Value and efficiency

We will maximise efficiency and productivity to deliver the greatest value for our communities

High level, 5-year ambition

• We are delivering recurrent cost improvement programmes aligned to clinical and operational transformation, not short-term fixes.

• This is underpinned by fully aligned financial, operational and workforce planning at service and Trust level.

• We are delivering increased productivity and value through coordinated working with local authorities and NHS partners across south east London, including shared services, networked clinical models and aligned pathways.

Patients will feel

• the Trust is making best use of its resources, without compromising safety or quality 

• services are consistent and reliable, even during periods of pressure

• more time is spent on their care because processes work efficiently behind the scenes

TeamLGT will feel

• confident that efficiency improvements are clinically appropriate and sustainable, not short‑term cost cutting

• supported by better planning, clearer priorities and well‑designed processes

• able to focus more time on patient care rather than resolving inefficiency or using workarounds
