Overview at quarter 3, 2017/18 (1/5)

Introduction

This quarter saw the start of one of the most challenging winter periods that the NHS has had, with demand rising significantly and placing real pressure on the NHS. However, NHS staff have worked extremely hard to care for patients, including the 5.6 million people who came to A&E over this period – a quarter of a million more than the same period last year.

Overall, providers have succeeded in treating more patients within key operational standards, despite the extremely challenging environment they have been working in. Although record demand for services and variation in performance across the sector have led to a decline in the sector’s finances at quarter 3 (Q3), providers have kept A&E performance steady at a national level compared to last year and appear to have stopped the year-on-year decline in performance seen during recent years.

Higher than planned levels of A&E activity and high levels of bed occupancy have affected providers’ ability to admit patients who require planned care, which has had a negative impact on finances. These operational challenges have created financial pressure across the provider sector, particularly within the acute sector. Additionally, there has also been a serious deterioration in the reported financial position in a minority of providers. The degree of deterioration is a matter of concern and has led NHS Improvement to use its regulatory power to protect services and drive improvement.

The financial picture demonstrates the need for providers to continue their focus on finances in the last quarter of the year. While good progress continues to be made to reduce the cost of agency staff to the NHS, significant opportunities for improving efficiency and quality overall remain and need to be delivered.

It would be unrealistic to assume in most systems that the demand which has been building for a number of years is going to reverse. Therefore, local health systems need to work together to plan for capacity in 2018/19 and beyond that can meet the increasing levels of demand that we will continue to see.

Overview at quarter 3, 2017/18 (2/5) Despite intense operational pressure, NHS staff have seen more people than ever before in under four hours

During the first three quarters of this year, demand for hospital services continued to increase, with a significant spike related to winter – December

saw almost 400,000 emergency admissions via A&E, 5.9% more than in December 2016. The rate of flu-confirmed hospital admissions is around

three times higher than last year and greater than the peak reached in the previous seven seasons, making this the most significant flu season

since the winter of 2010/11.

Despite the continued increase in the number of patients attending A&E and those being admitted to hospital as an emergency, the hard work to

prepare for a demanding winter period has paid off. Year-to-date performance against the A&E standard is 89.5%, similar to performance for the

same period last year (89.6%), indicating that the year-on-year decline in performance experienced during this period over the previous four years

has halted.

However, A&E performance remains significantly below NHS Constitution standards. Performance for December was 85.1%, below the previous

month (88.8%) and 1.1% lower than the same time last year (86.2%). 659 patients waited over 12 hours in Q3 – this is a reduction from 1,262

during the same period last year; nonetheless the NHS’s aim remains to eliminate 12 hour trolley waits completely.

Demand for emergency care and high levels of bed occupancy have impacted providers’ ability to perform elective work

Alongside rising demand, high levels of bed occupancy have affected providers’ ability to admit patients who require planned care. In response to

these pressures, and a recommendation issued by the NHS National Emergency Pressures Panel on 20 December that providers defer non-urgent

inpatient elective care, many providers took the justifiable decision to prioritise emergency activity over elective work.

Overall, providers have made progress in reducing delayed discharges. Since February 2017, over 1,400 acute beds have been released by

reducing delays to patient discharge, but overall bed occupancy has been affected by delays in transfers of care to other settings, including social

care. During Q3 there were around 470,000 bed days across acute, community and mental health providers occupied by delayed discharge

patients (accounting for 4.6% of all beds).

By the end of December 2017, 88.2% of patients waiting to start treatment had been waiting up to 18 weeks, compared with 89.7% in the same

period last year. However, the volume of patients treated within 18 weeks was greater: 10.27 million so far this year, 63,500 more than the same

period last year.

The Autumn Budget announced £337 million additional funding for the NHS over winter. This funding will have helped offset some of the costs of

winter already incurred by providers.

Performance is mixed on other performance standards

Providers failed in aggregate to achieve the waiting time standard for 14 of the 15 key diagnostic tests. This decline in performance has been driven partly by a significant increase in demand – there were 5.8% more tests requested per working day in December 2017 than in the same period last year. Waiting times for endoscopy tests have increased in particular, which account for around 12% of the diagnostics waiting list.

In response to increasing demand, more patients began cancer treatment this year (37,153 during Q3, 2.3% more than in the same quarter last year) and all but one national cancer waiting-time standard was achieved in Q3. NHS providers failed to achieve the target of 85% for 62 day wait for first treatment following an urgent GP referral, with performance of 82.9% in Q3. This was, however, an 0.7% improvement on performance achieved in the same quarter last year (82.2%).

NHS Improvement is supporting providers to improve performance in a number of ways, for example through our Intensive Support Team, and by working with Cancer Collaboratives across the country.

