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.

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

Sirona. This will be investigated through the contract meetings.

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.

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

• 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

Glossary for Indicators

Indicator dashboard format:

The indicator reports are comparing performance in the latest available period with the target for that period, and

performance financial year to date with the year to date target. The results use Red-Amber-Green (RAG) rating to highlight

whether the results are on target.

There are arrows showing the direction of travel of the results for the latest available period compared with the previous

reported period. After the trend line there is a column that shows the direction this arrow needs to move in to be showing an

improvement in the results.

The trend lines show the last 13 periods results where available, this is aimed at giving a simple idea of how this indicator

has been performing in the last year. Each trend line is automatically formatted to fit the data of that indicator so please read

in context with the last months results.
