The Committee considered the 2025/26 Winter Plan at its meeting held on 11 December 2025, where it requested a further update be brought to this meeting to evaluate the overall effectiveness of the plan’s implementation.

The Sussex ICS Winter Plan 2025/26 focussed on supporting the population to stay well while maintaining patient safety and experience. The plan was structured around four key pillars: Acute and In Hospital Care; Primary and Community Care; Clinical and Operational Management; and Governance, Oversight and Escalation. The plan was supported by system-wide capacity and demand modelling, which was informed by data analysis from previous years’ winter performance. The modelling reviewed bed occupancy using a series of demand assumptions and predicted likely gaps between capacity and demand.
