1.2 Minutes of the Part I meetings 9th July 2014
1.2.1
The Chair took matters of accuracy and matters arising together. The minutes of the meeting of 9th July 2014 were approved as an accurate record of the meeting
1.3 Part I Action Log
1.3.1 1.3.2 1.3.3 1.3.4
CCG49 – Development of IT systems permitting GPs access to updated children at risk data – still awaiting automatic updates from LBN on the spine. No new date. S Milner agreed to chase up on behalf of LBN and Dr L Goodyear undertook to raise the issue at the next Safeguarding meeting, as well as consider how the Out of Hours service would access the same data. CCG55 – Develop Cluster risk registers – The Chair reported that an email had been circulated to the Board advising that all clusters now have a risk register where identified risks at cluster meetings are entered into the risk log. Risks are discussed with risk owner and actions for mitigating discussed. Risks which may require attention at the cluster leads meeting are collated and taken to this meeting so a cluster leads the risk log. CCG61 – Relationship with LBN in terms of being partners or stakeholders within governance arrangements – S Gilvin and K Bromley-Derry, LBN’s Chief Executive, would be progressing this item jointly with a presentation to the Board at its October development session. Board agreed to close the action. CCG96 – Letter to Bart’s on colorectal closure – has been sent by the Quality Committee and a response received. S Gilvin also reported that he had, as the Board had requested, held provisional discussions with Homerton hospital on a possible alternative permanent provision of the service should this eventually be considered the way forward. Board agreed to close the action.
1.4 Chairs Actions
1.4.1 1.4.2
The Chair advised the Board that there were no Chairs actions to report. The Chair advised the Board that at Practice Council BHT had presented an explanation of their actions concerning the colorectal service closure as well as advising of the potential of developing both a Breast Clinic and the expansion
9
1.4.3 1.4.4 1.4.5 1.4.6 1.4.7 1.4.8
of high volume short stay clinics at Newham Hospital. The Chair advised that the CCG Board had met with BHT Board on 3rd September which had been extremely positive, had discussed issues relating to finance, Newham Hospital and future communications arrangements with a view to a further meeting in December. The Chair advised that the CCG had met with senior clinicians from Newham Hospital at a Newham Clinical Forum and encouraged clinical members of the Board to attend future meetings. Dr A Gopinathan expressed some concern that as yet the CCG had not had sight of a plan from BHT on the reintroduction of colorectal surgery. S Gilvin advised that no decision had, as yet, been taken on colorectal cancer services and that the CCG was still awaiting proposals for that particular pathway. Dr E Goodyear advised that the message from the Board to Board meeting with BHT had been clearly that the CCG was being asked to recognise that the Trust operated in a broader healthcare system than just Newham and that the Board needed to work in a more collaborative manner with the trust in order to avoid a situation where NHSE might feel it was more appropriate to deal with the financial issues BHT faced by way of intervention. Dr J Lawrie advised that whilst he agreed it was important to recognise BHT’s role in a wider health economy, the CCG should bear in mind that hospitals had some history of claiming that changes to a specific service might result in an overall collapse of services as a technique for not implementing change. P Hendrick stated that the Board should retain its focus on the specific requirements that Newham, as a single client, requires much in the same way a large corporation would aim to meet the specific needs on its clients in the private sector. The report was noted
1.5 Chief Officer’s Report
10
1.5.1
S. Gilvin introduced a verbal report updating Board on:
• Everyone Counts guidance – that the CCG had met with Clusters and agreed a way forward
• Operational resilience – that winter monies will be released to the CCG in September
• Bettercare Fund – that a final joint submission with LBN to NHSE will be made on 19th September with the only issue being that the submission will need to explain why the 3.5% emergency admission target was not appropriate to Newham.
• That a contract query notice had been served on BHT at the end of July requesting a recovery plan for finance activity and data, patient transport and SI reporting, RTT performance and Cerner upgrade issues at Whips Cross Hospital , and that performance on these areas was being monitored fortnightly.
• That detail of the Five-Year plan continued to be discussed between the CCG collaborative and NHSE and that a revised plan will be submitted to Board in November for approval.
The report was noted
2. Patient and Public Engagement 2.1. Questions

