productivity growth.   


Priorities for NHS provider organisations
Monitor, NHS England and Public Health England have published Implementing the forward view: supporting providers to deliver. This report is for NHS provider organisations and is part of a series of planned roadmaps that draw on messages from the NHS shared planning guidance, which sets out the key priorities for the organisations responsible for delivering high quality health and care this year and beyond. Each roadmap reflects a shared vision for the health and care sector as set out in the Five Year Forward View about the challenges ahead.