The combined effects of these pressures have affected NHS finances

Operational pressures have had a material impact on NHS finances. At Q3, providers reported a year-to-date deficit of £1,281 million, £365 million above the ambitious plan set for this point in the year. This is attributable to a combination of factors, including overspends on employee costs and non-pay costs of £701 million (1.8%) and £292 million (1.3%) respectively. Part of the increase in non-pay expenditure was for purchasing healthcare from non-NHS bodies – this was £144 million above plan, reflecting capacity constraints in Q3. However, non-pay expenditure is expected to be just 1% higher than the levels seen in 2016/17 by the end of the year, which, in view of the inflationary pressures evident during 2017/18, represents a significant achievement.

At the start of the year providers ambitiously planned for a real terms reduction in paybill – their single biggest area of expenditure – driven by a planned reduction in temporary staffing and workforce productivity measures. The overspend in this area reflects the significant pressure caused by increased demand, vacancies and staff sickness/absence.

The increase in the deficit has in part been offset by a £254 million rise in income, although this masks the disproportionate effect of higher-than-planned levels of emergency activity (for which expenditure tends to exceed income), and lower-than-planned elective work (for which income typically exceeds expenditure). This shift in activity, likely to be in part due to the start of the winter period, has resulted in a combined shortfall of £299 million for elective admissions and outpatient work. The operational challenges outlined above have created financial pressure across the provider sector, particularly within the acute sector, where 107 of 136 providers have reported a deficit at Q3.

Whilst there have been widespread operational issues, there has also been a small number of providers where performance has diverged materially from the plans approved by Boards at the start of the year. Excluding the positive impact of the Sustainability and Transformation Fund, 20 trusts (9%) reported an adverse variance of over £10 million at Q3. Before further remedial action, the sector is now planning for a deficit of £931 million by the end of 2017/18.

Agency spend continues to fall, but there are high levels of vacancies which are difficult to fill

Agency costs have continued to decrease significantly following NHS Improvement initiatives and action taken by providers. At Q3, the sector spent £108 million less than planned and £441 million less than the comparable period last year – a dramatic fall of 20%. Despite ongoing pressures, this trend is expected to continue into Q4, with providers forecasting that agency expenditure will underspend by £137 million for the year. However, the use of bank staff was £664 million above plan at Q3, reflecting the need to manage workload in the face of increased demand, high vacancy levels, sickness/absence and staff turnover.

For the first time, this report includes NHS Improvement data on workforce, based on management information from the sector – this gives us the clearest indication so far of the scale of the workforce challenge facing providers. In addition to the 1.1 million whole time equivalent staff employed by providers, there are around 100,000 vacancies. Although this has reduced slightly in the last quarter, these vacancies will continue to have an impact on provider performance.

Providers have not met ambitious cost improvement targets and it is critical that these plans are recovered before year-end

Providers set out plans to deliver a total of £3.7 billion savings this financial year. The sector has outperformed the wider economy by delivering an implied 1.8% productivity improvement. This was supported by cost improvements of 3.3% – equivalent to £2,139 million of improvements in the first nine months of the year, £97 million higher than the same period in 2016/17.

Despite the level of efficiency and cost improvement achieved by providers, there was a shortfall of £329 million against the ambitious level of cost improvements planned to date. Some of the under-performance can be attributed to operational issues (for example, a lack of bed capacity to support theatre productivity CIPs), but there is also wide variation across the sector on efficiency. To achieve the current forecast saving outturn of £3.3 billion, providers must identify a further £86 million of schemes in the remainder of the year.

By Q3 the sector had achieved 65% of the forecast efficiency savings for the year – to meet the forecast outturn, providers will need to significantly step up the delivery of CIPs in the final quarter. However, the same pattern was seen in 2016/17, so there is evidence to support the increased delivery in the final quarter.

Risks to delivery

Looking ahead, the provider sector is planning for a deficit of £931 million by the end of 2017/18, which is £435 million worse than planned. However, the ambitious financial plans which providers set at the start of the year depend on assumptions around risk management including winter costs, agreed activity levels and beds being freed up.

The majority of providers have stretching plans to achieve demanding financial control totals. For 2017/18, 211 out of 234 (90%) providers accepted a control total and at Q3 143 are forecasting to be at or above plan by year end. The underperformance of providers which did not achieve their planned year-to-date financial positions was driven by the combination of a shortfall in operating incomes, expenditure on quality improvements and emergency care, and slippage in cost improvement programmes.

Last financial year, the improvement in financial performance in the second half of the year was highly dependent on non-recurrent items which do not address the longer term financial sustainability of many providers. This year there are fewer non-recurrent solutions available, which means that 2017/18 has been another financially challenging year. In addition, the cost improvement programmes are ‘back-loaded’ to the latter part of 2017/18 and this introduces a higher risk to delivery.

Provider boards must maintain close oversight and grip of finances during the next three months and focus on recovery back to plan. Our regional teams are working with providers to manage delivery risks and maximise productivity and other opportunities. We continue to provide intensive support to those trusts in the greatest financial difficulties through our Special Measures programme and the Financial Improvement Programme.

1.2 Accident and emergency


Percentage of A&E all type patients seen within 4 hours

Number of trusts failing the 4 hour A&E target by month

• During the quarter, there were c.5.58 million attendances at NHS A&E

departments, an increase of 4.7% (like-for-like) compared to the same period

last year.

