Chair’s Report
WAVET (Work, Advice, Volunteering, Education and Training) and GET (Guidance, Employment and Training) joint meeting I was invited to speak at this meeting on 3 February 2016. This secured their best attendance yet which indicated the number of organisations that want to work with CPFT. Both WAVET and GET are similar networking groups for organisations. In particular WAVET is a networking group for Voluntary and Community Sector organisations and Mental Health Trust teams who all support people with mental health issues. The chair rotates between CPFT and one of the member groups. WAVET also organises training opportunities for its members and holds regular networking events which aim to improve communication and ultimately provide a more effective service for service users. Many of the organisations signed up for information on becoming a member of CPFT and all the signatories are being followed up by the Trust Secretariat. Joint Chairs letter to the leader of the County Council - Steve Count A letter was sent by the chairs of all the constituent bodies in our health economy to the leader of the Council expressing our concern about the pressures on the social care budget (appendix 1). The letter we sent was circulated to all councillors and hopefully encouraged the favourable vote for the 2% precept which occurred during a very long council debate on next year’s budget in early February. The leaders’ response is attached (appendix 2). Terms of Reference for the review of UnitingCare The revised Terms of Reference were noted at the Council of Governor’s meeting and the Chief Executive and Lead Governor were meeting with Judge Business School and Anglia Ruskin University in the week commencing 21st March 2016, as they were the only two responders after initial interest was shown by four organisations. Judge Business School was chosen to complete the review and they have accepted. Governor Elections The Trust Secretariat has been working in collaboration with the Electoral Reform Services to run the governor election process. The remaining stages of the election process are listed below.

Board Governance Review In line with Monitor’s publication ‘The Well- led Framework for Governance Reviews: Guidance for NHS Foundation Trusts’, the Trust is starting the process for its external governance review. After a helpful Board Development session looking at the governance review process, the Board decided to complete the self-assessment stage before tendering. The Interim Trust Secretary has amended the timeline to incorporate this change. The Director of Nursing will be the Executive Lead, and she will work with the Trust Secretary. Both will report to me as Board lead. The Trust is recruiting an individual for a temporary period, to help with the governance review process. Declaration of Interests The Board of Directors has a legal duty to act in the best interest of that organisation and to avoid
situations where there may be potential conflict of interest. NHS boards should promote transparency
and accountability by ensuring clear and robust systems are in place. In line with Trust policies, senior
management above a certain level should complete a declaration of interests form. The Trust
Secretary is working with management to ensure that the Trust has a full register (Appendix 3
attached).

Our ref: MD/SKS/5feb2016 Your ref: 5 February 2016 Cllr Steve Count Leader Cambridgeshire County Council Leader’s Office RES1101, Shire Hall Cambridge CB3 0AP Dear Steve Cambridgeshire County Council Budget Position and Strategy We are writing this joint letter on behalf of the local NHS to express our grave concern about the proposed Council budget strategy for 2016/17 and associated cuts to social care budgets. We believe that it will have significant and negative consequences for provision of health services for Cambridgeshire patients at a time when local NHS organisations are facing unprecedented financial difficulty. We would urge the Council to agree the 2% precept for social care in order to mitigate these impacts. You will recall that the Chairs of all local health organisations wrote to Cambridgeshire County Council on 10 November 2015 expressing concern regarding the proposed budget reductions and the potential detrimental effect on health services. We are grateful for the impact analysis work which was carried out as a result and shared with NHS colleagues on 2 February 2016, but we are concerned that there has not been an opportunity for wider consideration of the issues raised amongst the NHS organisations affected. We note that the total savings requirement for 2016/17 for Children, Family and Adult services is £31m and that the proposals most relevant to the health system relate to the reductions proposed for the care budgets for older people, people with mental health needs and people with learning and physical disabilities (total £12m in 2016/17 and c£45m over the 5 years of the plan). We understand the strategic approach to focus on preventative and early help services and thereby contain expenditure on other forms of care, such as residential and nursing home placements. This fits well with the NHS emphasis on proactive care and prevention. We welcome the intention to protect the reablement service budget, continued investment in community navigators and protection for front-line staffing levels in social work teams. We understand that the Council will shortly be deciding on the budget for 2016/17 and the level of council tax to be charged. We would urge the Council to consider every possible means of mitigating the impact of budget cuts on the local NHS and the patients we serve. We are concerned by overall reductions in care budgets (older people, disabilities and mental health) which will put further pressure on the independent sector care providers, which will in turn worsen the already acute shortages in supply of care and make it more difficult to arrange prompt care following a stay in hospital.
