WELCOME The tour of Ward 17 commenced at 1.20pm. The meeting commenced at 2.10pm. Ms Abel-Pattinson opened the meeting and welcomed the new Committee, reminding them that the first session is Public and as such the media are often in attendance. If there is an item that would be more suitably discussed in the Public Excluded session, please observe this. Ms Abel-Pattinson advised that she has had some discussions with management to change the reporting style going forward to better meet the needs of HAC, the Ministry’s expectations and the DHBs strategic plan. This is an ongoing conversation where the DHB isn’t looking to change the board paper, but rather to have a cover sheet that summarises the information for the Board up front. The senior management team introduced themselves to the new Committee members. No items for General Business were noted.

DISCLOSURE OF INTEREST/SPECIFIC INTERESTS There were no Disclosures of Interest to note requiring update. There were no Specific Interests to note regarding the agenda for this meeting. 1. AGENDA ORDER AND TIMING
Agenda items were taken in the same order as listed on the agenda. 2. BOARD COMMITTEE MINUTES 2.1 Minutes of the Hospital Advisory Committee 20 November 2019
Ms Glenn referred to item 4.5 Equitable Health Outcomes and asked that the discussion points be saved and taken forward for a future discussion on Equity. Action: Secretariat to add Equity discussion points noted under item 4.5 to action register. Resolution (Moved: Ms Glenn/Seconded: Ms Brown) That the Minutes of the Hospital Advisory Committee meeting held on 20 November 2019 be approved.
Carried
2.2 Action Items Register – Public
Noted. Ms Apa noted that the first item, a report on the birthing units in the context of our strategy for Women’s Health, should be moved to the Public Excluded Action Items register. Ms Burr confirmed that the Women’s Health team would be able to provide the information at the 27 May HAC meeting. Action: Secretariat to move the above item from Public to Public Excluded Action Items Register.
3. PROVIDER ARM PERFORMANCE REPORT 3.1 Executive Summary (Margie Apa)
The report was taken as read. Mary Burr provided key points:
The White Island experience displayed incredible teamwork and cooperation. Of the 47 people involved in the incident, 31 were injured and the DHB treated 11 of the injured at any one time.
The national targets for Colonoscopy and Gastroscopy are continuing to be met.
Planned care (elective) results for November 2019 was 112.3% of planned production, which will provide a good buffer going forward. Indicative planned care result for December is 111%.
Kidz First ED attendances are down 6% compared to last year.
An Ocular plastic surgeon is joining the team in March 2020.
Current maternity bed capacity has increased to 54 (from 45 this time last year).
Recruitment around the post-natal ward is progressing, with nursing covering some of the midwifery shortfall.
‘Our People’ were acknowledged including appointment of Dr Peter Watson as CMO, the pharmacy team who reacted swiftly around the White Island response, the Tamaki Oranga service who celebrated 20 years of operation and the stroke team who are finalists in the Vodafone Innovation Fund.
007
Counties Manukau District Health Board – Combined HAC/CPHAC/DiSAC Meeting 8 April 2020
National Bowel Screening programme has identified 76 cancers to date. For the benefit of the new Committee members, Ms Abel-Pattinson explained the rationale behind the Board’s request for an update at each meeting.
The number of Ophthalmology overdue follow-up appointments has increased in December due to the reduction in outpatient services over the Christmas period, but recovery to previous levels is expected by March 2020.
Pressure on Gynaecology assessment is based on volume and theatre access. Business cases are being worked through to identify how the DHB can better manage the volume.
Radiology ongoing strikes are over with the collective agreement now settled. New graduates joining the DHB at the beginning of this year are assisting vacancy rates.
Mental Health acute services community training to police and ambulance has been very successful.
The simulated emergency event was worthwhile and was held two days before the White Island event.
ED continues to experience very high volumes but achieved its 6-hour turnaround target across four days in December.
The number of Measles cases has significantly reduced.
There are challenges around Faster Cancer Treatment time due to impact of radiology strike action, slow diagnostic testing process and access to theatre by the While Island event.
Surgical services are returning to normality after the White Island event.
ARHOP has achieved a reduction in the use of beds due to successful community programmes.
Overall, most national health targets are on track. Ms Apa noted that the DHBs investment in outsourcing is making a real difference in getting through the lists. Ms Glenn noted the efforts of Women’s Health to recruit registered nurses to work alongside midwives and has discussed with Chris Mallon (Chief Midwife), the monetary impact on nurses having to do a further 2-years training and asked whether the DHB could offer to assist financially. Ms Abel-Pattinson acknowledged the concept and advised that a further discussion on Workforce is planned for a later meeting. Ms Apa advised that Elizabeth Jeffs is working on a workforce development plan refresh alongside the strategy plan and Mr Nand can work with Elizabeth on this.
3.2 Hospital Services Project Portfolio Overview (Margie Apa) The report was noted and taken as read. Ms Apa provided key points:
Every $ counts is not quite where the DHB would like it to be.
Every Hour Counts is a major cross-hospital work-flow project, which has exposed that the DHBs flow challenges are not independent problems. A cross-organisation task force is to be formed, led by Dana Ralph-Smith, to work with the services and review how the DHB is organising ambulatory care, how it can better use its workforce, and look at the area parallel to the DHBs facilities.
Ms Mahuta commented that she would like to gain an understanding of non-financial indicators in the sector. It was agreed that this would be best covered in a separate workshop session. Action: Dr Yang to arrange to include a non-financial performance workshop as part of the induction of new board members, subject to approval of the Board Chair.
008
Counties Manukau District Health Board – Combined HAC/CPHAC/DiSAC Meeting 8 April 2020
3.3 Finance Results – CMDHB Provider Arm (Avinesh Anand) The report was taken as read. Mr Anand provided points:
The content of the finance report compared to other DHBs is under review.
Deficit $2.4m largely impacted by White Island with direct costs of $2.124m. The DHB has incurred an estimated $9.8m of costs related to White Island and discussions are underway with ACC regarding funding.
ED numbers are down 6.4% in December compared to last year.
Plan care volumes were impacted by White Island, but overall are still on target.
Vacancies continue in hard to recruit areas.
Ms Glenn referred to the ED presentations graph and asked if the info desk in ED has been successful in directing patients to other areas of the hospital. Dr Watson advised that while it appears that ED volumes are plateauing, those with EMQ vouchers are not included. If they were added, numbers are larger than last year. Another significant change has been putting an after-hours clinic into Otara, where a large proportion of the DHBs volume comes from.
3.3.1 Non Resident Bad Debt Summary (Avinesh Anand)
The report was taken as read. Mr Anand advised, for the benefit of the new Committee members, that there is a detailed process for non-resident debt. Ms Abel-Pattinson reassured new members that non-resident debt is actively pursued.
Resolution (Moved: Ms Glenn/Seconded: Ms Mahuta) That the Hospital Advisory Committee: Note and receive the reports.
Carried
4. CORPORATE REPORTS 4.1 General Medicine Deep Dive Presentation (Catherine Tracy, Chris Luey)
Ms Tracy provided a presentation to the meeting. Key points:
General Medicine provides a range of non-surgical healthcare to adults without limit to any one organ or system/area of knowledge. Permanent inpatient beds 144, SMO FTE~24 (40 physicians), RMO FTE65, Nursing FTE239.
Acute admissions 1400-1600/month, impatient medicine, ambulatory care 1400 FSA, 1500 follow-up/year.
12 ward general medicine teams with 3 teams per ward, to expand to 15 teams with the addition of ward 17.
