p283. Next steps – response to the key findings 3.1 We will use the key findings from the CQC assessment to review and update our existing development and improvement plans, aligning these with our overarching vision and agreed priorities. 3.2 As many of the development areas highlighted by the CQC were self identified, there is a close alignment with our current Portfolio Plan priorities of Prevention, Waiting Times, Safeguarding, Quality and Value for Money. 3.3 Improvement actions will be delivered through our existing strategies (eg: Waiting Lists Project, Safeguarding Hub in HSCC, etc.) and wider health and care system initiatives (eg: Complex commissioning and market development, delayed discharge reduction) and monitored on a quarterly basis as part of the regular Council Plan progress reporting.
