2.1 Risk Register The Governing Body reviewed the Risk Register. PE gave an update on the discussions and recommendations from the February Quality and Performance (QP) Committee (where the risk register is considered in detail): 16-17C – An Action Pla n has been received by the Serious Incident Group, but some concerns remained and hence were raised at WUTH and CCG Board to Board held on 17th February 2018. The CCG is also planning to undertake a quality and safety visit on 27th February 2018. Until outcome of this and feedback following Board to Board are known, scores proposed to remain the same. 16-17D – The RTT Strategic Board has met and additional funding from NHS England to undertake audit has been agreed. Harm reviews have also been undertaken. No change to scores was proposed and will be next due for review at March 2018 QP. 17/18A – Based on discussion at Finance Committee, members agreed that this action should be closed becau se the CCG cannot ac hieve a break even financial position. A new risk was propose d based on a revised forecast of a £9.8m d eficit. It was recommended that the impact rema ins as a 4 as per previous risk and likelihood was proposed as 3. 17/18B – Still awaiting i nspection at present, so no change and next du e for review at April 2018 QP. 17/18C – LQ updated on Dynamic Purchasing System (Adam) at QP and stated patients, homes and local councillors are not satisfied with aspects of the system and hence this is a reputational risk and scores to remain the same, with LQ to look at CHC Programme Board risk register to ensure consistent approach to scoring risk by those CCGs who also use the Adam system. Next due for review at March 2018 QP. Governing Body accepted all the recommenda tions of QP and Finance committ ees around amendments to the Risk Register.

3.1 Chief Financial Officer’s Report MT highlighted to the Governing Body the main headlines in the Finance report, at Month 10:

£9.23 million year to date deficit against Resource Limit. Year to date pressures continue to be within NHS Acute contracts predominantly
within the Wirral University Teaching Hospitals NHS FT contract £4.6m and the Liverpool Heart and Chest NHS FT contract £948k.
Continuing Healthcare and other packages of care overspending continues with a year to date pressure of £4.1m.
The CCG has reported a forecast out turn deficit of £9.8m t o NHS England as part of month 10 submissions which is consistent with the month 9 risk adjusted position.
There does however remain significant risk to the CCG in achieving th is £9.8m deficit if acute contracts and packages of care continue to overspend during the remaining months of the financial year.
There is also a further risk should the QIPP p rogramme including mitigating management and clinical actions fail to deliver the forecast savings.
MT advised the Governing Body that the forecast has been agreed by NHS England of a £9.8m deficit and there are still a number of areas that a re being worked on in an attempt to create a more favourable position at the end of the financial year. Finance Committee Chair’s report The Governing Body noted the briefing from the Chair of the Finance Committee. No further comments were made.
GB17-18/0069
4.1 Director of Commissioning’s Report The Governing Body noted the report submitted. NH highlighted the CCG’s delivery of the financial recovery plan and updated on the schemes that are included in it. NH discussed performance against the NHS Constitutional Standards and advised that the A&E and Walk-in centre perfor mance fell below national standard at 78.36%. The Urgent Care Operational Group and QP Committee will be completing some deep dives to investigate the levels of performance further. Referral to Treatment (RTT) has been affected due to winter pressures and, as elect ive activity was cance lled throughout January, there will be a further drop in performance. NH asked t he Governing Body to note the NHS England CCG Improvement and Assessment Dashboard. The Dashboard will be submitted to QP Committee. Wirral Palliative & End of Life Care Strategy 2017 - 2021 NH presented the End of Life Strategy to the Governing Body. The strategy has been developed by the Palliat ive & End o f Life Care Clinical Group and creates a focus to achieve the aspirations of both commissioners and providers. AW noted that the date on the Operational Plan requires updating. The strategy was approved. The implementation of the strategy will be overseen by QP Committee. Ambulance Performance Update

