Questions from Michael Vidal, Hackney resident: asked in absentia.
Q1. It is my understanding that all Orthopaedic Procedures have been centralised at the Olympic Park in Newham. If that is correct, can you please confirm: (i) The date the decision to do this was made. (ii) As this was a commissioning decision, can you please confirm how the duties under s.14Z2 of the National Health Service Act 2006 (as amended) were complied with in particular the duty to involve patients and the public in the developing of the proposals.
Answer: The Barts Health Orthopaedic Centre at Newham Hospital has recently opened additional capacity to support reductions in waiting times for elective surgery. It is not the case that all orthopaedic surgery within Barts is now performed at NGH – services continue at both Whipps Cross and the Royal London Hospitals and the Trust’s clinicians work with patients at time of referral to agree the best location given the treatment required and the patient’s preference.
Q2. In relation to: a) Pathway redesignb) Service redesignc) As far as not covered by a or b proposals from a Clinical Reference Group.
Can you state the process that is used to develop proposals in particular how patients and the public are involved as required by s.14Z2 of the National Health Service Act 2006 (as amended)?
Answer: The NEL CCGs follow appropriate policies where public engagement and consultation are required. Any proposals for service redesign will be considered depending on their scale and impact and discussed with providers and other stakeholders.
Question from Mary Logan, Waltham Forest Save Our NHS: The executive summary for the STP Performance report states that the NEL STP is non-compliant with standards for diagnostics, with further deterioration from previous months.
If diagnostics are not available in the medically required timescale, and easily accessible, cancers will continue to be diagnosed late, and there will continue to be poor survival rates. I note there is an Early Diagnostic Centre for N. E London based at Mile End Hospital, as well as the previously existing local diagnostics in the NEL area.

Research on patients presenting late with cancer shows a strong correlation with distance to travel. The moving of GPs into larger hubs and away from being dotted around residential areas means some people will already be putting off going to the GP.
I realise some GP hubs are to have some diagnostics, which should benefit the patients attending there. However, others will be deterred from making the longer journey to the GP until later in the disease process. How is the impact of these changes to be monitored, and where can the public find this and other evidence re the impact of the STP changes?
Answer: The latest position on diagnostics performance has improved from the time of writing the report with performance at BHRUT improving on account of additional capacity for the provision of MRIs in particular. The North East London STP has been compliant with delivery of all cancer performance standards consistently during 2018/19.
NEL STP remains focussed on driving delivery of the diagnostic standard and also on the early diagnosis of cancer by staging cancers earlier, amongst other initiatives, which has also seen significant improvement across North East London since quarter 1 of 2017.
When approving practices to relocate to a new site, as a general rule it wouldn’t be expected to be more than 1 – 1.5 miles from their previous site. However, this is fairly flexible and would depend on analysis of a number of factors such as distribution of the patient list by reviewing a scatter map, the proximity of other local practices and accessibility and transport links. The impact on travel time is normally limited.
Co-locating GPs together in hubs will increase access to a range of services and expertise as there are many that cannot be provided in multiple sites or in smaller practices (because of space constraints). Co-locating GPs means some services may be provided alongside more easily. There is no evidence that we are aware of to support the concern that GPs moving to hubs reduces the likelihood of patients attending their GP.
In discussion on this question, it was agreed that there is a need to ensure the unintended consequences are monitored. Early diagnosis metrics are tracked and discussed at CCG and Health and Wellbeing Boards, as well as a number of other forums, and a more detailed report on this can be provided in due course.
Question from Meenakshi Sharma: Where are the Equalities Impact Assessments for the Commissioning Strategy 2018/19 - 2021/22 in light of the unwarranted variation across NEL both in terms of resource allocation and health outcomes?
Answer: EIAs were not carried out at the level of the Commissioning Strategy. An EIA is carried out for each individual service change through the business case approval process.
Meenakshi Sharma then raised her concerns that, in the move to commissioning at the NEL level, inequalities at borough level were not being monitored. Jane Milligan assured Meenakshi, and the Committee, that, in the joint approach to commissioning with the Local Authorities, this is regularly looked at a local level.
Question from Andy Walker: On midday on 3rd May Save KGH/Don't overload campaigners went to 10 Downing Street to seek a public consultation on the new plan to close KGH A&E, can this Committee support this call?