In particular, the proposed reduction of £2m in meeting the needs of older people requiring care in 2016/17 is likely to result in unnecessarily extending time in hospital and we know that this will have a negative effect on their health and ability to regain independence. We are also concerned by the proposed £841k reduction in spend on care for adults with mental health needs – at a time when we are endeavouring to deliver parity of esteem between physical and mental health needs. There is a risk that patients may relapse due to reduced social care support, resulting in increased reliance on NHS services and delays in placements due to additional scrutiny of care packages. In addition, we note the intention to review funding responsibility for continuing healthcare and joint funded placements, resulting in a net reduction in Local Authority funding and a corresponding increase in NHS funding. The proposed ‘saving’ to the Council is stated as £450k for 2016/17. We are concerned that this will be counter productive at a time when we need to work in partnership to transform services and that patients will get caught in arguments over funding responsibility. Whilst we recognise there are opportunities to improve care for people with learning disabilities through the Transforming Care programme, we remain concerned that there are risks associated with the proposed reduction of £5.2m for 2016-18 for this group of people. We understand that the impact assessment workshop on 2 February 2016 and supporting materials focused on adults, but we are also aware of proposals which are likely to have a negative impact on health services for children, about which we are equally concerned. As you know, the local NHS must deliver short and long term financial savings through efficiency measures and transformation. We remain committed to working with Local Authority partners to ensure there is a shared approach to the Sustainability and Transformation Programme. We believe it is essential to maximise income to the local health and social care system as well as ensuring every pound is spent effectively. In summary, we appreciate the work carried out to assess the impact of the Council’s budget proposals on the local health service, but we remain deeply concerned that the effect will be damaging without further mitigating measures. We would welcome the opportunity to discuss this with you as a matter of urgency. Yours sincerely

Dear Maureen As your joint letter of 5th February 2016 recognises, the County Council faces enormous
financial challenges. I would firstly like to set the general context for my response in that
I agree completely with the urgent need for effective partnership working so that across
the health and social care system, we are confident that we are securing the best
outcomes with the resources we have collectively available to us.
The decision on the 2% Council Tax Adult Social Care Precept will be made by the
County Council at its meeting on 16th February. I feel it is also worth noting that the
debate is within the context of a Council in no overall control. I am sure that a wide
range of views will be considered during the debate on the Council’s Business Plan and
the debate will consider concerns for services and concerns for the impact on council
taxpayers. Your letter has been shared widely and will no doubt inform those views. In
my position of Leader of the Council, I am sure that you will understand that I can only
commit to considering the concerns that you have raised, the decision on the precept is
for the Council meeting to make. Whilst you have specifically raised the issue of the
Adult Social Care precept, there is the wider issue of how the Council deploys the
quantum of resources that it has available in response to the demands and pressures it
faces.
I would like respond to some of the concerns you have raised, whilst not in any way
downplaying the seriousness of the financial position facing the Council.
Firstly, I can reassure you that the Council’s eligibility criteria for accessing care will not
change. The criteria are set in law and we cannot generally vary access to support in
relation to the resources available. Therefore, the Council’s focus has to be on how
savings are made through meeting needs in different ways. Most people will only see a
change in their care following a formal review of their needs and care plans will still
specify how needs will be met. In meeting needs we will be placing greater focus on the
support that can be provided from families and communities. We will be changing our

policy framework in some areas which will reduce the support available to some people,
but this will be on a risk based basis. The personal experiences of the changes that we
will make will vary considerably, depending on the circumstances of the service users
concerned. However, the Council will meet its statutory duties.