• Last year, A&E departments were under significant operational pressures due to

record-level of patients requiring emergency admissions. This quarter, the

number of patients attending a major (type 1) A&E department and requiring

admitted care reached c.1.13 million, which was an increase of 5.4% when

compared to the same quarter last year.

• Bed capacity constraints due to high occupancy rates and delayed transfers of

care have continued to impact on patient flow, in line with increases in

attendances and admissions. Improvements have been seen in Q3 2017,

162,942 patients waited more than four hours for a bed, 0.4% less than a year

ago. There were also 303,229 bed days lost due to delayed transfers of care in

acute hospitals in Q3 2017/18, a decrease of 22.2% (86,651 delayed days) from

the same period a year ago.

• Recognising the challenges, NHS Improvement and NHS England agreed at the

end of the last financial year to create a joint Urgent and Emergency Care (UEC)

Programme under a single National Director. The programme has brought

together all UEC work across the organisations and wider system into a coherent

strategy to drive UEC transformation and A&E performance improvement. At a

regional level, NHS Improvement and NHS England Regional Directors have

now taken accountability on behalf of both organisations for delivery in local

systems, performance managing and supporting changes and improvement.

• Improving UEC performance is a key focus for 2018/19 and expected standards

have been set out in the Joint Planning Guidance. This includes A&E 4 hour

performance being managed to 90% before returning to 95% over the longer

term, an increased focus on ambulance to hospital handover delays and more

focus on ambulance performance – with a central transformation team in NHS

England and the NHS Improvement / NHS England regional teams taking on a

business as usual role for ambulance performance. In terms of the hospitals

programme, patient flow remains key and initiatives are being undertaken around

frailty, ambulatory emergency care, workforce and the continued roll out of the

emergency care dataset, all of which will support a return to the 95% 4 hour A&E

target.

• In quarter three, NHS England reported an overall A&E

performance of 87.99% which included performance of

Independent Sector Organisations. Performance of NHS

providers showed a small improvement from the 86.75% in Q3

2016/17 to 86.98 % in Q3 2017/18.

12 |

1.3 Diagnostic waiting times


Percentage of diagnostic patients waiting over 6 weeks

Diagnostic performance by procedures – December 2017

• Diagnostic waiting times are a key part in the delivery of the referral to

treatment (RTT) target as the majority of patients being referred for

hospital treatment will require a diagnostic test. The national waiting

time target for diagnostics states that less than 1% of patients should

wait six weeks or more for a test.

• At the end of December 2017, nationally, 877,852 patients were

waiting for a diagnostic test, an increase of 0.3% from the last month.

Compared to the same time last year, the waiting list has increased by

4.3% (like-for-like). This also resulted in more patients waiting longer

than six weeks. Performance of 2.27% at the end of December 2017

(NHS England performance was 2.18%) was a deterioration in

performance compared to 1.70% for the same period last year and a

deterioration on November’s performance of 1.81%.

• Providers in aggregate failed to achieve the waiting time standard for

14 of the 15 key diagnostic tests, three more than the same period last

year.

• The overall diagnostics performance has been driven by an increase in

waiting times for endoscopy tests which contribute to just over 12% of

the diagnostics waiting list. In December 2017, 6.05% of patients were

waiting over six weeks for an endoscopy test compared to 5.52% a

year ago. In an effort to increase capacity, NHS Improvement is

working with Health Education England to launch the next stage of its

programme to train 200 additional Non-Medical Endoscopists by 2018.

• Non-obstetric ultrasound was one of the best performing tests despite

having the largest waiting list (34.6% of the total diagnostics waiting

list), with 1.01% of patients waiting over six weeks at the end of the

quarter. Urodynamics saw the largest percentage of patients waiting

over six weeks, although relatively small numbers, 10.57% were

reported as waiting beyond the standard in December 2017.

13 |

1.4 Elective waiting times


RTT 18 week performance and size of waiting list by month

Number of trusts failing RTT 18 week incomplete target by month

• NHS providers continue to fail to achieve the national RTT incomplete

standard target of 92%. Performance at the end of the month was

88.01% (NHS England performance was 88.17%) which represents a

drop of 1.4% compared to the same period last year.

• Sustained high demand for emergency inpatient care this year has

resulted in many providers struggling to deliver their planned activity

due to elective capacity either being displaced or cancelled. In addition

the cyber attack had an impact, also further reducing the elective activity

completed. The national elective waiting list remained at almost record

levels, at the end of December 2017 it was 3.77 million, a 1% increase

compared to a year ago (like-for-like and excluding providers which

have recommenced reporting this year). Six providers did not report

incomplete RTT performance in December 2017. When adding the

missing trusts data onto the waiting list, the total waiting list was around

4.0 million nationally.

• In line with the drop in performance and the increase in the overall

waiting list, the number of patients waiting longer than 52 weeks for

treatment also increased. In December 2017, 1,688 patients (1,750 at

NHS England aggregate) were waiting over a year for treatment

compared to 1,229 in December 2016, and more than the 1,374 waiting

in November 2017.

