Annual Report and Financial Accounts 2010/11
Business Review
A wide range of communications methods were used to raise awareness of the consultation, communicate key messages from the plan and encourage feedback.
The full draft consultation document was distributed to 1,530 individuals and organisations, including those on the Trust’s stakeholder contact list. This includes all local authorities, scrutiny committees, LINks, community and patient groups and health partners. The document contained a questionnaire asking for feedback on specific issues as well as an opportunity for free text or comment.
Large notice boards setting out the options for Christchurch Hospital were displayed widely across Christchurch Hospital, Bournemouth Hospital, Christchurch Council Offices, Christchurch Information Centre, Library and the British Legion. The notice boards also contained information about the range of services currently provided at Christchurch Hospital, as it was identified many members of the public weren’t certain what was currently provided.
The Trust widely circulated voting slips on the two options for Christchurch Hospital. These were made available at locations across the area, including those which displayed the notice boards, and via the internet. Volunteers also helped the Trust to distribute these in the Christchurch area.
Notice of the consultation and the Trust’s three public meetings were also publicised using the following:
l Posters and leaflets
l Echo column l LCD screens l Via Governors
The Trust received a fantastic response to the public consultation, particularly from members of the public. In total 2,174 people used the voting slips, distributed widely, to give their view on the preferred option for Christchurch Hospital. 2,142 voted for option 1 (98.5%) while 32 voted for Option 2.
The feedback received from the public and our partners can be summarised as:
l The future of Christchurch Hospital as Option 1, ensuring most existing services remain on the site, but in a smaller number of buildings that fit the need.
l Sufficient support for patients once they have left hospital (especially social care and for strokes).
l PCT Board support for the majority of plans.
The Trust will now develop a business case based on Option 1.
4.6 Our strength is our staff
One of the Trust’s strengths, and the reason for consistently performing well, is its staff. Without their extraordinary commitment and dedication the Trust would not have been able to achieve the successes mentioned within this Report.
The Foundation Trust is a significant employer in the area with around 4,100 employees (full time equivalent of 3,700) as of 31st March, 2010. Staff turnover is below the national average and generally staff regard the Trust as a good place to work - as demonstrated in staff surveys
