Will the increase in merger activity within the NHS lead to; improved patient outcomes, enhanced patient eperience and or reduced delivery costs?
Only with careful planning and rigorous attention to benefits management and realisation will the raft of NHS mergers deliver their intended results. Given the increasing expectations and demands being placed upon NHS Trusts it is imperative that they continue to manage their day-to-day activities in an effective and efficient manner whilst also planning for and managing the intergration associated with merging Trusts. Failure to perform any of these activities well could have significant consequences for all involved.