• The Intensive Support Team is continuing to support the most

challenged providers to improve performance by better aligning demand

and capacity. We are also supporting a national programme to improve

outpatient performance through agreeing pilot sites to use software to

improve patient flow and using digital channels to reduce demand and

improve access to services.

14 |

1.5 Cancer waiting times


62-day (urgent GP referral) wait for first treatment by month

62-day (urgent GP referral) wait for first treatment by specialty –

quarter 3 2017/18

• All the cancer waiting-time standards were achieved in quarter 3

2017/18 except for 62 day (urgent GP referral) waiting time target for

first treatment. The 62 day (urgent GP referral) has not been

delivered since Q3 2013/14.

• In response to increasing demand, more patients began treatment

this year. 37,153 patients began cancer treatment in Q3 2017/18,

2.3% more than in the same quarter last year.

• NHS providers failed to achieve the national target of 85% for 62 day

(urgent GP referral) with a performance of 82.91% in Q3 2017/18

(NHS England performance was also 83.00%). This was an 0.7%

improvement on performance achieved in the same quarter last year

(82.20%).

• During December 2017 performance was at 84.1% for 62 day (urgent

GP referral). This was an improvement from the same month last

year, which was 83.0%.

• The specialties that contributed most to the underperformance in Q3

2017/18 were Urological (excluding testicular), Lower Gastrointestinal

and Lung. These specialties accounted for only 40.6% of activity, but

contributed to more than half of the reported breaches (55.2%).

• NHS Improvement has worked with partner organisations to improve

cancer performance by reducing diagnostic delays. We are also

continuing to work with NHS England to introduce the 28 days faster

diagnosis standard for cancer patients. The standard is now being

piloted at test sites in preparation for national roll-out.

15 |

1.6 Ambulance response times


• The historic national standard of Red 1, Red 2 and 19 minutes

response-time targets have now ceased.

• In July 2017, NHS England announced a new set of performance

targets for the ambulance service which will apply to all 999 calls

for the first time. These new standards are aimed at removing

‘hidden’ and long waits, including reducing lengthy waits for the

frail and elderly, and freeing up more vehicles and staff to

respond to emergencies.

• The change to the dispatch model gives staff slightly more time to

identify patients’ needs and allow quicker identification of urgent

conditions. The new target response times cover every single

patient, not just those in immediate need. For the most urgent

patients there is the collection of mean response time in addition

to the 90th percentile, so every response is counted. The change

of the rules around what ‘stops the clock’, ensures that targets

can only be met by doing the right thing for the patient.

• The new standards are currently reported by ten of the

ambulance trusts. The only trust not yet recording the new

standards is Isle of Wight who plan to start reporting in spring

2018.

• Once a call has been triaged the category (Category 1 - 4) is

determined. For Category 1 calls (the most seriously ill patients,

those in a cardiac arrest or a state of peri-arrest), has the shortest

mean time and 90th centile expectation for arrival on scene. For

categories 2, 3 and 4, the intent is to ensure that patients in these

categories who require transportation receive a conveying

resource in a timeframe appropriate to their clinical needs.

• The reporting trusts have been collated to create the aggregated

national table:

National aggregate Category C1 to C4 response times – December 2017

1. Centiles (including medians) for England in this table are a mean of trusts'

centiles, weighted by their count of calls/incidents.

• December 2017 saw Category 1 90th centile was outside of the

standard of 15 minutes, at 15:25. This was a rise from November

2017, which was 13:48. The mean response time was 8:52 minutes

compared to the seven minute target. This was also not achieved in

the previous month, recording the mean at 7:57.

• The Category 2 mean and 90th centile standards were both not

achieved during December. Both Category 3 and 4 saw the 90th centile

expectation not met during December 2017.

1.7 Infection control

• The number of E.coli cases reported in quarter 3 2017 was 10,255

compared to 10,137 in the corresponding quarter last year. This was an

increase of 1.2%. There was also a 2.0% (624 cases) increase reported

year to date compared to the same period last year.

• The Secretary of State’s ambition is to reduce ‘healthcare associated’

Gram-negative bloodstream infections by 50% by March 2021. During

2017/18 there is a quality premium target for CCGs to reduce Escherichia

coli (E.coli) (the most prevalent Gram-negative bloodstream infection) by

10% – providers will have a contribution to this target as some cases will

have had interventions or treatments.

• We have written to the acute NHS providers and mandated the data

collection of Pseudomonas aeruginosa and Klebsiella species blood

stream infections, in addition to E.coli (this is back dated to April 2017).

All trusts are now submitting this data. The voluntary risk factor data is

added to the Public Health England (PHE) data capture system (DCS)

and will also collect the relevant data to assess/assign if these infections

are healthcare associated.

• E.coli cases have followed the 2016/17 trend during months one to eight

of 2017/18. Previous years have seen a 6-8% year on year increase.

Now, for the first time in five years we have seen the increase reduce to

2%, and the seasonal pattern continues. This year, the 10% ambition will

not be achieved, as the majority of improvement initiatives will not deliver

a full year effect. In 2018/19, NHS Improvement will work with PHE to

review all interventions to assess which have the greatest impact.

