Lot 1

This funding supports Winter in the West system for the following elements: * Frailty Same Day Emergency Care (FSDEC) at weekends. PS150,000. This would provide cover to match opening hours of SDEC at weekends. This will support flow through ED, admission avoidance through early intervention and treatment, better outcomes and better patient experience. It will also support QEH 4 hour and 12-hour improvement trajectories. Currently c12-15 patients a day are seen through FSDEC. * ARI bookable capacity in GP Front Door (GPFD).
