The Year 2011/12 launched today at the annual NHS
Confederation Conference and Exhibition. This is the annual report for 2011/12,
in which Sir David Nicholson reviews the NHS achievements of the previous 12
months and considers the challenges to come.
This edition includes The Quarter, which provides the
definitive account of how the NHS is performing at national level against the
requirements and indicators set out in the NHS Operating Framework 2011/12.
In his introduction to The Year Sir David acknowledges the hard
work and diligence of NHS colleagues, with the service now fully committed to
delivering the Quality, Innovation, Productivity and Prevention (QIPP)
efficiency savings.
Against a backdrop of massive organisational change, Sir
David praises, ‘the heroic efforts made by the 1.2 million staff who work for
our patients in the NHS.’ Together, they have delivered key successes,
including the lowest infection rates since the introduction of mandatory
surveillance, lower waiting times for A&E, cancer care and dentistry, and
the delivery of £5.8 billion QIPP savings.
