    • £11.366 YTD deficit against Resource Limit • The CCG forecast outturn remains at £12.00m deficit, but there remains risk of

    £0.5m attached to this forecast. The risk relates to expenditure on prescribing. • The risk attached to the forecast has reduced by £1.0m compared to month 9

    due to some favourable contract movements, in particular Spire. • The QIPP required to achieve this forecast will be full year £3.779m consistent

    with the M9 reported figure. With regards to non NHS contracts MT stated that there is a contract over performance of £253k at the end of month 10 which represents a favourable movement in the position of £234k when comparing to the month 9 position. MT reported that the CCGs QIPP challenge started at £17.6m. However, since the start of the year, the forecast outturn has been revised from a surplus of £0.4m to a deficit of £12m and advised that the QIPP forecast has been reduced to £3.779m. As at month 10, the remainder of schemes are delivering against forecast and all schemes have started In conclusion MT asked the Wirral Governing Body to note the Month 10 Operational overspend of £11.366m and the current full year forecast outturn of £12m with £0.5m of net risk attached.

    1) INTRODUCTION

    1.1 This report sets out the headline financial position for NHS Wirral Clinical Commissioning Group (Wirral CCG) as at the end of March (Month 12) 2016/17. As this is a yearend position, all figures quoted are subject to a satisfactory audit of the statutory accounts. The 1% headroom which the CCG has been required to maintain during the year has been released reflecting a yearend position. Therefore performance is measured against a forecast outturn deficit of £7.130m (calculated as £12.000m less 1% headroom of £4.870m). The main headlines are;

    • £7.128m full year actual outturn deficit compared to forecast outturn deficit of £7.130m. This means that the CCG has achieved its forecast outturn in line with NHSE expectations.

    • The QIPP delivery was as forecast at £3.779m.

    2) FINANCIAL POSITION

    2.1 As at the end of March, NHS Wirral CCG has a reported deficit of £7.128m. The year to date operational overspend is shown below:

    2.2 This deficit position reported includes full year QIPP achieved of £3.779m, and a number of operational overspends as discussed (starting at paragraph 2.3) below. A full breakdown of the CCG position by contract and spend area is within Appendix 1.

    NHS Contracts

    2.3 NHS contracts £1,284k overspent which represents a favourable movement of £11k when compared to the month 11 YTD position. Of the £1,284k overspend; £193k is attributable to the Countess of Chester Hospital. This is predominantly due to critical care which is overspending by £319k, offset by underspends in electives and non-electives.

    2.4 The Liverpool Heart and Chest Hospital contract also over performed by £255k for the year predominantly due to day cases including a biventriculuar pacemaker, percutaneous interventions and perc complex ablations.

    2.5 Wirral Community Trust over performed by £278k. This was predominantly due to

    physiotherapy overspending by £200k and an increase in CTS attendances.

    2.6 Royal Liverpool & Broadgreen University Hospital over performed by £253k for the year which was predominantly due to non-achievement of QIPP.

    2.7 The remaining overspend of £305k was due to increased performance across all other

    NHS contracts.

    2.8 The weekly activity management group (AMG) continues to look into significant contract variances and there is an activity log to monitor actions which is reviewed and task and finish groups set up to report back on items identified.

    Non NHS Contracts

    2.9 Non NHS contract over performance was £487k for the full year. This represents a favourable movement in the position of £94k when comparing to the month 11 YTD position.

    Spire Murrayfield was £665k over the planned level of spend for the full year which represents a favourable movement of £141k when compared to Februarys YTD position. This is due to activity data having been received at the predicted lower levels. This overspend was partially offset by under performance against planned levels at Peninsula (£107k) and one to One Midwifery (£110k).

    2.10 Monthly practice visits continue to take place in order to attempt to address the issue of over performance.

    Prescribing 2.11 The month 12 financial position for prescribing has been informed by February’s data.

  • Page 3 of 6

    This shows a year to date position of £591k underspent, (favourable movement of £88k) of which £579k relates to practice prescribing, £39k against central drugs, but a pressure of £29k against Air Liquide.

