This memorandum covers:
- how savings targets have been set across individual trusts and other health bodies;
- how those bodies plan to secure the necessary savings locally;
- how the Department and NHS plan to monitor progress; and
- how innovative practice is being shared.
The memorandum does not evaluate the progress against the planned efficiency savings as it is too soon to do so; monitoring of the delivery plans started in April 2011.