NH advised the Governing Body that the national standards on the ambulance response rate was changed last July and the paper outlines the current performance of North West Ambulance Service (NWAS). NH advised that this paper has been escalated to NHS England (NHSE) and NHS Improvement (NHSI) and the CCG a re awaiting an improvement plan. Con cerns in regards to th e delay in ambulance handovers were discussed. It was agreed by the Governing Body that a risk should be added due to the possible impact that the delay in handovers could have on patients. T his detail of this would be d iscussed at the next QP Co mmittee. It was queried h ow North West Ambulance Service (NWAS) categorise patien ts. NH advised that the r esponse will be reviewed by the QP Committee. ACTION: Risk to be raised at next QP following concerns in relation to the delays of ambulance handovers. Improving Access to Psychological Services (IAPT) Update Jo Watts, Senior Commissioning Manager - Mental Health, joined the meeting to provide the group with an update in regards to the IAPT performance and the future procurement process. JWat advised that the current IAPT provider contract is due to come to an end on the 30th June 2018. The provider has been advised that the contract is going to be re-procured. The secondary care provider contract is in place until March 2019. In an attempt to align both IAPT and Secondary mental health providers’ contracts, there were a number of recom mendations to align the re-pr ocurement processes. The recommended option to the group was to extend the curre nt IAPT provider until March 2019 to align with the secondary care provider contract term and then refresh the specifications to meet the CCG’s needs in line with the Commissioning Strategy. JWat advised that a quality impact assessment has been completed following the request at the February Private Governing Body. She also advised that the CCG has met with NHS England, NHS Improvement and the current provider to discuss performance. There was a reco gnition of the poor pe rformance but a positive conversation on h ow improvements can be made. There is an interim arrangement to clear the current waiting list which is part of the contract extension. JW at and LQ were asked to conduct harm reviews for the patients currently on the waiting list. ACTION: LQ and Jo Watts to produce a harm review on the current patient waiting list. A number of the Governing Body members e xpressed concerns about extending the contract for a provider that has been underperforming. JWat provided further assurance that the provider will be monitored and that an improvement schedule has been put into place. The Intensive Support Team will also continue to offer support. The contract will be monitored by QP Committee going forward. A vote was held on whether to extend the current contract to supp ort the future commissioning of an integrated service, as some concerns were raised given t he performance of the current provider. PC and HD abstained, but all other members presented voted in support. Therefore, the proposal was approved.

contracts, predominantly within the Wirral University Teaching Hospitals NHS FT contract (£3.6m) and the Liverpool Heart and Chest NHS FT contract (£852k).
Continuing Healthcare overspends also continue with a year to date pressure of £4.8m.
The CCG h as reported a forecast out turn def icit position of £9.8m to NHS England as part of month 11 repo rting which is consistent with month 10 submissions.
There does remain an element of risk to the CCG in ach ieving this £9.8m deficit particularly if NHS acute cont racts and CHC continue to overspend significantly during the final month of the financial year over and above the forecast.
QIPP plans continue to be monitored for 2017/ 18 to ensure delivery against the revised targets.
It is important that focu s remains on the CCG QIPP programme leading into 2018/19 with supporting management and clin ical actions in maintaining the CCG’s expenditure within budgets for the new financial year.
2.0. KEY ISSUES/MESSAGES
2.1. For month 11 the CCG is report ing a year to d ate operational deficit of £8.8m before any further management and clinical actions.
2.2. The table b elow shows the breakd own of this deficit by expenditure area; a more detailed breakdown is shown in Appendix 1.
Report Title Finance Report for the period - 1st April to 28th February 2018
M11 – 2017/18 Financial Year Lead Officer Mike Treharne Recommendations 1. To note the financial position of the CCG at Month 11.
2. To note the high level budget/expenditure summary for 2017/18.
3. To note further risks attached to achieving the 2017/18 revised risk adjusted forecast position.