There are risks attached to this strategy and one is the potential impact on other partner
organisations. I can assure you that the Council is very mindful of this and will work with
partners to seek to ensure that the risk is managed effectively.
The potential impact on independent sector providers of the budget strategy has been
openly acknowledged. The Council is seeking to manage these risks, for example
through funding both inflationary costs and the costs of the National Living Wage for
providers. We are also engaging in dialogues with providers to explore different service
models and approaches that will mitigate some of the impact of the reduced funding
situation. It remains a key priority of the Council, and indeed it is a statutory duty, to
ensure there is a strong market for care provision in Cambridgeshire.
We have sought to engage partners in our plans, for example our planned reduction in
mental health spend have been discussed for some months with CPFT and again we
will ensure that eligible needs are met. I do understand the concern about the impact on
the CCG of the Council securing savings through ensuring that those people eligible for
Continuing Health Care receive it, but it is the case that some very vulnerable people in
Cambridgeshire are currently paying for care that they are potentially entitled to receive
for free.
There is a pressing need for a more integrated approach to service planning and the
delivery of services. I am sure that the Council is not alone in its frustration at the
significant amount of work that went into the Uniting Care programme and the time that
has been lost in making operational progress toward integrated services. However, it is
important that many of the ideas and proposals that were developed with Uniting Care
are not lost.
The need more for more joined up planning is also illustrated by a number of recent
CCG decisions impacting adversely on the Council. For example, the decision to close
waiting lists for children and young people with ASC and ADHD has had a significant
impact on the demand that Council services are managing. The proposed withdrawal of
s256 funding from partnership agreements will also impact financially, as will the current
ongoing reduction in community beds funded by the CCG. I raise these examples to
stress the need for a more integrated approach to the planning of services. I am aware
that your officers have agreed to share budget proposals with the County Council, in the
same way the Council’s proposals were shared at the recent impact assessment
workshop. This will be helpful and for the future I suggest that we commit to sharing our
emerging thinking and proposals much earlier in our respective planning cycles. I am
confident that our officers collectively could design such a process.
I would also like to take the opportunity to raise the issue of the Better Care Fund. I am
aware that the contribution from the Better Care Fund to Cambridgeshire County Council
is already significantly proportionately lower than that received by neighbouring local
authorities. Therefore, the apparent proposal from the CCG that none of the uplift to the
2016/17 Better Care Fund is shared with the County Council will not be acceptable. We
will be seeking greater parity of resourcing through the Better Care Fund, particularly in
the light of the concerns that you have raised on your letter.
I would be happy to meet with you to discuss these matters further
Yours sincerely

1. Contracting
The contracting round has been difficult because of the CCG deficit. The Trust is committed to
ensuring services are safe and deliver what the contract requires. The current offers make neither
requirement possible at present.
Integrated Older People’s Services Contracting
The Trust is negotiating the contract for these services with the CCG for 2016/17.
Some progress has been made to close the gap which now stands at about £3.5m Work
continues to negotiate the closure of this.
Mental Health Services Contracting
The Trust is negotiating the contract for these services with the CCG for 2016/17.
As a result of the new requirements for Mental Health set out in the Carter report and the need
to comply with the CQC report, Safer staffing requirements for inpatients, and the cost
pressures around emergency care in Personality Disorder services and the new targets
around Early Intervention services there is a significant financial gap (c£5m) between the
service requirements and the commissioners initial offer.
Negotiations continue and in parallel the Trust and CCG are preparing for the arbitration
process.
2. UnitingCare and Reviews and Investigations into the collapse of the UnitingCare
Contract
UC is working to close the organisation down before the end of the financial year, paying off all
proven creditors, and settling accounts. The majority of UC staff have either left or found
alternative roles, although the Trust and its partner CUH are still working with individuals.
The Trust and UCP have had sight of and commented on a draft report setting out findings of the
review of the contract collapse and procurement undertaken by NHS England who used an
Independent reviewer.
NHS England and Monitor attended a Joint Councils Overview and Scrutiny meeting which
examined their roles in the contract collapse.
The CCG’s Internal Audit Report has been published. CUH has also undertaken an internal
review which will be shared. Monitor are reviewing their role too.