    Continuing Healthcare

    2.12 As at the end of March, Joint/ Fully Funded and Children’s packages were overspent by £4,377k. This is an adverse movement of £327k when compared to the month 11 position. Of this, approximately £125k is the result of the FNC rate increase approved by government. The remaining pressure has been caused by a number of new packages, existing package price increases and also the impact of QIPP non delivery £92k.

    2.13 The main movements however this month include the following:

    Continuing Healthcare

    • 26 new CHC eligible packages have been agreed totalling an estimated value of £496k (note this value also includes the impact of all YTD new packages), with an increase in existing package costs totalling £100k. 16 packages have ceased totalling £266k. We have also seen a number of new PHB packages with a total cost of £28k.

    Joint Funded/Complex Care

    • 12 new Complex Care packages have been agreed totalling an estimated value of £520k (note this value also includes the impact of all YTD new packages), with an increase in existing package costs totalling £79k. 8 Complex Care MH packages have ceased totalling £397k.

    Funded Nursing Care

    • The impact of the weekly rate increase has seen an in month impact of £125k.

    Better Care Fund 2.14 BCF has reported a full year underspend of £321k, an improvement of £146k compared to the £175k underspend reported at month 11. This position reflects slippage on a number of schemes.

    Running Costs

    2.15 Running cost budgets were underspent by £233k for the full year. This reflects some pay & non pay underspends relating to vacancies and some staff not currently being part of the NHS pension scheme.

    2.16 The savings referred to in 2.15 more than offset the non-recurrent expenditure which the

    CCG has incurred as part of its financial recovery. 2.17 The outturn position includes costs pressures identified in earlier reports relating to

    Property Services Limited for the vacant space within Old Market House. This relates to the space that the Community Trust used to occupy, as host tenant, the CCG is liable for the charges until the space is occupied.

  • Page 4 of 6

    3) QIPP

    3.1 The CCGs QIPP challenge started at £17.6m (excluding BCF £0.6m). However since the start of the year the forecast outturn was revised from a surplus of £0.4m to a deficit of £12m. The QIPP requirement was consequently revised. The actual QIPP outturn for the year was £3.779m in line with the forecast made in recent months.

    4) UNDERLYING POSITION

    4.1 Due to the sizeable challenge the CCG faces, it must be noted that the underlying position

    of the CCG finances is a significant deficit.

    Wirral CCG Underlying Recurrent Position 2017/18 Revenue Resource Limit 493,944 Programme Costs 495,207 Running costs 7,099 Contingency - Total Application of Funds 502,306 Underlying Surplus /(Deficit) (8,362)

    4.2 £8.4m deficit would mean contingency and headroom have been utilised. In order to

    return to business rules (1% surplus/ 1% headroom and 0.5% contingency (£12.4m)), the underlying position could be closer to £21m deficit.

    5) RISKS

    5.1The risks previously identified pertaining to 2016/17 have been managed within the overall

    position to achieve the forecast outturn. 5.2 However moving into 2017/18 the key risks facing the CCG include achievement of a QIPP

    plan of £12.3m and ensuring operational/contract expenditure is managed in line with the financial plan set.

    6) CASH MANAGEMENT

    6.1 The recorded CCG cash book balance at the end of March was £16k. This is in line with

    current NHSE guidance that CCGs aim towards 1.25% month end cash balance of the drawdown.

    6.2 In total there is £1,778,450 of outstanding debt at 31st March 2017. The ageing profile is shown in the graph below.

    6.3 The top 3 debtors by value greater than 30 days amount to £78,671.

    7) CONCLUSION

    7.1 The Governing Body is asked to note: • Full year actual outturn deficit £7.128m compared to forecast deficit of £7.130m (after

    release of 1% headroom).

    • QIPP actual outturn £3.779m.

    • Risks pertaining to 2017/18 – achievement of QIPP plan £12.3m, and the need for vigorous control of operational/contractual expenditure in line with the agreed finance plan.

