Title
NHS Bexley CCG - Commissioning Intentions 2016+
This paper is for Decision
Recommended action for the Governing Body
That the Governing Body: Approve The CCG’s Commissioning Intentions for 2016+
Potential areas for Conflicts of interest
None known.
Executive summary
Over the past year the CCG has been developing its commissioning intentions for the next 2 year period (in detail) with stakeholders from across the health economy, fundamental to their development has been GP engagement and the significant input of our GP clinical leads. This will form the basis of our strategy for the coming years. The South East London 5 year strategy (Our Healthier South East London), which articulates the key themes where the 6 local commissioning organisations have agreed to work collaboratively, lies at the core of the document and is then supplemented by uniquely local requirements. This ensures that our plans dovetail smoothly with planning and delivery across South East London (our Strategic Transformation Plan STP level). An initial GP engagement event took place in June 2015, and the GP clinical leads then met across the summer of 2015 to arrive at the draft plans. An engagement event was organised by the CCG on 3 November 2015 with representatives from patients, local NHS, independent and third sector providers as well as key commissioning partners such as London Borough of Bexley. Participants were invited to comment on the draft Commissioning Intentions and take part in a break out session focusing on one of the priority areas for change. The draft plans were discussed and there was support for these.

Since November 2015 CCG teams have continually updated the document to reflect emerging national and local changes. Bexley CCG has utilised bench marking tools provided by NHS England to ensure that all areas for service improvement are investigated and acted upon. The document has been updated to include new areas of opportunity identified in this way. The CCG received notice of financial allocations to cover the period to March 31st 2017 from NHS England and a process was undertaken to ensure alignment of the plans with the expected financial settlement. The Governing Body are asked to approve the Commissioning Intentions 2016+.
How does this paper support the CCGs objectives?
Patients:
The document reconfirms our Joint Health and Wellbeing Strategy priorities as well as embedding self-management for long term conditions. It has integrated and collaborative commissioning with the council and fellow CCGs, as well as NHS England as a key enabler of success. We can achieve more together than apart
People:
Organisation and Workforce Development is one of our six key commissioning “enablers”. Our own Organisational Development Plan guides the development of our own staff and we will work closely with the Academic Health Sciences Centre and Health Education England to maximise innovation and plan for the necessary changing workforce that will support the Community Based Care approach.
Pounds:
The document sets out three financial scenarios: upside, downside and base- case. The QIPP has been extensively modelled, tested and challenged through our Programme Office approach which is set out. Financial Sustainability is one of the four key “pillars”. The inclusive CCG-wide approach taken means that financial sustainability and quality/safety have been worked on in a balanced way, together.
Process: The document serves as the foundation for our Operating Plan. The document has a strong focus on quality and safety with a clear set of short term and strategic priorities which will be advanced both through strong contractual review working with neighbouring CCGs and by continuing the journey of cultural change set out by Francis and Berwick. Involvement of patients and the public, together with good clinical engagement will ensure that we triangulate hard and soft quality trends and build an open, enabling approach. The JSNA refresh is indicating that our priorities are the right

ones still, but that we now need to gear them to the areas of greatest deprivation within Bexley by fine-tuning our interventions by ward, gender, deprivation, age and ethnicity.
What are the Organisational implications
Key risks
Equality
The need to gear existing programmes and show how we intend to impact on those in greatest need. This will need considerable Equality Impact Assessment work.
Financial
The risks are well known and the main elements that need careful negotiation are the split between CCG and NHS England (specialised commissioning) budgets and reaching agreement on the Transformation Fund.
Data
Legal issues
NHS constitution
We will integrate all actions to meet Constitution standards into our mainstream plans. The document has a separate chapter that transparently sets out our red areas and proposes action plans.
Engagement
There has been wide engagement in the development of our Commissioning Intentions and there will be continuing discussion and iteration of these plans with all our stakeholders, providers and partners.
Patient and public involvement is embedded throughout the individual programmes and projects that form our commissioning intentions. It is anticipated that engagement and consultation will be undertaken as appropriate for each specific area as it is developed.
Audit trail
Financial position and plans are regularly considered by the Finance Working Group. PCAG has been engaged and Executive Management Committee has received periodic updates. Draft versions of the plan have been shared with the Governing Body.
Comms plan
Once agreed by the governing body, the commissioning intentions document will be officially launched at the GP engagement event on 14th April 2016.
The documents will be published on a new page of the CCG’s public website and publicised via the CCG bulletin, locality briefings, staff briefings, stakeholder updates and Twitter.