2.3. The CCG h as reported a year en d forecast out turn position of £9. 8m deficit as at month 11 which is consistent with month 10.
2.4. There remains a significant risk to this position if budget overspends continue within the final month of the finan cial year above what ha s been forecast, and the revised QIPP savings are not delivered.
NHS Contracts
2.5. NHS contracts are overspent by £4.9m at month 11, a favourable move ment of £1.0m from the previous month. Of this fa vourable movement (between M10-M11), £1.0m is attributable to WUTH (see Appendix 2). There has been an adverse mo vement against the Countess of Chester of £146k due to a variety of day case & ele ctive, outpatients and critical care. There have also been a number of less material movements across a range of other NHS contracts (see appendix 1).
2.6. Liverpool Heart & Chest over performance of £852k co ntinues to be driven b y pressures within day case catheters and pacemaker activity which is likely to contin ue for the remainder of this financial year. The CCG has met with Liverpool Heart & Chest to discuss t his over pe rformance which relate s to a change in clinical pathway that commenced in February 2016.
2.7. WUTH activity performa nce data as at the end of February shows an over spend of £3.6m against a prof iled plan including penalties (see Appendix 2). The total contract performance element is overspending by £4.5m including significant over performance for the year to date in the PbR driven elemen ts of the co ntract, most notably non-elective (inc X BD’s) and A&E activity (£9.7m and £0.5m respectively). This posit ion does take into account the YTD risks associated with t he Rightcare and refer ral management QIPP assumptions and these are also included within the forecast outturn projections.
NHS Wirral Clinical Commissioning Group - Governing Body Meeting - Tuesday 10th April 2018 Page 18 of 51
GOVERNING BODY REPORT
Non NHS Contracts
2.8. Non NHS contracts are under spent by £1.7m at the end of Fe bruary. This is predominantly due to the Spire Murrayfield cont ract underspending by £1.5m (£171k favourable movement from the January position). This p osition is based on Ja nuary data including an estimate for F ebruary activity with underperformance against all points of delivery; however these reduced activity levels are not expected to contin ue indefinitely. Locally commissioned services are also underperforming by £346k at t he end of February, largely due to physio.
Prescribing
2.9. The position at the en d of Februa ry is £626k overspent, based on 9 months a ctual prescribing data and 2 months estimate. This includes a brought forward pressure from 2016/17 of £100k.
2.10. There are still poten tial issues in respect of category M savings and NCSO (No Cheaper Stock Obtainable) supply issues and these are being worked through with th e CSU Medicines Management Team and the CCG BI team. Whilst this is a nat ional issue there is a significant pressure for the CCG of circa £2m forecast to the end of the financial year. Figures are reported monthly t o NHS Eng land, their guidance is to include these pressures within the year to date position and now within the year end forecast outturn position (a change from month 9 ). The CCG continues t o report these pressures on this basis in line with NHS England expectations.
Continuing Healthcare
2.11. As at the end of Feb ruary, Packages of Care are £4.8 m overspent, an adver se movement of £680k from the January reported position. Of this, fully funded continuing healthcare packages are £4.4m overspent. This is du e to an ong oing trend of increases in new packages approved with backdated cost s, high package cost s and fewer than anticipated packages ceasing in year.
2.12 Joint Funded CHC is £65k underspent spent year to date; we have seen a fur ther favourable movement in month of £277k (between M10-11) in addition to the favourable movement of £470k that we saw between months 9-10. Th e key reason for this swing follows the outcome of a detailed review of ceased packages undertaken by the admin team.
2.13 Funded Nursing Care is £355k underspent at month 11, this is based on the information provided by the CHC team and populated within the Broadcare database.
2.14 Fully funded Personal Health bu dgets (PHB’s) are £49 6k over sp ent an adverse movement of £58k in month.
2.15 CHC Children is showing an under spend of £109k.

GOVERNING BODY REPORT
Primary Care
2.16 At the end of February Primary Care budgets are £34k under spent. This is largely due to Think P harmacy (level 1 only provided) and some small benefit s from 201 6/17 fallouts.
Better Care Fund
2.17 The Better Care Fund pooled budget shows a £28k favourable variance at the end of February. This continu es to b e due to differ ences between a num ber of 201 6/17 accruals and actual payments made. Any known slippage or pressures will be managed via the Better Care Fund Board.
Other (Incl Reserves)
2.18 An element of the contingency reserve was utilised in month 2 to fund the prescribi ng practice budgets. The remaining £1.3m of this contingency (previously profiled in month 12) was re-profiled in month 9 which has now offset some of the YTD pressures such as NHS contract over performance and QIPP slippage.
2.19 Headroom of £2.4m (0.5%) remains uncommitted and profiled in M12, under instruction from NHS England. N HS England has confirmed this re source is to be relea sed in month 12 to support the CCG’s deficit position in line with similar directions issued at the end of 2016/17.
2.20 The reported reserves overspend of £94k as at the end of February rel ates primarily to realised pressures from 2016/17.
2.21 A breakdown of other expenditure including reserves as at 28th February is shown below, all reserves are profiled in M12 with th e exception of the £1.3 m contingency which has now been profiled across the financial year (as mentioned above) and all are now fully committed including the 0.5% headroom referenced in section 2.19 above.

Running Costs 2.22 Running cost budgets are £116k under spent at the end of Februar y which is an
adverse movement of £27k from month 10. Underspends continue t o be driven by vacancies which are par tly offsetting pressures in other areas such as the cost of t he Deloitte reports, Turnaround Director and PMO lead support. There is also a large under spend against the education and training budget which had previously been reported within individual cost centres but has now been centralised under a single cost centre.
QIPP 2.23 For 2017/18, the original QIPP plan was set at £12.275m, of this we h ave reported to
NHS England an underachieveme nt of £2.1m for the ye ar to date (note this now excludes operational pressures). This is predominantly due to an under achievement in non-elective referral management schemes and PLCP.
2.24 The projections included within t his report shows overall achievement of £9.9 8m against the QIPP plan for the full year and this forecast has been built into the overall forecast out-turn positon outlined in section 2 . Any slipp age from t his £9.98m will require further mitigating management and clinical actions to ensure the rev ised forecast outturn is achieved.
2.25 The following table shows the QIPP plan and the forecast ag ainst the various programme areas before any further management and clinical actions:

2.26 There has been a fav ourable movement in QIPP forecast ach ievement for 2017/18. This is due to a sign ificant change in the PLCP values for month 9. T he average for April – Sept was £1.3m, Oct – Nov £ 1.47 but Dec is £0.97. The forecast for M10 -12 is £1.173 per month which is based on M1-9 and hence lower than the estimates used in M10. It is expected for January to be lower due to the cancellation of Elective activity. In addition to t his the baseline on which the PLCP savings plan was based has be en adjusted to reflect the full year 2016/17 activity in these areas, effectively increasing the starting point from which any savings from the scheme should be measured.
Risks
2.27 The remaining key risks for the CCG in 2017/18 are the achievement of a substantial recurrent QIPP programme of £12.275m, and ensuring operational/contract expenditure is managed within the financial plan set at the start of 2017/18.
2.28 The CCG has reported a fore cast year end d eficit out tur n position of £9.8m. T his position includes the impact of Prescribing ‘No Cheape r Stock Obtainable’ (NCSO) pressures at £2m.
2.29 As reported last month, the CCG in prior months has devised a worst, most likely and best case scenario for the out turn position, ho wever given that we are drawing clo ser to the end o f the financial year, CCGs have be en asked by NHS Engla nd to tie down positions and refrain from any ad verse material move ments. Given there is 1 month remaining of the financial year, there still remain s an element of risk to t he CCG’s year end position from significant adverse movements in contracts and continuing healthcare and / or the QIPP programme including mitigating management and clinical a ctions fail to deliver the revised forecast of £9.98m.
Underlying Position 2.30 The CCG’s initial requirement was to achieve a break even p osition this financial year,
however as mentioned elsewhere in this p aper the CCG has report ed a year en d forecast deficit position of £9.8m. There remains a significant risk to this position if there are any material movements within the f inal month of th e financial year particularly within acute contracts and continuing healthcare or if the revised QIPP forecast is not

delivered. I t must also be noted t hat the CCG still ha s a cumulative deficit of £7.1m brought forward from 2016/17.
Cash Management
2.31 The recorded CCG cas h book balance at the end of February was £9k. This is in line with current NHS England guidance that CCGs hold cash balances up to 1.25% of the current month cash drawdown.
2.32 The BPPC (Better Payment Practice Code) monitors public sector organisations on t he timeliness of its financial payment s both in terms of vol ume and value. Guidance recommends 95% of payments are made wi thin 30 days, the CCG performance was 99.76% for February. The followin g table shows the number of invoices pa id against target.

2.33 The total debt for the C CG at the end of Febru ary is £4.4m which includes a debtor raised to NHSE for £4m in relation to GP IT Capital. Of the £400k outside of the NHSE invoice, £213k is overdue. The CCG continues to take a more pro-active approach in chasing older debts an d continues to work jointly with the finance shared team to recover older outstanding debts.
2.34 Expenditure incurred a bove £25k is colle cted monthly a nd published on the CCG

3.0. CONCLUSION
3.1. NHS Wirral CCG’s Governing Body is asked to note:
The financial position at month 11. The forecast out turn deficit position of £9.8m.

The further risks to achieving this foreca st deficit position for the financial year 2017/ 18 if there are any material movements in expenditure or QIPP delivery during the final month of the financial year.
It is important that focus remains on the CCG QIPP programme leading into 2018/19 with supportin g management and clin ical actions in managing CCG budgets for the new financial year.

GOVERNING BODY REPORT
1. INTRODUCTION Further to the IAPT update report presented in March 2018 and the requirement to agree the proposed trajectories for submission to NHS England (NHSE) and NHS Improvement (NHSI), this report provides an updated plan and delivery model which has been co-produced by the provider and commissioner outlining the trajectories and associated actions to improve the Wirral IAPT performance during the period of April 2018 – March 2019. To enable the development of the delivery plan, a meeting was held between the provider and Commissioning lead supported by the Clinical Lead for Mental Heal th from the CCG. This meeting was held on the 15th March 2018 which resulted in a draft proposal being submitted to NHSE and NHSI on the 15th March 2018 (Appendix 1) in line with the requested timeframes. The submission outlined the proposed trajectories for improvement and confirmed the need to further “test” some of the assumptions made within the planning return through the involvement of the Intensive Support Team (IST). The IST lead visited the service on the 20th March and has offered some high level views on the proposals submitted.
2. KEY ISSUES / MESSAGES
2.1 The provider and CCG have work ed collaboratively to develop a plan to improve IAPT performance through the extension of the contract term from July 2018 to March 2019 supported by additional investment. Initial projections for additional investment were provisionally agreed as an additional £419,671 to achieve continued waiting list reduction and increase to access targets, this would result in overall contract value of £3,279,000.
2.2 It should be noted that the additional investment was calculated on the basis of IST assumptions of national IAPT services. Given the historic demand on Wirral IAPT services and the level of complexity presenting to the service based on demographic information, at Step 3 (out side of national trends), the provider was asked to remodel the additional investment required to ensure that the trajectories identified are achievable and sustainable.

