Early indications are that the Community Integrated Teams are beginning to impact on non-elective admissions in Sunderland, so congratulations to all involved in this tremendous achievement.
The most recent available statistics show that, in the period prior to October 2015 – the period before Integrated Teams – admissions increased by 8.4%. This is in line with the regional and national picture. However, since October last year, admissions have increased by only 1.8%; admissions elsewhere in the country have continued to increase at between 8% and 10%.
This equates to 140 fewer admissions per month, or approximately 1,700 per year.
This is a fantastic result, and we would like to thank everyone who has worked hard to implement this project.
More detailed information is available at both a practice and locality level.