The Trust review has been commissioned from the Judge Business School, and will report by the
end of June.
3. Monitor Financial Investigation
Monitor have ended their investigation into the Trusts financial stability which was linked to the
acquisition of the Community services, and have returned the official status of the Trust to its
standard FRR reporting status. This is good news for the Trust and local services.
4. Transformation Programme
Monitor and NHS England continue to take a strong lead in this programme as a result of the UC
contract closure and the difficulties across the local health economy.
The programme has been re-launched with the structure reported to the last Board meeting.
The Trusts Services are affected by all of the workstreams, and we are engaged in all of them. In
particular we have a significant leadership role in the Proactive care and prevention stream which
picks up much of the work started by UnitingCare, and in the “Vanguard” Urgent and Emergency
Care stream where JET, Case Management, Long Term Conditions and Mental Health are
addressed.
The Proactive Care and Prevention stream is defining pathways for all LTCs commencing with
those which have the biggest impact on acute admissions or spend across the economy. The
workstream is also intending to bring together the various Mental Health Strategies for adults that
are current in the health economy.
There will be separate presentations made to the Board about the work of the Vanguard Urgent
and Emergency Care stream.
Also important is the Children’s workstream, and we are closely involved although it is focussing
initially on acute care.
All the workstreams have parent and carer representation either planned or already engaged.
5. Five year Forward View - Farmer report on Mental Health
A copy of the recommendations is attached.
The Trust would strongly support the aims of the paper but is concerned that the funding has in
fact already been allocated as reported in the media. Discussions are taking place with the CCG
over the extension of Early Intervention services for Young people both in terms of capacity for
age extension and capacity for delivery of a NICE guidance compliant service(our service is one
year only) for 2016/17 to comply with the governments requirements on this. The CCG has not so
far offered enough funding to do this, but negotiations are ongoing.
The Trust is also negotiating changes to children’s Mental Health services to assist, in the
management of urgent care. This is dependent on the CCG and specialist commissioning working
together.
6. Children’s Services
The Trust is meeting its waiting list targets. We are starting to prepare for the likely forthcoming
competitive tendering exercise for children’s services across Cambridgeshire and Peterborough
which is likely to happen in the next eighteen months.
7. Learning Disability Services
In the absence of a credible commissioning strategy and in view of the difficulties around staffing
in the service the Trust has decided to temporarily close one of the two units for safety reasons
and concentrate services at the Hollies. The two remaining Individual clients on IASS are being
discharged as planned to appropriate placements, and the Trust is arranging for temporary
appointments for all staff elsewhere in our services. When this work is complete the IASS unit will
close temporarily. We are working with commissioners as far as possible to resolve the LD
pathway, and meet the national targets, which it should be noted do require a permanent
reduction in inpatient beds.
8. Welney Ward
The Trust has closed Welney ward temporarily due to a shortage of qualified staff which was
exacerbated by the unavoidable absence of the ward manager.
9. Adult ADHD services
The Adult ADHD Service remains closed to referrals having exceeded the commissioned number
by more than treble this year. The CCG have agreed new pathway arrangements which are being
put in place, and the trust is working with commissioners to deal with the waiting list.
10. Qatar
The Trust is waiting to hear about the possible award of a potential contract for Qatar as
previously described.
11. Other Business
The Trust is considering bidding for GP Health care across the South East of England. We
already have some expertise in this area and depending on the service specification yet to be
released the Trust may tender with relevant partners for this contract.
The Trust supported by the DTI and Health England received a visit from Ministers form the UAE.
The visit was an exploratory one looking at a potential Mental Health Contract.
12. Adult Mental Health Services Directorate Structures
The Trust is considering the structures it has for Mental Health Services in the light of changes to
emergency care and the need for better coordination, and the need for closer cross directorate
working to deliver the CIP next year. A consultation with key staff is likely to take place in the next
few weeks.
