BaNES Integrated Quality and Performance Report August 2015 5
Complaints and PALS – Quarter 1
Quarterly activity The following activity was recorded between 1st April and 30th June 2015.
Themes & learning from Complaints 2 complaints were received by the CCG in Quarter 1, 2015/16. These were acknowledged and responded to within the agreed
timescales. One complaint was about non-urgent patient transport services (PTS) and the other was about the delay in payment of
retrospective continuing healthcare (CHC) fees. Both complaints were upheld and have now been closed.
These are both areas in which the CCG has been monitoring performance and making considerable changes including :
• The service has been undergoing significant change in recent months including additional staff and vehicles; additional processes
relating to journey planning and dispatching, and revision of eligibility criteria for non-urgent transport to enable allocation of
appropriate vehicles for patients.
• A new process has been introduced for managing the continuing healthcare fees payments.
Themes & learning from PALS The CCG received a total of 41 contacts into the Patient Advice and Liaison Service (PALS). The majority of the queries related to
general issues (41%), followed by queries or concerns about the Patient Transport Service (15%). The CCG contract lead for patient
transport is working closely with the PALs and Complaints team to monitor concerns, responses and remedial actions.
The CCG also received a total of 3 enquires from MPs regarding the following:
• Future levels of funding for Mental Health Services.
• Interlinking relationships between Mental Health Services and Physical Health Services.
• Poor understanding by healthcare staff of Autistic Spectrum Disorders.
* Learning outcomes from PALS can be found in the Complaints and PALS Quarter 1 report.

Serious Incidents Framework – Update Summary P
atien
t S
afe
ty
The new Serious Incidents (SI) Framework was published in March 2015, and replaced the previous versions published by
the National Patient Safety Agency (NPSA) and NHS England. It applies to serious incidents which occur in all services
providing NHS funded care and will apply to all contracts delivered from 2015/16.
With the aim of simplifying the process of reporting and monitoring serious incidents, three key operational changes have
been made:
1: Removal of grading – Under the new framework Serious Incidents are not defined by grade – all incidents meeting
the threshold of a Serious Incident must be investigated and reviewed according to the principles set out in the framework.
2: Timescale – A single timeframe (60 working days) has been agreed for the completion of investigation report (RCA).
This will allow providers and commissioners to monitor progress in a more consistent way. This also provides clarity for
patients and families in relation to completion dates for investigations.
3. Closure – The CCG will now be solely responsible for the closure of all serious incidents. Previously, any ‘grade 2’
incidents were required to be submitted to the NHS England local Area Team for sign-off and closure. Commissioners are
required to undertake a quality assurance review of the RCA within 20 calendar days of receipt.

Further internal action has been agreed with the RUH as part
of the SRG’s 4 hour recovery plan to try and recover the 4
hour standard. This remains extremely challenging with the
combined targets of elective activity and non-elective activity
placing pressure on the RUH’s reduced bed base due to their
Summer bed plan closures. The RUH continues to experience
significant A&E 4 hour breaches with the main cause
recorded as bed management. The failure to achieve QTR 1
and the high risk of QTR 2 failure places delivery of the 4 hour
standard for 2015/16 at risk.
SWASFT continue to report increased activity above the
contract level for the north division and within BaNES, placing
additional pressure on the Red1 and Red 2 targets for
BaNES. Red 1 remains on targets at 75% for the YTD. The
South West commissioners have completed the contract
variation order to reflect the new 70% Red 2 target for 2015/16
to recognise the Dispatch on Disposition (DoD) impact on
Red 2. SWSAFT have agreed with Commissioners the Red 2
recovery plan. A 19 has seen an increase in June, however
this still remains below target for the YTD.

The RUH A&E attendance activity is currently tracking below 2014/15
demand levels. In April and May demand activity was also under
2013/14 levels. The conversion to admission rate from this reduced
attendance has however risen significantly, indicating an increase in the
number of patients with complex needs requiring admission. This rise in
non-elective admissions has been accompanied with a rise in the non-
elective length of stay at the RUH, across all CCGs. It should be noted
that BaNES LOS currently remains at 2014/15 levels.
Despite early signs in May of a recovery in the RUH’s A&E 4 Hour
Performance, June and July’s performance has fallen significantly below
the 4 Hour Standard. This fall in performance has coincided with the
RUH’s internal summer bed closure plan and the admission rate and
LOS impact explained above. This position has further been
exacerbated by additional bay closures due to internal maintenance
requirements. While the DTOC position is significantly improved from
2014/15, there are continuing bed management challenges due to
delays in setting up complex packages of care. These also indicate an
increase in the complexity of patients requiring Urgent Care.
BaNES SRG continues to provide focus and leadership and the
combined CCGs have funded increased external capacity through
increased Reablement, Discharge to Assess at scale and are working
with partners to improve discharge by the creation of an Integrated
Hospital Discharge Service (IHDS) at the RUH. All of these actions are
part of the SRG 4 Hour Recovery Plan and this approach is being
reviewed as part of a tripartite approach lead by NHSE.

