HEALTH chiefs are set to meet at the next week to give a winter plan for North East and North Cumbria the greenlight.
The NHS North East and North Cumbria Integrated Care Board is set to meet on Tuesday September 30, hearing a number of updates on key pieces of work across the health system.
Integrated Care Boards across the country are responsible for ensuring their area has the health services it requires.
And at the next meeting of the board, members will receive the final draft of the North East and North Cumbria Integrated Care System Winter Plan.
Winter plans are designed to ensure the health system can provide care to those who need it whilst ensuring hospitals and emergency care settings do not become overwhelmed by the pressure of the demanding period.
Board papers set for discussion reveal that priorities for this winter in the North East and North Cumbria health system are: delivering safer urgent emergency care, enhancing respiratory services and maximising preventative services.
The meeting takes place at The Durham Centre and can be livestreamed.