2.1.1
There were no questions to the Board.
3. Strategic items for Approval 3.1
3.1.1 3.1.2 3.1.3
Commissioning Intentions 2015-16 . C. Vyas introduced a report for decision asking Board to agree the timeline and process for considering new commissioning intentions for 2015-16. C. Vyas advised that a total 115 commissioning ideas were generated which were reviewed resulting in 72 being rejected for variety of reasons leaving 43 ideas that were developed into 36 scoping papers. These were reviewed by Executive Committee on 27 August 2014. The Committee requested that 20 proceed to Business Case stage with no commitment at this stage for further detailed information and suggested that the rejected 16 scoping papers be referred to Commissioning Committees / Transformation Programmes for project development. C Vyas advised that a two stage Gateway process is being developed for Business Cases with Gateway 1 being 30th September 2014 and Gateway 2 31st October 2014 and that a Board Development session would be used for a further update in November 2014 with the intention to provide a final update to the Board in December 2014 for approval. H Trotter sought clarification on whether those cases originally rejected were as a result of clarifying that the service already existed within an existing contract. C Vyas advised that this was the case in relation to some proposals that had been put forward from the Clusters and that clearly the learning for the CCG was a requirement to more clearly communicate to Practices the
12
3.1.4 3.1.5
existing content of contracts as part of this process. Dr E. Goodyear remarked that the process compared with 2013 had been a lot clearer and well managed and that this was a visible sign of the CCG maturing. S Gilvin reminded the Board that commissioning intentions letters would be signed off by Committee Chairs, noting that Dr E Goodyear would get oversight of all matters relating to children and maternity prior to issue. The Board approved;
• The process and timeline for 2015-16 Commissioning intentions
3.2 3.2.1 3.2.2 3.2.3 3.2.4 3.2.5
Newham CCG Gifts, Hospitality and Anti-Bribery Policy S Sanghera introduced a report for decision asking the Board to approve an organisational Gifts, hospitality and anti-bribery policy, explaining that the purpose of the policy was to provide guidance to staff and office holders on the action that can, or should, be taken in the event that they are offered gifts and/or hospitality, making it clear where the boundaries of acceptable conduct lie and to protect the property and finances of the NHS and of patients in the CCG’s care. S Sanghera advised that the Audit Committee had already reviewed the policy and in particular had enquired about the relationship specifically with pharmaceutical companies and the receipt of small hand-out gifts at conferences and lunches concluding that; • Overall, for small gifts that can be picked up at stalls, there was no reason to declare. • Best practice was, however, to always err on the side of caution and if in doubt declare. • Where any patterns of companies continuing to invite the same specific CCG members exists then most certainly declare. • Where an individual feels that the offer of refreshments or small gifts feels receipt is contingent on implicit favour, again declare. • That the CCG should consider the policy as applicable to co-optees as well as paid staff, Clinical Leads, Cluster Leads or Board members. S Sanghera advised that overall, the Audit Committee felt that the policy was appropriate and should be presented to Board for approval and implementation as soon as possible thereafter, also reminding Board that in January all Board members, clinical and cluster leads had attended a session on the Bribery Act and a further session would be scheduled for 2015. Dr S Sutton sought clarification on lunches provided by pharmaceutical companies at CCG events. S Sanghera advised that it was for officers to have arranged the meeting and take into account the policy when doing so but the key issue was whether there might be a perceived relationship between any hospitality and procurement. Dr S Sutton advised that it was his view that therefore it was probably inappropriate for such companies to in fact be present CCG events. S Gilvin advised that he would ask S Sanghera to arrange a presentation to
13
the Medicines Management Transformation Programme on the interpretation of gifts and hospitality guidance in relation pharmaceutical companies (Action CCG101 – Arrange presentation to MMTP – S Sanghera) The Board approved;
• The Newham CCG Gifts, Hospitality and Anti-Bribery Policy
3.3 3.3.1 3.3.2
Newham CCG Organisational Development (OD) Strategy C Vyas introduced a report for decision asking Board to approve an organisational OD Strategy explaining that four headline priorities were proposed:
• Excellent clinical and management leadership in health for Newham and its communities
• A clear vision, brought to life • A well-tuned delivery engine • A system for continuous learning and development
C Vyas clarified the strategy did not cover issues relating to primary care development, and that the CCG Management Team felt it had the capacity to deliver the strategy because much of the work was not about doing something new, only changing the way in which development was delivered and that a development officer was now in post to support the process. The Board approved; • The Newham CCG Organisational Development Strategy
3.4 3.4.1 3.4.2 3.4.3
Care Quality Commission (CQC) Inspection of health services for Looked After Children and Safeguarding - Action Plan S. Gilvin introduced a report for decision asking the Board to approve the Action Plan that had been agreed with stakeholders and submitted to the CQC as a result of review of health services for Looked After Children and Safeguarding in Newham. Dr J Lawrie requested that the CCG ensured systems were in place that were robust enough to capture all electronic information automatically from the GP record that would be relevant from a safeguarding perspective explaining his concern was that if a problem occurs around Child protection, safeguarding or other issues the GP may be found at fault for failing to comply with this requirement. Dr J Lawrie advised that a way to deal with this would be to be very specific about the exact data needed but ideally that the system automatically uploaded the data needed into a referral form. Dr S Sutton raised concern about the fact that communication from the Local Authority child assessment & safeguarding team was generally poor, often using a generic template that did not correctly report the level of concerns raised (i.e. Child in Need as opposed to Child Protection) which also could omit signed consent or, if relevant, the fact that parents have declined to consent to sharing information. Dr E Goodyear advised this issue was under review in her capacity as clinical lead for Children and Maternity with C Vyas as Safeguarding Lead and this would be addressed through the joint Health
14
3.4.4 3.4.5 3.4.6 3.4.7
Safeguarding group that reports to the CCG Quality Committee. It was agreed a report back could be made on progress. (Action CCG102 – provide assurance that communication systems with Social Services for such cases are under review – C Vyas) Dr B Kohli and Dr E Goodyear advised that recommendation 1.1 recommending a review of current information sharing protocols provided an opportunity to prioritise the data sharing agenda across the health sector and required the Board to provide high level support on the priority of primary and community care IT integration, stating that IT requirements should therefore be a key priority within the response to the CQC’s recommendations. C Vyas confirmed that the CCG would be using relevant Commissioning Intentions letters in September to enforce that data sharing was a key priority for the CCG. C Vyas reminded the Board that the action plan being considered was not a draft and had already been signed off with the CQC advising that the CCG would ensure anything outside the scope of the Action plan could be addressed through the Joint Health Safeguarding Group (Action CCG103 –ensure issues relating to 1.2 of report are addressed through the Joint Health Safeguarding Group – C Vyas) S. Gilvin added that the requirement to agree the Action Plan prior to the Board Meeting was unfortunately driven by the CQC’s response timetable, although there was nothing to prevent the CCG from considering further actions required to enhance service delivery that the Board felt appropriate. The Board approved; • The Care Quality Commission (CQC) Inspection of health services for
Looked After Children and Safeguarding Action Plan
3.5 3.5.1 3.5.2 3.5.3
Transforming Services Changing Lives (TSCL) – Interim Case for Change S Gilvin introduced a report for decision asking Board to approve an Interim Case for Change noting that a final report will be submitted to Newham together with Tower Hamlets and Waltham Forest CCGs Boards in November for final approval. S Gilvin advised that the programme had been established by commissioners and providers in East London to enable joint planning of services to address the shared challenges that the NHS faced and that the first phase of the programme developed an Interim Case for Change which had focused on looking at the quality, performance and arrangement of existing services, what was best practice and the challenges facing services. S Gilvin advised that as a result of discussions held within forums in Newham the Board was being asked to approve the following principles: • Primary Care - That a clinically-led forum should be established to
consider the implications for primary care particularly in relation to resources, workforce, ICT and infrastructure to enable primary care to fulfil such an expanded role.
• Newham University Hospital - That the CCG’s engagement in the work of
15
3.5.4 3.5.5 3.5.6 3.5.7 3.5.8
the TSCL programme in redesigning pathways of cares should be based on the principles and services that the Board approved should exist at its December 2013 meeting.
• Digital Technology – That the CCG commits to revolutionising the patient experience through the use of digital technology to drive sharing of records and to ensure diagnostic tests are easily accessible both in terms of clinicians viewing the test results and ease of access for patients to the tests.
Dr Sutton suggested that at this stage the in principle proposals of the TSCL programme were to be welcomed but that the real issue was what this meant in terms of translation into practical measures in terms of proposals for funding and local implementation. Dr P Chandra stated that the TSCL programme was to be supported but that the case for change should state that there would be a local programme for its delivery in Newham. S Gilvin reconfirmed a recognition that whilst the programme recognised the merit in collaborative models of care that thereafter it was recognised that there would have to be local, site specific implementation. S Gilvin reminded the Board that primacy in relation to the TSCL programme remained with the Board and not with a North East Group of CCGs, although he agreed to ensure that the Interim Case for Change would include a paragraph relating to local delivery. (Action CCG104 - Include paragraph on local delivery in the Interim Case for Change – S Gilvin) H Trotter requested confirmation that a Practice Nurse was on the Primary Care Forum and that consideration be given to the inclusion of a Practice Manager on the same group. (Action CCG105 – confirm inclusion of Practice Nurse on Primary Care Forum and that consideration to Practice manager also joining group is being made – S Gilvin) Dr B Kohli agreed to assist S Gilvin in revising the wording of the Interim Case for Change in relation to digital technology. The Board approved; The Transforming Services Changing Lives Interim Case for Change
3.6 3.6.1
Newham CCG Board Assurance Framework (BAF) – Month 5 S Sanghera introduced a report for decision asking Board to approve the revised format of the BAF risk summaries, approve the risk status of the BAF and note updates to actions and risk ratings. The Board approved;
• The risk status of the BAF • Noted updates to actions and risk ratings.
3.7
3.7.1
NCCG Finance – Month 4 Report C. Whitton introduced a report recommending to Board the approval of the
16
3.7.2 3.7.3 3.7.4 3.7.5 3.7.6 3.7.7 3.7.8
current (month 4) CCG accounts. C. Whitton advised the Board that the significant issue for consideration was the overperformance of acute spending and in fact that initial data for month 5 now projected a £13,300,000 overperformamce of which some £10,000,000 related to BHT, meaning that his advice to the Board was that the evidence for a significant year-end Acute overperformance was likely. C Whitton advised that current reserves had been set aside to cover this eventuality and, whilst a challenging position, at this stage the overperformance did not put at risk any existing proposals any other proposed commitments for the year but that should the position deteriorate at a rate more significantly than at current the Board may have to consider changes to its currently proposed programme. C Whitton advised that the month 5 Report would provide more specific detail on the drivers of Acute overperformance with significantly more detail than usual given the identified risk. C Whitton reported that QIPP savings remained, overall, on target although e not aligned to current individual target areas. S Gilvin added that initial indications were that overperformance was being driven by urgent care and non-elective surgery costs. DR B Kohli commented that a further significant change in forecast related to BMI spend and C Whitton advised that Finance staff would be reviewing this data with the Clusters. Dr M Naqvi advised that he would be working with CCG staff to ensure that the financial data resulting from the Urgent care Centre activity was as accurate as possible. The Board approved;
• The Month 4 financial report.
3.8 3.8.1 3.8.2 3.8.3
NCCG Quality – Month 4 Report C. Vyas introduced a report recommending Boarding the approval of the CCG’s Quality Report relating to Month 4 RAG (Red, Amber and Green) ratings for Bart’s Health and ELFT. C. Vyas advised the Board that a summary of the Red risk indicators for BHT was; • Serious Incidents overdue 6 months or more • Mixed Sex Accommodation • Amber Alerts actioned within 10 working days • MRSA • Friends and Family Test C. Vyas advised the Board that a summary of the Red risk indicators for ELFT was;
17
3.8.4 3.8.5 3.8.6
• Serious Incidents overdue by 6 months or more • Adult Community DNA rates • Adult inpatient re-admissions within 28 days C Vyas confirmed to Dr A Gopinathan that there were financial penalties associated with Serious Incidents C Vyas advised the Board of the decision to permit ELFT to trial responses to amber alerts within ten as opposed to five working days on the basis that the quality of the response would improve. Vyas advised the Board of the quality matters relating to the Barts Health Contract Query Notice previously referred to in the Chief Officer update as follows: Serious Incidents - 91 originally overdue - At 21 Aug this has been reduced to 55 (does not include Maternity) - Total clearance agreed by 30 Sept with Collaborative Commissioners based on the Remedial Action Plan - Project initiated between Newham CCG, Tower Hamlets CCG and Waltham Forest CCG led by Director of Nursing, Quality and Governance at WFCCG on behalf of the Barts Health Collaborative Commissioners to manage the appropriate closure and review of all SIs - All cases closed are being reviewed individually by the Director of Nursing, Quality and Governance - All maternity Sis will be reviewed on 11 Sept - Each CAG has a SOP agreed re managing Sis which was not on place previously - A Remedial Action Plan has been developed which will be closely monitored Patient Transport - Barts Health went from 14 Service Providers to one Provider post-merger - Change agreed prior to the Independent Panels to sign off CIPS at Barts Health in 2014 - GP Practices and other Providers raised this issue with Newham CCG and it became apparent this was part of a larger issue across the patch covered by Barts Health - Raised formally at Barts Health CQRM meetings to improve quality for patients – assurances provided however slow progress to remedy quality concerns - Serious Incidents formally raised and all have been reviewed against a clinical harm matrix - This position was stabilised by the end of July with some outstanding issues remaining for renal services. This situation has greatly improved during August - Commissioners not assured subsequently led to a formal CQN - A Remedial Action Plan has been developed and approved by Commissioners which will be closely monitored