Number of Meticillin-resistant Staphylococcus Aureus (MRSA) cases

reported

Number of Clostridium Difficile cases

• The number of trust apportioned C. Diff cases reported in quarter 3

2017 was 1,150 compared to 1,180 in the corresponding quarter last

year. This was a decrease of 2.5%. Year to date, there have been

3,554 C. Diff cases reported, a decrease of 0.5% (18 cases) from the

same period last year.

Number of E.coli cases reported

• 71 trust assigned MRSA cases were reported in quarter 3 2017

which is 5.3% lower than the 75 cases reported in quarter 3 2016.

Year to date, there have been 228 MRSA cases reported, an

increase of 6.0% (13 cases) from the same period last year.



1.8 Winter resilience preparations 2017/18 Overview

Our plan for winter, which is more detailed and intensive than in previous years, has been built around three key pillars. These are:

• targeted support to our most pressurised systems through bespoke management plans and focused improvement support

• operational management through structures of continuous monitoring and supporting intervention drawing on a range of live data sources

• contingency planning to manage expected peaks in demand

Historically A&E performance has declined significantly year on year, and this year it seems that the decline has halted. Year to date performance

is 89.5%. This remains on par with year to date performance last year (89.6%).

Performance for December was 85.1%, driven by high occupancy and an increase in demand pressures from flu and respiratory conditions.

During the winter period:

• Record call volumes were managed through NHS 111

(470,000 more calls offered in December 2017 than the

previous month and 13.5% more calls offered per day than the

same month last year).

• We saw the highest ever proportion of NHS 111 calls with

clinical input (39.4% in December 2017).

• New ambulance response standards have been implemented

across all ambulance trusts in mainland England.

• Since February 2017 we have released over 1,400 beds

through reduced delays to patient discharge.

Key actions:

• Winter operating function in place 7 days a week with 24 hour on-call cover to support regional and local teams with managed response to

surge.

• Monitoring implementation of actions to release capacity in the system including winter budget monies and the National Emergency

Pressures Panel recommendations on planned elective postponement.

• Standing up flu preparedness response joint working with all system partners.

2.1 Financial performance overview

1. Surplus/(deficit) control total basis are calculated as surplus/(deficit) before AME impairments, transfers, donated asset income, and donated asset depreciation for all trusts.

2. The sector reported adjusted financial position surplus/(deficit) includes DEL Impairments, prior period adjustments, donated asset income and donated asset depreciation as

these items have been excluded from the control total. An adjustment is needed to add the figures back to provide the reported sector surplus/(deficit).

2.2 Income & expenditure


• At Q3 the provider sector reported a year-to-date deficit of £1,281 million

against a plan of £916 million deficit, giving an adverse variance of £365

million over plan. This is a deterioration in the actual year-to-date

variance since Q2 of £222 million. This adverse variance is attributable

to a combination of factors including overspends on both employee costs

and non-pay costs of £701 million and £292 million respectively and a

£112 million shortfall on other income offset by a positive £366 million

variance on patient care income.

• The net overspending is almost wholly attributable to the acute sector and

reflects the significant operational pressures in this sector. The variances

for other sectors were less material to the overall position. The figures

include the impact of the continued pressure of high levels of non elective

activity and the start of the winter period and the cost pressures

associated with this. The government has made available £337 million of

additional funding to support winter and the provider sector is in receipt of

70% of the available funding. This funding has been included in provider

year to date and forecast positions reported at Q3.

• The key year to date themes reported by providers include material

negative variances against plan for: delays in, or failure to achieve

efficiency savings (£224 million); non elective volume changes and

pressures relating to workforce including agency and contract staffing

(£300 million) and inflationary pressures. The loss of elective income

remains a factor for the sector.

• 109 providers reported an adverse year-to-date variance to plan at Q3,

continuing the upward trend previously identified (87 at Q2 and 67 at Q1).

This included 20 trusts who reported adverse variances excluding STF of

more than £10 million amounting to 88% of the £428 million variance (29

trusts if STF is included). Trusts are forecasting that the position will

improve by the financial year end with 91 trusts forecasting to be

overspent against plan. Of these, 27 are forecasting to be overspent by

more than £10 million excluding STF (40 trusts if STF is included).

• The reported sector financial position also included £601 million of

uncommitted Sustainability and Transformation Fund (STF). Based on

year-to-date performance, trusts have included £569 million of STF in the

reported year-to-date position.

2.3 Income analysis


• At Q3 the sector has recovered £254 million of income above plan levels,

significantly up on the £3 million reported at Q2. Patient care income was

£366 million better than plan but the sector under-recovered on non patient

care by £112 million.

• The sector recovered significantly more non-elective income than planned

(£266 million or 2.6%) and high cost drugs income (£204 million or 6.5%).

This over recovery was offset by a material under recovery of elective income

(£174 million or 2.5%) and follow up outpatient income (£107 million or 3.3%).