An alliance of North East London Clinical Commissioning Groups City and Hackney, Newham, Tower Hamlets, Waltham Forest, Barking and Dagenham, Havering and Redbridge CCGs
Answer: This question has been asked, and answered, in various other forums and received a consistent answer. The document is superseded by the statement by Jane Milligan at the BHR CCGs Joint Committee in January 2019 and by the open letter from the Local Authority, BHR CCGs and the Trust in April 2019. Both of statements were clear that the KGH A&E will remain open. We are not prepared to entertain further questions on a matter that has been fully answered.
3.1 Early Diagnosis Centre: update on patient engagement Simon Hall presented on the patient engagement work around the Early Diagnostic Centre, which is due to be opened at Mile End Hospital by the end of 2019. Discussion points included:
i. the robust patient and public engagement that has been carried out throughout this project,and the importance of this to ensure its success
ii. the need to monitor the uptake, as well as patient travel timesiii. the importance of endorsing and supporting this centre to ensure the expected positive
outcomes are realised, such as improvement on the two week wait standardiv. with positive outcomes achieved, there is potential for more centres to be rolled out across
NELv. the potential for innovative workforce modelling, such as training nurse practitioners in
diagnostic proceduresvi. the discovery programme’s work around using AI technology to identify patients at risk, to be
sent straight to test.
4.1 STP refresh Simon Hall updated the Committee on the STP refresh, outlining that the operating plan is being developed in line with the Long Term Plan via a ‘bottom up’ coproduction approach, guided by input from patients and the public, clinicians, providers and local systems. The plans will need to align with the NHS England guidance which is expected soon.
In addition to the various local engagement events, Simon Hall highlighted the upcoming engagement event planned for June, which will bring together the stakeholders, clinical programmes and systems across the STP area.
4.2 North East London Spending Money Wisely Programme Les Borrett introduced the NEL Spending Money Wisely Programme. Alison Glynn and Matthew Henry joined the meeting for the presentation of this item. Key discussion points included:
i. the proposed consultation time of six weeks, which was recommended based on the patientand public engagement and involvement already undertaken at various forums, includingJoint Overview and Scrutiny Committees and Healthwatch meetings, as well as theconsultation carried out at a national level. This programme is chiefly working to consolidatethe existing policies across NEL, and ensuring clinical best practice and national guidance isreflected
ii. the need to agree the WELC prior approval process and the possibility that there are differentprior approval processes at the WELC and BHR level, operating under an agreed NEL policy.
5.1 Performance report – month 11 Archna Mathur presented on the month 11 performance across the STP area, highlighting that the latest position on diagnostics performance has improved from the time of writing the report, with performance at BHRUT improving due to additional MRI capacity, in particular. NEL has been compliant with delivery of all cancer performance standards consistently during 2018/19. In discussion the Committee noted:
i. the difference in the end of year predicted number of patients waiting over 52 weeks,compared to waiting list size between trusts. This is due to the difference in the ability toforecast the trajectories for certain services, for example Barts have dental capacity issues
11
An alliance of North East London Clinical Commissioning Groups City and Hackney, Newham, Tower Hamlets, Waltham Forest, Barking and Dagenham, Havering and Redbridge CCGs
and therefore can accurately predict the number of patients waiting over 52 weeks for that service
ii. the importance of ensuring joined up Continuing Healthcare services across the system,including more CHC assessments taking place in the community, to achieve better outcomes for patients
iii. the need for robust IT in place to support the ability to track the effect that the urgent carechoices available to patients has on A&E attendance levels
iv. the Tower Hamlets achievement on Personal Health Budgets, and the programme that isnow in place to ensure that learning and best practice is shared across the patch.
6.1 Risk Register Alan Steward presented the NELCA JCC risk register to the Committee, updating on progress made on the risk mitigations as well as highlighting three risks that have been removed from the register: the Winter Plan, Cancer Early Diagnostic Centre and the reputational risk from the perception that the JCC is removing responsibilities from local decision making. Discussion points included:
i. the need to take account of the impact of the Long Term Plan on the risksii. the need to review the mitigations in place for the risks around demand and capacity and the
estates programme transformation plans, given the capital funding bids were not successfuliii. that the mitigations on the risk around specialised commissioning are dependent on further
guidance from NHS England around the Long Term Plan. The team continues to work withNHS England to develop the proposals around the move to place based budgeting.
Anwar Khan noted that this is Alan Steward’s last meeting, and extended his thanks and best wishes for the future on behalf of the Committee.
7.1 Meeting planner: noted.
8 Any other business Les Borrett updated on the consultation for the proposed relocation of Moorfields Eye Hospital. The response from Camden CCG to the feedback from the JCC has been shared with Members, and the Committee in Common across the 14 CCGs formally approved the consultation processes at its meeting on 24 April 2019. The consultation is expected to be launched following the EU election purdah period.
Jane Milligan highlighted the three 2019 BMJ Awards winners from across NEL: Bromley by Bow Health for ‘DIY Health: 0 to 5’, Barts Health NHS Trust for ‘Violence Reduction Trauma Care’ and Barking, Havering and Redbridge University NHS Trust for ‘Stroke Senior Decision Making’.

Current ELHCP Digital roadmap and governance arrangements
This short paper has been prepared in response to a request from the JCC (Action Log ref: JCC – 12), ‘ELCHP digital programme: Share the governance rules on work programmes and road map with members.’
Response: As the Digital Enablement workstream, along with the rest of the Sustainability and Transformation Plan is currently being refreshed in response to the NHS Long Term Plan, this picture is subject to change in the next few months. This is the current, ‘Plan on a page’:

All boroughs have invested at least the minimum allocation over time in their BCF, with some exceeding the baseline. There remain significant pressures on budgets particularly in local authorities which may impact on this as the current BCF system changes.
Risks Key risks are financial pressures and ongoing increases in demand linked to population and acuity. There is a risk the BCF may be seen as a process issue rather than driving integration.