Action required: The Board is asked to :
• Note the quantitative and qualitative executive summaries, attached in appendix A
• Agree the proposed methodology to be followed by the evaluation group in next steps and future ambition
• Agree to receive an options appraisal paper at November board.
Executive summary:
A review of the evidence published to date suggests that the Newham Community Prescription (NCP) is an innovative option to improve upon current challenges experienced across Newham with regards to improving physical activity levels and healthy eating behaviours. Utilising the 3rd Sector community groups has proved successful in engaging with Newham’s ethnically diverse community, which previous approaches have failed to do. The experience of the CCG and the national direction of travel strongly support an integrated approach across the health and social care sector to meet the long term conditions challenges of the future.

How does this fit with Newham CCG Strategy:
The Newham Community prescription is aligned to the Newham Clinical Commissioning Group (NCCG) priority: ‘To improve patient experience and better manage demand, the CCG will join up local primary, community and acute care services to help people prevent and manage long term conditions, promote resilience and independence’. NCCG identified the delivery of the NCP as a key strategic objective; it is also a vital component of its Patient and Public Engagement (PPE) Strategy, a major contribution to the joint Health and Well Being Strategy and LBN resilience strategy; The single CCG value and aim which best described this initiative are as follows: Value: Working with our partners to improve health outcomes Aim: Improving health outcomes through developing models of integrated care and focusing on prevention

Risk: Chronic long term conditions continue to be a challenge for Newham, which
has some of the highest incidences in the country and many patients are presenting at an earlier age than in other parts of London and England1 An integrated approach across all stakeholders in the borough including the 3rd sector organisations is required as this challenge is set to worsen over the next 2-5 years.

presented in the options appraisal should the board agree to progress.
Stakeholder engagement:
Clinical engagement in the development of the NCP began in February 2012, as part of the McKinsey supported board development programme and presentation to the 2012 NHS Confederation Conference. Further extensive engagement was undertaken within the PPE domain of the CCG authorisation process together with the National Patient Champions Network Launch (Dec 2011) and a Diabetes Education Consultation event (March 2012). A wider consultation workshop with key stakeholders (including UEL, WHUFC, co-production forum, public health and LBN) was held in September 2012 and endorsed the concept and strategy. At the beginning of the Newham Community Prescription pilot it was agreed to undertake evaluation at the conclusion of the pilot. The CCG commissioned the University of East London to conduct both a quantitative and qualitative evaluation. The evaluation exercises undertaken by University of East London involved interviews with patients, practitioners and stakeholders.
Financial Implications
This innovative approach does present elements of risk on account of certain academic studies which the review highlights. However through partnering with a number of stakeholders including London Borough of Newham the CCG would be reducing that risk. A financial modelling exercise will be undertaken to identify any savings in the system that can be realised, and ensure the assumptions from published evidence holds true.
1.0 Introduction
1.1 1.2 1.3 1.31
The NCP pilot project sought to explore an innovative approach to prevent or delay the onset of diabetes locally by equipping primary care clinicians’ with ‘prescribing solutions’ that connects patients with new community based services to help them embrace healthier life style choices and health promoting behaviours. Following the completion of the NCP pilot, a task and finish evaluation group comprising GPs, NCCG officers and LBN was formed to undertake a comprehensive review of the community prescription pilot and develop an options appraisal for the CCG board to consider. Background In 2012/13 there were 20,645 people aged 17 years and older diagnosed with diabetes in NHS Newham CCG, with the prevalence of both recorded and modelled estimated being significantly greater than both London and England, as illustrated below: Chart 2 below compares the prevalence of diabetes in NHS Newham CCG with the cluster group* and England as a whole.

*(Grouping of CCGs that have similar characteristics: the blue group has a very high young population with a high proportion of Black and ethnic groups and high levels of deprivation.) Diabetes is a serious life-long condition, which reduces life expectancy by up to 10 years in type 2 patients2. Newham is reported to have some of the highest incidences of long term conditions in the country and many people are presenting with long term conditions at an earlier age than other parts of London and England.3 Diabetes projections for England show the numbers rising by two thirds within the next 10 years. With Newham’s diverse population and high deprivation rates the growth locally will be higher than the English average. In Newham we are currently observing 1800 new diabetes and 1000 new pre-diabetes diagnoses per year. A CEG audit held in August 2014 found there are now 8994 people in Newham in primary care coded as having ‘pre-diabetes’ (includes both recorded and HbA1c in range of 42-47.) Newham CCG spent a total of £6.1m on prescriptions for diabetes items between April 2012 and March 2013. This was equivalent to £297.024 per adult with diabetes. From studying chart 3below the projected diagnosed diabetics can be seen to increase over the next 2-5 years reaching just under 30,000 by 2019 and the projected prescribing costs could reach just below £9 million by 2019. This projection is not including the costs for non-elective diabetic complications, outpatients and other associated activities.