1. Introduction
3
NHS Bexley Clinical Commissioning Group (CCG) plans (the CCG), purchases (or „commissions‟) and monitors
the majority of health services accessed by Bexley residents (with the exception of specialised services which are
commissioned by NHS England, and primary care services which it now co-commissions with NHS England).
In 2014 the CCG produced our Commissioning Intentions strategy document, that explained our high-level plans
and areas of focus this document updates the 2014 documents and sets out NHS Bexley CCG‟s strategic
direction of travel for 2016/17 onwards.
To establish what the commissioning intentions for 2016/17 are, the CCG considers the health needs of local
people, health challenges and ensures its plans align to other key strategic documents such as, the NHS Five
Year Forward View, the Joint Strategic Needs Assessment and the Our Healthier South East London strategy.
Engagement is also key to the development of commissioning intentions. The CCG has worked alongside the GP
practice community, its clinical leads, patients and patient/community groups, voluntary sector organisations,
providers, local authority partners and others to produce this document and will throughout the year, keep these
key groups updated on the progress being made against it.
To help articulate its plans, the CCG will develop (as it has in previous years) a Plan on a Page, which will
highlight the key focus areas for 2016/17 as well as the priority schemes of work and provides an aide memoire,
this is shown at page 5 of this document.

2.Chairperson and Chief Officer‟s Introduction
4
We are pleased to share NHS Bexley Clinical Commissioning Group‟s (CCG) commissioning plans for healthcare in Bexley
for 2016 and beyond.
This is our third set of such plans since the CCG was established in 2013 as part of the wider health reforms that saw GPs,
and other clinicians, put in the driving seat of deciding how and where money is best spent.
Working alongside our colleagues and partners we have made great strides in improving healthcare services since our last
plan in 2014. We have delivered an ambitious programme of service development, transformation and improvement – for
example, making massive changes in how musculoskeletal services are provided and the enhancement of urgent care and
out-of-hours provision. Major transformations at Queen Marys and Erith hospitals are underway to develop vibrant centres
of healthcare in the borough.
Much of work over the next few years will be building locally on the Our Healthier South East London programme, which
brings together the six CCGs in south-east London, working alongside partners and patients, to focus on priority health
issues that are best addressed collectively.
Our plans will also be underpinned by the NHS Five year Forward View, which sets out what the NHS needs to do to
improve the population‟s health and the health services that they receive.
We will maintain our strong focus on quality and safety as well as ensuring that patients are at the centre of everything we do.

4. Our track record so far
6
In 2014 we identified the key priorities for the CCG (within our Commissioning Intentions 2014) we set an
ambitious program of services development, transformation and improvement. We are pleased to report that the
CCG delivered against the majority of its priority areas in 2014/15, making it a milestone year for NHS Bexley
CCG and its patients. This was due work led by the CCG, our patients and clinicians, to redesign a number of
services to help join-up care across a number of different providers to ensure patients receive the right care, in
the right place, first time.
For example, the CCG‟s new joined-up musculoskeletal (MSK) service, is providing patients with a much more
rounded picture of care. Patients are initially triaged by a number of health professionals, who help to ensure
patients receive the right treatment first time. Patients receive a more holistic approach to their treatment and are
offered greater choice about where they would like to receive care. The new service has seen waiting times
reduce – from 22 weeks to four for physiotherapy appointments. Patient feedback has been extremely positive
through the CCG mystery shopper scheme. Our new integrated Cardiology services (community & acute
care) are providing better support for patients focusing on faster access, improved health, prevention and
avoiding exacerbations – avoiding admissions to hospitals.
Bexley‟s new urgent and unscheduled care service has helped to revitalise Erith hospital as a hub of activity
with a new urgent care centre (UCC), in operation from 8am to 10pm daily. The UCC at Queen Mary‟s hospital,
open 24 hours a day seven days a week, has remained a popular service with patients in Bexley and beyond.
The pathway also includes a new borough-based GP out-of-hours service. This new service has helped to reduce
the number of Bexley patients accessing accident and emergency departments and in turn, reducing pressure on
the overall health system.

