uin	HL7236
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 27/04/2023 answer text <p>The reason for approving the salary at Humber Coast and Vale was that it features a large physical geography, making it difficult to support coastal towns. It also has the additional system complexity of having two of its foundation trusts, Northern Lincolnshire and Goole, in both quality and financial special measures.</p><p>For South Yorkshire and Bassetlaw, it features system complexity with Sheffield Health and Social Care Foundation Trusts due to being in quality special measures and needing to engage with five local authorities. It also contains former coalfields with considerable health needs.</p><p>Cornwall and Isles of Scilly features the geographical complexities of being a peninsula with 60% of people in settlements of under 30,000, affecting how and where services can be provided. There is also the additional complexity of having a large seasonal variation in population. Both of the two trusts within its remit required improvement as per their Care Quality Commission ratings.</p> answering member printed Lord Markham question first answered 27/04/2023 11:37:22 answering member 4948 label Biography information for Lord Markham