Ambulance Service Demand
The ambulance service is seeing increased demand in 2015/16 :
• Increasing ambulance calls including disposition %s from 111.
• Improved call management at SWASFT including dispatch on
disposition that is reducing the proportion of calls leading to a
dispatch.
• Improved conveyance %: once ambulance crew see patients they
are conveying a lower proportion to ED but the higher demand
means the volumes conveyed are actually in line with 2014/15.
• The improved triaging means that the patients reaching ED are
likely to have higher acuity.

18 week Referral to Treatment (RTT) Targets
It was noted in the last report that the RUH had committed to providing specialty level RTT plans by the end of July 2015, and
that they would be developed using an IMAS demand modelling tool (NHS Interim Management and Support) provided by
Monitor. The full model outputs should be available for the next RTT Assurance Group meeting on 24 August 2015.
The CCG has agreed to commission additional elective surgery capacity for 2015/16 in order to meet the RTT targets . The
RUH were originally planning to meet these targets at a Trust-wide level by the end of Quarter 1, however, they reported in
July that it would be the end of Quarter 2 due to the pressure on beds from unplanned care cases admitted in Q1. A further
report received this month suggested that longer will be required to clear the admitted backlog.

Planned Care Update 2
Demand management
It was noted in the last report that work is underway with the Clinical Commissioning Reference Board Sub-Group (CCRB) to
develop action plans for challenged specialties. Work to date has focused on Dermatology and Gastroenterology as the RUH was
experiencing a significant rise in referrals. The focus will now be on Orthopaedics and General Surgery as both specialties have
seen an increasing problem with managing RTT waiting times. This is partly due to increased referrals but also to non-elective
activity putting pressure on availability of elective beds and theatre sessions. This work will be progressed through the RTT
Assurance Group and the CCRB Sub-Group.
Update on Dermatology
Following the request from the RUH to manage 8 dermatological conditions in primary care, the CCG commissioned a short term
arrangement with BEMS+ to provide support to GPs with managing these patients. The BEMS+ service triages and treats patients
and is restricted to the 8 conditions identified by the RUH. Any other conditions are referred to secondary care.
In July, the Joint Commissioning Committee approved an extension to the arrangement for a further 6 months whilst the current
service is reviewed. As noted in the last report, the intention is to work with local providers to develop a community model. Scoping
work has started with the BEMS+ lead and RUH Dermatology clinicians and managers.
MSK programme
The MSK (muscoloskeletal) Steering Group will begin to meet in September and initial membership of the group and the work
stream sub-groups has been agreed. The PMO lead is currently collating the activity and financial baseline position for discussion at
the first meeting. This will describe the current expenditure and case mix by provider and identify trends. The original benchmarking
information which informed the Strategic Plan will also be refreshed to reflect the latest position.

NHS Constitution Standards – Change in reporting 1
Sir Bruce Keogh Recommends changes to waiting time measures
On 4th June, Sir Bruce Keogh wrote to Simon Stevens in reply to a request to review the current waiting time measures to
ensure they make sense for patients and are not provoking perverse behaviours. The key recommendations are below and
were accepted in full by Simon Stevens and the Secretary of State:
• Abolish the referral to treatment time (RTT) admitted and non-admitted measures and make the incomplete standard
which captures the experience for all patients on the waiting list the only measure.
“In the last year, we announced a temporary suspension of the admitted and non-admitted standards to encourage hospitals
to treat long-wait patients. The results were compelling with record numbers of long-wait patients treated. It is absurd,
however, to find ourselves in a situation where we had to suspend our own waiting time targets to do what is right for
patients”
• Expand the dispatch on disposition pilot currently in the South West (including BaNES) that increases the time allowed
assessing a call’s urgency by up to 120 seconds reducing the number of dispatches, making more vehicles available for
genuinely urgent calls. A further recommendation on the national standards (i.e. % attended within 8/19 minutes) by
Autumn 2016.
• Accident & Emergency - Review 4 hour access standard to include the impact of reducing minor complaints seen in
hospitals in communities with good out of hospital services and bring in a wider range of clinical standards, both
alongside the implementation of redesigned urgent and emergency care services in areas around the country this year.
• Cancer waiting time and diagnostics standards are appropriate.
• Mental Health - waiting times standards are starting in 2015/16 and will continue to be introduced across the range of
services over five years.
• Standardise reporting arrangements so that statistics for A&E, RTT, cancer, diagnostics, ambulances, 111 and delayed
transfers of care are all published on the same day of the month. Mental health waiting time statistics to join this pattern
once available.