13. Service Visits and Work in the Service
I visited the Fens Unit at Whitemoor Prison which is a Ministry of Justice commissioned service for
Personality disordered violent and disruptive prisoners, which runs along the lines of a therapeutic
community“ in so far as is possible inside a Category A prison. The outcome measures and
research programme are very impressive but even more impressive was the testimony I got about
the programme from prisoners themselves.
14. The Independent Commission report on Acute Mental Health Care led by Lord Nigel
Crisp
This report is not a government sponsored report and so its recommendations are unlikely to be
adopted in commissioning requirements.
The Trust currently has a very low level of adult patients placed outside the county compared to
most other Trusts. This is largely because of the 3:3:3 bed system employed in our inpatient
service which ensures throughput of patients, and increases bed availability. The only exceptions
are specialist placements which the Crisp report recognizes might still be required.
At the same time the Trust does need to implement safer staffing levels as agreed in the CQC
report. Funding for this is being discussed with the CCG. If funding for this cannot be delivered
then the Trust will need to consider closing wards and returning the Out of Area treatment budget
delegated to us, to the CCG. If this happened the number of patients receiving care at a distance
would increase, which is a poor outcome from a quality perspective, but would be safer than the
alternative. Hopefully this will not happen.
From the perspective of children the Trust is net receiver of outplaced children. This is a result of
poorly developed crisis services here and across the country.
15. Staff survey
The results of the 2015/16 staff Survey are now published. The Trust is roughly average in most
areas with a few responses in the top twenty. It should be recognised however that this is the
result of a very significant improvement in our scores. We must plan for further improvement, but
we can also be pleased with the comparative results against last year. There are a small number
of areas where the Trust does need to focus, and is planning its response.
16. Volunteering Strategy
The Quality and Safety Governance Committee approved a new trust Volunteering Strategy,
which seeks to increase the use of volunteers in the Trust and strengthens the links of
volunteering as a an element of Recovery.
17. Compact
The Trust has signed formal agreement to the Compact which is the formal agreement with third
sector partners setting out how we would work with them as a fellow provider.
18. Operational productivity and performance in English NHS acute hospitals
This looks primarily at Acute hospitals. It does however have relevance to the Trust. Three
specific areas include;
Estates where the Trust is building improved efficiency as part of our CIP program.
Sickness absence, where the Trust is not the worst but where improvement is certainly possible
and a number of improvements are planned such as the introduction of common information
systems across the Trust, and the adoption of successful policy and practice in following up
sickness. Wellbeing is also an issues and the Trusts attempts to address workload issues are
important.
Procurement, where the Trust is working with SERCO and staff to improve practice in a number of
areas.
General productivity, where the Trust is identifying clear capacity tools for monitoring its
community teams. These initially focus on Mental Health, and have been developed primarily for
safety reasons but will also enable us to compare the relative efficiency of teams as well helping
to protect patient’s staff and the Trust.
19. Communications Update
We are in the process of restructuring the communications team to reflect the evolving needs of
the Trust. Andréa Grosbois has been in post as Interim Head of Communications and Marketing
since January 2016, following a year and a half secondment at UnitingCare as Head of
Communications. We will shortly be advertising the permanent position.
For the period of 1 February – 21 March
External communications The focus recently has been increasing our social media presence and on 7 March we launched a CPFT LinkedIn account – this will help us with recruitment. We are also working on a GP engagement strategy to improve patient care and experience; build a stronger working relationship with GPs; set out CPFT’s offer; and ensure their feedback informs our service design and decision making.

20. Chaplain’s Update
As the newly, and first, appointed Muslim Chaplain for CPFT, I have found that Trust values spiritual and pastoral support and this is already evident through the well-established Chaplaincy Team, who work effectively in a joined-up and embedded manner. My initial focus has been to enable staff, patients and carers to understand specifics relating to the management and care of Muslim patients, and we have already seen a significant number of delegates attend the ‘Introduction to Islam’ presentations across the Trust. I have been working very closely with Ward Managers and inpatient services, and helping with the support, care and after care of patients through liaising directly with families and carers. There has been a fast realisation from local community organisations and local Mosques regarding the real impact of mental health challenges and we continue to address this through seminars and lectures, as well as meeting with Muslim doctors in order to widen the bridge for enabling Muslims to access mental health services. We send out weekly news bulletins which include information about our upcoming events as well as addressing current and saddening events being reported by the media, and how this affects all of humanity, regardless of creed, colour or culture. Whilst we continue with our active work within the community, the template for Muslim Chaplaincy is still very fresh and much more great work can be done. I, personally, am grateful for the opportunity and am looking forward to continuing to enhance the good work of the Chaplaincy Team. We hope to provide a more in depth update in May 2016.