Physical Activity Evidence
2.1 2.2 2.3 2.4 2.5 2.6
Physical Activity is very cost effective for health gain. Below compares the cost per QALY for physical activity interventions with smoking cessation and primary prevention for statins. Quality Adjusted Life Year (QALY) is an estimate of a person's life expectancy coupled with an estimation of the person's future quality of life. A year of perfect health is worth 1 and a year of less than perfect health is worth less than 1. The QALY itself cannot tell you if a treatment provides value for money. Instead, we combine the QALY for a new medicine with the cost of the new medicine. This produces a ratio called the cost per QALY. The cost per QALY shows how many extra quality adjusted life years the new medicine gives and how much extra it costs compared with the current treatment. This enables clinicians and commissioners to judge if a ‘new intervention ‘is good value for money’ Each cost per QALY costs can be compared below67:
• £17,000 for Statin supplement • £9,515 for smoking cessation • £440 for physical activity
Physical activity improves control of blood glucose in type 2 diabetes mellitus due to improved insulin sensitivity. This may enable reduction and even discontinuation of medication in a substantial proportion of patients.i ii iii iv

Either aerobic or resistance training improves glycaemic control (measured with HbA1c) in type 2 diabetes mellitus, but the improvements are greatest when combined with aerobic and resistance training.v High sugar levels in the blood can lead to conditions such as diabetes. Blood sugar levels can be measured through glycated haemoglobin (HbA1c); a protein within red blood cells that carries oxygen. Exercise programmes can reduce HbA1c levels by approximately 0.6% as well as reducing body fat; adipose tissue and triglyceride levels.vi There is strong and consistent evidence that the incidence and progression of type 2 diabetes mellitus can be reduced with physical activity in people with impaired glucose tolerance (pre-diabetes) and that the effects are independent of weight lossvii. In a meta-analysis,viii regular physical activity halved the risk of developing diabetes (hazard ratio = 0.49). This compares favorably to diet only (HR = 0.67), but identical to combined diet and exercise (HR 0.49).In the same study, numbers needed to treat (NNT) to prevent a case of diabetes were 6.4 for diet and exercise, 10.8 for anti-diabetic medication (e.g. metformin). Much of the increase in type-2 diabetes in Newham is due to rising rates of obesity, sedentary lifestyles, dietary trends and an ageing population (YHPO 2010). However lifestyle interventions targeting these risk factors have been shown to reduce its incidence by about 50% amongst high risk individuals. (Gillies et al 2007). NICE guidance (PH38 2012) on identifying people at high risk of type-2 diabetes and preventing or delaying its onset states that this group should be reviewed at least annually and provided with appropriate education and lifestyle interventions. A combination of both diet and exercise was shown to have more effect than either diet or exercise alone.
4.0 Key Evaluation Findings-Quantitative 4.1 4.2 4.3 4.4
The NCP pilot (need to state sample size) was successful in increasing physical activity and improving mental well-being for previously inactive diabetic and pre-diabetic individuals who attended 12 weeks of physical activity. The primary outcome measures for this study were mental wellbeing, measured using the Warwick-Edinburgh Mental Well-being Scale (WEMWBS) and physical activity measured using the International Physical Activity Questionnaire – Short Form (IPAQ-SF). There was a 35% (27% to 62%) increase in the number of people who have reached the Government recommended levels of activity of 150 minutes per week.8 From studying table 1 below, comparing the NCP against other documented interventions, it shows that 35% is on the higher end of the range in terms of impact.

Table 2: Increase in Wellbeing with the Newham Community Prescription It is also important to consider the implications of physical activity for co-morbidities in participants. Almost half of the participants in the sample were living with a diagnosis of either hypertension (40.9%) or coronary heart disease (7.6%). Physical activity levels in people with diabetes have important positive implications for some of these co-morbidities, particularly hypertension (Semlitch et al 2013) and heart disease (Bird, 2013).
5.0 Qualitative Findings 5.1 5.1.1
Three key areas for policy and commissioning consideration were identified in the qualitative evaluation:
o More effective communication between stakeholders o Increasing completion rates o Long-term sustainability of Newham Community Prescribing
More effective communication between stakeholders: The evaluation group agreed that improvements could be made to improve communication and efficiencies made in procedures used. The evaluation highlighted the need for a longer pre-intervention period in order to put in place the basis for effective communication between CCG, GP practices, navigators, managing organisation, and delivery organisations which is at the basis of the success of any Social Prescribing initiative (Simmons et al, 2013). Clear communication can be achieved by clearly specifying roles and responsibilities, particularly in the relationship between all stakeholders. This will be adopted in any future initiative.
27
5.2 5.2.1 5.2.2 5.2.3 5.3 5.3.1 5.3.2
Increasing completion rates The evaluation underlined the importance on investment in ‘navigators’ as a future option to consider for improving completion, as evidence shows that they play a key role in the referral process (Brandling and House, 1997; Friedli et al 2012). The group acknowledged how further consideration should be made to this resource to increase contact with patients to ensure that a range of issues such as inappropriate referrals, and any patient’s issue with physical activity classes can quickly be addressed, and thus retention of participants secured. It was suggested that any future community prescription initiative could consider the support from volunteers, particularly when these are people who have completed the intervention and can help to promote the programme as ‘champions’ Furthermore the report cited the following factors: cost, type of activities, location, timing and age/status of groups targeted, when seeking to increase the number of completions. The evaluation group have noted these points and are looking to capitalise on the current partnership project with Morgan Stanley to utilise the professional expertise form the private sector particularly with regards to supporting 3rd groups around financial models for full cost recovery. Long-term sustainability of Newham Community Prescribing The evaluation raised the challenge which the NCP pilot has attempted to address the chronic lack of finance available to third sector organisations for the delivery of health and social services, highlighting the strategy based on funding ‘following the patient’ and paying organisations on the basis of number of physical activity classes is an innovative and crucial element that could secure the sustainability of social prescribing. It was reported that some of the groups within the pilot experienced challenges around full cost recovery. Similarly, participants reported that they could not afford paying physical activity classes in full, although there were some respondents who had effectively carried on after the end of the pilot and paid for physical activity classes in full. The report suggested a payment mechanism on a sliding scale starting from full subsidy which will encourage 3rd sector groups to maximise the number of people attending physical activity classes to a lower level which will partly subsidise the intervention encouraging providers to support part of the cost or charge participants, but still retaining a very competitive rate. This will be further investigated as part of the Morgan Stanley partnership. The intended outputs will be to support 3rd sector organisations to identify gaps in their resources, business processes and development strategies
6.0 Next Steps 6.1 6.1.1
The evaluation group reached agreement that based on the evaluation results and in the interests of equity; the NCP should be ‘opened up’ to enable the whole community access to the benefits that a Newham Community Prescription Scheme can offer.. The group has identified the following steps for the board to consider:
28
6.2 6.3 6.4 6.4.1 6.4.2 6.4.3
• To understand the scale in terms of numbers of patients involved should the
community prescription seek to expand across all Long Term Conditions, as well defined cohorts such as Mental health, Obesity, Hypertension, and Pre-diabetics modelling
• From this analysis further financial modelling should focus on a defined cohort of a scale that capacity could be met and would be financially sustainable for the CCG.
• Provide a number of options for the board to consider in November At this stage, certain assumptions have been made around costing, based on NICE guidance and the Community Prescription pilot. Additional work is underway with the CCG partnering with Morgan Stanley and the Stay-well partnership to better understand full cost recovery of activities that can be provided by third sector organisations in the future. This will be used to inform future funding models, should the board agree to progress with the community prescription. In addition it is recognised that with the expansion of personal health budgets from April 2015 to include long term conditions, this increases the range of options available for future funding models. The evaluation group acknowledges there are some key aspects of the NCP pilot which will require further strengthening :
• Community prescription navigators/Health activators: It is well documented the value navigators/activators can bring to determine the activity most suitable for each individual through using the skills of a trained motivational interviewer.9 On account of this, the group in modelling for a ‘pre-diabetic’ cohort have added two follow up calls to be made to each patient engaged within the programme. It is also recognised that Active Newham Leisure Trust are using ‘health activators’ whom perform similar activities and hence further supporting the opportunity for further integration with the local authority.
• Tailoring to profiles: To build upon the issues highlighted in the NCP evaluation around types of activities and scheduled times, the group has reviewed literature available in this field. Sport England10 highlighted particular profiles that were less likely to engage in sports and physical activity. They comprised of ‘supportive singles’, ‘stretched single mothers’, ‘older working mothers’, and ‘local ‘old’ boys’. It was concluded that further work is required around supporting these groups; subsidised sessions, help with childcare; having a ‘buddy group’/companion to attend sessions with.
• Improving the retention of the NCP: The evaluation group has considered the comments from the evaluation around increasing retention and completion rates and recommends adding a Patient Activation Measure11 to the existing pathway to gauge the likely extent of a patient’s engagement. Further exploration into the use of community volunteering, providing additional befriending/support to encourage and support retention of patients once engaged with activities should also be considered for any future programme.

