Additional health funding could improve operations managementOperations management across the NHS could be improved by the injection of cash aimed at boosting local services.

As part of government plans for the continuous improvement of the NHS, £100 million is being provided by the Department of Health to benefit patients.

It was announced by health secretary Andrew Lansley, who stated the money will be used to enhance services in local communities.

He stated: "I am pleased to be able to give the NHS up to £100 million in extra funding to spend directly on local frontline care for their patients during the winter months."

The funding has been allocated to Clinical Commissioning Groups - which comprise GPs and health professionals - from cash generated through Department of Health savings and will be spent on initiatives such as providing more effective urgent care cover, improving out of hours services and extending opening times at GP practices.

Further changes to operations management in the NHS were recently announced by prime minister David Cameron, who revealed new proposals to alter the way in which nurses' time is spent.ADNFCR-3058-ID-801266975-ADNFCR
