Finance: Hillingdon Hospital Trust squeaked home with an end of year surplus of £100,000 for 2009-2010, £2.4m behind plan, but far better than having a deficit.

Activity levels: New GP referrals remain very high, but births were lower than previously. A&E and elective surgery continued to flatten but the non-elective activity trend is high, which causes concern, particularly as Trusts now only receive 30% of the tariff for non-elective admissions above the 2008/2009 levels.

Hillingdon Hospital’s Annual Plan for 2010/2011: The Trust submitted its final revised Annual Plan for 2010/11 to NHS London in April. This includes a number of aspirations including its plans to increase stroke beds from 16 to 24 and to incorporate additional maternity deliveries, in line with its hopes to be a NW London maternity services provider. Its activity level of over 4,000 births per year with a supporting level 2 neonatal unit is expected to expand to manage more than 4,600 births per year by 2014/15.

The Trust has been asked to provide a Paediatric Oncology Shared Care Unit for West London, but the size and configuration are to be determined.

There are plans to improve and/or expand a range of other services including Plastics, Ear-Nose-and-Throat, Endoscopy, Bowel Screening, Genito-Urinary Medicine and Trauma.

The Trust continues to work closely with NHS Hillingdon and examples of collaborative work include plans for the Urgent Care Centre and the Referral Management Centre