  • Wirral Clinical Commissioning Group

    Briefing from the Deputy Chair of the Finance Committee, 21 March 2017

    Purpose

    The purpose of the committee is to provide assurance to the Governing Body in relation to the financial performance and plans of the CCG. This includes an assessment of the major risks to the delivery of the CCG’s statutory financial duties and the effectiveness of mitigating actions to manage the risks, the achievement of value for money in the use of resources, and the delivery of the annual Quality, Innovation, Productivity and Prevention plan, which is fundamental to the CCG’s ability to operate within the business rules determined by NHS England.

    Significant agenda Items/Key topics discussed

    • Month 11 Financial Position. The control total for the year of £12million deficit agreed by NHS England will be a major challenge to achieve, following a deterioration of £666,000 during Month 11.The committee focussed its discussion on the main areas of overspending, and efforts to improve performance.

    • Cheshire and Wirral control total for 2017/18. NHS England has set a break-even control total for the CCG for next year, which will necessitate delivery of QIPP savings of over £12 million in the year, significantly more than the £3.8 million forecast achievement in 2016/17.

    • Proposed Incentive Scheme for Primary Care Prescribing. The committee considered and supported a new prescribing incentive scheme, which if successfully implemented, will improve the quality, safety and cost effectiveness of prescribing, with shared benefit for the CCG and individual participating practices.

    • Financial Recovery Plan. The committee reviewed the draft plan, which must be submitted to NHS England as part of the Capability and Capacity Action Plan, by 23 March 2017. Committee members made suggestions to strengthen the narrative of the plan, particularly in relation to proposals being considered to identify the full value of QIPP schemes required, and to address current overspending trends in key managed budgets such as Continuing Health Care and Physiotherapy Services.

    Outcomes/actions/assurances/risks

    • Based on the Month11 financial performance, there is a strong risk that the control total for 2016/17, set by NHS England may be breached. The CFO is reviewing all available options to avoid this position.

    • In order to be released from formal Directions by NHS England in March 2018, the CCG must deliver a QIPP savings programme of over £1 2million in 2017/18, more than 3 times that achieved in 2016/17, as well as control spending within all managed operational budgets.

  • Any formal recommendations

    The recommendations to the Governing Body from the meeting are as follows:-

    • The Governing Body should take clear ownership for the successful delivery of the Capability and Capacity Action Plan, and in particular the Financial Recovery Plan.

    1. INTRODUCTION 1.1 This report provides an update from the Turnaround Group meetings held on 28th February and the

    21st March.

    1.2 The Turnaround Group was established to improve the governance around Financial Recovery and to support the work of the Financial Recovery Group. The Turnaround Groups’ focus is on execution at Executive and Governing Body level, and it meets monthly to track the progress of the key programme themes and agree any mitigations or recovery activity necessary; it also tests the level of clinical ownership and confidence in the measures coming forward. Detailed scrutiny and development of individual QIPP projects takes place at the Financial Recovery Group, working to a new and more robust decision making process. The Finance Committee retains the key overview responsibility for financial recovery, to the Governing Body.

    1.3 The terms of reference and scope of the Turnaround Group was approved at the Finance

    Committee, and the first meeting was held on the 28th February.

    2. KEY ISSUES / MESSAGES 2.1 The February meeting covered the following key areas:

    • Agreement of terms of reference, scope of the group, and overall governance. • 2016/17 Financial plan and QIPP update. • 2017/18 Financial plan and QIPP update. • 2017/18 QIPP schemes requiring gateway review. • 2017/18/19 Operational plan. • Improvement Plan update.

    2.2 The March meeting covered the following key areas:

    • Requirements of the NHS England directions letter, • Discussion/Approval of the Improvement Plan, • Discussion/Approval of the Financial Recovery Plan 2017/18 – 2018/19.

    2.3 The group strengthens the governance arrangements around the delivery of the QIPP programme

    in terms of accountability, and provides a direct line of sight for governing body through the Accountable Officer who Chairs the meeting.

    2.4 The 2017/18 QIPP plan has currently around 83% in total identified and this represents a considerable improvement on last year where very little was identified at the planning stage. The delivery of schemes now needs to be the key focus in terms of execution, and this represents a key challenge for the Executive Team, and for the CCG as a whole.