New roster implemented 9 December 2019, reverting to 1:3 pattern and is more ward-based and efficient system with improved utilisation of RMOs to provide more out of hours coverage without additional positions.
Ms Apa asked what roster is used by the DHBs colleagues at ADHB and WDHB. Dr Luey advised that the demands are quite different, so it was not possible to compare directly.
009
Counties Manukau District Health Board – Combined HAC/CPHAC/DiSAC Meeting 8 April 2020
Ms Mahuta asked that when the workforce conversation is held, that the information identifies where there are multipliers, ie: a General Medicine staff member who is also a specialist.
Action: Secretariat to advise Ms Jeffs of Ms Mahuta’s request to identify any multipliers in the upcoming workforce presentation.
Workload is measured in three traditional ways – discharge numbers, acuity and length of stay. The DHBs discharges are 36% higher than ADHB with a similar number of doctors. Acuity is similar to other regional DHBs.
Measuring of complexity is challenging and shows the DHBs complexity is the highest of regional DHBs with the trend and rate of increase also far higher.
WEIS (used by MoH) doesn’t reflex complexity or socio-economic impact.
Length of stay has starting trending downward.
Bed capacity constantly exceeded, forcing acute areas to be used to house patients. Business case to open Ward 17 permanently approved by ELT but not budgeted.
Vulnerabilities: vacancies in SMOs, RMOs and nursing, training threatened as service demands eclipse training opportunities, workload is unsustainable, inadequate capacity, provider of last resort.
Strengths: outstanding staff, active recruitment programme, patient flow improvements and innovation.
Immediate term: Fully and permanently open Ward 17 and facilitate recruitment. Short term: need for organisational support for services depended on by General Medicine, ie: cardiology, respiratory, ED. Medium term need for sixth ward with three associated teams.
Dr Luey noted that there was some concern that the flu season and corona virus may hit at the same time.
Ms Mahuta asked that Ms Tracy’s presentation be added to Diligent. Action: Secretariat to add Ms Tracy’s powerpoint presentation to Diligent. Ms Bungard left the meeting at 3.06 pm. A quorum remained present.
4.2 Bowel Screening Programme Update (Catherine Tracy) The report was taken as read. Ms Brown asked if the DHB was able to treat all patients that are being screened in the bowel screening programme in a timely fashion. Ms Tracy confirmed that the DHB was able to, but that Fast Cancer Treatment is impacting on the theatre times of other surgeries. Ms Apa advised that access to theatres and diagnostics are the DHBs limiting factors. Apulu Autagavaia asked whether a breakdown of cancers was available for those that were positive. Ms Tracy advised that the DHB has a report available that can be sent through. Action: Ms Tracy to provide Secretariat with a breakdown of cancers that were positive so that these can be included with the Minutes. (Refer Appendix 1). Ms Mahuta asked what the likelihood was of the Ministry acting to meet its Maaori and Pasifika targets. Ms Tracy advised that a letter to the Ministry has been prepared as the DHB has concerns around its ability to increase that capacity.
010
Counties Manukau District Health Board – Combined HAC/CPHAC/DiSAC Meeting 8 April 2020
Resolution (Moved: Ms Brown/Seconded: Ms Glenn) That the Hospital Advisory Committee: Note and receive the report.
Carried
4.3 Fast Cancer Treatment Quarterly Update (Catherine Tracy)
The report was taken as read. Resolution (Moved: Ms Mahuta/Seconded: Dr Perese) That the Hospital Advisory Committee:
Note and receive the report.
Carried
4.4 Patient Flow – Every Hour Counts Update and Presentation (Dr Mary Seddon) The report was taken as read. Resolution (Moved: Ms Brown/Seconded: Ms Glenn) That the Hospital Advisory Committee:
Note and receive the report.
Carried Dr Seddon provided a presentation to the meeting. Key points:
Demand is outstripping capacity. Working to reduce/shape demand to match capacity with demand, redesign the system.
MRI waitlist reduced from 2129 to 631 between Feb-Sep 2019, however not sustained, increasing to 910 in February, due to reduction in number of outsourced MRIs plus impact of industrial action.
Trial of senior clinician-led triage of ED patients on Monday’s 11am-11pm achieved success on 2 of 4 trial days.
Cardiac investigation unit change to electronic booking process, introduction of morning orderly, introduction of walk in clinic for DNAs, clinics using same pacemakers and creation of electronic reported for cardiology testing have all improved flow.
Transformational change is required with clear mandate that senior leaders and clinicians will drive change. However, sufficient capacity in clinical teams is needed in order to achieve effective engagement and involvement.
Ms Glenn asked when the bed numbering system would be available. Dr Seddon advised access to bed numbers but not who is in the bed should be available around September.
011
Counties Manukau District Health Board – Combined HAC/CPHAC/DiSAC Meeting 8 April 2020
Dr Perese asked if decreases in time had impacted patient experience, both hospital and ambulatory. Dr Seddon advised that pre-work has been done in ambulatory and a small amount has been done in hospital. Ms Abel-Pattinson asked what methods were available to recognise innovation. Dr Seddon advised she can provide the names of those at the frontline so that a letter of thanks can be provided from the Committee. Mr Nand advised that some recognition had taken place, such as morning teas, emails of thanks, articles in the Daily Dose, but agreed a letter from the Committee would be appropriate. Action: Dr Seddon to provide names of frontline innovators to Secretariat, who will prepare letters of thanks from the Committee.
4.5 Patient Experience and Safety Report (Dr David Hughes) The report was taken as read.
4.5.1 Safety, Experience, Compliance and Measurement Dashboard
The report was taken as read. Dr Hughes provided key points:
The reports reflect updates to some of the charts, in particular, the review of falls due to concerns that the data was not particularly reliable, and work on hospital associated infections.
Ms Abel-Pattinson advised the Committee that an induction would be running for new board members, to explain the terms, why the DHB measures them and the different methods of showing the data.
There have been some issues around electronic medication reconciliation. The implementation of MedChart has significantly changed workflows for pharmacists, who are not getting to complete reconciliations as quickly as previously. The positive is the volume of scripts reviewed daily, which has doubled to 61,000 every month.
Ms Abel-Pattinson asked how many sentinel events have been stopped by MedChart. Mr Nand advised that a review has been completed and the data could be provided at a future deep dive. Action: Mr Nand to provide data relating to MedChart sentinel events, once a deep dive has been scheduled for a future meeting
4.5.2 Safety, Experience, Compliance and Measurement Dashboard Variance Report
The report was taken as read.
4.5.3 QSM Local Report The report was taken as read.
Dr Hughes provided key points:
Additional reporting added relating to opioid related harm at very early stages, looking at how many patients are affected by this, eg: constipation, breathing, nausea and vomiting.
012
Counties Manukau District Health Board – Combined HAC/CPHAC/DiSAC Meeting 8 April 2020
Resolution (Moved: Ms Brown/Seconded: Ms Glenn) That the Hospital Advisory Committee: Note and receive the reports.
Carried
4.6 Vaping Workshop Ms Abel-Pattinson advised the meeting that the DHB had a no smoking policy over the entire campus. The consensus of a previous board discussion was that not enough was known about vaping and not all board members agreed about using it as part of a quit programme. It was determined that a workshop be held to review more recent evidence and to look at the needs of the DHBs population, particularly in Mental Health, where there are some additional needs that may not be necessary for the rest of our hospital population. Action: Dr Yang and Secretariat to organise a date for the Vaping workshop and extend the invitation to all Board members.
Resolution (Moved: Dr Perese/Ms Glenn) That the Hospital Advisory Committee: Agree that a workshop be scheduled to further discuss the DHBs position on Vaping.

