Peter Robertson and myself had a very productive meeting with Newcastle NHS Trust on Monday 10 December. While it's still early days, and we have a lot of work to do, agreeing which sort of packages we will transport, what the SLAs are to be etc etc, we're off to a great start with them - they fully appreciate the savings that the NHS will be able to make, and thereby divert funds into more clinical areas.

We both took away some further actions, and will be in regular contact now - the start of great things!