This confirms the continued operational pressure in urgent and emergency

care and its overall detrimental impact on the financial position. Non-elective

activity is paid for at a marginal rate and has displaced planned elective work

and also resulted in lost productivity. As such, profit making elective and

outpatient income has been crowded out by loss making non-elective income

and zero margin pass through drug costs. The consequent reduction in

income also has a serious knock on effect where it results in trusts failing to

achieve their plan and consequently losing access to STF funding.

• Other variances included a large over recovery (of £140 million) for community

services and largely offsetting variances for other NHS clinical services (acute)

and other (non acute). For other income, there were material over recoveries

on education and training (£76 million), non-patient care services (£212

million) and an under-recovery on STF (£310 million).

• Trusts are forecasting to further improve the position by the financial year end

and are reporting an over recovery against planned income levels of £575

million. This is made up of forecast positive variances of £2 million on non-

patient care and £573 million on patient care. Of this the majority is non

elective (£262 million) and high cost drugs income (£303 million).

• The National Emergency Pressures Panel made a series of recommendations

on 20 December that included providers deferring non-urgent inpatient elective

care until January. The recommendation subsequently extended to the end of

February and to include outpatient and day case where this would

appropriately release clinical time for non-elective care. The income forecast

to be received by acute trusts from NHS England and CCGs reduced by £20

million from that reported at month 8, and this is despite £238 million of extra

winter funding. It is not clear how much of this reduction is due to January

cancellations or if forecast income levels will drop further in month 10 when

providers have a clearer picture of the full extent of elective cancellations and

actual non elective activity volumes.

2.4 Employee expenses – pay costs • NHS trusts employ 1.1 million WTE (whole time equivalent) staff. The pay bill is

the single biggest area of expenditure and the NHS has made management of

the pay bill and recruitment to fill key staff vacancies a key priority.

• Total pay costs for the first nine months of the year were £701 million worse

than plan. Most of this was driven by adverse variances of £460 million (4.9%)

on medical staff and £201 million (1.3%) on nursing staff. The bulk of the

overspending took place in the acute sector which overspent by £618 million, up

from £245 million at Q2, reflecting the continued operational pressure in the

acute sector. A significant overspend of £88 million was also reported in the

mental health sector. All regions are reporting overspends on staff costs at

month Q3 with Midlands & East (£238 million) and North (£256 million) being

the highest.

• Trusts forecast the year end outturn to be £51.8 billion representing an

overspend against plan of £1.0 billion and a deterioration since Q2 of £576

million. Forecast pay expenditure is 2.4% higher than in 2016/17, which taking

into account the pay inflation assumed in tariff of 2.1%, represents only a 0.3%

real terms growth.

• The overspending against pay budgets has shown up in the use of bank staff

which was £664 million above plan at Q3. This reflects the increasing use of

bank staff by trusts to manage workload in the face of increased demands, high

levels of vacancies, sickness/absence and staff turnover. The increase in the

use of bank staff has also been impacted by missed CIP targets on pay and by

volume shifts between agency and bank, both of which were not factored into

trust plans. This trend is set to continue to the year end with a bank spend

forecast of £2,841 million, giving an adverse variance of £843 million.

• Offsetting the increase in bank, the Q3 figures show a continued reduction in the

reliance on agency staff and a £108 million (or 5.7%) positive variance against

plan is reported, which has partly been caused by moving agency workers and

shifts into bank and substantive roles. Trusts are forecasting that agency

expenditure will underspend by £137 million for the year and will be within the

agency ceiling of £2.5 billion.

• Despite the significant increase in bank spend, the overall temporary staff (bank

and agency) costs showed a decrease of £110 million or 2.7% on the same

period in 2016/17.

2.5 NHS provider vacancies

**The information above represents management information only

and not an official statistic

• There are currently 1.1 million WTE (whole time equivalent) staff

employed by NHS trusts in England with an additional circa 100,000

vacancies. Management of this vacancy position via recruitment of

substantive staff and effective use of temporary staffing (bank and

agency) is a key priority for NHS Improvement.

• NHS Improvement aims to publish provider vacancy rates at an

aggregate national, regional and sector position to ensure that NHS

Improvement’s Board is sighted to the full extent on provider workforce

risks and challenges.

• The vacancy reduction observed since Q2 is an outcome of expected

substantive recruitment from month 6. There has also been a notable

reduction in agency staffing over to bank with the ambition to see this

consequently move to a more sustainable substantive staffing model in

the future.

• There is significant regional and sector vacancy variation with the

London region and the mental health sector having the highest numbers

proportionately.

• Nursing: NHS trusts employ over 313,000 WTE registered nursing staff.

In addition to this substantive workforce, there are over 35,000 WTE

vacancies of which approximately 90-95% is currently being filled by a

combination of bank (65%) and agency staff (35%).

• Medical: NHS trusts employ over 112,000 WTE medical staff. In addition

to this substantive workforce, there are over 9,500 WTE vacancies of

which approximately 95% is currently being filled by a combination of

bank (35%) and agency (locum) staff (65%).

2.6 Agency ceiling performance


• NHS Improvement has established agency ceilings for all trusts.

This work commenced in 2015/16 for nursing staff and has now

been expanded to all staff groups.