Better Care Fund update
Better Care Fund update
Introduction
The Better Care Fund has become an integral part of the planning process for health and social care. This paper sets out for the CCGs and local authorities in north east London how local systems have implemented the BCF and current plans for 2019/20.
Background
Each CCG and local authority is required to submit an annual Better Care Fund joint plan which sets out how the minimum requirement for investment in pooled budgets will be utilised, including the requirement to protect the targeted funding for social care which forms part of the floor allocation to CCGs. The plans are overseen locally by Health and Wellbeing Boards.
North east London has protected baseline funding in the BCF over its life and expanded its scope when sensible to do so. It has used the funding to support key targets including reablement and reducing DToCs.
The BCF nationally is currently under review and will need to evolve as the NHS plan and the next Spending Review for local authorities roll out. As north east London moves away from current NHS commissioning models and develops Integrated Care Systems the way BCF relates to the broader system will need to change.
Planning guidance for 2019/20 has been delayed but for most boroughs it is likely to be a steady state year as systems embed change, Local HWBBs will need to sign off plans once this guidance is set out.
The BCF operates in the broader strategic context of reductions in core local authority funding, rising demand and acuity, and this has created some tensions in the ability of systems to use the flexibilities available effectively.
The subsequent sections of the report set out how each borough is taking the BCF forward.
Local Context
BHR
Joint working with the local authorities
The BHR Integration and Better Care Fund plan 2017-2019 was developed as a joint plan by the BHR Partnership of Barking & Dagenham CCG, Havering CCG and Redbridge CCG and the London Borough of Barking and Dagenham, London Borough of Havering and London Borough of Redbridge. The joint narrative recognised that there were similar priorities across the three boroughs and efficiency opportunities in pursuing a shared work plan through which joint objectives might be agreed and delivered in one place. It acknowledged the partnership ambition to move beyond just aligning the plans of the three boroughs, to increasing the integration and shared delivery where it made sense to do so, within the principles of subsidiarity.
21
Better Care Fund update
The Better Care Fund Plan is aligned to the BHR system A&E Delivery Board plan to manage demand on urgent and emergency care services and demonstrates the join up for delivery across health and social care. The BCF plans support some elements of demand management and supporting discharge for inpatient care.
A section 75 partnership agreement is in place for the BHR Partnership to support the delivery of the plan with budgets pooled at borough level. The governance arrangements for the overview of the Section 75 were due to transfer from the borough arrangements to the Joint Commissioning Board in 2018/19. This arrangement has slipped over the past year and is being reviewed to ensure effective management.
The CCG allocations were in line with the minimum contribution and reflected existing commitments in contracts that aligned to the BCF schemes.
In relation to risk share arrangements, the individual partners are responsible for overspends on their respective budgets within the BCF. The Partners have committed to consider using underspend/ uncommitted funds within the BCF against key risks against meeting shared BCF targets and to work on initiatives to reduce non-elective admissions in line with reductions set out in the CCG operating Plan.
BCF initiatives
A number of schemes were agreed in the 2017-19 plan to deliver the national conditions of maintaining social care, developing out of hospital services, reducing delayed transfers of care. Cross system and local schemes are summarised below:

Performance against BCF standards
The boroughs achieved their targets for reablement and residential care home placements. Non-elective admissions have remained broadly on plan for BHRUT.
Despite the requirement to meet further stretch DToC targets for well performing areas which has proved challenging, the system has maintained relatively good DTOC performance ranking 61 (B&D), 65 (Redbridge) and 67(Havering) out of 170 boroughs in England.
A programme of work, supported by the High Impact Change Model, is being taken forward through a subcommittee of the BHR A&E Delivery Board - the Discharge Working Improvement Group (DWIG).
The scope of the programme includes:
Early discharge planning – the roll out of Red to Green Ensuring consistent systems in the Trust to monitor patient flow Home First discharge to assess – moving towards a trusted assessor model Increasing CHC assessments out of hospital Enhancing health in care homes – roll out of red bag scheme
Havering and Barking & Dagenham have jointly commissioned a Help Not Hospital service with the British Red Cross (while Redbridge commissions Age UK), to facilitate smooth accompanied transfers’ home from hospital, making links to wider support in the community for those that need it.
In Havering, the council commissioned an Integrated Reablement & Rehabilitation service has delivered faster discharges, with reduced assessment and paperwork, with a higher proportion of patients being discharged within 24 hours of being declared medically fit, often much quicker.
Generally mental health DToCs have been managed well. The London Borough of Barking and Dagenham has made additional investment into mental health services, in part supported by monies
24
Better Care Fund update
provided within the new social care grant, to deliver of independent living beds and floating support services providing a step-down mode which has improved DTOC performance in this borough.
Planning for 2019/20
There is agreement in principle through the Joint Commissioning Board to align the BCF plan to the BHR system transformation plans, predominantly the older people and frailty transformation plan. It is not anticipated that the plan will change significantly in 2019/20 and will be refreshed for 2021/21 to and update the local vision and approach to integration.
CCG and Local Authority commissioning leads are in the process of reviewing the current plan. The London Borough of Redbridge have initiated a piece of work to scope the opportunity for developing the joint commissioning approach for older people across the system.
City and Hackney
Approach taken to BCF
The BCF plans and any related expenditure is signed off by the City and Hackney Integrated Commissioning Board (ICB).
We have a BCF oversight meeting in place between the CCG and the borough. This meets quarterly and has the following role:
Coordinating the process to define the annual priorities Maintain oversight of BCF expenditure Maintain oversight of achievement of targets and BCF deliverables Processes to manage any underspend
However, the detailed work to determine the priorities, support any transformation and manage individual contracts happens within the integrated commissioning care workstreams. The care workstreams include commissioners, providers and public representatives, therefore ensuring a collaborative approach.
Each of the service lines within the BCF are held within either the planned or unplanned care workstream.
We have not invested additional resources into the BCF. However, we have a programme of increasing pooled budgets between the local authorities and the CCG, and a governance structure through which these will be managed (i.e. the ICB), therefore we have mechanisms other than the BCF for pooling budgets.
Key Deliverables in 2017/18 and 2018/19
We have used the BCF to drive further and deeper integration between health and care services. A visit from the National BCF team in summer 2018 recognised the progress that we had made in this both at a system governance level and in front-line services.
We have used the BCF to do the following:
Delivery of an integrated reablement service which bridges the hospital, community and socialcare services. In 2018/19 this team moved to a discharge to assess model
25
Better Care Fund update
Provide the programme resources for our neighbourhoods development – this is non-recurrentfunding to drive a transformational and whole system shift in how we deliver out of hospitalservices to support overall system quality and sustainability
To fund a number of community based specialist services that support specific cohorts, includingasthma, palliative care, cardio-respiratory and community therapies
Falls prevention services Delivery of our urgent response admission avoidance service, Paradoc Carers’ support services
In 18/19 we have seen a reduction in both DToC and excess bed-day spend against the previous year.
We have also seen a significant improvement in the percentage of patients receiving a CHC assessment in their usual place of residence
Key Deliverables for 2019/20
Broadly, our objectives have remained consistent with previous years, however, we have committed BCF resources to the following two programmes in 19/20:
Fit for health Stroke rehabilitation Funding to support Enhanced Health in Care homes – this supplements and strengthens existing
primary care contracts.
Risks
As a system, we have identified the following risks:
Lack of a long term funding solution for social care, in the context of ongoing local authorityfinancial pressures and increasing demand
Increasing acuity and levels of complexity amongst the populations that we serve Low provision of interim and nursing home beds within the borough, with limited scope for
increasing Instability in the home-care market due to workforce pressures.
Newham
2018/19 ‐ Progress
The BCF has enabled health social care to put patients and service users at the heart of delivery. We have continued to develop joint working arrangements through multi-disciplinary team meetings, health and social care navigator roles, Rapid Response Team, supported discharge coordinators which continue to strengthen joint working with health and social care staff coming together to coordinate care for patients. We have used the BCF as a lever for integration and change and to truly join up services where it is right to do so. Service development from inception takes a collaborative approach from the outset.
All schemes have been delivered or continue on their way to implementation. We have expanded our BCF in 2018/19 to include the delivery of Wheelchair services which has been successful. In addition, Social Care has been protected in line with expectations (including Care Act support), Joint Funding initiatives were delivered within parameters and continues to be successful, equipment services were delivered with minimal Delayed Transfer of Care (DTOC) days attributable to equipment delays. Integrated Care initiatives have been developed and are now in place. For some areas, work
26
Better Care Fund update
continues to refine and roll out but in all BCF schemes are in line with expectations. We will be undertaking a review of all schemes as part of our refresh process.
Newham CCG and LBN have an excellent working relationship and are working in partnership to deliver a sustainable health and social care system for Newham and its residents. A real highlight for this year will be the expansion of our BCF/S75 arrangements to include Wheelchair services.
We continue with a number of the integrated care interventions including the rapid response and reablement service. We are exploring the development of a community services single point of access, social workers being core members of the health and social care Multi-Disciplinary Teams. As part of our integration work we are looking at spatial requirements and models of delivery which join up health and social care services into locality based areas providing true focus and outcomes for the local population.
Teams across all services are working positively to impact on Delayed Transfers of Care (DTOC). We have protocols in place for escalation management which has been pioneered through our Urgent Care Working Group. Newham continues to have good performance in relation to DTOC although there have been challenges this year.
There are a number of services that are supporting older people to remain at home after a hospital admission - including the Rapid Response service and the health and social care navigators. We have introduced a Hospital to Home service with wrap-around support including enablement to minimise the number of people readmitted to hospital. People with an Avoiding Unplanned Admissions (AUA) care plan who have attended A&E and or have been discharged from hospital are being reviewed by the health and social care MDTs in order to focus on maintaining people at home.
We continue to work very closely to limit residential care home admissions and review the options of short term step up beds into the community hospital and joint assessment through health and social care planning. It is important to note that Newham starts from a low baseline in relation to permanent admissions into care homes as we strive to keep residents in the community for as long as possible.
2018/19 – Key Achievements
The health and social care multi-disciplinary team meetings which are GP led and based in the GP practices with the added benefit of Social Workers who work specifically recruited to work as part of the GP MDT meetings. The core membership of the MDT is GP, Practice Nurse, Community Psychiatric Nurse, Health and Social Care Navigator, Social Worker, Community/District/Rapid Response Nurse, Therapy Lead. This programme has allowed joint working, training and clinicians coming together to look at the patient’s holistic needs regardless of the organisational boundaries to coordinate the patients care needs.
A ground-breaking venture between the Local Authority and Health partners has been developed to dramatically change the provision of health and social care in the borough by acquiring and building new facilities to deliver integrated health and social care. Health and Care Space Newham (HCSN) will develop facilities that offer GP services alongside a range of community health, social care, out of hospital, and a variety of clinical services. It will also build much-needed housing for sector staff. It is a new development model that will change the way health and social care services are delivered in Newham. HCSN is the first such partnership between a local authority and Health in the country and is the delivery vehicle for a wider strategic partnership that includes NHS Newham CCG and Newham Health Collaborative (NHC), East London Foundation Trust (ELFT) and Newham Council.

