The report sets out the Sussex System Winter Plan for October 2023 to April 2024, covering demand management, admissions avoidance, hospital flow and supporting workstreams. It explains how NHS, social care, local authorities and voluntary-sector partners will work together to maintain safe services and support vulnerable residents during winter.

Financial impact