    2.5 The Business case approach to QIPP scheme approval improves the governance and rigour

    around schemes, ensuring we take forward those schemes that deliver the best returns. However, the identification of the business case outcomes in terms of both change and financial savings need further focus in terms of scale and pace to support improved delivery. It is important that cases are honed in on the key deliverables to gain traction, and that sufficient resource is supporting delivery.

    2.6 The operational plan will need to support the financial recovery and QIPP requirements once this is

    completed in May. 2.7 The Improvement Plan shows progress to date in terms of the implementation of key

    recommendations, however there remains a significant challenge in terms of supporting the changes required to deliver the new ways of working.

    2.8 The Financial Recovery Plan meets the requirements to deliver a balanced plan in 2017/18 through

    a £12,275m QIPP, the challenges remaining around delivery. 2.9 The CCG expects to receive feedback on both the Improvement plan and the Financial Recovery

    Plan from NHSE as part of its directions.

    3. IMPLICATIONS

    3.1 The delivery of the financial plan for 2017/18 and the supporting QIPP is critical to the CCG

    achieving the requirements laid out in its directions.

    3.2 The Executive Directors will need to ensure they have the appropriate focus within their teams to assure delivery.

    4. CONCLUSION

    4.1 The Turnaround Group provides a key assurance to the Governing Body in holding to account on delivery of QIPP and wider transformation.

    1 INTRODUCTION

    This paper provides Governing Body with a report on the key strategic and operational issues and developments related to the delegated duties of the Director of Commissioning.

    2 STRATEGY DEVELOPMENT AND REFORM IMPLEMENTATION

    2.1 OPERATIONAL PLAN 2016/17

    The CCG Operational Plan for 2016/17 had a number of milestones for achievement of the key priority areas of work. Against the key priority areas there were 115 milestones of which 73 have been achieved, 32 will be achieved during 2017/18 and 8 remain outstanding with mitigating actions identified against each of these. The detail of the milestones and achievements are shown in appendix 1 and the below is a summary of achievements against each of the priority areas.

    2.1.1 Primary Care Transformation – notable achievements in this area include use of e-referral increasing to 78% from baseline of 56% and an increase to 90% of patients rating the experience of accessing GP service as very good or good. There is one unachieved milestone within this priority area related to the CCG achieving level 3 delegated commissioning for primary care. Further engagement work will continue during 2017/18 with our members with the aim of submit an application for level 3 with member approval.

    2.1.2. Urgent Care Redesign – whilst achievements have been made during 2016/17, there are a number of milestones that will continue into 2017/18. In order to reduce low acuity presentations at the hospital, primary care streaming is now being undertaken at the emergency department at the hospital both for those brought via ambulance and also for those who walk into the department. During 2016/17 the CCG completed a value stream analysis of the urgent care pathway with key stakeholders which has resulted in the development of two proposed models for an improved urgent care pathway. Further engagement work will be undertaken prior to a full formal public consultation during 2017/18.

    2.1.3 Care Closer to the Individual (Better Care Fund) – key achievements in this area include the success of intermediate care in supporting 90% of people to remain at home 91 days after discharge. However, overall the various schemes within the Better Care Fund have not achieved the target of 3% reduction in non-elective admissions (actual 2.7%) and there has been no reduction in bed occupancy.

    2.1.4 Transforming of Diabetes Care – key milestones have been achieved during the year and there is only one milestone that will now be achieved during 2017/18 and this is due to the delay in launching the diabetes registry. Key achievements have included the introduction of specialist foot clinics in order to reduce waiting times and amputation rates.

    2.1.5 Transforming Respiratory Care – progress has been achieved during 2016/17 with the development of more local services to improve access to patients. Work will continue on the development of the

  • registries which will enable identification of the impact of the improved access. Further work is required to develop increased use of self management and tele health for this patient group.

    2.1.6 Parity of Esteem – progress has been made during 2016/17 in particular against achievement of constitutional standards for early intervention of care packages for patients with a new diagnosis of psychosis, and also the development of an integrated provider hub which is achieving efficiencies for reinvestment in mental health.