Better Care Fund update
2018/19 – Resources
The value of the BCF in 2018/19 was £140.9m (of which £53m was CCG contribution1 transferred to local authority).
2019/20 ‐ Plans
The BCF will continue to be used to address the following priorities:
Support social care Support integration / multi-disciplinary working Avoid unnecessary emergency admissions Reduce delayed transfers of care Reduce admissions to care homes Support people to live independently in their own homes.
The value of the BCF in 2019/20 is planned to grow to £146.1m (of which £53.6m is CCG contribution1 transferred to local authority).
Please note that the 2019/20 plan has yet to be finalised.
Tower Hamlets
In Tower Hamlets we have assumed that our 2018-19 programme is rolled over into 2019-20.
For the London Borough of Tower Hamlets all of the contracts tied to the BCF will end after March 2020 (if we include all extensions) so at present the total value may be at risk. However we anticipate that a new programme will be in place before this date which will be largely similar to the BCF and able to incorporate this risk.
For the CCG, as much of the contributed funding is committed to BAU contacts, none of the CCG standalone projects are at risk other than the Autism Diagnostic Service which now makes up part of ELFTs mental health contract and the Recovery College.
Nationally, the CCG minimum contribution will be increased although THCCG currently contribute significantly over the minimum threshold. However the CCG are currently uprating current contribution in line with inflation (1.8%).
The CCG and LBTH are confirming areas where there is a contractual commitment and that contract has increased, because these contracts can then be uplifted by a maximum of 1.8%. See Appendix 1 for the full BCF schedule for 2019-20 – the items highlighted are the areas to which we are awaiting confirmation whether growth has been applied.
We recently conducted an internal review of the BCF between the CCG and LA and are implementing the below to support our monitoring processes:
1. establish a BCF joint-finance working group made up of CCG and LA finance leads to discussapportionment and recycling of in-year underspends on a regular basis, seeking agreement viathe Tower Hamlets Joint Commissioning Executive (JCE) where required
1 This is the minimum CCG contribution + CCG additional fund
28
Better Care Fund update
2. align and update the expired S75 agreement for the BCF for 2019-20 to ensure that we are bestplaced to produce our refreshed BCF Plan when requested
3. develop a robust Programme Monitoring Framework for the Better Care Fund making the best ofuse of each commissioning organisations budget setting processes and existing monitoringresources. This will be based on the guidance provided for 2019-20 (when this is received),anticipating that the 2020-21 Programme will be similar and work can be carried forward.
Achievements
Local Incentive Scheme (LIS) – has been in place for 3 years and this is a shared scheme between THT commissioners and providers. It is intended to encourage and reward joint working that achieves the aims of Tower Hamlets Together, namely to deliver an integrated model of care for patients with complex needs, an emerging system model for patients in the last years of life (LYOL), new models of delivery for long term conditions (LTC), new models of community health services (CHS), targeted health and social care initiatives and public health prevention metrics that underpins the entire system. The scheme has been used to test risk sharing and management between partners. The LIS helped to achieve 82% annual health check uptake for people with a Learning Difficulty and 96% health action plan uptake which is over and above the national targets. These were improvements on the previous years at 74% and 64% respectively, therefore have definitely helped improve the situation locally.
Personalisation - It is a fundamental part of our vision that care and support are personalised to patients’ and service users’ needs and preferences to support patients to feel more empowered and resilient, this is a core part of the work under the BCF. Tower Hamlets is a demonstrator site for Integrated Personal Commissioning. The focus has been on developing and embedding personalised care planning, with the offer of a budget, in 4 cohorts of the population – adults with learning disabilities, adults with mental health needs, adults with two or more long term conditions and children and young people with special educational needs and disabilities (SEND). Tower Hamlets is the top performing area in London for Personal Health Budgets (PHBs), with 432 PHBs as of 31st August 2018.
Admission Avoidance and Discharge Service including Discharge to Assess - the community service offers up to 6 weeks’ input. 200 plus patients used the service between September 2016 - May 2017. On average, 20% of patients require no or reduced social care input at the end of the 6 weeks. This supported the closure of x2 community rehabilitation wards at Mile End Hospital.
Rapid Assessment Interface Discharge - this service for patients with mental health and drug and alcohol problems in Tower Hamlets has reduced hospital admissions. It is estimated that it saved approximately 2,833 bed days in the 2014/15 financial year. The occupied bed day’s data for 2016-2017 shows that when patients with mental health problems are referred to RAID they are being discharged at a faster rate evidenced by the trend line which is going down. The data shows a saving of at least 1,778 OBDs a year (an average saving of 1 OBD per patient when you exclude April 2016) and at most 4,400 OBDs a year (an average saving of 2.5 OBD if you include April 2016).
Waltham Forest
For the Waltham Forest BCF, 2019/20 is going to be a roll-over year. We are anticipating some changes to the ‘additional contributions’ part of the pooled fund, but no material changes to the ‘minimum contribution’ elements of the fund. The CCG and Council are confident of meeting the national conditions and don’t anticipate that there will be a problem getting our 2019-20 plan assured.
29
Better Care Fund update
We are not currently meeting our DToC trajectory, but we have been in correspondence with local BCF leads about this. The methodology used at the start of the planning period significantly disadvantaged local areas that had made significant improvements the year before. Since we have reasonable plans in place to meet the other indicators that make up the ‘High Impact Change Model for Managing Transfers of Care’ the overall level of performance should be met.
We have refreshed our iBCF Grant Schedule for 19-20. We are undertaking some re-prioritisation/triangulation on the Grant Schedule, but anticipate that agreement will be reached between LBWF and the NHS.
2018/19 progress
Reduction in non-elective admissions - During the year we raised a challenge through the CSU about the inappropriate coding of inpatient activity within Barts Health. The Trust have accepted the challenge and have adjusted the activity on SLAM, but not on SUS. When the SLAM data is reviewed, WF is delivering the NEL targets that were set at the start of the year. Two initiatives are being taken forward to improve the coding position. The other initiative involves senior clinicians from the CCG working with clinical colleagues at Barts to better understand whether the ambulatory care service model is as effective as it needs to be. These two initiatives will help clarify the true non-elective position at Whipps Cross. The outcomes of the Monmouth review are expected shortly. The contract we have negotiated with Barts Health for 19/20 includes a clause that allows NEL baselines to be re-set depending on the outcome of the Monmouth audit.
RES Admissions - WF are currently not meeting the target trajectory we set at the beginning of the year. Contributory factors include: limited alternative provision (i.e. the right type of support at home or access to sheltered/assisted living placements) and current pressures on the Reablement Service and general pressure to discharge patients from Whipps Cross Hospital. The new 'Bridging Service' was introduced at the end of Q3. This enables health care workers employed by NELFT to support residents at home immediately following discharge. This has successfully reduced the number of delayed discharges attributed to packages of care. A review of the Integrated Discharge Team (IDT) has been completed. The recommendations are being implemented and the impact on performance will be felt in 19/20.
Reablement - The Reablement Service has experienced a number of challenges over the past year. Leads are working with other system partners to make the necessary changes and to put the service on a more sustainable footing from 19/20. This involves discussing the service approach with NELFT. The further integration of LBWF funded reablement services and NHS funded rehabilitation services is also being considered. Despite some organisational challenges, the service has historically met BCF targets in this area.
Delayed Transfers of Care - We saw a significant spike in delayed transfers of care between May and September. This was the result of process challenges on the WXH wards and within the Integrated Discharge Team and reduced capacity outside of hospital. Out-of-hospital capacity challenges were exacerbated by changes in practice that were required following a CQC inspection of the Reablement Service. Capacity constraints were also exacerbated by the closure of a further nursing home in June 2018. Performance has improved considerably from September and we hope lower levels of DToCs can be sustained for 19/20 given the mitigating actions in place.