5. Our Vision, Mission and Values
Our Vision, or longer term goal, is for Bexley‟s residents to stay in better health for longer, with the support of good-quality integrated-care, available as close to home as possible – backed up by
accessible, safe and expert hospital services, when they are needed.
Our Mission, or “the job in hand” is Excellent Healthcare; Locally Delivered.
The vision and mission are supported by our Values, which guide how we work, the kind of culture we live by & how we ASPIRE to behave.

6. Our Healthier South East London
Our Healthier South East London is a 5 year commissioning strategy which aims to
improve health and integrated care across south east London. It is the cornerstone NHS
Bexley CCGs Commissioning Strategy.
The programme is led by the six NHS Clinical Commissioning Groups in south east
London – Bexley, Bromley, Greenwich, Lambeth, Lewisham and Southwark – with
commissioners from NHS England (London), working in close partnership with local
authorities; local people and patients; local providers of care and other partners.
Our Healthier South East London focuses on priority health issues which need
collective action to address successfully. Its goals are to improve health, reduce
health inequalities and to ensure the provision of health services that meet safety
and quality standards consistently and are sustainable in the longer term.
This is likely to mean that the way in which some health services are delivered will
change, with more care provided in community settings outside hospital and a
greater focus on helping people to stay well, making services more joined up and
making sure that everyone gets the care and outcomes they expect from their NHS.
Further details on OHSEL and work program are shown later in this document.

7. The NHS 5 Year Forward View (5YFV)
9
The NHS 5 Year Forward View (5YFV) was published in October 2014 and sets out a
clear direction and vision for the NHS showing why change is needed and what it will
look like. It recognises that in the last 15 years the NHS has dramatically improved,
but we can still do more. The key points of the 5YFV are:
• There needs to be radical upgrade in prevention and public health. The NHS
needs to back hard hitting national action on obesity, smoking, alcohol and other
major health risks.
• When people do need health services, then patients need far greater control over
their own care.
• The NHS must take decisive steps to break down the barriers in how care is
provided. It recognises England is too diverse for a “one size fits all” care model,
but we need to support and develop new delivery options (not letting “a 1,000
flowers bloom”). There are opportunities for new integrated care models and
these will be tested and developed, some of these will be similar to Accountable
Care Organisations being used in other countries.
• The national leadership of the NHS needs to act coherently together, and provide
meaningful local flexibility. Growing demand could mean a resource gap of £30
billion a year by 2020/21, action therefore needs to be taken on the 3 fronts of
demand, efficiency & funding to help close the gap.
These Commissioning Intentions and the Our Healthier South East London Strategy
are built on the basis of the 5YFV.

8. Bexley‟s Population Key Statistics
10
Bexley‟s population was 239,865 in 2014, an increase of 10% since the 2001
Census. There was a 6.7% increased in the under 5s, and a 16.6% increase in
aged 65 and over.
Between 2014 and 2021 the Bexley population is predicted to rise by 4.6%, to
250,900 people and to 266,600 by 2030 (an 11.5% increase). The most
significant growth is predicted amongst the 0-15 year age band and in those
aged 65+. Our growing population places pressure on all public services.
The fastest growing ethnic group in Bexley is Black/ African/ Caribbean/ Black
British, now making up 8.5% of the total population.
The Index of Multiple Deprivation (IMD) places Bexley in decile 4 (1 being least
deprived and 10 being most deprived). However, this overall average position
masks important areas of deprivation and higher need, most notably in the
north and the south east of the borough.
Life expectancy at birth for both males and females in Bexley is above the
national average.
Life expectancy at the age of 65 years in Bexley is also above the national
average for both males and females.

