Chairman and Chief Executive’s Statement<br />

The conclusion of this reporting year marks the one-year anniversary of our<br />

acquisition of community services in Knowsley.<br />

We are delighted that Knowsley Clinical Commissioning Group (CCG) has<br />

confirmed that Knowsley Integrated Provider Services (KIPS) will be<br />

remaining with us after the initial two-year transfer period has ended. Our<br />

current contract will continue until April 2014 when it will be replaced by one<br />

with Knowsley CCG and other successor bodies with responsibility for<br />

commissioning services provided by KIPS.<br />

This excellent news is reflective of a year in which the <strong>Trust</strong> has continued to<br />

seek and embrace new challenges – building upon its expertise in the fields of<br />

mental health and learning disabilities with important work around physical<br />

well-being. We are particularly proud that Sir David Nicholson officially<br />

recognised the breadth of physical activities our people have taken part in –<br />

presenting the <strong>Trust</strong> with a Gold <strong>NHS</strong> 2012 Challenge Award. We are also<br />

proud of the Nursing Standard 2012 award-winning work our nursing staff<br />

have undertaken as part of the State of Mind Programme – supporting Rugby<br />

League players and their fan-bases to enjoy better mental well-being.<br />

We have also continued with our important work around our <strong>Trust</strong> Values. The<br />

development of Team Charters throughout our <strong>Trust</strong> demonstrates a clear<br />

commitment by team members to live our Values consistently.<br />

In this report you will see that our emphasis remains on the quality of our<br />

patients’ experience. As such we have included an overview of the<br />

consultation and pilot work we have undertaken to improve access to and<br />

enhance the care we provide in our Adult; Later Life and Memory; and<br />

Learning Disabilities services. Last year we announced that we are exploring<br />

an opportunity to invest more than £20million into a new haven of recovery for<br />

people with mental ill-health at Leigh Infirmary. We hope to finance a purposebuilt<br />

facility influenced by ‘the best’ of current provision across England and<br />

Wales.<br />

With all this to look forward to 2012-13 looks to be another year of exciting<br />

developments at the <strong>Trust</strong>.<br />