Executive summary The paper outlines the performance headlines as at M12 2018/19 (or latest position where available) and provides an update on the Operating Plan Performance trajectories for 2019/20. Key points for the STP Exec to note:
A&E Performance June YTD
Barts Health: 85.83% vs 87.5% trajectory with Newham with themost significant performance shortfall against trajectory 89.1% vs92.33% trajectory.WX 81.79% vs 84.36% trajectory and RLH 83.02% vs 86.13%trajectory.
BHRUT: 79.24% vs 86.9% trajectory Homerton: 93.84% vs 95% trajectory.
RTT Performance March/April
Barts Health achieved the 2018/19 operating plan ask to maintain sizeof the PTL compared to March 2018 (89, 591 vs 89,706 plan).
April was 84.21% vs 85.6% trajectory with a PTL size of 88,773 (727pathways below plan).
The April position on > 52 ww was 21 vs 20 trajectory. BHRUT did not achieve the 2018/19 operating plan ask to maintain
the size of the PTL compared to March 19 (39,272 vs 28,484 plan). April was 82.1% vs 82.1% trajectory with a PTL size of 39,581 vs
38,989 plan. The April position on > 52 ww was 30 vs trajectory of zero and
deterioration from the March position of 14. Homerton did not achieve the 201819 operating plan ask to maintain
the size of the PTL at the end of March 19, (19,514 vs 18,177 plan). The key focus is on reduction of the > 52 ww at Barts Health and
BHRUT with weekly tracking of the unvalidated position, more robustoperational processes to understand breach reasons and outsourcingwhere feasible. The NEL Demand and Capacity Group has reviewedthe year end position and is assessing the risks to the 19/20 delivery ofthe key elective programme deliverables.

