Spend money wisely

To ensure we provide value for money, we will:

 

Use our resources efficiently and effectively

The majority of our budget is spent on our staff (78%), with the rest going on supplies, our estate, our vehicle fleet and capital-related issues.

Not only do we need to make the best use of these resources, we will need to make savings in these areas without compromising the quality of care we provide to patients.

Maintain service performance during major events

We are involved in a wide range of events, planned and unplanned, across the capital.

Every year we provide medical support at large-scale events such as the London Marathon and Notting Hill festival. And we have had extensive experience dealing with major incidents, most notably the London bombings in July 2005.

During events like this, we try our best to continue to deliver our day-to-day service to patients across the capital.

When the Olympic and Paralympic Games are held in London in 2012, our challenge will be to ensure we provide a good service to the Games, whilst maintaining our service to the public of London.

Improve engagement with key stakeholders

The public and a wide range of organisations have an interest in the work that we do.

We value the views of these stakeholders on how we are doing, and how we can improve our service. We are looking at how we can work more closely with them so that they can help us provide better care for patients.
