Demand and Capacity Review Drivers: — implementation of the new clinical response model, — increase in Unscheduled Care Demand, — increase in Service Time (Internal and External), — reconfiguration of Services on National, Regional and Local levels, — reliance on overtime and on call working, — issues in relation to staff welfare, e.g. shifts over running, — increasing difficulties in releasing staff for protected learning time and development.