GOVERNING BODY REPORT
2.3 Whilst the provider has tried to remain within a lower cost envelope this posed additional risk in
that the investment may not meet clinical need and deliver the reduced waiting list and improved access identified within the delivery plan.
2.4 The provider ha s submitted an options appraisal identifying 3 options for in vestment and workforce configuration for deci sion. Appendix 2 details the Options Appraisal. Given the complexity of the patients presenting to the service historically requiring step 3 intervention, the Senior Commissioning Lead would recommend that Option 3 is agreed as the preferred option for implementation, this has been further supported by the IST lead following her vi sit to the service and is endorsed by our Mental Health Clinical Lead. Governing B ody are asked to consider the proposals and discuss this recommendation. Option 3 would result in an investment of £616,322 resulting in an overall contract value of £3,475,651.
2.5 The delivery plan attached in Appendix 1 outlines the trajectories to deliver the following
national standards:
Access to first treatment - 18wk (95% per month) Access to first treatment - 6wk (75% per month) Waiting clearance times (<10 weeks) Recovery rate (50% rolling qtr) Access rate (16.8%)
2.6 In line with IST recommendations the provider and CCG have agreed that the primary focus for
service delivery is the removal of the waiting list. The additional waiting list monies will continue (circa 285,000 – 18/19) and the provider will continue to submit bi-weekly patient tracker reports to support the monitoring of the reduction and provide assurance to the CCG. The most recent tracker demonstrates clearance of 559 patients who have been removed from the waiting list since the initiative commenced in November 17. This is in excess of the i nitial projected 400 from the provider.
2.7 It is projected that a continued reduction of circa 147 pat ients per month will be achieved, this
projection has been based on performance to date and will be facilitated through the additional investment identified earlier within the report (£616,322). The provider is current ly exploring alternative solutions to support the waiting list reduction including agency staff, use of digital platforms etc.
2.8 As the primary focus of the service delivery is to reduce the current waiting list, the CCG and
provider have agreed t hat the access target should only be increased once this has been achieved. Given the access level delivered during 2017/18 is currently at 8.82%, it is appropriate that we agree an improvement target of 16.8% access to be delivered with effect from October 2018 once the waiting list has been reduced.
2.9 It is acknowledged that current confidence in the service delivery from key stakeholders and the public are impacting on lower levels of referrals being made to t he service, this in turn is impacting on the ability to achieve access standards and that referrals are more likely to be from the moderate to severe patient cohort.
NHS Wirral Clinical Commissioning Group - Governing Body Meeting - Tuesday 10th April 2018 Page 30 of 51
GOVERNING BODY REPORT
2.10 The improvement target of 16.8% delivers a stretch to the current provider and will result in an approx. increase of 50% more referrals being needed to deliver the target. In order to manage the risk of any significant increase of referrals, the CCG proposes to increase access levels over the periods 18/19 and 19/20 to ensure patient safety and sufficient workforce capacity to deliver. It is acknowledged that this will not deliver the constitutional target of 19% access for 2018/19.
2.11 The revised trajectories will also allow for robust stakeholder communications and engagement to support the delivery of 16.8% access. The CCG has developed a communication plan to support this achievement. (appendix 3)
2.12 The communication plan has clinical leadership from the Mental Health Clinical lead to support the communication to GPs and other health partners to increase referrals into the service. Further work will be undertaken over the coming weeks to identify which targeted groups should be considered to support this plan i.e. long term conditions and self-referrals including those 65+.
2.13 To support the delivery of the increased capacity the provider has identified the need f or additional premises to support group therapy provision across 5 days a week. The commissioner is currently liaising with public health colleagues to explore alternative venues that could offer this resource; in addition the provider is exploring the possibility of extending current premises and the associated costs.
3 IMPLICATIONS 3.1 To ensure the delivery of the continued reduction of the waiting list and the increase to access
standards there is an additional financial investment required of either £419,671 or £616,322 dependent on which option is agreed.
3.2 Despite the additional investment, the CCG will not meet IAPT constitutional targets relating to access or recovery for 2018/19. The projections identify that access of 16.8% will be achieved on a pro rata basis from October 2018 against national target of 19% and recovery will achieve 40% against national standard of 50%.
3.3 A robust communication plan will need to b e implemented to ensure sufficient referrals from professionals and self-referrals to ensure deliver y of the increased access standard. Current attrition from referral to entering treatment is approx. 40%, therefore to achieve the access standard; there will need to be an average of 950 referrals to the service each month.
3.4 Additional premises need to be secured to ensure delivery of waiting list reduction and increased access without impacting on the investment to increase staffing levels and within the financial envelope.
3.5 Recruitment will need to commence immediately to ensure additional resource is employed to meet planned trajectories, the provider is conf ident that this should be achievable given their understanding of the market and those individuals completing relevant training qualifications. The CCG and provider will continue to work collaboratively to access nat ional training places and training relating to Long Term Condition which will support ongoing natural attrition. The increase of workforce will place the CCG in a stronger position to achieve the access standard of 19% in 2019/20 and any ongoing increases.

