Locsu chief operating officer Richard Whittington has expressed confidence the optical sector can hit its 2018 ‘Breakthrough’ commissioning target despite local challenges.
He outlined Locsu’s progress against its published Breakthrough Strategy via a video blog, insisting the introduction of sustainable transformation plans (STPs) were a welcome development for the optical sector.
He said: ‘We have seen a significant increase from 30% to 52% of CCGs with a MEC Service and that is really encouraging.
‘The formation of the STPs means CCGs are pooling resources but that has slowed down decision making and commissioning by individual CCGs.
‘Nevertheless, establishing STPs fits our approach to deliver services at scale and I’m relatively confident that we will hit our target of 80% of CCGs with or intending to commission MECS by next April if STPs deliver what they say they will.’
