Why are we doing work in this area?
The quarterly monitoring report is produced to provide a regular update on how the NHS is coping as it grapples with the evolving reform agenda and the more significant challenge of making radical improvements in productivity.
What are we doing as part of this work?
We produce a quarterly report that examines the views of finance directors on the productivity challenge they face, as well as some key NHS performance data – including delayed transfers of care, hospital-acquired infections, workforce and redundancy figures, and hospital and diagnostic test waiting times.
The report is published four times a year – in October, January, April and July.
You can review the January 2012, October 2011, April 2011 and July 2011 editions now.
