Our Challenges

Su Long – Chief Officer

Our financial challenge

We need to protect the NHS & Social Care for everyone who needs it… but budgets are already under pressure this year.

• Pressures caused by Covid-19 and the additional work required to restart and recover
• Increasing cost of workforce
• Meeting the needs of most complex cases
• Costs of investing in new treatments

We must spend our Bolton £ wisely by working as one system of health and care in Bolton

Our health outcomes challenge

The Covid-19 pandemic has widened inequalities in health nationally, and in Bolton. With the direct impacts of Covid-19, the delays caused to treatment and the health impacts expected to be caused by isolation in lockdown, growing unemployment, etc, we now have an even greater challenge to:

• Improve life expectancy
• Reduce health inequalities
• Provide an enhanced quality of care.
• Help people to get the support they need, wherever possible within their community
• Deliver a sustainable system for the future
