<p>This learning report describes the work undertaken by two NHS trusts as part of the Health Foundation's Flow Cost Quality programme. It illustrates the problems created by poor flow that the programme was set up to address, and provides practical examples of how focusing on flow can improve quality, use available capacity effectively and save money. The report summarises key lessons from the programme and highlights important challenges for designing services and approaching change by focusing on flow. Flow Cost Quality ran in two NHS hospital trusts: South Warwickshire NHS Foundation Trust and Sheffield Teaching Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust. South Warwickshire looked at the emergency flow for all adult patients, while Sheffield focused on one clinical subspecialty - geriatric medicine. The case studies that accompany the report provide more details of the work done by each of the trusts.</p>

<p>This report, published by the Health Foundation and the Nuffield Trust, assesses the performance of the NHS on the quality of patient care in all four UK countries since devolution. Since  political devolution in 1999, there has been increasing policy divergence between the health systems of the four countries of the United Kingdom (UK). This report attempts to update earlier comparisons of the publicly financed health systems of England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland in terms of funding, inputs and performance before and since devolution. It also includes comparisons with the North East of England, which has been chosen as a better comparator with the three devolved nations than England as a whole. This report gives trends over time for a wider range of performance indicators from the late 1990s to 2011/12, or 2012/13 where data were available.</p>