10. Quality and Safety
12
NHS Bexley CCG puts quality and patient safety at the heart of commissioning and contracting,
and expects its providers to be able to demonstrate that they have robust clinical governance
arrangements in place to protect patients from harm.
Our Quality & Safety Priorities going forward are:
• To embed learning from incidents, complaints and patient feedback, thereby reducing the
potential for further incidents (e.g. wider use of Quality Alert portal).
• Safeguarding children & vulnerable adults.
• Supporting Quality improvement through greater collaboration between hospital and community
services.
• To improve the quality of information between secondary, primary and community care e.g.
referrals and discharge.
• A better understanding around the prevention of inequality for the vulnerable groups and their
access to treatment.
• A CQUIN strategy that focuses on better outcomes for our patients.
12 of 40
-
11. Performance and outcomes
13
The CCG continues to work with our care providers to deliver significant improvements in
the quality and safety standards across secondary, community and primary care.
In particular:
• Performance and Quality of Care at A&E departments
• Cancer services
• Infection Prevention and Control
• District Nursing
• Implementation of the London Quality Standards (see also Our Healthier SE London)
• Quality of Maternity provision for the women of Bexley (see also Our Healthier SE London)
• End of Life Care (linking through Care Home Forum) (see also Our Healthier SE London)
• Better Outcomes through closer working with Care Homes
• Quality Small Contracts via Provider Assurance Monitoring System (PAMS)
The CCG will implement annual audit work plans to support the drive for better outcomes.

12.1 Patient Participation and Experience
14
We are actively engaging with local residents, patients and their carers in the development of the services
we commission.
We are committed to putting patients at the heart of everything we do, with an equal commitment to
working with patients and the public as partners. Their insight into services provides a valuable “richness”
and perspective and is fundamental to our design, development and monitoring of services.
The CCG also works closely with LBB, BVSC and a range of community, voluntary and faith sector
groups who help us reach many seldom heard communities.
We utilise a number of engagement channels including a Patient Council, who is represented on the
Governing Body and whose membership includes representatives reflecting nine protected characteristics
identified in EDS as well as Patient Participation Group (PPG) representatives and Bexley Healthwatch
Chair.
In 2014 the CCG launched a mystery shopper scheme. The scheme gives patients the chance to be
actively involved in shaping local health services by providing „real time‟ feedback on their experience.
Encouraging health conversations with patients/public enables us to gather additional views and at the
same time empowers people to be more involved in shaping their local NHS.
14 of 40
-
12.2 Patient Participation and Experience
15
The CCG has worked closely with patients/ public to develop and test, then redesign and monitor the
services we commission, some examples of this are:
• MSK Service redesign – developing a patient survey, hosting patient focus groups, recruiting
patients to sit on contract monitoring board
• Cardiology Service redesign – developing a patient survey, in-depth patient interviews, hosting
patient focus groups, engagement sessions with local service user groups
Patients and public representatives have been very involved in developing work around the Our Healthier
South East London strategy and leading a number of local engagement activities to raise awareness and
engage Bexley residents.
Our plans for patient engagement in the service redesigns for the next 2 years include:
• Ophthalmology services (establishment of a programme board with patients at the heart)
• Diabetes redesign
• Children & Young People‟s services

13. The CCG‟s membership
16
The CCG‟s membership is made up of representatives from each of the borough‟s GP practices.
Although decision making has been devolved to the governing body, the CCG works alongside its
members to ensure the services that it commissions are clinically-led, relevant and appropriate.
Our membership is divided into localities (North Bexley, Clocktower and Frognal) and the CCG meets
monthly with those localities. The localities provide current feedback on the quality of services that
provides a clear perspective from the ground up level on how those services are performing or the
opportunity for change.
The CCG has engaged members in the development of 2016/17 development plans by:
• Using quarterly engagement sessions to explain how commissioning plans were met in 2014/15
• Holding workshops with clinical leads and practice managers to identify the priority areas for
2016/17
• Engage GPs via locality meetings
• Communicate updates through public meetings, the GP zone (a secure extranet) and the CCG‟s
fortnightly bulletin.
• Meeting monthly with the localities (with CCG Director level representatives) to receive updates
and provide feedback.