GOVERNING BODY REPORT
3.6 To support the delivery of the plan a risk sharing agreement has been developed to identify the
expectations and accountability of both the CCG and the provider in delivering to the plans. If either party fail to adhere to the principles agreed, this could impact on the successful delivery of the proposed trajectories. Appendix 4 details the risk sharing agreement.
4. CONCLUSION
Governing Body is asked to:-
1. To note update on the IAPT progress 2. To decide on the option appraisal for additional investment 3. To approve the proposed delivery plan and associated trajectories for submission to NHS
England, noting the failure to achieve national constitutional standards 4. To endorse the communications and engagement plan 5. To agree the risk sharing agreement

Appendix 2 ‐ Inclusion Matters Wirral – Option Appraisal – March 2018
Option 1
Increase to current staffing of:
Staff Type WTE
PWP 10.52
Band 2 Admin 1.77
This increases service capacity to be able to deliver enough Initial Assessment capacity and increase
Step 2 capacity to handle the increased access target of 16.8%.
Option 2
Increase to current staffing of:
Staff Type WTE
HI CBT for 6 months 7.85
Then:
PWP 10.52
Band 2 Admin 1.77
This achieves the same as Option 1 but for the initial 6 months, before the 16.8% access target is
introduced, 7.85 HI CBT therapists can be employed for 6 months to assist in the clearance of the
Step 3 CBT waiting list.
Both of these options are within the current agreed price of £3,279,000
Option 3 – This changes the mix and retains a larger number of PWP’s to ensure we can undertake
assessments and cope with the increased capacity at step 2. It also includes CBT Therapists and this
builds capacity at step 3. This does come with an additional cost of £196,651 and would increase the
overall budget to £3,475,651
Increase to current staffing of:
Staff Type WTE
PWP 9.52
HI CBT 4.8
Band 2 Admin 1.77
This increases the capacity of the service to deliver initial assessments and to increase Step 2
capacity but to also increase Step 3 CBT capacity. This option would involve more people being
stepped up to Step 3 CBT for treatment than option 1 or option 2.

Appendix 3 – Governing Body – IAPT Communications and Engagement Plan – April 2018
Appendix 3 – Wirral IAPT Communications and Engagement Plan
1. Overview
The service is currently operating a waiting list initiative which is proposed to reduce the waiting list by October 2018 ensuring that those patients waiting the longest are prioritised and enter treatment. The provider and commissioner are currently negotiating a contract extension to cover the period July 18-March 19 to enable a full Mental Health contract to be procured. Once the waiting list has reduced the provider will achieve an increase to access and recovery standards with the support of the commissioner. This plan will be delivered in partnership wherever practicable to do so with agreed messages through commissioner and provider.
2. Timeline and narrative March 2018 to October 2018 - waiting list reduction to continue 559 achieved to date (27.03.18) - October 18 – focus on increased access standard - April 18 – March 19 – Mental Health procurement exercise to deliver integrated MH contract (April 19).
3. Key messages - Commitment to invest in service to reduce waiting list - Collaborative discussions to improve access achievement through stakeholder engagement - Patients to have effective, timely treatment - All referrals triaged within 24 hours of receipt and initial needs and risk assessment appointment within 3 weeks - All patients on the waiting list are contacted every 6 weeks to keep in touch, remind about resources available whilst
waiting, what to do if in crisis and for re-confirmation support still required. - Individuals offered group therapy if clinically appropriate

• We will conduct ourselves with honesty and integrity and aim to develop a high degree of trust.
• We will strive to resolve disagreements co-operatively and, wherever possible achieve consensus. We will follow the NHS contract process for challenges faced.
• We will follow the contract performance process where performance fails to achieve the agreed trajectories, whilst considering the impact of any financial penalty on the ability to deliver the standards.
• We will ensure that each partner has met their agreed commitments prior to enforcing any performance action, specifically relating to improving access standards through proactive communication by the CCG.
• We will promote an environment of improvement with delivery of high quality, performance and accountability together with a low need for bureaucracy.
• We will adopt and foster an open, honest and transparent approach to communication and sharing information. This will include sharing information regarding financial risk.
• We will seek to make the best use of finite resources in planning and delivering services in order to achieve the best outcomes for patients.
• The Provider will use any slippage from the additional investment to address the waiting list to ensure clearance to an acceptable level whilst recruiting staff.