• Agency costs have continued to decrease significantly following the

initiatives undertaken by NHS Improvement and action taken by

providers over the last two years.

• At Q3, the positive variance was £108 million representing a 5.7%

underspend against the planned ceiling and is £441 million or 20%

lower than the comparable period last year.

• As a proportion of total payroll costs the downward trend has

continued. By Q3 the cumulative YTD position was 4.6% and the

position by individual month had fallen to 4.2% for month 9. This is a

considerable reduction on the 7.2% reported in April 2015 at the start

of the NHS Improvement initiatives.

• A risk adjusted most likely forecast outturn based upon previous

years performance indicates a final year figure of up to £2.4 billion.

This is slightly less optimistic than the £2.36 billion forecast by

providers but is well below the overall ceiling of £2.5 billion. The risk

adjusted bank spend is forecast to be around £2.90 billion, again

higher than the reported position of £2.84 billion.

• Agency costs have decreased considerably in all staff categories

when compared to the levels last year. The largest fall is in other

staff which has fallen by 30.4%. This is driven by a significant fall in

the administrative and estates staff group amounting to 41.7%.

There have also been significant reductions in nursing staff and

medical and dental staff, which fell by 22.0% and 10.2%

respectively.

• By controlling the level of agency spending, the changes brought in

over the last two years have facilitated a greater level of workforce

planning and improved the value for money achieved in this area of

significant spend.

2.7 Non-pay cost pressures


• The overspend against plan on non pay expenditure has moved from the

£70 million (0.5%) reported at Q2, to £292 million (1.3%) at Q3. The largest

area of overspending is on the purchase of healthcare from other providers

which rose to £208 million at Q3. Of this, £144 million was for purchases of

healthcare from non NHS bodies indicating that capacity constraints

continue to be an issue. There was also material overspending on clinical

supplies and services of £199 million and consultancy costs of £67 million

offset by underspending on general supplies and services of £185 million

and other non operating items of £69 million. The increase in non pay

costs continues to be driven by operational pressures particularly non

elective activity and as a result of winter pressures, trusts have also cited

inflationary cost increases as a contributory factor.

• Trusts are forecasting that the year end position will deteriorate further to

an overall overspend against plan of £417 million. Despite the

overspending noted, the forecast non pay expenditure is only 1% higher

than the levels seen in 2016/17, which in view of the inflationary pressures

evident during 2017/18, represents a significant achievement against a

challenging plan.

• Since the introduction of control totals and the STF there has been a

significant reduction in national sanctions against trusts. The level of net

sanctions reduced to £99 million in 2016/17 and trusts are forecasting that

they will continue to fall to £56 million in 2017/18.

• At Q3, trusts had spent £120 million on weighting list initiatives (WLI) and

£164 million on outsourcing. The full year forecasts of £167 million and

£218 million respectively represent a total expenditure reduction of £204

million when compared to the previous year.

• Earlier this year, the government allocated £1 billion extra funding to social

care. A proportion of this additional funding was to be used to reduce the

volume of delayed transfers of care and help free up hospital beds.

However, providers in aggregate do not expect that the annual costs

associated with blocked capacity will fall significantly this year and year-to-

date costs were only slightly less (£5 million) when compared to the same

period last year. However, activity recorded over the last three months

suggests that some progress is now being made in this area. This is vitally

important as the delivery of financial plans depends on achieving a number

of key assumptions around risk management, agreed activity levels and the

availability of beds.

2.8 Efficiency savings


• For the nine month period to Q3, trusts have delivered efficiency savings through

cost improvement programmes (CIPs) that have reduced total operating costs by

£2.14 billion (or 3.3%). Although significant, the efficiencies achieved continue to

be behind plan, by £329 million (13%).

• The largest under-delivery continues to be pay cost savings which was £313

million (or 27%) behind plan. Trusts are forecasting that by the year end, the

adverse variance on pay CIPs will rise to £428 million. The shortfall of pay CIPs is

a key contributor to the overspend on the pay costs budget. The overall shortfall

on non-pay savings was £73 million (or 8%) offset by a surplus on income

generation schemes of £57 million (or 17%).

• The Q3 data confirms a continuation of the trend identified in Q1 and Q2 whereby

under-performance against recurrent CIPs is being partly compensated by a

significant increase in non-recurrent CIPs. Trusts had planned to deliver £2,271

million (or 92%) of their year-to-date efficiencies through recurrent schemes. At

Q3, only £1,593 million (or 74%) of the identified savings were from recurrent

sources. By contrast savings from non-recurrent schemes has risen from £197

million (or 8%) at plan to £546 million (or 26%) at Q3.

• The specific efficiency savings linked to Lord Carter’s productivity themes in

workforce productivity, resource optimisation and benchmarking (Model Hospital)

are estimated to be £974 million. The year end forecast confirms that efficiencies

linked to these productivity themes will account for £1.5 billion (or 45%) of the

overall savings.

• Providers set out plans to deliver a total of £3.7 billion savings this financial year.