14. Our Finances - Overview
17
The CCG has a Revenue Resource Limit (RRL) for 2016/17 of £299m including £5m for Running Cost
Allowance (RCA). The CCG intends to comply with all business rules for 2016/17, except for the 1% surplus
requirement (we intend to achieve a surplus of £151k). We will ensure that:
• 0.5% contingency is in place
• 1% non-recurrent transformation fund is in place
• A medium term financial strategy is in place to cover the next 5 years.
Our key priorities are to deliver breakeven, remain with running cost allowance and meet Better Payment
Practice Code (BPPC) (payment of 95% of invoices within 30 days).
Our key risks remain acute over performance, prescribing, continuing healthcare and identification of and
delivery of QIPP.
Our risk mitigations are the contingency available, discussions with GP practices on delegated prescribing
for 2nd year, ensuring robust monitoring of acute contracts, exploration of Right Care opportunities and
access to the south east London risk pool.
On the next page we look at how we spend our RRL.

16. QIPP - Financial Overview
19
The QIPP planning requirement is for at least 2% of Revenue Resource Limit
which equates to £5.8m for the CCG. However, the CCG needs to deliver £8.6m
to achieve its statutory breakeven duty. The CCG has a strong track record of
delivering service quality improvements (transformation & innovation) that have
lead to it being successful in delivering its QIPP programs since 2013. We have
robust processes in place to monitor these schemes (via our PMO office). In
2016/17 onwards the cornerstones for our QIPP schemes will be our work on Our
Healthier South East London, together with the NHS 5 Year Forward View. Our
more localised QIPP schemes are:
• Year 1 of our new Integrated and Community Based Pathways for Children
and Young People
• Diabetes – new integrated care pathway (primary care lead)
• Improved “frailty” pathways including Comprehensive Geriatric Assessments
• Ophthalmology – our lead provider framework
• Our GP Referrals project
• Provider productivity (across all contracts)
• End of Life care scheme (linked directly to our Better Care Fund see later in
the document)
• MSK & cardiology – integrated care contracts continued refinement &
improvement
• Corporate Schemes
QIPP stands for Quality, Innovation, Productivity & Prevention. It is a national, regional and local level
programme designed to support clinical teams and NHS organisations to improve the quality of care they
deliver, while making efficiency savings that can be reinvested into the NHS.
The CCG is currently forecasting 80% achievement of its 2015/16 QIPP programme

17. Our Commissioning Strategy - Introduction
20
The following slides show the key components of our Commissioning Intentions (Strategy) – these are
based on two cornerstones – Our Healthier South East London (OHSEL) 5 year strategy and then the NHS
5 Year Forward View (see previous section).
We have sub divided this section into:
1. Overview of the integrated whole system model for Our Healthier South East London
2. Primary & community based care (including Local Care Networks)
3. Planned care services
4. Urgent & emergency care services
5. Maternity services
6. Children & Young People‟s services
7. Cancer services (including End of Life Care)
8. Queen Mary‟s & Erith Hospitals (continued development of our health hub & spoke)
In each of the sub sections we firstly look at the model (and its key features) that we are developing across
south east London, and then add to this the “Bexley centric” initiatives that are that we intend to deliver
over and above the initiatives within the Our Healthier South East London strategy.
The CCG and its members have already come along way in developing services since its formation in 2013
– we have developed new integrated service pathways, and our intention is to build on this sound platform
in the future.

19.1 Bexley‟s Primary Care – overview of intentions
Through our Primary Care development programme we are focusing on the development of our Local Care Networks – through this we aim
to provide quality & equality of services to the population, wrapped around the person as an individual. The diagram below shows the
initiatives and the key tenets of the work program:
24 of 40
-
25
Through our Local Care Networks we intend to harness the power of primary care to provide more
localised services for our community (community based care), wherever possible these will be focused
around or in our 3 GP localities of Clocktower, Frognal and North Bexley.
In addition to the work shown on the previous page we will aim to:
1. Develop an improved, easily accessible & searchable Directory of Services (which includes
charitable, voluntary, health & social care services) providing a resource library of services for
patients and health & social care professionals.
2. Undertake a review of district and community nursing teams ensuring that they are focused on &
accountable to the Local Care Network and its patient‟s needs.
3. Long term conditions, undertake a review of education services (this will be linked to 1. above).
4. Via co-commissioning to assist practices with recruitment and retention.
5. Roll out of social prescribing pilot to all localities (if the pilot is successful).
6. Implementation and embedding of Health Champions in the GP practices.