2.4 Action Items Register/Response to Action Items Action Items are to be discussed as part of the Workplan 2020 discussion in the Public Excluded section of this meeting.
3. BRIEFING 3.1 Auckland Regional Public Health Service Briefing (William Rainger, Medical Officer of Health, ARPHS)
Report was taken as read. As a new board is in session, Dr Rainger gave an overview of ARPHS and their functions; health protection, health promotion and disease prevention. In response to the measles outbreak and the Covid event, ARPHS works in conjunction with the DHB around strategies to address immunisation issues. The Northern Region Health Coordination centre has been activated. Currently ARPHS staff are at the airport meeting patients and providing information to them. The first stage is to keep Covid 19 out of New Zealand and this sits within ARPHS area of responsibility. The second stage requires DHB assistance as ARPHS don’t have capacity to manage the scale of that response. Customs are currently monitoring people seeking entry to NZ and determining where they have been in the last 14 days. Ms Brown mentioned the catch up campaign for measles immunisations and was advised that money will be allocated from Government, but the amount is yet to be determined. In regard to Mumps and countries that don’t immunise for it, we can monitor those coming in and catch them up. Ultimately a policy change would be required to ensure, for example, seasonal workers coming in to New Zealand are denied entry until fully immunised. A policy change can be an expensive exercise.
027
Counties Manukau District Health Board – Combined HAC/CPHAC/DiSAC Meeting 8 April 2020
Recommendation to the Board CPHAC would like the Board to consider advocating, both regionally and with ARPHS/intersectorally, for stronger immunisation policies for those wishing to enter New Zealand, in particular for education/work. Moved: Dianne Glenn/Seconded: Robert Clark Carried: Unanimously Measles is a good story to show how, in order to prevent these types of outbreaks, we need to understand and support communities with their issues. The Metro DHBS work closely with Northland DHB, but CPHAC was wondering if there could be a closer working relationship between the four DHBs in order for there to be better coordinated responses to certain events? The Northland Public Health Service and ARPHS meet monthly to discuss issues where they may work together. Dr Rainger is interested to to see if the Health & Disability Review will strengthen this area of focus. How could we have worked better with Asian/Maori/Pacific Communities very early on to mitigate the spread of the disease is a question that ARPHS has been looking at. Reducing inequities is part of the ARPHS overarching objectives. From an organisation perspective, for long term development, ARPHS will reinvigorate the Treaty of Waitangi perspective and also have a structured organisational approach to inequities. Action ARPHS will come back to CPHAC with details around the make up of their staff in relation to the population they are representative of. In regard to vaping, ARPHS is currently waiting for Government direction. CM Health is planning a workshop regarding Vaping and this is to be discussed today at HAC. CPHAC wants to make sure there is a strong submission from the Metro DHBs with a regional input (ARPHS). Ms Apa will circulate the submission to Board for their feedback. Dr Rainger reiterated that Vaping should be advertised as a Quit Smoking Tool, however, that is not the approach that the Government is taking. ARPHS will suggest ensuring tobacco retailers, like alcohol retailers, must be licenced. ARPHS will return in six months’ time (12 August 2020).
6. RESOLUTION TO EXCLUDE THE PUBLIC
Resolution (Moved: Colleen Brown/Seconded: Dianne Glenn) That in accordance with the provisions of Schedule 3, Clause 32 and Sections 6, 7 and 9 of the NZ Public Health and Disability Act 2000:

Covid-19 Response in the Community
Recommendation It is recommended that the combined subcommittees (HAC, CPHAC and DiSAC): Receive this update on the District Health Board’s community and public health response to the Covid-19 pandemic.
Prepared and submitted by: Aroha Haggie, Director of Funding and Health Equity
Purpose The purpose of this paper is to provide the Board subcommittees an update on the work to manage the Covid-19 pandemic in the community. Community response Much work has gone into Covid-19 preparedness and response in the community. We recognize this is a worrying time for our population, many of whom are already battling with pre-existing medical conditions and impacts of socioeconomic deprivation. CM Health has been working hard to provide additional support and information, especially to Maaori, Pacific, Asian populations as well as those who are elderly, disabled or otherwise vulnerable. We have also made sure to engage with key stakeholders, including service providers in the community. As of 1st April, there are now 7 CBACs (Community based assessment clinics) in our catchment area including a Maaori-led one in Manukau and Pacific-led one in Otara. Work is being done to assess the number of crowded homes in our catchment area, and the possibility of using mobile units. Communications We have increased local, outgoing communications in different languages spoken by our community. In particular, we have had good responses from advertisements in local free newspapers and videos uploaded onto social media platforms. Communications team is cognisant that people may feel overwhelmed by the many sources of information available, some which may conflict. We are keeping our messaging simple, local and in the languages spoken by our communities. We are especially keen to inform and support our vulnerable communities to continue to seek necessary medical care, including flu vaccinations for those eligible, during this lockdown period.

Above: A video in Samoan explaining our visitor policy on CM Health’s Instagram account Support for Maaori CM Health has stood up an incident management team (IMT) ‘Ngaa Amokura Haumaru’ to support Maaori people living in CM Health rohe. This IMT will be liaising closely with the regional Maaori Health IMT and mana whenua to ensure Maaori have access to information and resources during the lockdown. Ngaa Amokura Haumaru is supporting several initiatives, including the Whaanau Guide and Ngaa Kaimanaaki – a new community champion workforce for Covid-19 which will augment current health and social service workforces. The Whaanau guide has two parts: the first is a series of daily Facebook Live videos, with information to help Maaori whaanau deal with the day to day effects of what they will be facing in the upcoming weeks to months. In addition to health information, the show will discusses other aspects that may be impacted including managing daily household expenses, mortgage repayments and rent options, how to access government services, how to keep children calm and active at home. The second part is a series of text message (2 x a week) to whaanau registered with a Primary Health Organisation (PHO). It also provides for additional support for Paerangi; a Maaori-led collaborative designed to meet the communication needs of whaanau hauaa (Maaori with a disability). This combination of activities will ensure up-to-date advice, information and virtual support is provided to regional whaanau for Covid-19.

This assessment includes analysis of where the gaps in services are. Communications collateral has been drafted to give providers further support, clarity and direction about our expectations in relation to their contracts. CM Health is also looking to support organisations with whom we have no formal relationship with (contract or reporting lines) such as Age Concern, as they provide important services to our community. Further details will be provided in the verbal report.

It is important to note that this report was compiled during the Covid-19 pandemic and therefore this dominates most of the reporting. COVID-19 A pandemic called coronavirus is causing a respiratory illness called COVID-19 disease in New Zealand (and the world) at growing levels and is evolving and escalating each day. The disease can be severe or life-threatening and community transmission has the potential to overwhelm healthcare services in this country. Preparedness for COVID-19 Pandemic All CM Health Services began planning for a Covid-19 response early in the year, supported by emergency planning work that is always ongoing. By the end of January and into February 2020, the team was working with the regional emergency response and Auckland Regional Public Health (ARPHs) teams to develop an overarching plan. By February 2020 it became clear that CM Health required comprehensive Covid-19 related and business as usual management plans for service delivery during Covid-19 and work stepped up to a new level on this.

By 1 March 2020, an Incident Management Team (IMT) under the Co-ordinated Incident Management System (CIMS) structure was established. Explanation of the operationalising of CIMS The CIMS IMT provides a central command and control centre for all coordination and decision making during an event, outbreak or pandemic. CIMS achieves effective coordinated incident management across responding services and agencies and establishes common structures, functions and terminology in incident management within a framework that is flexible, modular and scalable so that it can be tailored to circumstances specific to any level or type of incident. During an event with the size and scale we are currently experiencing, CIMS is critical to gaining order and appropriate responses to escalating challenges. Current State At the time of writing this report, the hospital has no Covid-19 positive patients (this is expected to change and hospital admissions will become a factor in this response). There are 33 community patients who have tested positive. Actions to date

Finance Overview- February
The Provider Arm produced a $(77) k unfavourable result against budget for the month of February 2020, YTD $(3.14) M unfavourable to budget. A level of vacancies continues across the system that has been offset by cover provided by locums, bureau, overtime, casual staff and additional outsourced clinical services. Added pressure on services during the Whakaari/White Island incident, the measles epidemic, as well as the ongoing impact of Apex Strikes have led to further YTD clinical outsourcing to meet planned care volumes. The Covid-19 Pandemic financial impact will be monitored and reported in the coming months. The February result has been driven by:
- Continuing costs relating to Whakaari/White Island incident of the 9th December,
- Approved additional capacity (Ward 17, Ward 34 and Ophthalmology),
- Additional outsourcing to meet planned care volumes.
The estimated costs incurred by CMH for the White Island/Whakaari incident is estimated at $11.2M (including ~$1m for capital) for direct patient care (theatre time, clinical supplies including skins) and those incurred as a result of the incident (incident management costs, diversion of acute etc). Three patients are currently being treated and are expected to be discharged in the next few months. Delayed implementation of savings programmes and YTD overspends for unbudgeted additional capacity has reflected unfavourably on the YTD result. Key Updates to the Hospital Advisory Committee (The Committee requested regular update on the following items). National Bowel Screening Programme (NBSP)
As of the end of February 2020, there have been 64,525 kits have been distributed, 1,435 positive FIT tests; 980 colonoscopies completed, out of which 816 of those patients had biopsies. 89 cancers have been diagnosed since the start of the programme. Ophthalmology Overdue Follow up Appointments The number of people waiting for surgery at the end of February (785 patients) is similar to the previous month. There were 23 patients waiting longer than 120 days at the end of February 2020 but 12 were booked to have their surgery in early March 2020. The increase in patients waiting is due to the effect of the mega-clinics particularly the very large clinics held in November 2019 with patients now falling into the more than