2016-2018 Knowledge, Library, and Information Services Strategy
4 of 23
The Knowledge, Library, and Information Services strategy identifies the scope and direction of library services for the period 2016 to 2018. This document was developed in consultation with Trust staff from multiple service areas, including Nursing, Psychology, Psychiatry, Learning & Development, and Medical Education. The content of this strategy has also been informed by daily contact with the Trust’s clinical and nonclinical staff within the library. This strategy follows and expands version 1.0 of the Knowledge, Library, and Information Services strategy, which covered the period 2013-2015. The successful implementation of this strategy, and the changed environment the library was faced with at the conclusion of the first implementation plan, led to the drafting of version 2.0 of the strategy. In the year following this second draft, changes to the Trust’s organisation necessitated further revision and the current version (2.1) was created. The strategy is underpinned by the library’s vision, mission statement, and values: Vision:
A provider of library services to integrated community, mental health, and social care services across Cambridgeshire, Peterborough and beyond.
Providing library services, resources, and customer experience at a national standard
Informing and informed by world-leading research and education Mission:
Our mission is to put library users in control of library services. We will maximise access opportunities to existing library services and resources, and provide the chance to input into every aspect of service from title selection to opening hours. In other words:
“To provide the support so every library user can satisfy every information need.” Values:
Professionalism – We maintain the highest standards in the service we deliver and help our users to develop as professionals
Respect – We put library users and service users at the heart of our thinking, building positive relationships by delivering on our promises and going beyond what we are asked for.
Innovation – We are constantly finding new ways to connect library users with the information and knowledge they need. We are proud to support world class research and innovation.
Dignity – We treat our library users not just with the dignity we would want for ourselves but with the dignity they display to service users, carers, and the public.
Empowerment – We go beyond answering the questions library users ask and give them the tools to satisfy their information needs.
The strategy has seven underlying themes, which also serve as our strategic aims.
Document Supply
Collection
Partnership
Integration
Infrastructure
Education
Promotion
2016-2018 Knowledge, Library, and Information Services Strategy
5 of 23
For each of these aims, the strategy examines our current efforts against a strategic hierarchy, establishes a vision of library services, and identifies tasks that will need to be performed in order to achieve this vision. The major initiatives identified include:
Develop “library in a box” collections for outreach to distance staff.
Implement Patron Driven Acquisition for eBooks
Increase support of Recovery College East
Enable clinical skills training and assessments online.
Improve mobile working for library staff and library users
Create a library of borrowable learning technology
Promote and increase outreach training
Working with Organisational Development and other teams to promote knowledge management activities.
These tasks and their timetables are detailed in this document and its accompanying two year implementation plan, which is contained in the Appendix document to this strategy. The strategy and plan will form the backbone of the library’s Annual Review, which will determine how the library is progressing in reaching its strategic aims, and also identify any new challenges that the strategy might need to be revised in order to meet. To support this strategy, the appendix also contains Collection Development and Marketing strategies, drafted as part of the strategic revision process. The implementation goals from these strategies are included in the overall implementation plan.

3. Organisational Description
3.1. Brief description
Cambridgeshire and Peterborough NHS Foundation Trust library services provide a multidisciplinary knowledge, library, and information service to the staff and students of Cambridgeshire and Peterborough NHS Foundation Trust, an integrated mental health and community services Foundation Trust. CPFT Libraries also provide library services to the employees of Health Education East of England.
The library currently operates two locations: Fulbourn Library in Block 14 of Ida Darwin in Fulbourn, and the Cavell Centre library in Peterborough. Across these locations we offer a range of knowledge, library, and information services to staff and students, including books on all aspects of health and social care, access to a wide range of electronic and print journals, and point of care and instructional tools for clinicians.