The current forecast suggests that providers may fall short of this target by £392

million. To achieve the current forecast saving outturn of £3.3 billion, providers

need to identify detailed schemes for a further £86 million in the remainder of the

year. By Q3 the sector had achieved 65% of the forecast efficiency savings for

the year. In order to meet the forecast outturn, trusts will need to significantly step

up the delivery of CIPs in the final quarter. At the same stage in 2016/17, trusts

had achieved the same proportion (65%) so there is evidence to support the

increased delivery in the final quarter.

• Despite the adverse variances to plan reported, the sector has achieved £97

million (or 4.7%) more year to date than in the same period last year. NHS

Improvement continues to work with providers to maximise this benefit, through

the provision of national and technical forums designed to share best practice.

2.9 Early view of implied provider productivity

• By reviewing the change in provider costs, adjusted for estimated

unavoidable inflationary pressures and then comparing these cost

changes to the change in provider outputs, it is possible to calculate

an early view of the implied productivity of the provider sector.

• The implied productivity for the nine month period ending 31

December 2017 was 1.8%. Despite the financial pressures

experienced by the provider sector, underlying productivity appears

to be similar to the levels delivered in the 2016/17 financial year and

continues to out-perform the wider economy.

• The productivity improvement appears to be driven by significant

efficiencies in non pay spend with pay productivity improvements

being more modest.

• Cost improvement programmes (CIPS) are the method we use to

monitor the plans that providers have to contain costs. The level of

cost improvement programmes undertaken by providers are greater

than the underlying productivity improvement. This is because a

number of initiatives undertaken by providers to contain costs are one

offs, for example profits from the sale of surplus land. These savings

need to be made again the following year so would appear as a

required cost improvement but wouldn’t appear as an underlying

change in productivity. In addition, many providers are funding

investments in quality improvement through efficiencies – these

quality improvements are not measured through cost weighted

activity.

• The trend in delivered cost improvements matches the implied

productivity changes with non pay cost savings being proportionately

higher than pay savings.

• Provider plans included Capital Departmental Expenditure Limit

(CDEL) expenditure of £4.334 billion in 2017/18.

• The initial Department of Health CDEL budget for 2017/18 of £2.9

billion has increased to £3.273 billion as a result of the autumn

budget statement which announced additional funding.

• The forecast CDEL expenditure at month 9 is £3.376 billion, an

underspend against plan of £958 million but an overspend against

the revised Department of Health budget of £0.1 billion.

• At 31 December 2017 providers had spent £1.803 billion on

capital schemes, which was £1.224 billion below plan. The year-

to-date spend represents 53% of providers own forecasts at this

stage of the year.

• Providers were asked to review their capital forecasts at month 9.

As a result the CDEL forecast at month 9 reduced by £376 million

from the month 8 forecast level.

• Letters were sent to trusts who were reporting significant capital

spend in quarter 4 and all trusts have been asked to provide an

accurate update to their CDEL forecast position in month 10.

• NHS Improvement will continue to work with providers ahead of

the month 10 submission to refine their forecasts.

• NHS foundation trusts are forecasting CDEL expenditure of

£2.237 billion (or 66% of the total forecast). NHS trusts are

forecasting £1.139 billion (representing 34% of the total sector

forecast).

2.11 Year-end financial position


• Building on last year’s delivery, NHS Improvement continues to support trusts to

further improve productivity and reinforce the tighter financial controls

introduced last year. We have introduced a new set of trust control totals, setting

out the minimum level of improvement expected in financial positions for 2017/18,

and linked (as last year) to the renewed £1.8 billion STF. This has been combined

with setting very challenging financial plans for 2017/18 which have particularly

focused on the control of costs and the improvement of productivity.

• At Q3, a total of 211 out of 234 providers (90% of the total) had accepted their

individual control totals. We are also working with NHS England and shadow

integrated care systems to develop system financial controls that will develop a

collective approach to managing financial risk across all the NHS commissioners

and providers in a local health economy.

• The board approved trust plans submitted to NHS Improvement confirmed a total

sector planned deficit of £496 million for 2017/18 with the support of £1.8 billion

STF. At Q3, providers forecast to end the year with an aggregate deficit of £931

million, £435 million worse than planned. This is a deterioration of £308 million on

the position reported at Q2.

• In November 2017, the government made available £337 million of additional

funding to support winter. The provider sector has received 70% of the available

winter funds and this has been included in the forecast positions reported at Q3.

Despite this extra income the forecast income position has not increased by this

value. This is likely to be due to trusts suspending non urgent elective procedures

in January in order to free up beds and clinical time to support non elective care

over winter.

• Our regional teams continue to provide direct support to all providers in an effort to

identify and deliver any upside opportunities and mitigate any downside risks, to

ensure that the plans stay on track. In addition, eleven of the most financially

challenged trusts will continue to receive intensive support through the Special

Measures programme. This includes one, King’s College Hospital NHS Foundation

Trust that was brought in during the quarter. Since Special Measures was

introduced, three trusts have demonstrated significant financial improvement and

exited the regime. Furthermore, a number of trusts have received targeted support

through the Financial Improvement Programme which is now in its second wave.