Preliminary enquiries have been made with final year B.Sc. Health Promotion undergraduates from the University of East London. Students at the University have expressed a strong interest in working with community groups and the new academic framework will be working to support more student involvement in community projects in the future. Finally the group acknowledges that both governance arrangements and CCG staffing will need to be considered in greater detail, should the decision from the board agree to progress with the Community Prescription and request a more detailed implementation plan.
7.0 Future Ambition
7.1 7.2 7.3 7.4 7.5
It is the ambition of the CCG to have a fully integrated physical activity and healthy eating programme which spans across the borough and involves a partnership with the London Borough of Newham and community groups for both the prevention and management of long term conditions. The NCP pilot demonstrated the importance of localised activities for Newham’s diverse community groups particularly when targeting the least active members of Newham’s community. Third sector groups can play a key role in delivery. The NCP pilot was innovative in terms of providing a ‘money follows the patient’ model where delivery organisations are paid on the basis of the extent of physical activity they provide to the target population. It is recognised that a pivotal role within the NCP pilot was that of the community navigator. Having a trained motivational interviewer to review each patient for approximately 30 minutes allowed patients to be directed to activities tailored to their identified preferences. Greater resource around this role and how similar roles are currently being used across the borough will be reviewed, and options presented for consideration. The evaluation group recognises the importance of ‘pooling resources’ to minimise duplication of public monies and enable a more coordinated approach and ensure equal access across the borough. This will also result in more efficient use of resources for training programmes, staffing, and recording/collection of information.

Appendix C Cost of a QALY worked example would be as follows: A patient is receiving intervention A. If he continues with intervention A he will live for 10 years and his quality of life will be 50% of normal (0.5). If he receives a new intervention B, he will live for 12 years and his quality of life will be 70% of normal (0.7). The new medicine, medicine B, is compared with medicine A in terms of QALYs gained as follows:
•Intervention A: QALY = 5 (10 years x 0.5) •Intervention B: QALY = 8.4 (12 years x 0.7)
Therefore, intervention B results in 3.4 additional QALYs when compared with intervention A. Intervention B costs £10,000 more than A. The difference in treatment cost is divided by the number of QALYs gained. This provides the cost per QALY i.e. £10,000 / 3.4 = £2,941. Therefore, intervention B would cost £2,941 per QALY.

Executive Summary 1 Background and Rationale Long-term conditions, health inequalities and the rising cost of health to the NHS are calling for the development of a new approach to healthcare alongside the dominant bio-medical model. The Newham Community Prescribing (NCP) pilot is part of this new approach. It is centred upon people’s choice, well-being, prevention, management of health conditions, is delivered by a team of people including doctors, nurses, but also community organisations and community workers; and where medical and social approaches are integrated to create a new hybrid (Horne et al, 2013). In the NCP pilot, pre-diabetic and diabetic people are referred by their GP to community navigators who meet patients and discuss what type of physical activity is most suitable to them. Patients are then referred to suitably accredited organisations in the community and voluntary sector to attend physical activity classes for a period of 12 weeks. 2 Methodology We conducted a qualitative evaluation looking at two aspects of the pilot: (i) the experience of participants who have completed 12 weeks of physical activity; (ii) the experience of all stakeholders in relation to the implementation of the pilot. We also conducted a literature review which examined lessons for implementation of similar initiative across the UK and reviewed the evidence on the impact of different Social Prescribing models on participants. We also carried out an analysis of quantitative data. Some 69 patients completed questionnaires before the referral to physical activity classes delivered by Communities of Health (CoH)1 delivery organisations and after the completion of 12 weeks of physical activity. Questionnaires included questions about physical activity collected through the International Physical Activity Questionnaire (IPAQ) and about mental well-being collected through the Warwick Edinburgh Mental Well-being Scale (WEMWBS). Our main research question for this was: ‘To what extent has the Newham Community Prescribing pilot project led to changes in levels of physical activity and/or mental well-being in pre-diabetic and diabetic patients?’ 3 Overall findings from qualitative and quantitative evaluation 3.1 Findings from qualitative evaluation Wide range of improvements in health and mental well-being for patients who were previously inactive. Health improvement included better flexibility and

mobility, lowering use of medication reduction in joint pain, improved breathing, weight loss, and a more balanced diet. This was accompanied by a significant reduction in mental health problems including isolation, increased social networks, and improved mental well-being. 3.2 Process evaluation Participants’ completion rate of the pilot was at the same level or exceeding other studies (17% completion rate2). There was also interesting evidence of new physical activity classes created as a result of demand from patients: creation of new markets led by patients’ demands/needs. However, some key challenges need to be considered: (i) Communication between stakeholders (ii) Realistic expectations of what could be achieved (iii) Issues with the long-term sustainability of the pilot. These are discussed in more detail in the section 4 below. 3.3 Findings from analysis of pre and post quantitative data The NCP pilot has been successful in increasing physical activity and improving mental well-being for previously inactive diabetic and pre-diabetic individuals who attended 12 weeks of physical activity. Some noticeable and statistically significant improvements in meeting physical activity recommendations (more than doubled) and mental wellbeing. There were some noticeable and statistically significant improvements in mental wellbeing, total MET minutes, in meeting physical activity recommendations (more than doubled), vigorous and moderate intensity MET minutes and a significant decrease in daily sitting time. It is also Important to consider the implications of physical activity for co-morbidities in participants. Almost half of the participants in the sample suffered from either hypertension (40.9%) or coronary heart disease (7.6%). Physical activity levels in people with diabetes have important positive implications for some of these co-morbidities, particularly hypertension (Semlitch et al 2013) and heart disease (Bird, 2013). 4 Key Recommendations from qualitative and quantitative
evaluation
2 This means that about one in six people who were referred actually completed 12 weeks of physical activity. As detailed in the qualitative report, this compares favourably with other evaluations which show completion rates between 13% and18%. There are, however, some issues in calculating these.
34
We identified three key areas for policy and commissioning consideration:
1. A more effective communication between stakeholders: a. Longer pre-intervention period to enable clarity in specifying role and
responsibilities of all stakeholders involved and to set up monitoring systems and necessary buy-in
b. Continuous monitoring to identify issues at early stages: regular steering
group meetings involving all stakeholders, particularly navigators involved in the day to day running of the pilot
c. Stronger leadership from the CCG: role and responsibilities need to be
specified at the onset and key issues addressed in a timely manner
2. Increasing completion rates: a. Greater investment in navigators supported by volunteers. Other
evaluations showed that greater number of contacts with navigators increases retention rates by addressing expectations of inexperienced exercisers (Jones et al 2005)
b. Increasing retention by extending types of physical activity classes on
offer, including other age groups (mean age was 58 years old mostly retired) and offering choices of different times to suit people in employment.
3. Long-term sustainability of Newham Community Prescribing:
a. Payment on a sliding scale: commissioners could consider a high subsidy for each participant at the beginning of the programme, so to encourage CoH to maximise participation. Payment could be reduced over time encouraging CoH to support it through other means or partially charging participants
b. Health strategies that can encourage individuals take on physical activity
permanently. These may involve a re-think of where physical activity opportunities are in relation not just to people homes but also in the workplace and in the creation of facilities for physical activity at work
c. Recruitment of ‘champions’: patients who have completed successfully
the pilot could be recruited as ‘health activators’ or ‘champions’ either paid or as volunteers in order to convince other residents in their community to take on regular physical activity and help with translation and other forms of support.
5 Key limitations Qualitative research • The near absence of non-attenders from the sample of people interviewed
may have led to an overestimation of positive impact. Some 331 patients were referred but never completed (out of a total number of 700 referrals). Future
35
evaluations should monitor and keep a database of people who are referred by GPs to navigators and from navigators to delivery organisations but never engage either with the navigator or with CoH. Qualitative as well as quantitative evaluations should be built into the intervention rather than being done post hoc.
• The inability of some participants to communicate in English effectively
with some respondents with implications for the quality and amount of information obtained.
Quantitative research • The small size of the sample limits the detection of association between
independent variables and primary/secondary outcome variables. • Lack of a control group somewhat weaken the conclusions that can be inferred.
Furthermore, in the absence of randomisation it is necessary to rule out as many alternative explanations as possible for changes in the outcome variables.
• Characteristics of the sample: this analysis ‘merely’ shows that on average
diabetic and pre-diabetic patients improved their physical activity and their mental wellbeing as a result of attending physical activity classes for a period of 12 weeks. Yet, it does not tell us anything about how other participants at pre-assessment (n=331) have performed.
6 Future research a. Experience of drop-outs: future research should concentrate on the barriers
faced by drop outs from social prescribing in order to assess how uptake of the scheme can be maximised
b. Measuring long-term benefits: Future studies should aim to measure the long-
term benefits, after the completion of the initiative to assess whether benefits last over time
c. Cost-effectiveness: evidence on the cost-effectiveness of social prescribing is
very limited but increasingly important to inform commissioning.