NHS Constitution Standards – Change in reporting 2
What do the changes to reporting operational standards mean for us?
On 24th June, NHS England, Monitor and the TDA wrote to CCGs and Providers to explain the operational impacts of the
changes to the waiting time measures:
• RTT sanctions - From the end of June there will be no sanctions including fines for CCGs or providers failing the admitted
or non-admitted standards. Commissioners should not levy any financial sanctions from 1st April 2015 for these standards.
• RTT contract changes - NHS England will consult on a variation to the national contract to remove the sanctions for these
pathways and propose increasing the value of the sanction for not meeting the incomplete standard. This is intended to be
completed for 1st October. To remove the standards themselves will require the standing rules regulations to be revised by
Parliament.
• RTT data collection – Providers are expected to continue to submit the RTT monthly collections as normal. Minor
amendments are expected to add some items (number of clock starts, decisions to admit and validation removals). There
is consultation with CCG’s and providers on these changes during August.
• A&E data collection – weekly collection and publication of A&E data stopped on 1st July.
• Mandatory data reporting – there will be a more stringent approach to non-reporting of mandatory data particularly for
providers about to undergo patient administration system upgrades. This is to ensure reporting is ceased only in the most
exceptional circumstances.

response to changes to internal Sirona processes. The assessments and

plan timings needs to be seen as well. This will continue to be monitored
in performance meetings
Since April 2015 there has been a reduction in the achievement against
this target. The disparity between timing of assessments and careplans
suggests a "waiting list" has resulted from internal process changes in

• substantial growth in the number of clients seeking support
for problematic alcohol misuse, up from 388 in 2012/13 to
647 in 2014/15. The increase in numbers in Alcohol
Treatment reflects the development of the RUH Alcohol

In 2014/15 there was:
• significant progress in increasing the
proportion of all clients in treatment who
successfully completed treatment and did not
re-present within 6 months (PHOF 2.15). With
B&NES now the top performing partnership
for clients recovering from opiate use (when
compared to 32 local area comparator (LAC)
partnerships). The service was remodelled
and providers were asked to focus on client
recovery which has improved outcomes for
clients who were motivated.
• excellent support to reduce the harm caused
by Blood Borne Viruses with 95% of previous
or current injectors being tested for Hepatitis
C (i.e. only 5% have not been tested in
B&NES compared to 20% of clients
nationally). This support is provided by a
specialist blood borne virus nurse
supplemented in the first half of the year by a
project to focus on expanding the reach of
support and encouraging high risk clients to
be tested and immunised.

Mental Health Update – Substance Misuse 2014/15 3
One approach to understanding how recovery might be achieved is to focus on the concept of ‘recovery capital’, which the
2010 national drugs strategy defines as “the resources necessary to start, and sustain recovery from drug and alcohol
dependence.” (HMG, 2010) Since this time, recovery support has been developed which seeks to optimise building recovery
capital for clients.
The following chart compares Q4 2013/14 (blue) with Q4 2014/15 (grey). Of particular note is the significant increase in
Mutual Aid being provided, which is a core part of developing recovery capital in sustaining abstinence. This is provided by
peer mentors, better links with NA and AA and more SMART recovery and has been a significant driver in the service’s
improved outcomes.

Children and Young People’s Update 1
Child and Adolescent Mental Health Service (CAMHS)
• Following the publication of ‘Future In Mind’ in March 2015, a significant amount of national funding to
improve/transform community CAMHS has been allocated to B&NES. The funding is dependent on national
approval of a local multi-agency ‘Transformation Plan’. Detailed guidance was issued early August and the plan
must be submitted by October 16th. The plan must include promotional and preventative services, generic
CAMHS, and more specialised support for Eating Disorders and Early Intervention in Psychosis. Children’s
commissioners will create the plan by collaborating closely with members of the multi-agency strategic Emotional
Health and Wellbeing Group and other stakeholders.
Community Health Services
• Health Visitor Service commissioning arrangements moving into the Local Authority from the NHS is going ahead
as per the project plan.

Special Educational Needs and Disabilities (SEND)
SEND reforms introduced by the Children and Families Act 2014 continue to be implemented.
• Pathway for medical reports to advise the Education Health and Care Panel is a success and has reduced the
time community paediatricians were spending submitting reports.
• The additional time required by Occupational and Speech & Language therapists to fully contribute to the
Educational, Health and Care Plans is being investigated.
• A review of the requirements of the District Medical Officer/Deputy Chief Medical Officer role within the CCG
continues.
Personal Health Budgets and IPC
• Integrated Personal Health Commissioning (IPC) aims to demonstrate how personalisation can improve
outcomes for children with complex needs. The aim is to develop 10 personalised support plans in 2015/16 that
may include a personal budget if appropriate. Two personal budgets are in place.

linked to higher incidence of Cdif in the community. The problem is because we low users are proportion
of the antibiotics which have been linked to CDiff in the community is proportionally higher.

NSAIDs - Volume tbc The volume and choice of Non Steroidal Anti Inflammatory Drugs (NSAIDS) is our proxy measure for
safety and an area of focus for the team. High volumes are viewed as inappropriate because these
drugs have a high side effect profile including GI problems. The choice is now using the NSAIDs which
have a better cardiovascular risk profile. This indicator we have made some significant progress on but
are continuing to focus on. Other CCGs are catching up with the early work place like B&NES have
