Dear Ms Kelly
RE: Freedom of Information (FOI) request – WHSCT Delivery Plan 2018/19 and
2019/20
We refer to your Freedom of Information request which was received by the Western
Health and Social Care Trust on 28th May 2019.
You requested information regarding a draft document on the HSCB (NI) website
called a Trust Delivery Plan 2018-2019 for the Western HSC Trust which is dated 28
November 2018 and is marked DRAFT and CONFIDENTIAL as follows:
1) Please confirm whether this TDP is in fact the final Delivery Plan for WHSCT
for 18-19 year and, if not, please let me have a copy of the final document.
We can confirm that this is the final Trust Delivery Plan for 2018/19 which was
submitted to the Health and Social Care Board (HSCB) for approval. The Trust
Delivery Plan was approved by the Health and Social Care Board at their meeting on
14 March 2019 and I attach a copy of the final version of the Trust Delivery Plan for
your information.
2) Can you provide an estimated date when the Trust Delivery Plan for the
Western HSCT for 2019-2020 will be submitted to the HSCB and when it will be
published?
We have not received formal notification regarding submission timescales for Trust
Delivery Plans in 2019/20. However we understand that Trusts will be expected to
submit their plans to the Health and Social Care Board (HSCB) in September/
October 2019. We would expect to publish our Trust Delivery Plan on our website
once it has been formally approved by the HSCB and if required, by DoH.