This report summarises the progress to date of the Beacon Practice Bloo d Pressure project, which is now just over a year into its intende d two yea r lifespan. 1. Why was the project set up?
a. It has long been rec ognised that poorly controlled hypertension carries
significant cardiovascular risk for patients. Almost all of the major types of cardiovascular disease including st roke, ischaemic heart disease, heart failure and Atrial fibrillation hav e hypertension as one of their main aetiological factors.
b. There is clear economic evidence t hat treating hypertension effectively on
a population basis carries significant cost benefits to the NHS over the medium to long term apart from indiv idual benefit to pati ents in terms of reduction of premature morbidity and mortality. In addition, hypertension is simple to diagnose and has a r ange of effective treatments, which have been well documented through successive British Hypertension Society guidelines and robust evidence based NICE standards.
c. There is clear evidence both nationally as well as locally that hypertension
remains both under diagnos ed and under treated. On Wirral it has been calculated that th ere are over 35,000 pat ients with undiagnosed hypertension and of those diagnosed, only 45% are treated to a minimal target of 150/90 (in Canada, where they have been running an outstanding hypertension programme for many years, the figure is now well over 65%). Wide variation across practices is also evident. With all of this in mind, it is clear that there is scope for significant improvement locally.
d. NHS England and Public Health have made treating hypertension a key
priority in recent years. Treating hypertension been accepted as a core work stream in the recent regional card iovascular STP and the public health consortium working across the Mers ey and Cheshire region known as CHAMPS produced an impressive and ambitious strategy in 2016 called ‘Saving Lives, Reducing Press ure’ that seeks to drive coordinate and support work tacking this issue. http://www.champspublichealth.com/sites/default/files/FINAL%20BP%20Strategy%2017.5.16_0.pdf

2. How was the project set up?
a. After a successful Wirral Hypertension Summit in 2016 and the
establishment of a local hypertension board, the ‘Beacon Practic e Blood Pressure Project’ was developed in order to explore different ways of improving hypertension care within a local primary care setting.
b. Following a selection process (further details av ailable on request), five
practices were chosen to take part. The following four practices remain active in the project (the fifth withdr ew after nine months citing workload commitments, but continues to send in monitoring data):
Paxton Medical Centre Somerville Medical Centre Eastham Medical Centre The Warrens Medical Centre
c. Whilst participation in this project is entirely voluntary, an informal ‘contract’
was set up with each practice that clarif ied the expectations of the practice (eg to attend regular development se ssions, to share data, to develop an action plan) and also clarified the s upport that would be available to the Beacon practices (eg the loan of equi pment, education & training, support with data systems).
d. The project was designed to run for tw o years and is jointly supported by
Wirral CCG and Wirral Public Health. e. Practices were initially tasked with reviewing their current systems, policies
and practices in relation to blood pressure detection and management. They were then asked to develop individual action plans to address the following key issues:
How to increase the numbers of patients being appropriately tested and
diagnosed with hypertension through opportunistic screening and better overall community links
How to manage est ablished hypertension patients more effectively within primary care
How to empower more patients to monitor and treat their own hypertension more effectively
NOTE: A key principle of this project is that practices would have the freedom to test out ways that t hey believe may improve t he management of BP within the practice setting. With this in mind, each practice has chosen to focus upon specific elements of BP management.

3. Activity to date Practices have: a. Produced detailed individual action plans and have continued to meet on a
quarterly basis throughout the progr amme to discuss progress (and barriers).
b. Helped to design and have subsequent ly had access to an interactive
dashboard (produced by the IT department of the CCG) that shows overall progress against NICE standards and numbers of patients treated.
c. Developed their own templates to improve overall data collection within the
practice and to ensure that all appropria te initial inves tigations are being performed.
d. Had access to a training progra mme designed, run and delivered by the
British Heart Foundation (BHF has al so provided some promotional materials).
e. Had dedicated IT training from an independent contractor to help wit h
individual practice template production to enhance data collection and audit capability
f. Contributed to the development of Community Testing Guidelines for
Cheshire & Merseyside (which are now being used widely) g. Contributed to the development of a dedicated EMIS web based template
for the management of blood pressure. h. Led the Primary Care session within the Cheshire & Merseyside BP event
(held in April 2017). The event built on the two years of progress since the C&M High Blood Pressure ‘call to ac tion’ event co-hosted by P HE and Champs in 2015 and was attended by over 60 delegates from a range of sectors and organisations
Related activity: i. Community testing events have tak en place throughout the past year in
order to i ncrease awareness of blood pressure amongst the local population. To date, approximatel y 4,000 tests have been carried out through this route, with an average of 25-27% falling into the ‘higher than optimal’ category and 3% having very high blood pressure (>180mmHg).
j. In March 2017 Champs and PHE with a number of system partners was
successful in a joint bid for Britis h Heart Foundation (BHF) funding to support innovative ways to detect high BP in community settings. A second bid, aimed at increasing testing capacit y within the community, is currently awaiting a decision.