Diagnostics (DM01) Performance April (< 1%)
Barts Health did not achieve the DM01 standard for April with2.64% with particular challenges in MRI and ultrasound capacity.
BHRUT did not achieve the DM01 standard for April with 10.6%against a trajectory of 8.1%. Challenges specialities are MRI,Endoscopy, and non-obstetric ultrasound.
The Demand and capacity group will repeat the capacity review againstkey modalities again as a NEL or London level solution/strategy needsto be established.
Mental Health latest Performance
CYP Access
NEL STP 2018/19 Apr–March (provisional published) YTDperformance was 24%, below the YTD target of 32%.
However comparison of local reported data with published informationsuggests that if the local CCG position was reflected in the publisheddata the STP performance at Mar-19 would be closer to 30% insteadof 24%.
IAPT Access Rate
NEL STP’s access rate performance in Jan-19 was 4.40%, 0.35percentage points below the NHSE 4.75% target; up on the previousmonth. 3/7 CCGs met target.
IAPT Recovery
NEL STP’s recovery rate performance in Jan-19 was 50.1%, achievingthe 50% standard for the first time since Sep-18. 3/7 CCGs met target.
CHC (Continual Health Care) assessments completed within 28 days
At Q4 2018/19 NEL STP performance was 64.3%, an improvementon the previous quarter but below the 80% target. Only Newham andWaltham Forest achieved the target, with the BHR CCGs accountingfor 71% of the total reported 28 day pathway breaches across NEL.Focused work is being undertaken to achieve the 28 day target byend of Q1 2019/20.
CHC Assessments in the acute setting
STP level performance at Q4 2018/19 was 10.6%, achieving the<15% maximum target.
NHS 111, Of calls triaged, % of Ambulance dispatches
In Mar-19, NEL (LAS provider) % Ambulance dispatches was8.2%, a slight reduction in performance from 8.1% in Feb-19.

An alliance of North East London Clinical Commissioning Groups City and Hackney, Newham, Tower Hamlets, Waltham Forest, Barking and Dagenham, Havering and Redbridge CCGs
London’s position in March (10.6%) was also an improvement compared to February (11.2%).
Unvalidated performance as of week ending 28/04/19 shows animproved performance for NEL at 8.37% (London 9.36%).
NHS111 % Calls Closed as Self-care
• In Mar-19, NEL (LAS provider) performance of calls closed as self-care / Consult and Complete was 25%, which was the same as Feb-19. NEL did not achieve the standard of 33%.
Action required The JCC is asked to note this report.

Strategic fit
Commissioningimplications
Localauthority/integratedcommissioningimplications
Commissioning Implications:
Underperformance against constitutional standards creates a case for change in the way in which services are commissioned and how both elective and non elective demand is planned and managed by commissioners and primary care.
Local Authority/integrated commissioning implications:
As above with implications specifically for integrated commissioning around urgent care, reducing lengths of stay, commissioning of care home capacity for example.
What does this mean for local people?
Local people will be aware of how services that are commissioned to meet their needs around quality, safety and access perform, and the processes in place to provide assurance
How does this drive change and reduce health inequalities (unwarranted variation)
The performance report highlights national standard performance which means that all services across England are measured in the same way for equitable delivery.
Impact on finance, performance and quality
The performance report highlights where increases in activity could be driving commissioning costs e.g. A&E attendances or unplanned admissions, with the consequence of under performance against a national standard. If a performance standard is not delivered, this could impact on patient quality e.g. waiting times for outpatient appointments or planned surgery, resulting in the need to ensure processes are in place gain assurance on patient safety and minimising the risk of clinical harm. Equally, if performance standards are met, then the impact on patient outcomes will be seen e.g. delivery of the 62 day cancer standard driving improving early diagnosis and one year survival.
Risks Current risks are insufficient improvement to consistently deliver 18 weeks, reduction in over 52 week waiters, A&E standards, diagnostic access times and consistent delivery of Mental health standards