    2.1.7 Transforming Care Programme – learning disability services – notable achievements in year is the development of a Joint All Age Learning Disability Strategy with the Local Authority and adoption of an outcome based specification across Wirral and Cheshire. Work will continue on the milestones and actions that are ongoing during 2017/18.

    2.1.8 Children’s Mental Health – key achievements during 2016/17 include the implementation of a primary care mental health model in October with each school having a named primary health worker. A new eating disorder model has also delivered improved access to services. Work will continue on the milestones and actions that are ongoing during 2017/18.

    2.1.9 Maternity – all milestones have been achieved during 2016/17. Notable achievements include the agreement of shared care pathways between providers and also Wirral securing funding to improve perinatal mental health care.

    2.1.10 Older People – frailty pathways – all milestones have been achieved during 2016/17. Key achievements include the Community Rapid Response teams and Integrated Care Co-ordination teams managing 1,164 patients by supporting them to stay at home.

    2.1.11 Cancer – there is one milestone that will be achieved during quarter one of 2017/18 in that the Cancer Strategy is to be formally adopted. Key achievements during 2017/18 implementation of new pathways for three major tumour sites in order to improve rapid diagnosis from GP referral.

    2.1.12 Palliative and End of Life Care – key milestones have been achieved during 2016/17 which have included enabling more patients to receive care in their preferred place for end of life care. Work will continue into 2017/18 on outstanding actions, including the roll out of an Electronic Palliative Care Co-Ordination System which is linked to the development of the Wirral Care Record.

    2.2 BETTER CARE FUND 2017/18

    The Better Care Fund (BCF) continues to support transformational change in Wirral and has achieved a 2.7% non-elective admission reduction at month 10 of 16/17. However, this now stands at 0.9% increase against plan due to unprecedented demand over the winter months.

    All existing schemes have been reviewed in order to identify priorities for development and potential areas for recommissioning. Key priorities for 2017/19 include:

    o Drive integration & develop a robust 7 day community offer

    o Better Health, Better Care, Better Value

    o Support wider 5 year plan (Accountable care partnership) in line with (STP) sustainable transformation plan

    o Support wider system redesign

    The BCF plan for 17/19 will build on recent successes identified from the ongoing evaluation of existing schemes. The focus is to scale up the most successful schemes including:

  • o Rapid Community Service developed to include dementia crisis response and provide support for ‘Green Car’

    o Green car – expansion of hours (16 hours per day, 7 days per week)

    o Ensuring immediate access to wrap-around community support offer which includes:

    • Reablement at home • Domiciliary care • Mobile nights

    Key areas for transformational change in 2017/18 include:

    o Discharge to assess (bed based)

    o Home first (individual’s own home)

    o Development of the single integrated gateway to ensure robust community interventions are offered to avoid an admission wherever possible

    o Investment in tele-triage / tele-health

    Recently published national guidance mandates the following four conditions:

    1. Plans to be jointly agreed

    2. NHS contribution to adult social care is maintained in line with inflation

    3. Agreement to invest in NHS commissioned out-of-hospital services, which may include 7 day services and adult social care

    4. Managing Transfers of Care (a new condition to ensure people’s care transfers smoothly between services and settings)

    Beyond this, areas have flexibility in how the Fund is spent over health, care and housing schemes or services, but need to agree how this spending will improve performance in the following four metrics:

    1. Delayed transfers of care;

    2. Non-elective admissions (General and Acute);

    3. Admissions to residential and care homes;

    4. Effectiveness of reablement.

    In addition, following the budget announcement relating to increased funding for social care, the national guidance also includes specific reference to the ‘Improved Better Care Fund’. This is additional resource aimed at supporting social care which is channelled through the Better Care Fund. For 2017/18 this equates to £8.3m, it is proposed by the Local Authority that this is allocated in the following way:

    • £5m for the protection and stabilisation of social care • £1.3m for care provision outside of hospital to support timely discharge • £2m allocated to a local ‘innovation fund’ on a non-recurrent basis to support sustainable system

    transformation – proposals will be developed from across the system which will be reviewed and approved / rejected via the BCF Board.

