Mid and South Essex Success Regime

The Mid and South Essex Success Regime is one of three national initiatives designed to support the most challenged health and care systems across the country.

The regime in Essex covers hospitals and NHS providers in the south of the county plus the CCGs that commission the services, including Thurrock CCG. The two to three year programme will see hospitals, GP surgeries and other NHS service providers work together to address deep-rooted pressures and secure high quality care.

The Success Regime will bring managerial and financial support to the region. It will help facilitate the developments of local plans that will set out how care will be transformed in a sustainable way. For more information on these plan, visit the Success Regime webstie.