90 days late group. The majority of the overdue patients are for minor oculo-plastic procedures; access to which will be managed by a new oculo-plastic surgeon who commenced on 2 March 2020. Divisional Highlights for January/February 2020 Women’s Health Maternity There were 543 births at Middlemore and 49 at the community units making a total of 592 births for February 2020. This is down 4% compared to February 2019 but year to date births are almost at the same level as last year. Recruitment of midwifery staff continues through internal and external web-based advertising, agencies and universities. We have had great success this year recruiting 20 Auckland graduate midwives and all have been recruited to start employment at end April 2020. Fourteen further graduate midwives will start as Lead Maternity Carers in our community; a further 9 registered nurse have been offered positions in February, to start March/April. Current maternity bed capacity remains 54 bed (up from 45 this time last year). Stage Three of the 2018 Workforce and Bed Capacity Plan will be implemented by end June 2020, with 6 further transitional beds on level 4, and 5 gynaecology beds opening on Ward 21 with the potential to flex to 10 further gynaecology beds once full midwifery/nursing recruitment is achieved. Experienced registered nurses on Maternity South/Ward 21 have undertaken rotation to up skilled in gynaecology care ready for opening additional beds on Ward 21. Kidz First Kidz First volumes For the month of February 2020, ED attendances were 1,706 (prior year 1,757) – a 3% reduction; year to date attendances were 15,777 (prior year 16,614) – a 5% reduction. Year to date Paediatric Medicine discharges were 3,422 (a 3% decrease on the prior year) and total WIES were 1,867 (also a 3% reduction on prior year). Neonatal volumes For year to date February 2020, the total Neonatal WIES (i.e. Neonatal Unit and those babies graduating from Neonatal Unit to Postnatal ward and then discharged) are at 103% of the contract level, and 110% of the prior year. Discharges for Neonates from the postnatal area and the Neonatal Unit combined are at 106% of prior year. Occupancy and acuity in February in the Neonatal Unit has dropped compared to the previous months with an average of 89% (midnight count) occupancy, i.e. an average of 30 cots for the whole month against the 34 resourced cots. From March 2019 the region has continued to experience high demand. Daily liaison between all 4 units continues to ensure that all mothers and babies can remain in the northern region. Central Clinical Services Pharmacy All clinical teams have completed (or have plans to complete) an intervention snapshot day.
The team are working with existing stakeholders and collating feedback to make improvements to MedChart configuration and workflow to improve user experience.
Prescribing of MSC Gynaecology patients and fluids and balances successfully transferred onto MedChart.
Laboratory The Regional Laboratory Network development is progressing well with an initial focus on asset management and usage, the aim is to drive consistent testing quality, efficiency and value. Radiology The general x-ray waiting list is dropping rapidly through the outsourcing of 300 patients a week from November 2019 till mid-February 2020. Additionally, the new staff are also making a big impact. The list dropped from 4731 on 30th December to 2228 on 3rd February, and it continues to drop.
Coronavirus is on the increase. There is a shortage of swabs due to shipments from China and Italy being delayed. There may also be risks with obtaining reagents for coronavirus tests.

Mental Health Congratulations to our Wellness Support team on winning the NZ Primary Healthcare Award for Best Mental Health Programme. Dr Sophie Ball, lead for Primary Mental Health, CM Health and Pam Hewlett, Portfolio Manager for Mental Health and Addiction developed and implemented the Wellness Support model for Primary Mental Health at CM Health. They won the Habit Group Best Mental Health Programme at the NZ Primary Healthcare Awards on 29th February 2020. In February the Counties Manukau Board received an update on the Ministry of Health, Metro-Auckland, and CM Health response to-date to He Ara Oranga: Report of the Government Inquiry into Mental Health and Addiction. A copy of this report is available through the Diligent Resource Centre to keep HAC informed. Expanding the access to and choice of primary mental health and addiction support was a key need identified in the report. The Mental Health and Addiction Directorate within the Ministry of Health is currently implementing a programme to deliver on the Wellbeing Budget 2019 initiative: Expanding access to and choice of primary mental health and addiction services. The programme includes targeted funding for priority groups, including Maori, Pacific and Youth. The CMH Mental Health team is working actively to enhance every opportunity to increase and improve services for our community. Middlemore Central and Emergency Care COVID-19 – organisational planning and responding to the ever-changing case definitions and country classifications continues. Work is being done at a National, Regional and DHB level. The Northern Region Health Coordination Centre (NRHCC) has been set up to coordinate the northern region response in conjunction with the DHBs (Northland, Waitemata, Auckland and Counties Manukau). Staff from all sectors have been requested to assist by providing appropriate staff to be based out of the EOC at Auckland City Hospital Grafton Road. Industrial Action – APEX Laboratory strike action has been withdrawn.
Medicine & Integrated Care Faster Cancer Times FCT performance remains unachieved at 82%. On-going capacity constraints are access to theatre, outpatient clinics and oncology services. Tumour stream focus areas are on the gynaecology tumour stream, particularly the endometrial cancer pathway. The gynaecology service will be presenting further information to the board in April. ORL service for head and neck cancers are undertaking a deep dive review of their cancer pathway to understand the impact of changes already made and further areas for improvement opportunity and the associated resourcing requirements.
Average Length of Stay Average length of stay marginally reduced to 3.4 days during February from a material increase of 3.7 days in January 2020. The increase remains attributable primarily to an ongoing extended social admission of 151 days resulting from residential placement failure transferring into General Medicine following a medical event. The Corona virus outbreak may further adversely affect length of stay across Medicine in the coming months as a result of the impact of illness on already vulnerable patients and self-isolation measures that may be required for critical staffing groups such as medical staff. Nursing Recruitment February activity consolidated nursing recruitment to the FTE and skill mix required to support the transition to an acute medical model of care at 15 beds with capability to flex up to 20 as demand requires. One medical team continues to be home based in Ward 17 while ongoing recruitment progresses. Pandemic planning for Covid19 is underway incorporating options involving Ward 17 and more detailed planning continues to develop. Surgery, Anaesthesia and Perioperative Services (SAPS) The SAPS Division continues to recover from the White Island Eruption and are managing the remaining three patients, one New Zealand and two overseas patients. They are still not medically fit to be repatriated and