Appendix B - Summary for Newham CCG 11 September 2014 Prepared by Dr William Bird
How can physical activity treat diabetes?
• Physical activity improves control of blood glucose in type 2 diabetes mellitus
due to improved insulin sensitivity. This may enable reduction and even
discontinuation of medication in a substantial proportion of patients.i ii iii iv
• Either aerobic or resistance training improves glycaemic control (measured
with HbA1c) in type 2 diabetes mellitus, but the improvements are greatest
with combined aerobic and resistance training.v
• Exercise programmes can reduce HbA1c levels by about 0.6% as well as
reducing adipose tissue and triglyceride levels.vi
Cohort studies show that among patients with diabetes, the least active and least fit
patients have the highest mortalityvii Church et alviii found that men in the lowest,
second and third quartiles of cardiorespiratory fitness had 4.5, 2.8 and 1.6-fold
greater risks for overall mortality than men in the highest quartile of cardiorespiratory
fitness (Chart 1). After adjustment for cardiorespiratory fitness, there was no
difference in mortality among normal-weight, overweight, and obese men.11
37
Chart 1: Church et al. This chart shows how cardiovascular mortality increases steadily as a patient moves from high to low fitness. However moving from normal weight to obesity has very little difference in cardiovascular mortality. In this study BMI was adjusted for cardiovascular fitness which can be seen to be the dominant factor affecting cardiovascular mortality
38
Managing the overall risk of physical activity
1) For most patients with diabetes, including those at high risk of coronary heart
diseaseix, recommending light to moderate activity such as brisk walking is
safe and it is left to clinical judgment as to whether any clinical complications
identified require further referral.
2) For patients wanting to undertake vigorous activity, clinicians should use their
clinical judgment to exclude any contraindications to exercise, in particular
relating to cardiovascular disease. Up to 20% of patients newly diagnosed
with type 2 diabetes mellitus have coronary heart disease.
What effect does physical activity have on the risk of developing diabetes?
• There is strong and consistent evidence that the incidence and progression of
type 2 diabetes mellitus can be reduced with physical activity in people with
impaired glucose tolerance and that the effects are independent of weight
lossx.
• In a meta-analysis,xi regular physical activity halved the risk of developing
diabetes (hazard ratio = 0.49). This compares favorably to diet only (HR =
0.67), but identical to combined diet and exercise (HR 0.49).
• In the same study, numbers needed to treat (NNT) to prevent a case of
diabetes were 6.4 for diet and exercise, 10.8 for anti-diabetic medication (e.g.
metformin) and 5.4 for orlistat.
• 150 minutes a week of physical activity and diet induced weight loss reduces
the risk of progression from impaired glucose tolerance to type 2 diabetes

Newham CCG Board Meeting
Wednesday 8th October 2014
Title: Newham CCG Board Assurance Framework (BAF)
Agenda item: 3.3
Author: Mike Sims Board Secretary Newham CCG
Presented by: Satbinder Sanghera, Head of Governance & Engagement Newham CCG

Date paper finalised: 30th September 2014
Action requested: Approve updates to actions and risk ratings as stated in the Executive Summary.
Executive Summary Material changes or risk issues in the BAF since 10th September 2014 Risk 4.1 – Monitoring and planning for the possible impact to Newham CCG from the financial and cash performance of BHT Update: In September the CFO advised the Board that the significant issue for consideration was the overperformance of acute spending and that initial data for month 5 projected a £13,300,000 overperformamce of which some £10,000,000 related to BHT, meaning that the advice to Board was that the evidence for a significant year-end Acute overperformance was likely. Board was advised that current reserves had been set aside to cover this eventuality and, whilst a challenging position, at this stage the overperformance did not put at risk any existing proposals any other proposed commitments for the year but that should the position deteriorate at a rate more significantly than at current the Board may have to consider changes to its currently proposed programme. The CFO has advised that the current risk rating should remain the same (15), although this may need to be increased within quarter three if projections remain the same.

Newham CCG Strategy: risks which may affect the organisation’s ability to maintain financial stability and/or deliver against key operational objectives as outlined in the Operating Plan
Where has the paper been already presented?
Previous iterations of the Board Assurance Framework have been presented to Newham CCG Board, most recently at the Board meeting on 10th September 2014
Risk : A failure to operate a risk management system would expose the organisation to the risk of inadequate governance arrangements.
Equality Impact This is an internal risk control and assurance document and therefore has no equality impact implication
Quality Impact This is a risk and control assurance document aimed at ensuring the CCG Board is fully sighted on and understanding of risks which may affect ability to deliver upon strategic objectives, as well as mitigations in place to address those risks.
1. Introduction and Background

2. Purpose and Scope
2.1 Board Assurance Framework
The primary purpose of the Newham CCG Board Assurance Framework (BAF) is to:
1) Act as a mechanism for alerting and appraising the Board of the main risks to achieving to the CCG in terms of achieving strategic objectives as set out in the Operating Plan
2) List, evaluate and provide assurance to the Board regarding the mitigations in place to the reduce the likelihood or impact of the risk
3) Summarise to the Board the remedial or proposed actions that further mitigate the likelihood or impact of the risk
The BAF is also an important document for providing external assurance (to NHS England, Internal Audit and patients and public) that the CCG is sighted on its risks and has a robust system of internal control.
2.2 Risk Management Governance
Risk Management is embedded in Newham CCG’s Governance Structure:-
The Audit Committee is responsible for scrutinising the group’s Risk Management policies and procedures. Accountable to the group’s Board, the Committee provides the Board with an independent and objective view of the group’s financial systems, financial information and compliance with laws, regulations and directions governing the group in so far as they relate to finance.
The Executive Committee is responsible for approving internal control arrangements, risk sharing and pooling agreements.
The Chief Officer is responsible for approving the group’s arrangements for business continuity and emergency planning.
The Chief Finance Officer is responsible for approving the group’s Counter Fraud, Security Management and Risk Management arrangements.
The Governing Board is responsible for approving and monitoring the Board Assurance Framework.
2.3 Risk Areas
BAF risks have been categorised into six main risk areas. Five of these risks areas link to the core strategic objectives of Newham CCG, as outlined in the Newham CCG Operating Plan. These are:
1. To reduce health inequalities, improve access and reduce quality variation
45
2. To develop Integrated Care, in particular to support improved management of long term conditions
3. To ensure robust patient and public engagement is embedded in the operations of Newham CCG and at all stages of the commissioning cycle
4. To ensure that Newham CCG achieves robust financial stability and balance to supporting effective working and implementation of our plans
5. To support quality improvements in primary care services to ensure they are fit for purpose and able to support the shift in care out of hospital
The Board has taken the view to include a sixth risk area to highlight the importance of establishing and maintaining good governance practices to enable the CCG to effectively deliver against its core strategic objectives:
6. To ensure that Newham CCG has transparent and effective corporate and clinical governance arrangements in place to comply with relevant legislation and mitigate the risk of non-delivery of strategic objectives
It is recognised that a number of BAF risks will be linked to one or more of the above risk areas. This will be noted where applicable on the risk profile template (section 3.1).
2.4 Risk Identifiers
Each BAF risk will be assigned a unique risk identifier (number). This will be based upon the primary area of risk identified from the five designed risk areas and subsequently the order in which the risk is added to the BAF. For example, the first risk added to the BAF with a primary risk area of category 1 (to reduce health inequalities… etc.) would be assigned a risk identifier of 1.1
46
2.5 Newham CCG Risk Grading Matrix Risk Impact
Assessing the possible impact of a risk in conjunction with the likelihood of the risk occurring is used to determine the risk rating.

