Leeds Transformation Programme

What is the programme designed to achieve?

The Leeds Transformation Programme is a city-wide agreement between Health and Social Care partners to work together to deliver the challenges ahead, including increasing quality and innovation and productivity.

It is designed to bring key organisations together on this important task; to ensure their full engagement in identifying and delivering the most appropriate solutions to sustain quality while substantially reducing the overall cost in the Leeds health and social care economy by the end  of 2014.

In parallel, the city is moving to a new model of health and social care as a result of the national reforms for the NHS and local authority, where we need to focus even further on:

• Improving the health and well being of people in our communities
• Reducing health inequalities and social exclusion
• Improving health and social outcomes through our services
• Achieving savings and cost reductionsImplementing efficiencies to help meet increasing demand

Which organisations are involved?

The Programme is being led by NHS Leeds, which has the legal responsibility for improving health across the city. Therefore, the organisations listed below are key partners in the programme and have a seat on the Transformation Board which guides this work: 

• NHS Leeds
• Leeds City Council
• Clinical commissioning groups - Leeds North CCG, Leeds South and East CCG and Leeds West CCG
• Leeds Teaching Hospitals NHS Trust
• Leeds and York Partnership NHS Foundation Trust 
• NHS Leeds Community Healthcare

The Transformation Implementation Executive is chaired by Dr Simon Stockill, GP at Kirkstall Lane Medical Centre and a Board member for NHS Airedale, Bradford and Leeds.