  • 1. PERFORMANCE AGAINST THE NHS CONSTITUTIONAL STANDARDS (February 2017)

    The full performance report for January has been reviewed and discussed in detail by the Quality and Performance Committee in its March meeting. The following dashboard demonstrates the exceptions only in performance against the NHS constitutional standards and includes a trend analysis from April 2016 to February 2017. A copy of the full performance pack is available on request.

    A&E The 4 hour A&E target continues to be a concern and the trend in the dashboard above demonstrates the deterioration in performance. The Wirral A&E Delivery Board monitors the progress made against the action plan. Recent initiatives include primary care streaming, review and redesign of discharge pathway and initiation of additional Better Care Fund Schemes. Ambulance The performance of ambulance response times has shown some recent improvement in terms of red category 2 calls (not life threatening) and category A calls within 19 minutes. The Wirral A&E Delivery Board monitors the performance and progress against the action plan. A recent initiative has been a pilot of primary nurse triage of ambulance arrivals at the hospital. This has had a positive impact on reducing the handover time from the ambulance to the hospital and as a result the triage will continue. RTT The referral to treatment (RTT) 18 week wait for incomplete pathway was not met in February with performance at 84.51% for Wirral CCG and 83.69% for WUTH. The CCG has not met the 92% standard since December 2015. The performance at WUTH is a significant contributing factor to the CCG as WUTH has not met their STF target or the standard since July 2016. The CCG is receiving additional support from NHS England via the Demand Management Assurance Programme and has developed an action plan to support CCG recovery. The CCG, WUTH, NHSE and NHSI (via RTT Intensive Support Team) are working together to support WUTH’s recovery of the standard. WUTH has developed a revised RTT recovery plan with support from NHSI. The initial emphasis is on data cleansing of Patient Tracking Lists, data quality, training, and harm

  • reviews of patients waiting more than 52 weeks. WUTH have notified the CCG that they have identified 2 patients who have waited more than 52 weeks at this point and that there are more 52 week+ waiters in March and April. WUTH have confirmed that they will adhere to their Duty of Candor for all 52 weeks waiters. Following completion of the data cleansing/quality phase, work will commence to agree recovery trajectories. This will be overseen by the newly formed RTT Recovery Board which will include all key stakeholders and is yet to host its inaugural meeting. The continued poor performance in regards of RTT at WUTH is discussed at length at the Quality and Performance Committee. Cancer Wirral CCG closely monitors the 62 target on a monthly basis and liaises with WUTH in respect of breaches and action plans. A number of actions have already been implemented and improvements are now being realised, this has included additional resources and clinics being put in place in gynaecology and targeted action plans for Head & Neck, UGI and Urology. Pathways are continually being reviewed for improvement, for example, Lung is currently under review. A key area currently is robotic capacity, this is being looked at in detail by WUTH and we are awaiting a response in terms of their proposals and timescales. WUTH have introduced robust systems to review all patient progress weekly, and when breaches occur an investigation is always undertaken and the finding fed into an action plan which is agreed and monitored by the Chief Operating Officer. WUTH report their targets quarterly and in general meet their targets for 62 day referral. IAPT In terms of the performance for the Improving Access to Psychological Therapies (IAPT) the CCG has completed a quality risk profile with NHS England and NHS Improvement and have instigated enhanced performance monitoring. A formal performance notice has been issued with required actions to be delivered for improvement during April and also reduction of waiting list during April – June. NHS Improvement is due to undertake a review of the provider during May. 4. CONCLUSION

    Governing Body is asked to:-

    • To note update on the implementation of the NHS Right Care programme. • To note update on Better Care Fund • Note the summary review of recent exception performance against constitutional standards.

    Increase in the number of integrated out of hospital servicesPotential reduction in acute hospital activityReduction in unwarranted variation (movement to top quartile of NHS Right Care specialties)

    Achieved (year to date) a 16.5% GP referrals reduction for Wirral University Teaching Hospital NHS Foundation Trust and Spire against the Primary Care Quality Scheme (PCQS) plan 2016/17.