Risk Impact
Description Impact Description
Severe There is a very major and potentially disastrous impact on the achievement of the corporate objective(s)
Major There is a major impact on the achievement of the corporate objective(s)
Moderate There is a significant impact on the achievement of the corporate objective
Minor There is some impact, albeit not significant, on the achievement of the corporate objective(s)
Insignificant There is minimal impact on the achievement of the corporate objective(s)
Risk Rating
Risk Category
High(Risk Rating 15-25)
Medium(Risk Rating 8-14)
Low(Risk Rating 1-7)
High categorisation level risks are not acceptable under any circumstances as they will (i) be highly likely to prevent the achievement of the corporate, principle and business objectives and will damage the organisation’s reputation, politically and financially as well as creating a
significant and unacceptable response from stakeholders, (ii) impact on individual or population health outcomes resulting in death. They require specific monitoring and
appropriate action plans at Board level to ensure that their impact is mitigated at the earliest opportunity
Medium categorisation risks are generally not acceptable as they are likely to (i) cause much disruption and efficiency losses to the achievement of corporate, principle and business objectives, (ii) impact on individual or population health outcomes resulting in greater
chances of suboptimal health outcomes. They require specific monitoring and appropriate action plans at individual directorate senior management level to ensure that their impact
does not increase to a higher risk level
Low categorisation risks are in general at an acceptable level of risk as they are (i) unlikely to cause much disruption and efficiency losses to the achievement of corporate, principle and
business objectives, (ii) impact on individual or population health outcomes resulting in some chances of suboptimal health outcomes. They are unlikely to require specific application
of resources and will be subject to on-going review and monitoring at a departmental / functional level

There is a risk that Newham CCG will not be able to fully recover funding transferred pro rata to NHSE to enable the Londonwide costs of Specialised Commissioning to be met. This could impact upon: 1. Financial planning and control 2. Effective utilisation of budgets in year An allocation of £12.2m was returned to Newham CCG in September 2013 however, inherent in year risk remains in 2014/15 due to the possibility of further adjustments in the specialised commissioning budget following final agreement of the split of the Barts Plan.

Title: NCCG Finance - Month 5 Report
Agenda item: 3.4
Author: Chad Whitton Chief Finance Officer Newham CCG
Presented by: Chad Whitton Chief Finance Officer Newham CCG
Contact for further information:
Chad Whitton Chief Finance Officer Newham CCG
Date paper finalised: 1st October
Action requested: Approve the report (including Appendix 1)
Executive summary: Executive Summary: The CCG submitted a balanced final Operating Plan Financial Template (OPFT) in line with financial requirements to NHSE on 18th April. Budgets in line with the OPFT were loaded in May At Month 5 the CCG total resource allocation was £410,834,000 and planned expenditure, including reserves was £398,834,000 generating a surplus of £12,000,000 (3%). A significant projected over-performance on acute activity will be managed through the application of reserves held against that risk. The Running Cost Allowance is set at £8,068,000. Planned capital spend (still to be confirmed) is £400,000. The net QIPP savings target is £10,292,295. The plan has been reviewed with NHSE as part of the routine CCG assurance meetings. The CCG submitted its Operating Plan Financial Template for 2014/15 to 2018/19 and the finance template for the Better Care Plan on 4th April. A final revision of the OPFT was submitted on 25th July. A final revision of the BCF plan was sent on 19th September. As a challenged local economy the CCG is part of a joint local health economy 5 year plan submission to NHSE on 20th June. A final version of the 5 Year Plan including a section on LHE financial sustainability was completed for the WEL SPG on 19th September. Additional detail on the above items is provided in Appendix 1 and an Acute over-performance review in Attachment 1

Impact on risk: The Financial Plan (including the QIPP programme) as identified in the Operating Plan Financial Template is an essential component in identifying and managing financial risk and ensuring the CCG delivers its financial requirements.
Quality Impact Effective financial planning, monitoring and control delivering value for money enables effective targeting of resources to support delivery and continuous improvement of high quality services for patients.
Equality Impact: Effective delivery of the financial plan will support the CCG in achieving its duty to reduce inequality of health provision and outcomes for the residents of Newham.

Item 3.4 – Appendix 1 Newham CCG Board – 8th October 2014
CCG 2014/15 Month 5
Summary The CCG submitted a balanced final Operating Plan Financial Template (OPFT) in line with financial requirements to NHSE on 4th April. Budgets in line with the OPFT were loaded in May. At Month 5 the CCG total resource allocation was £410,834,000 and planned expenditure, including reserves was £398,834,000 generating a surplus of £12,000,000 (3%). A further version of the OPFT was submitted on 20th June and a final version will be provided as part of the SPG 5 year plan. Month 5 Outturn At Month 5 the CCG is showing an underspend of £53,000 and projecting achievement of the year-end outturn target surplus. Details of spend are summarised below.
A more detailed analysis is provided in the Month 5 Activity and Finance Report that is provided by CSU to the CCG Commissioning Committees. However, the Board should note that there is significant over-performance against acute providers, with the major contributors tabled below:

Key areas of over-performance at Barts Healthcare are in A&E, Non-Elective, Outpatients and Critical Care. The detailed Month 5 report has been considered by the Acute Committee. An analysis on the data has been undertaken to determine drivers of the over-performance reporting and is summarised in Attachment 1 to this appendix. There has also been a significant increase in a number of out of sector trusts including BMI and this is also referred to in Attachment 1. It is clear that in part some over-performance is in response to the lengthening waiting times at Barts. The deterioration in the projected position at Month 4 was significant. At Month 5, the additional analysis and consolidation of the first Quarter position has shown stabilisation of the position with a small improvement in the projection and a lessening of risk. There is still, however, a serious financial challenge to the CCG. Although the application of risk and contingency reserves held for this purpose currently offsets this adverse variance and the CCG can still deliver its financial target, the level of contingency still available is now significantly reduced and all other reserves are committed. The Barts Healthcare position has taken a prudent view of QIPP delivery particularly in the expectation of UCC and Virtual Ward savings. However, should there be a further reduction in QIPP delivery, or above trend increase in over-performance, the CCG will need to review reserve commitments to identify scope for additional retention. Other variances are of smaller scale and will be reported to the relevant Committee for consideration.

