| dc.description | The demand for acute hospital services continues to increase in line with a growing and ageing population. The Hospital Groups continue to implement the Securing the Future of Smaller Hospitals: A Framework for Development. This will ensure that all hospitals irrespective of size work together in an integrated way to meet the needs of patients and staff, with an increased focus on small hospitals managing routine or planned care locally and more complex care managed in the larger hospitals. Acute hospital services will continue to respond to demographic and demand driven cost pressures in 2017. An estimated increase of 1.7% in costs associated with increasing population and age profile is predicted for acute hospitals in 2017 compared with 2016. In addition, an increase in ED presentations of 5% is evident at the end of 2016, compared to the same period in 2015. The division will monitor this activity closely and manage the potential impact on elective services. Acute hospital services aims to provide safe, quality, effective patient centred care to all service users. | en |