    Use of E-Referral has increased to 78% from a baseline of 56%.

    Ambulatory Care Sensitive Admissions reduced by 13.3% against plan.

    Enhanced Primary Care in ‘Care Homes’ service commencing April 2017 to deliver a 10% targeted reduction in admissions from care homes from 2016/17 baseline.

    100% of Wirral patients are able to access routine GP services over 7 days The Wirral Primary Care GP Access Hubs will be operational from May 2017 in each of Wirral’s Parliamentary constituencies. The service will be delivered in addition to core GP contracted hours providing a minimum of 186 additional GP appointments each week over 6/7 days (subject to the outcome of the Pilot).

    >85% of patients have a ‘good’ experience of accessing GP services or a 3% increase

    90% of patients have rated their overall experience of their General Practice as ‘Very Good’ or ‘Good’. We continue to be above the England average for the percentage of patients who have a ‘Good’ experience of accessing GP services (National GP Patient Survey).

    100% of Primary commissioning decisions with CCG involvement The CCG currently undertakes formal joint commissioning arrangements enabling it to locally determine the primary care delivery model and primary care service design in conjunction with NHS England. This is further supported by the establishment of the Primary Medical Care Co-commissioning Committee (PMCCC), a sub-committee of the Governing Body.

    As part of our application for level 3 delegated commissioning of primary care, a survey was carried out in January 2017 with our members. The outcome of the survey was not to proceed with the application. In 2017 further work will be carried out with our members supported by a robust communications and engagement plan, which has been agreed with the PMCCC. The aim of this work will be to submit an application by December 2017 for level 3 - fully delegated commissioning. If successful, the change would be effective from April 2018.

    100% of Wirral practices are a member of a GP Federation Two emerging GP Federations have been formed to represent unit GP practices as provider groups – Wirral GPW-Fed Limited and Primary Care Wirral Limited.

    All Wirral practices are members of one of the Federations; we will continue to work with the two Federations in 2017/18.

    At least maintain the overall number of the primary care workforce across all roles

    100% of primary care staff are able to access training

    2016/17 Operational Plan - Update Report

    New out of hospital NHS RightCare Pathways are being developed for implementation in April 2017. These will aim to move Wirral to the top quartile range of RightCare CCGs.

    All primary care staff are able to access training via Bluestream Academy, an online e-learning resource. 4 Protected Learning Time (PLT) half day events are held for GPs and Nurses annually.

    Investment allocation of £29k provided to GP Federations for reception training.

    23 practices embarked on the GP Improvement Programme.

    Deflection of 15% low acuity/primary care presentations away from A&E Streaming has been pushed over several keys dates, deflecting over 15% of presentations away from ED. This has overall supported capacity through the front door.

    Estate that is fit for delivering new models of urgent careDelivery of care in the right place by the right professionalFeedback used to inform new care model developmentIncrease in low acuity trauma referrals Wirral Community NHS Foundation Trust's Minor Injuries Unit located at Victoria Central Hospital has piloted a pathway for the

    management of low acuity trauma referrals to be managed away from the main hospital site. The findings of this pilot will be incorporated into the transformation for urgent care.

    Improved patient flow through the healthcare system Wirral has focussed on improving patient flow through the hospital and recently instigated a transfer of care group to support seamless journeys for patients including the principle of Home First.

    3.5% reduction in non-elective admissions Care closer to home schemes e.g. rapid response and ICCT have contributed to 2.7% reduction in non-elective admissions. A number of new schemes will be implemented in 2017/18 to ensure the 3.5% target is achieved.

    Aligned, clinically consistent, cost effective services The Urgent Care Alliance has been superseded by the Urgent Care Transformation Group. A period of engagement will be undertaken from May 2017 with all key stakeholders to propose potential options for the future this will include a review of clinical governance, contracting and funding arrangements.

    3% reduction in non-elective attendances Care closer to home schemes supported via BCF have contributed to reducing non elective admissions by offering pathways and services i