QIPP In the Operating Plan the net QIPP Programme is £10.2million with a risk rated anticipated delivery of £8.5million. In 2014/15 delivery of QIPP savings will be crucial to enable the CCG investment plans to be fully rolled out. In Month 5 the CCG reported achievement of £4.16m against a target of £4.29m and is projecting full achievement. However, acknowledging the limited data available at this point in the year there are significant variances emerging in achievement. Investigations are in progress and it anticipated that the Month 6 Report will include an additional appendix reviewing the CCG QIPP performance identifying remedial action. Capital A capital bid for £200,000 has been submitted as part of the OPFT. This is for equipment maintenance and replacement. A further bid for £200,000 supporting minor service re-location and additional refurbishment has been submitted and a response is awaited on both bids from NHSE. Operating Plan 2014/15 to 2018/19 and Better Care Plan submission The CCG submitted its draft Operating Plan Financial Template (OPFT) on 14th February and further iterations on 7th March, 4th April, 20th June and 25th July. The OPFT includes a list of investments and savings agreed as part of the 2014/15 QIPP programme. A final submission on the Better Care Fund with significant additional detail required on the achievement of targets was forwarded on 19th September. The returns is currently being reviewed nationally for approval. The CCG is collaborating with the Borough and other stakeholders to ensure that the submission meets the necessary criteria and, in particular, the targets required to deliver the performance payments. North East London was identified as one of eleven Challenged Health Economies by NHSE in April The CCG is currently working with other CCGs (as part of the WEL Strategic Planning Group (SPG)), NHSE and local providers supported by McKinseys and the CSU to finalise a joint local health economy 5 year plan. An initial plan was provided to NHSE on 20th June and a number of discussions have been held subsequently with the Regional NHSE team. A final WEL SPG submission reflecting those discussions and the plans identified in the Transforming Services Together/Transforming Services Changing Lives Programme (TST/TSCL) was prepared in final draft on 19th September and due to be submitted to NHSE in October.

Appendix 2
Acute over-performance analysis – QIPP Non-Delivery Analysis.
Barts Healthcare over-performance
Background In 2013/14 the Barts Healthcare moved from a block contract to a PBR contract. Through 2013/14 projecting the final outturn of the contract was complicated by issues surrounding the disaggregation of specialised commissioning and significant disputes between the Trust and the commissioning collaborative over data quality and content. The contract was not signed off until very late in the financial year and final confirmation of the year-end position is still outstanding. In 2014/15 there have been improvements as follows: • Closer and more positive engagement with Barts Healthcare through establishing a PMO office
managed by a Director of Barts Health Commissioning, supported by a consolidated dedicated CSU MDT
• Resolution of outstanding issues relating to the disaggregation of SCG budgets and correct Trust invoicing
• Contract sign off by end June with resolution of all outstanding issues by end September. • Improvements in quality and consistency of information However, there are still a significant number of issues and disputes which serve to add risk to year-end projections that are already made complex by the inevitable and unavoidable timing delays. Complexity example - Quarter 1 • Freeze (finalised) data based charge is £47.592m which on a straight-line basis would show a
final out-turn of £190.371m against a contract of £166.538m. • Adjustments for CQUINs, Claims, Challenges, Coding errors, Misattributions, Productivity,
Threshold, Re-admissions and penalties, most of which are risk rated as they have still to be finalised and agreed, reduce the projected Final Out-turn total by 17.2m to £173.17m.
(note that this is not the M5 projected Final Out-turn figure reported as this will include additional data and a more prudent view of risk in relation to over-performance and risk). 2014/15 Position The Month 5 position for Acute providers for NCCG is summarised in Table 1 below:
90
Key areas of over-performance identified in the Month 4 detailed report to the Acute Committee are highlighted below:
These variances compare in-year performance with plan. Plans are constructed primarily from the six month activity position in the previous year doubled with, depending on previous trend an adjustment for seasonal factors. In 2014/15 the plan agreed with the Trust in the Contract took this standardised approach. However, 2013/14 was an a-typical year in that due to the problems with data early in the year the Month 6 position was understated. This was further impacted upon through the reduction in activity to reflect anticipated QIPP. Where programmes have not started or under-delivered, primarily in non-elective, this would generate a variance. Analysis of the activity rate for Months 7-12 indicate an annual activity cost that would have been £5.2 million above Months 1-6 and £2.6m above the actual out-turn. This is reflected in the comparison to final out-turn shown in the above table where the variance is £4.938m or 2.9%. It should be taken into account that although agreement is still outstanding, the likely final position for NCCG might be up to £1.5m lower than the initial final outturn as claims and non-activity related items are finalised. Analysis of the position comparing 13/14 with 14/15 projected outturn indicates a number of areas with significant variance as follows:

• Critical Care – The Trust would appear to have significantly increased recent charges for Critical
Care although no known specific factor would account for this. The Trust may be changing practice with regard to charging. A challenge has been raised to determine whether any changes are contractually permissible and a reduction is anticipated.
• Excess Bed Days – The increase in Excess Bed Days is primarily in Cardiac, Eyes and Mouth, Head and Neck procedures. This is significantly (10%plus) above the Month 7-12 13/14 run rate and raised as a query for the Trust to clarify how this sudden increase has arisen.
• High Cost Drugs - Queries have been raised regarding drugs charges to the CCG made in 2014/15 that were previously not charged.
• Maternity Pathway – Query raised with the Trust as the volume of patients on the Ante-natal pathway is significantly greater than the expected number of births
• Outpatient Procedures – Activity increase is significantly higher than in 13/14 and challenges have been raised to determine if an approach not agreed with the CCG has been implemented. However, the increase might also reflect changes from Daycase to Outpatients agreed as part of productivity programmes.
With regard to the substantial number of outstanding claims lodged with the Trust it is anticipated that resolution of these claims will generate a material reduction in these adverse variances. A risk rated assessment is currently being conducted as part of the Month 6 reporting cycle and will be tabled at the Board meeting. However, the likely position based on the above considerations is that the projected variance may reduce by up to two million. Homerton and Out of Sector Acute Table 1 identifies the significant variances by volume and percentage for out of sector acute providers. For most trust the CCG works through a lead commissioner and this can add difficulty in getting a swift and focused response. The CCG is, therefore, targeting UCL and BMI as areas where we will most actively pursue the variance.

• Guys and St Thomas increase is small compared to 13/14 outturn and the variance reported reflects a reduction in the contract value which was set by the lead CCG. Future contract setting will be based on the projected previous year outturn.
• The Homerton increase is due to variances on Outpatients and Excess Bed Days. Overall the variance is not material compared to the previous years out-turn but will be monitored in collaboration with City & Hackney CCG to ensure there is no further shift in the projection.
• Royal Free increase is significant and primarily due to a high level of spend on critical care. • The BHRUT contract has been agreed as a block contract and the contract value will be adjusted
to reflect this • UCL over-performed against contract in 2013/14 and is projected to over-perform in 2014/15.
This trend is concerning and is being pursued with NCL who are the lead commissioners. The over-performance is due to over-performance in a number of areas suggesting that overall there has been an increase in the volume of activity going to this trust from Newham.
• BMI – This contract is projected to over-perform significantly against both plan and 13/14 out-turn. The pressure is mainly in the T&O specialty reflecting a transfer of activity from Barts Healthcare in response to long waiting times. Although a query is being pursued with the provider to confirm their charging methodology reflects the agreed contract parameters, resolution of the problem at Barts Healthcare is seen as the best way of relieving this pressure.
Conclusions Acute contracting and performance management is a specialist area. It contains a high degree of complexity compounded by the volumes and breadth of the information. The size of the main London providers compared to CCGs and the collaborative or lead commissioner approaches thereby necessitated, add to the difficulty of pinpointing and resolving variances. At Barts, the analysis indicates that although reporting will continue to reflect variances to the agreed plan, comparison to 13/14 activity is more likely to provide a clear view of the drivers of over-performance. Five areas where this is occurring have been identified and queries are being urgently pursued with the Trust. Based on these queries and the ongoing monthly reviews the projected final outturn appears to be reducing slightly, thereby lessening the level of financial risk to the CCG. However, the over-performance is still substantial. Considering the Acute Sector as a whole the over-performance on 2013/14 is still in excess of £6m (2.9%) which is higher than the growth in population. While QIPP is not being effectively delivered in Urgent Care and Rehab Ward schemes this is more than offset by over-delivery in Threshold and Re-admissions savings. It is, therefore, clear that the CCG target of maintaining acute spend within a stable cash envelope is not being achieved. In the longer term continued increasing in the acute sector on this scale would be unsustainable. This underlines the importance for the CCG of ensuring that its plans to implement integrated care as a way of levering in additional efficiency as well as improvements in patient quality and safety are pursued and implemented, and that QIPP plans are realistic and achieved.
