Scope
Description
NHS Surrey Heartlands initiated work in 2024 to undertake a Major Service Review (MSR) - a long-term programme to ensure that health and care services across the system are organised to meet the evolving needs of the population. The initial focus was the development of a Case for Change, intended to serve as the foundation for future transformation. However, this work was paused following national financial reset announcements that required immediate attention to financial recovery and organisational change.
As the system now prepares to create a new organisation with NHS Sussex, there is a strategic opportunity to reinitiate and align this work with a parallel programme already underway in NHS Sussex, supported by Carnall Farrar. NHS Sussex has completed early stages of their strategic work, including baseline analysis and draft case for change development. Aligning the NHS Surrey Heartlands programme with this existing work will enable a consistent, comparable analytical foundation across the future combined organisation and support the development of a single ten-year strategic financial plan. This shared approach will help us to enter the new organisational form with a coherent strategic narrative, underpinned by agreed financial and analytical outputs.
