Huge congratulations to Louise Jeanes, Cancer Programme Manager, Living with Cancer Programme and Debbie Hocknell, ICB Senior Finance Business Partner, who have won an award this week!
On behalf of Lincolnshire ICB, Louise and Debbie entered the HMFA (Healthcare Financial Management Association) Awards 2022 and have won the ‘Governance’ award, for implementing a proactive programme which put in place arrangements to ensure funds are directed quickly to the most challenged areas across the whole health and care system in Lincolnshire.
The judges agreed unanimously that the work undertaken to liberate cancer funds in a well governed way enabled earlier treatment for many patients. They also stated that if applied nationally, the improvement could “hugely benefit citizens”.
Louise said they were delighted to receive the accolade.
“We developed an integrated decision-making process, agreed by the Director of Finance, called ‘Cancer Prioritisation Process’. The new system resulted in monies being allocated to the most challenged cancer areas, with a fair and equitable approach to bids being submitted and rated in line with a clear process and timeframe.
To win an award and hear such positive feedback from the judges is wonderful.”
