10.4.20 Southern Health’s response to coronavirus epidemic: update 2
News
Overview
As a result of the current and ongoing coronavirus epidemic, Southern Health (along with all other NHS organisations across the country) is having to adapt its healthcare services to (a) keep pace with the fast evolving situation, (b) adhere to Government guidance on increasing capacity for current and expected demand across the system and (c) protect our patients, staff and local communities.
During these fast-changing times, our aim is to provide our local overview and scrutiny committees with regular updates on those healthcare services where changes are necessary as a result of the national crisis.
This paper is the second in a planned series of updates – and follows the first written briefing on 27 March 2020, which also provided some background on the coronavirus.
