Financial Challenge

-          Rotherham has a £75M financial efficiency challenge over the 5 year period 2014-2019

-          In 2015-16 providers of health care would receive around 2% less for providing the same service

-          Rotherham Hospital has an Efficiency Plan of £12.5M in 2015-16

-          Increased costs and activity meant that Health Services would need an extra 6% in the budget each year just to stay still.  Budgets were increasing at around 1-2%