COVID-19 may also impact on their repatriation. All patients whose elective surgery was cancelled have had their surgery performed or have dates for their surgery. The division are also working cohesively in preparedness for COVID-19 management if / when spread occurs. Planned Care The impact of White Island had had a knock on effect on ESPI 2 and 5 patients who would have had surgery but were displaced by the rescheduling of cases cancelled during incident. The predication had been to recover by end of June / July, however the COVID-19 pandemic will most likely to impact this and if the virus becomes widespread there will be ongoing cancellations of surgeries. A number of services are ESPI 2 and or ESPI 5 compliant. Plastic and Gynaecology are doing well with ESPI 2 compliance followed closely by ORL with only the one breach this month. Urology remains the only service ESPI 5 compliant for February albeit ORL and Gynaecology only have single figure levels of breach. Positive variances continued for total planned care production. A higher than phased level of volumes completed in January helped recoup some of the December shortfall. The recovery from COVID-19 is unpredictable at this stage and will depend on the extent of the outbreak within New Zealand. For some months to come it is expected CM Health will still have red level of breaches with the continuing need to be balancing between those that need to be treated and addressing previous month’s breaches. The White Island disaster and the need to cancel significant amounts of elective surgery contributed to higher breach levels in many services but to some extent this was offset with the Mobile Surgical Bus availability around the same time, albeit for a different level of casemix. CM Health has now had 25 consecutive months with red ESPI. We however remain in a better position relative to many other DHBs around the country. Post Covid-19 restriction, Planned Care activities will require extensive review and management. Many services have long waiting lists which have not yet recovered from the White Island impact. Adult Rehabilitation and Health of Older People Acute Allied Health services went fax free in February 2020. Electronic referral forms are now being used. Early development of the Atrial Fibrillation (AF) smartphone app has begun. This will be a patient-facing education and information application for people who have started on anticoagulation medication to prevent strokes.

Commentary: By February we had still achieved good Measure 1 results but have serious levels of breaching in Measure 2 (FSAs) - elective assessment and treatment- this is mostly related to the White Island Response. Again we will be severely impacted by Covid-19 in this space. Commentary: Ophthalmology The number of people waiting for surgery at the end of February (785 patients) is similar to the previous month. There were 23 patients waiting longer than 120 days at the end of February 2020 but 12 were booked to have their surgery in early March 2020. The increase in patients waiting is due to the effect of the mega-clinics particularly very large clinics held in November 2019 with patients now falling into the more than 90 days late group. The majority of the overdue patients are for minor oculo-plastic procedures. A new oculo-plastic surgeon commenced on 2 March 2020. Cancer Treatment

YTD
July to February 2020 total WIES for Medical Services is 224 WIES higher than for the same periods in the last financial year.
o General Medicine YTD WIES and discharges are both higher than for the same 8-month period in the previous financial year.
o Cardiology, Endocrinology and Renal Medicine YTD also have higher total WIES. Discharges for Renal Medicine, Endocrinology and Haematology are correspondingly higher YTD and continue to be lower for Cardiology
o ALOS is very slightly higher YTD this financial year compared with the previous financial year with average WIES following the same trend.
Acute Surgical Activity February
Acute WIES for Surgical Services is lower than for January 2020 and lower than February 2019. o The decrease in WIES is a reflection of the 2 less days in the month compared with the previous
month. There is also a decrease in the number of patients presenting to EC who are ultimately discharged by Surgical Services.
All surgical specialties apart from Burns have had a decrease in WIES in February compared with the previous month, along with a decrease in discharges.
Average WIES is lower than for the previous month and lower than February 2019.
All specialties apart from the Hand Service have had a decrease in discharges when comparing to the same month in 2019.
February ALOS is 3.64 compared with 3.7 in January and 3.77 in February 2019. YTD
YTD WIES volumes are lower than for the same 8 months in the previous financial year. o General Surgery and Orthopaedics have lower WIES volumes compared with the previous year
and are contributing to the overall decrease for the service.
YTD discharges are 76.5% lower than for the same 8 months in the previous financial year.
YTD average WIES is slightly higher at 1.29 compared with 1.25 for July to February the previous financial year.
YTD ALOS is 3.75 compared with 3.63 for the previous financial year periods, influenced by the longer than normal LOS of the Burns patients in the last 2 months.
Elective Activity February
February elective WIES is higher than for January 2020. o Orthopaedics, General Surgery and Plastics have had an increase in WIES and discharges this
month compared with January 2020.
ALOS is 1.21 compared with 1.13 in January 2020.
Average WIES for February is 1.09 compared with 1.07 in January 2020 reflecting an increase in WIES and discharges for the February month.
YTD
YTD WIES is less than for the same 8 month period in the previous financial year. The YTD WIES volumes for the first 5 months had been higher this financial year than for the previous financial year but were then impacted on by the White Island event in December that resulted in deferred surgery for both December and January.
o Medical Services YTD elective WIES remains higher than for the same periods in the last financial year but has little impact on the results due to the small contribution the service makes to the overall elective WIES and discharge volumes.
YTD average WIES is 1.3 compared with 1.32 for the same periods the previous financial year.
YTD discharges are higher than for the same months the previous financial year however this has been influenced by the extra day in February this year.
YTD ALOS is 1.14, similar to the previous financial year at 1.15.