One metric moved up a category fromImproving to Category 2
• IAPT recovery rate performance in Jan-19was 50.1%, above the 50% standard for thefirst time since Sep-18.
Four metrics moved from ‘not improving’ to‘improving’
• DIAGNOSTICS: a performance of 2.98% animprovement over the previous month(7.36%) against the target of 1%. Thisimprovement is driven by improvedperformance at BHRUT.
• NHS 111: performance for % calls answeredwithin 60 seconds improved to 82.8%against 95% standard.
• LOS: NEL STP reported a total of 580 bedsoccupied. Whilst not compliant with thetarget this was an improvement from 641 inFeb-19.
• LAS handovers: In March-19 NEL STPhandovers within 15 minutes performanceimproved to 29.7% from 27.7% in Feb andhandovers within 30 minutes improved to88.3% up from 85.0%.
One metric showed a deteriorationwhich moved them down aperformance category.
DTOC: NEL STP average bed dayslost to DTOCs in Feb-19 was 97,above the target of 69. Theposition deteriorated from Jan-19position.
A number of metrics remain in thelowest category, ‘not improving’and of particular note is:
RTT: In Feb-19 the NEL PTL positionwas 6,224 pathways over-plan forthe month up from 3,713 in Jan-19,driven primarily by BHRUT (5,947pathways over-plan). 52wwincreased by 1 in Feb-19 to 34pathways up from Jan-19 (33).
• CHC completed within 28 days: At Q4 2018/19, NELSTP performance was 64.3%, an improvement on theprevious quarter but below the 80% target. OnlyNewham and Waltham Forest achieved the target,with the BHR CCGs accounting for 71% of the totalreported 28 day pathway breaches across NEL.Focused work is being undertaken to achieve the 28day target by end of Q1 2019/20.
• MH CYP Access: NEL STP 2018/19 Apr–Mar was 24%,up from 22.5% but below the 32% annual target.Significant divergence between local and nationaldata remains an important issue being addressed.This is potentially under-reporting achievement byan estimated 6.3 percentage points.
• IAPT Access rate performance in Jan-19 was 4.40%,0.35 percentage points below NHSE 4.75% Q4 target.
• MH Inappropriate Out of Area Placements: NEL STPreported a total of 435 days in Jan-19, comparedwith 280 days in Dec-18, above the STP quarterlytarget of 100. This increase was mainly at BHR andWaltham Forest CCGs reflecting demand pressuresand low bed capacity at NELFT.

NEL STP improvement in performance was driven by improvement at both BHRUT (9.22%) and Barts Health (0.39%) against the 1% Standard . BHRUT (DM01) Trajectory forecasts delivery in Apr-19.
The Trust has worked up recovery actions for the challenged modalities which is discussed at the planned care programme board and at CRG. BHRUT’s financial position is having a significant impact on overall delivery.
NEL STP performance remains challenged across Bart's Health and BHRUT. At Bart's Health the number of 52ww improved from 25 in Jan-19 to 24 in Feb-19
BHRUT continues to be monitored against the revised trajectory which is to deliver 88.43% by Mar- 19.Unvalidated position for March as of 31/03/19 is 80.4%. BHRUT and BHR CCGs agreed 19/20 RTT Trajectory as part of the Operating planning round submissions, this sees BHRUT achieve 88.1% by Mar-20 with a PTL size of 34,153.
IAPT access and recovery rates have shown an overall improvement across the STP. Thecurrent underperformance within four CCGs reflects the impact of increased annual IAPTaccess target, against a background of constrained financial investment within BHR, andin-year service re-procurement within TH. BHR and TH recovery plans are in place, withoversight through STP MH Assurance Group.
CYP Access Rate is underperforming across NEL reflecting difficulties by providers toreport CYP MHSDS data to NHS Digital. CCGs are working with providers to improve flowof CYP data. Local recovery plans are in place, with oversight through STP MH AssuranceGroup.

Executive summary The report presents the NELCA Joint Commissioning Committee (JCC) risk register for review.
Good governance requires each committee to hold a risk register for its responsibilities. The paper identifies 11 risks held by the NELCA JCC and indicates the mitigating action. These cover:
S1 Robust demand and capacity planning across NEL
S2 Improving self care and demand management and increasing care closer to home
S3 Securing the future of NEL health and social care providers and commissioners
S4 Improving the commissioning of specialised care
S5 Securing local council leadership for key NEL programmes
S6 Delivery of primary care at scale
E1-3 Enabling programmes of workforce, digital and estates
AD1 Streamlined and robust assurance on system transformation and improvement plans
AD2 Integrating CSU services into CCGs where required.
The report also outlines proposed changes to the JCC risk register to be agreed by the Committee.
Action required The Committee is asked to:
review the risks and mitigating action and advise on any gapsor concerns for further action
agree the proposed changes to the risk register.

Purpose of the report 1. The purpose of the Joint Commissioning Committee risk register is to set out the key risks to
the North East London Commissioning Alliance (NELCA) in achieving its objectives and priorities and the actions in place to manage those risks.
Background 2. The Joint Commissioning Committee has a responsibility to maintain sound risk management
processes and ensure that internal control systems are appropriate and effective and where necessary to take remedial action. It is a key part of Good Governance.
3. The risk review uses the standard NHS methodology that considers the likelihood of the riskalongside its severity. Both measures are scored out of 5 (with 5 being the most likely andworst impact). The risk score takes account of the mitigating action proposed. This thengives a risk score and categorisation of:
4. The risk register is organised around the NEL corporate objectives. The JCC has set out itsforward plan that includes updates on its key strategies and programmes. The risk registerwill be updated each time to reflect the progress being made, as well as identifying any newrisks from the consideration of its business.
5. As the JCC is a collaborative committee of all CCGs, each Governing Body must own therisk and associated mitigating action through its risk management arrangements. The riskassessment and mitigation are set out in appendix 1. For risks that are red-rated (scored 15or greater), CCGs should ensure that these are covered in their own risk registers and BoardAssurance Frameworks.
6. Following discussions with Audit Chairs and JCC Members, it has been agreed to keep therisk management and the risk register under review to ensure the risk arrangements arerobust and embedded firmly within the ELHCP, Alliance and its member CCGs. Further workis underway – aligned to the review of NEL risk management arrangements – to improve theregister. Many of the risks identified in the register are ones that apply equally to the ELHCPas much as to NELCA. Given this, it is intended to explore how we can move potentially to acommon NEL risk register while recognising the formal accountability back to CCG members.
7. With the ambition to become a NEL ICS by 2021 we are proposing to review and revise thecurrent JCC risk register to ensure it reflects, and has oversight of, the objectives andmilestones to reach ‘mature ICS’ by 2021. The risks will incorporate the current risks as wellas those outlined in the NHS ICS Maturity Matrix. Additionally, we propose to amend theformat of the risk register to show one risk per page, and include progress of the risk scoreagainst a trajectory, template attached (appendix 2). If agreed, this new format will bepresented at the September JCC meeting.
Current Risks on the JCC Risk Register8. There are 11 risks on the JCC risk register and appendix 1 shows the full detail of these risks
and the mitigating action.