26. Partnerships and working at scale
37
The CCG is working with the other five SE London CCGs and their co-commissioners from NHS England, London
region, on a five-year commissioning strategy (Our Healthier South East London) that aims to improve health,
reduce health inequalities and ensure the provision of health services across south-east London that meets high
standards of safety and quality and are sustainable in the longer term. The strategy is commissioner-led and
clinically-driven and focuses on issues for people across south-east London, which need collective action to
address them successfully, or where there is clear added value from the commissioners working together. Details
of this strategy are shown earlier in this document.
The CCG will continue to work with London Borough of Bexley (LBB) to further develop integrated commissioning
arrangements, with the emphasis on development of Local Care Networks and integrated care based around GP
localities.
We are working with BVSC and other voluntary sector partners in line with the Building Healthy Partnerships
Programme to implement co-production around:
• Early help for vulnerable children
• Dementia pathways
• Joint commissioning cycle
• Voluntary sector enjoyment with primary care
In addition to the above Bexley CCG continues to work across London with other CCGs and other bodies to
commission at scale and design improved services for our populations (examples of these groups are; ambulance
services commissioning, the Mayor‟s London Transformation Board, various clinical networks etc.)
37 of 40

27. Our Better Care Fund
38
In Bexley a key focus for our Better Care Fund is reducing End of Life admissions (& admissions in the last year of life) to deliver better
outcomes for our patients. Overall it is designed to: Reduce non-elective admissions (i.e. emergency); Reduce admissions to care
homes; Reduce falls; Reduce Delayed Transfers of Care (i.e. where patients are in hospital when they need not be); Increase re-
ablement (all of these are designed to maintain independence and out of hospital or institutional care settings). We will seek to
develop an enhanced culture of collaboration through development of Local Care Networks. We are working closely with the London
Borough of Bexley to promote early identification of carers and early intervention to prevent escalation of need. The Better Care Fund
is overseen by the Health & Well Being Board and the CCG‟s Governing Body. Regular reports on performance are received by both
groups.
Both nationally and locally the Better Care Fund (BCF) is facing a significant challenge in achieving reductions in non-elective
admissions and being the ability to accurately demonstrate the impact of the dedicated BCF schemes. In 2014 Bexley was in the top
decile of performers nationally for ambulatory care admissions to our hospitals (based on population) – this clearly showed the impact
of our admission avoidance and community schemes. However, during 2015 this has reduced to upper quartile performance –
although this still remains an excellent level of performance. The introduction of a new clinical decision unit at one of our providers,
and changes in reporting systems has complicated the reporting of performance in this area. The CCG agreed with LBB to release the
quarter 1 & 2 BCF „performance related payment‟ which reflects the value we place on the joint work with LBB to reduce avoidable
admissions. These difficulties have been highlighted to the national Better Care Fund team.
For 2015/16 this work will continue and we will seek to promote an enhanced culture of collaboration through the development of our
Local Care Networks. We have appointed a joint project manager between the CCG, LBB and Oxleas NHS FT to lead this work.
The Better Care Fund (BCF) was introduced by the Government in June 2013,
to ensure the transformation & integration of health & social care. It creates a
local single pooled budget to incentivise the NHS and Local Government to work
more closely together around people, placing their well-being as the focus of
health & care services.

28. Procurement and Contract Management Plans
39
The chart to the right shows our current plan for
procurements from January 2016 onwards. This is
tentative and may be subject to change. We maintain
details of our procurements on our CCG website.
Our contracts aim to deliver on the NHS 5 year forward
view, always promoting prevention, effectiveness,
improved efficiency/ productivity and our drive for
continual improvement in patient outcomes. We will
continue to promote a paperless environment with our
providers. Our Governing Body (and other committees)
receive regular detailed reports on activity, finance and
performance in these contracts.
We have in-house contracting and procurement teams.
In addition we buy a range of Commissioning Support
services to supplement this and ensure that we get
economies of scale, and professional support services.
In 2015/16 we have started “testing the market” for these
services, using the nationally negotiated Lead Provider
Framework (LPF). The results of this market testing will be known in March 2016.
In this section we look at the current procurement plans for 2016 onwards (these
are draft at publication and may be subject to change, plus developments in our
management of contracts.