Planned Care YTD CMDHB and ADHB make up over 99% of the total planned care WIES volumes for the CMH population and therefore can be used to understand the actual delivery against target.
February YTD WIES volumes for the CMH population are 2.9% above target.
o This result is due to an over production by ADHB in ENT, Ophthalmology, Orthopaedics and
Urology services.
o CMDHB under delivered in Cardiology, ENT, Ophthalmology, and Plastics & Burns

Acute Demand –Beds and TBS
Jan 16 Acute bed availability is inadequate in times of peak demand. Patient volumes, surges and times taken to be seen mean we have been unable to meet the ED Waiting Time target.
Current volumes and bed capacity are matched however ED is still struggling with To Be Seen (TBS) by times. Work continues to mitigate.
Outpatient Demand
Jan 18 Increased referral inflow for outpatient care is challenging many services. Patient Flow- Every Hour Counts Project is addressing this beginning with the establishment of a Manukau site planning group.
The Ambulatory Flow work continues.
Theatre Access
Dec 2017 Shortage of Anaesthetists has impacted upon our ability to increase theatre access to run all theatres.
Recruitment is ongoing. Theatre cancellations related to the recruitment shortage are reducing.

Kidz First Neonatal Unit capacity
Apl 16 Average occupancy for February 2020 was 89% of the resourced capacity of 34 cots.
The ongoing neonatal unit demand and capacity issues remains on the organisation’s risk register, with monthly reviews in place.
Initiation of Neonatal paper for SLT, ELT has been completed – resourcing to 38 cots and provisional plan for additional cots (building).
Recruitment of nurses continues to be a focus. We have been very successful in recruiting 22 NETP nurses who will start across the Kidz First services (including Neonatal Unit) between January and April 2020. At the beginning of January 2020 we reached the budgeted FTE for the 19/20 year.
Regional Neonatal capacity continues to be under pressure
but generally a better month in February for ADHB and CMDHB. Weekly updates on capacity remain in place. Transitional care work i.e. graduates from the neonatal unit being reunited on the postnatal floor alongside mothers returning to facility prior to infants discharge is underway
Planned Appointments
May 19 Planned Expired Appointments increased by 12 to 861 in February (January was 849).
As part of the overall Ambulatory Flow project we have started the work with Ko Awatea on reviewing the Planned Expired Appointment data and processes.

Bowel Screening Programme
Jul 17 As of the end of February 2020, there have been 64,525 kits have been distributed, 1,435 positive FIT tests; 980 colonoscopies completed, out of which 816 of those patients had biopsies. 89 cancers have been diagnosed since the start of the programme.
The funding review with the MoH will be arranged in early 2020.
Bronchoscopy Oct 18 The number of patients waiting for bronchoscopy procedures has begun to rise again with fortnightly Saturday lists continuing to operate from the Endoscopy unit.
To maintain and create capacity for Bronchoscopy, fortnightly bronchoscopy lists have continued operating from the Gastroenterology Unit and will be increased to weekly Saturday lists (every second month) starting in March 2020. From April 2020 Respiratory locum sabbatical cover will provide some additional short-term SMO capacity for these Saturday Bronchoscopy lists.
Increased numbers patients requiring In-Centre Dialysis
The Renal Service has completed the change of self-care Satellite (MSC) patients with Rito 2 (MMH) dependent patients and associated staff. This was done primarily to create more in-centre capacity at the Satellite unit, but it also enables the lower dependency/self-care patients to co-locate with the home therapies area on the Western Campus by being dialysed in Rito 2.
Phase 2 recruitment for in-centre dialysis is well underway with a total of 3.3 FTE. The paperwork for a 0.9 FTE HCA position has just been completed. There is a 2.3 FTE for the RN position. Planning for a Home Therapies Hub at MSC continues, as part of the 5-10 year plan as a way to mitigate the growth in in-centre dialysis.
Local Delivery Medical Oncology
May 19 The regional Cancer Services Group (NRICS) has approved in principle the next stage for local delivery of medical oncology. This is now going through a series of groups regionally and locally for further discussion and approval. If approved it will mean that CMH patients with breast cancer will receive all of their medical oncology treatment at Middlemore and lessen the burden of travel for treatment at the Auckland Regional Cancer Services at ADHB.

Medical Staffing
Nov 2019 SMO recruitment remains ongoing with several contracts confirmed however new appointments are not planned to come on stream until later in the year. As a result significant FTE vacancies remain in the current period. Registrar vacancies also continue to be problematic to resolve and international recruitment is ongoing.
Morale amongst both the RMOs and General Medicine SMOs continues to improve as the roster changes bed in and provide for a more appropriate workload distribution across the medical teams.
Cardiology Demand
Nov 2019 Demand continues to outstrip the capacity of the cardiology service to deliver within acceptable clinical timeframes across the following areas:
Mitigations include the following:
Outsourcing of cardiac intervention is now occurring weekly with a review of the outsourced volumes planned
Outsourcing of Echocardiograms via contracting agency sonographers is planned to continue to June 2020 as the forecast shows this is the point where clinical timeframes will be met however if further industrial action occurs this will require review.

Central Clinical Services
Radiologist FTE
Sep 16 Currently we have 2.62 FTE of staff off on parental leave which impacts the department and we have worked hard on recruiting to fill vacancies. New SMOs are commencing at beginning of 2020. This will push us slightly over our budgeted FTE however the GM and CE have agreed that this is feasible as it is for a matter of months only.
We have some of our senior RMOs joining us in 2020 as junior SMOs. The future pipeline for SMOs looks good over the next 12 months.
General X-ray/MRT FTE
Sep16 The general x-ray waiting list is climbing again due to MRT shortages and we are planning outsourcing.
We forsee this waitlist being back on target by the end of February 2020.
Histopath Lab Mar 17 The Histopathology work programme remains on track. The design phase is complete and the Registration of Interest has been held for the main construction contractor.
The IANZ audit has been completed for the new Histopathology Lab and it is now fully accredited. This risk has now been fully resolved and has been removed from the risk register.
Mental Health
Challenges Reported Update March 2020 (Jan/Feb activity) Mitigation Strategies
CAMHS Growth in Service Demand - Te Puawaitanga, the Child & Adolescent Mental health team located at Springs Road, East Tamaki are struggling to meet service demands due to continued escalating clinical demands and decreased capacity. This has impacted service delivery, with lengthy delays occurring for young people waiting for treatment and a reduction in the number of therapeutic groups offered. The areas which continue to be difficult to recruit to and remain a significant concern are nursing and psychiatry. Work continues with the Recruitment Department to strategize various approaches to assist with attracting suitable candidates. One of these strategies has been to positively promote the profile of current team members on CMH Facebook page and across other social media platforms.
Focus on recruitment – locally, nationally and internationally. In October the team had a 61.5% vacancy rate (with 16.5fte in post out of funded total 42.8fte). As of end of February 2020, the vacancy rate is 42.8%, with 24.5 fte now in post and a further 6 fte joining the team between March and June this year.

