Meeting of the Board of Directors Thursday 26 th May 2022 Chief executive’s report

1. Situation Report Our Trust escalation remains at level 2. As the incidence of Covid within the general population declines the impact on our staff and patients has also decreased over the past month. In line with the national guidance we have reviewed our biosecurity measures via the clinical advisory group and have further deescalated our biosecurity measures. Our focus continues to be to provide all cancer care and treatment for our patients, including those who have been affected by Covid. We continue to monitor plans including revised infection and prevention control measures to ensure sustained delivery of our services going forward as well as supporting the full recovery of cancer services together with other care providers. The national level 4 incident response from NHSE/I has been de-escalated to a level 3 regional incident response on 19 th May. Details are set out in appendix 1. 2.