4. Progress and impact to date NOTE: The Wirral Beacon Practice work features significantly in the annual report for the Cheshire & Merseyside Blood Pressure Strategy http://www.champspublichealth.com/news/annual-report-cheshire-merseyside-blood-pressure-strategy-released-today a. The table below compares the per formance of Beacon Practices vs non-
Beacon practices on NICE Hypertension Quality Standards (March 2018). From these figures, the Beacon Practices appear to have demonstrated:
An improved rate of detection of new hypertensives (NM66) which has
been accompanied by a significant r eduction in hidden hypertensives e.g. patients receiving medication but not coded as being hypertensive
A significant increase in adherenc e to the recommended tests as per NICE guidelines (eg NM75/76/77)
b. Whilst performance against the ‘overall BP management’ standards (NM53
and NM54) is showing no significant difference between the two groups, this data is under review. Quer ies run from the indiv idual Beacon Practice systems are showing a much higher per formance than that of the Wirral CCG dashboard. This will be reported on in due course.

c. Beacon Practices are now using specific Hypertension templates as a tool
for management of high blood pressure.
d. Levels of self-monitoring have improved. With concerted effort and attention eg highly visible self-testing areas within waiting rooms, it has been possible
NHS Wirral Clinical Commissioning Group - Governing Body Meeting - Tuesday 10th April 2018 Page 48 of 51

for one of the practices to achieve 8-10% of all BP readings per month to be via self-monitoring.
e. Three of the four Beacon Practi ces have attached pharmacies that have
been registered as Healthy Living P harmacies (HLPs) and are undergoing additional training to enable them to do more BP testing and monitoring of patients with particular emphasis on compliance with medication
5. Discussion points and further recommendations a. Despite working in very challenging times for Primary Care, four out of the
original five practices remain commi tted to the projec t and deserve much credit for doing so. A pragmatic appr oach has been crucial to ma intaining the commitment of the practices invo lved. Acknowledging that progress against action plans must take plac e within the context of changing priorities, pressures, workloads and staff changes has been an important feature of this work to date. Recomm endations arising from this work will not be implemented successfully if the reality of daily life within general practice has not been taken into account.
b. At present, compar ison data of Beacon Practice performance vs non-
Beacon Practices on overall hypertension control (eg NM53) is not reliable enough to share. Reflections from prac tices at this stage is that making improvements to various elements of the system within practice takes time. As is evident from the audit fi gures, clear improvements have been achieved against specific elements of blood pressure management /quality standards, but this cannot yet be tr anslated into overall control improvements.
c. It is increasingly clear that an effective well-motivated, trained and correctly
resourced practice nursing team can lead the delivery of good basic hypertension care. This allows GP principals to focus on confirmation of initial diagnosis, making treatment changes and involvement in more complex cases.
d. The mandatory use of hypertension templates by all relevant clinical staff
would appear to be necessary to ensure good data capture and the organisation of an effective recall system
e. To date, there is little evidence of a significant population shift in the
awareness of good blood pressure control amongst the general population. Whilst this continues to form a major part of the Wirral action plan, Public Health England needs to do more to promote this message and the benefits of healthy lifestyle in treating and preventing the condition. The national ‘Know Your Numbers’ campaign needs greater traction.
f. More support needs to be given to developing and promot ing patient self
empowerment tools including the use of technology eg remote monitoring and health related APPs in relative population groups. This is a major focus of the successful Round 1 BHF bid, which is being led by Champs.

g. The role of community pharmacy needs to be much more significant
within the BP strategy (both locally and across Cheshire & Merseyside). The recent increase in Health Living Pharmacies has created a potential opportunity. This will be further explored over the coming months.
h. Wirral Public health and CHAMPS have been overwhelming supportive but
CCG involvement to date has been rela tively low key but the necessary implementation of STP polices on hypertension may require Wirral CCG to become more active involv ed in supporting and promoting the Beacon Practice work. The pressure on the need to find short-term solutions to financial pressures by the CCG is understandable, but a long-term investment strategy within practices to improve Hypertension care would pay greater economic benefits
i. With the predicted imminent demis e of the QOF scheme of payments,
urgent CCG consideration should be given to allowing the participation in a Beacon Practice project to be included in any list of incentive payment schemes that until recently have been limited to prescribing, admission and referral rates. Similar incentive pay ments could be offered for other well-evaluated QI schemes
6. Next steps The Beacon Practice BP project has anothe r nine months to run. During this time, practices will continue to implement their individual action plans and we will use the collec tive knowledge and experiences to i nform final recommendations. In addition to the work of the Beacon Practices, local activity will include: Attendance by the project clinical lead, support team and Beacon Practice
representatives at Wirral PLT events in order to share learning on local blood pressure work.