Workforce Recruitment
Across the CM Health MH&A division there continues to be areas with significant workforce recruitment and retention issues. Intake and assessment is another team that is experiencing high vacancies and is working to ensure an acute response is able to be provided across CM Health.
Although there has been a significant improvement in the staffing numbers, which has assisted with team morale and service delivery, it is important to acknowledge that a number of the new staff are relatively junior in their career and some are new to the Child & Youth service.

Surgery, Anaesthesia Perioperative Services
Demand for Ophthalmology Services
Jul16 The number of people waiting for surgery at the end of February (785 patients) is similar to the previous month. There were 23 patients waiting longer than 120 days at the end of February 2020 but 12 were booked to have their surgery in early March 2020. The increase in patients waiting is due to the effect of the mega-clinics particularly very large clinics held in November 2019 with patients now falling into the more than 90 days late group. The majority of the overdue patients are for minor oculo-plastic procedures. A new oculo-plastic surgeon commenced on 2 March 2020.
We continue with weekend and extra clinics to manage the volumes. Recruitment of new staff is also ongoing.
Anaesthetists’ shortage
Oct 17 Electronic rostering is running side by side with existing Excel rostering. The eRoster is now accessible remotely on mobiles in 2 formats – by week/theatre/specialty/surgeon and by week/anaesthetist/theatre/specialty/surgeon
Two Fixed term SMOs were employed to start early in 2020. These additions will off-set some of our shortfall in SMOs. An additional Fellow is commencing in October 2020 slightly outside the standard cohort but hope that this is a pre-cursor to a full time position sometime in 2021.
CSSD Staffing Nov 18 Recruitment continues Upgrade to version 15 of T-Doc occurred -no issues.
Elective performance is under threat
Oct 17 A number of services are ESPI 2 and or ESPI 5 compliant. Plastic and Gynaecology are doing well with ESPI 2 compliance followed closely by ORL with only the one breach this month. Urology remains the only service ESPI 5 compliant for February albeit ORL and Gynaecology only have single figure levels of breach.
ESPIs will be severely impacted by Covid. There will need to be a long recovery.

Progress Report on Disability Action Plan
Recommendation It is recommended that the combined subcommittees (HAC, CPHAC and DiSAC): Receive this progress report on the disability action plan.
Prepared and submitted by: Sanjoy Nand, Chief of Allied Health, Scientific & Technical Profession
Purpose The purpose of this paper is the provide the Board subcommittees an update on the progress made by Counties Manukau Health (CM Health) on work in the disability space. CM Health Specific Action Plan In December 2019, CM Health developed a 3 year Disability Action Plan. This plan is currently in draft and will be presented to the regional DiSAC for approval. The action plan builds on the 19-20 action plan (previously presented) and draws from the Regional Disability Strategy Implementation plan. Areas of focus include:
Staff training and development;
Increase use and awareness of Health Passport;
Improving accessibility - accessible facilities;
Using co-design and universal design principles in all new facilities and service design;
Progress Accessibility Tick programme;
Increase employment of disabled people with health care services;
Webpage for Disability;
Include disability in our equity strategy;
Improve accessibility of information for disable people. Accessibility Tick CM Health was awarded the Accessibility Tick in December 2019. The Accessibility Tick is a recognition of the commitment CM Health is making to improving employment opportunities for disabled people. There is work currently underway to develop processes and systems to support the aim of the Accessibility Tick programme. Annual Plan The draft 20-21 annual plan includes objectives that aim to deliver the actions contained in the 3 year disability action plan. These include:
Development of a disability action plan - completed in draft;
Increase disability awareness and training of staff - in place - Basic Disability Responsiveness training is now mandatory for all new staff. To date 1,330 staff have undertaken this training;
Increase training of managers - this is to enable us to support staff with disabilities and encourage and improve opportunities for employment of disabled people - see progress below.

Improving Systems and Processes to Support Employment of Disabled People Progress is being made on actions to improve systems and processes to support employment opportunities for disabled people. Cathy Qin, Organisation Development Consultant, was assigned to lead the employment related work for accessibility within CM Health. Recruitment: We are partnering with Workbridge to explore opportunities and have had introductory meetings. Job Advertisements: Recruitment advertising has been updated to convey we are an organisation committed to employing people with a disability. Careers Webpage: It now communicates CM Health as an organisation with the Accessibility Tick and the corresponding commitment to people with disabilities. Interviewing Template: Updated to include a question about support/accommodation. Training for Hiring Managers: Reviewed managers training for recruiting; ‘Recruiting for Results’ workshop and the e-learning module. Developed 3 disability scenarios that can be applied during interview and selection training Data: Exploring ways to collect data on number of disabled people employed COVID-19 Communications We have taken active steps to improve the ability to communicate important messages to the disability community. The CM Health external webpage includes sections for information that is readily accessible for Easy Read and Sign Language Videos. This is information created by MOH, and we have included clear links to enable people with disabilities to access this easily. We also have been providing messages in simple language and in large font. Where we have created videos to communicate messages, we are including subtitles in English and have been also exploring the translation of the messages in sign language. Ensuring Continuity of Services for People with Disabilities during the Pandemic Our planning includes business continuity for services that we currently provide to the disabled community including services that provide home-based supports. There is regional and national planning that is working to ensure the various providers of disability services have contingency plans for continued support to disabled people. Further details will be given in the verbal report.