Progress on Risk Mitigation 9. A brief update on progress on the 11 risks is given below:
S1 - Robust demand and capacity planning across NEL 10. The 19/20 System Operating plan has been agreed. This aligns commissioner and
provider approaches to key programme and issues and includes a consolidated approachto system savings. This was approved through the ELHCP Executive and is available onthe ELHCP website. Finance and activity continues to be managed through the ODG. Thecommissioning strategy will be revised as part of agreeing the ELHCP STP refresh by Oct19.
S2 - Improving self-care and demand management and increasing care closer to home 11. The NELCA prevention programme continues to deliver existing projects including stopping
smoking, diabetes and TB. These have a focus on secondary prevention interventionsincluding interest in exploring the Ottawa model on reducing smoking as adopted in GreaterManchester. As part of the NEL response to the LTP, the programme is being refreshedincluding developing the network / locality approach that will be a major focus for work withlocal communities. In addition, the LTP makes further commitments around personalisationthat will assist with self-care. This will include social prescribing where we have significantgood practice from Tower Hamlets, City & Hackney and Waltham Forest that can assistwider learning.
S3 - Securing the future of NEL health and social care providers and commissioners 12. Payment reform is on-going and developing through the wider commissioner and provider
collaboration embedded in the NEL approach to integrated care and the 19/20 SystemOperating Plan. This will be one of the key areas considered in the refresh of the NEL STP.A risk share is in place across NEL CCGs.
S4 - Improving the commissioning of specialised care 13. The guidance is still awaited from NHSE / NHSI on the delegation of specialised
commissioning and this is now anticipated to be included in the NHS Long Term Plan.There was a focus on SpecComm and provider alignment in the 19/20 System OperatingPlan. There is ongoing engagement with NHSE to influence any proposals and currentplans and commissioning of specialised commissioning by NHSE.
S5 – Local Council Engagement 14. The main vehicle for local council involvement is through each of the integrated care
systems and engagement is good. Regular updates on NELCA and ELHCP are providedto HWBBs and OSCs. Engagement with local councils is ongoing around the INELTransformation Board (Waltham Forest, Newham, Tower Hamlets and City & Hackney).This involves both commissioners, providers and local councils. Local council chiefexecutives are engaged with the ELHCP Partnership Executive and there is ongoing liaisonbetween the Single Accountable Officer and her local MDs and local council leaders (bothpoliticians and officers).
S6 – Primary Care at Scale 15. The focus on primary care recruitment and retention continues. A review of all Federations
has been undertaken using the national maturity matric tool. This will be used to inform thebest use of primary care transformation funds in 19/20 and beyond. In addition, the newGP contract changes aimed at supporting the introduction of Primary Care Networks isbeing supported both locally and across NEL. It is aligned to the ongoing work with local
42

GP Federations. The local PCN framework is being extended to encompass ensuring PCNs are DES ready and that they do become fully functioning PCNs with their community partners.
E1 – Workforce 16. Delivery of a number of initiatives from external funding bids continues. This includes
physician associates, nursing associate apprentices, workforce support around cancer andmental health and provider collaboration on the use of bank and agency. Workforce is seenas one of the key enablers to deliver long term sustainability for NEL and it is likely to be apriority within the STP Refresh.
E2 – Digital 17. The focus continues on the delivery of the NEL Local Health and Care Record Exemplars
including clinical access, public access to care records and improving data quality. Thedevelopment of a digital front door to the NHS continues with funding in place to deliver thePrimary Care Digital Accelerator.
E3 – Estates 18. The NEL estates strategy was published fully in October on the ELHCP website. Although
no funding was secured in the Wave 4 bids, each of the NEL priority schemes areassessing potential alternative funding. The Whipps Cross business case continues to bedeveloped with the involvement of local stakeholders. There has been significantengagement with local councils around the NEL strategy including local briefings andpresentation to the BHR and INEL Joint Overview and Scrutiny Committees.
AD1 - Streamlined and robust assurance on system transformation and improvement plans 19. There is continued discussion with regulators on the 19/20 assurance process following the
integration of NHS England (commissioners) and NHS Improvement (providers). Aframework is being developed for earned autonomy and this being tested in key areas suchas mental health and A&E. The NEL reporting framework is now agreed and a regularrhythm established for the JCC, ELHCP Executive and NELCA chairs. This ensures muchgreater oversight and awareness of current performance issues.
AD2 – CSU Integration 20. The NEL programme has been paused by the national team pending the outcome of an
NHS England commissioned audit by Deloitte. It is anticipated that the review will bepublished in May. This will allow fresh consideration of any key areas for inhousing. Untilthe outcome of the review is known, NEL is working with three other London STPs todevelop an interim operating model to allow staff to work more closely and flexibly withCCG leadership.