In the last five years, CPFT’s library services have expanded from a single point of access with a single member of staff to three FTE equivalent roles providing service across two in-person library locations, with an additional increased emphasis on online and distance services including electronic resources and training outreach.
3.2. Facilities and Holdings
The library service currently operates two facilities: Fulbourn library, and the Cavell Centre library, while providing support to the Recovery College East’s libraries at the Gloucester Centre in Peterborough and Ida Darwin in Fulbourn.
Fulbourn library is the larger of CPFT’s two facilities, housing a collection of around 2000 books, along with an extensive print journal archive and around 25 journal subscriptions. Fulbourn also hosts an extensive e-learning suite, suitable for up to 18 simultaneous learners. Fulbourn library is open for 40 hours per week, Monday to Friday from 9AM to 5PM.
Cavell Centre library is a compact modern facility within the Cavell Centre in Peterborough. It currently houses a collection of over 500 recent books across a range of disciplines, with plans to increase this collection substantially. Additionally, the library currently receives the latest issues of 28 high impact journal titles across a wide range of health and social care topics, from psychiatry to safer communities. Cavell Centre library is open to staff through mediated access 24 hours a day, and is staffed Monday to Friday from 9AM to 5PM.
The library service as a whole holds around 2700 circulating items including books, CDs, and DVDs, with a continually updated collection. In addition, the library subscribes to around 60 e-Book titles and is in the process of expanding its holdings in this area. The library service subscribes to over fifty journals in print across its two locations, and has print holdings of decades of back issues. In addition to this, the library offers electronic access to over four thousand journals mediated through Athens, many of which include access up to the latest issue.
3.3. Staff and organizational structure
Library services are managed by the Trust’s Knowledge, Library, and Information Manager (band 7), and delivered by the library staff, which currently consists of the Library Manager, an Assistant Librarian (band 5), and a Library Apprentice. The Library Manager reports to the Head of Learning and Development.
3.4. Library Funding
2016-2018 Knowledge, Library, and Information Services Strategy
8 of 23
The library service is jointly funded by Health Education East of England and Cambridgeshire and Peterborough NHS Foundation Trust. In previous years, CPFT would invoice Health Education East of England quarterly for library funding. Due to changes in the funding model, money for library services is now included in the Learning and Development Agreement as part of the overall medical and non-medical education tariffs. The agreed formula for library funding from Health Education East of England is as follows:
8% of the Placement Fee listed in Part C (funding for Medical Posts)
5% of the Non Medical Placement Tariff listed in Part B
5% of the Undergraduate Medical Placements funding listed in Part E The library also receives funding directly from Cambridgeshire and Peterborough NHS Foundation Trust.

4. Mission Statement The library service is guided by CPFT’s overall Vision, Mission, and Values. However, as the library offers a distinct service, it also has a distinct vision and mission. Informed by the Trust’s Vision, Mission, and Values, the library has developed its own:
Vision:
A provider of library services to integrated community, mental health, and social care services across Cambridgeshire and beyond.
Providing library services, resources, and customer experience at a national standard
Informing and informed by world-leading research and education Mission:
Our mission is to put library users in control of library services. We will maximise access opportunities to existing library services and resources, and provide the chance to input into every aspect of service from title selection to opening hours. In other words: “To provide the support so every library user can satisfy every information need.”
Values:
Professionalism – We maintain the highest standards in the service we deliver and help our users to develop as professionals
Respect – We put library users and service users at the heart of our thinking, building positive relationships by delivering on our promises and going beyond what we are asked for.

Dignity – We treat our library users not just with the dignity we would want for ourselves but with the dignity they display to service users, carers, and the public.
Empowerment – We go beyond answering the questions library users ask and give them the tools to satisfy their information needs.
The vision expressed here will be expanded upon in the Overall Vision in section 7 of the strategy.

5. Goals and Strategies – Identification of Themes
5.1. Horizon Scan
The first step in identifying the library’s future course of actions is to look at what we currently do well, what we could do better, opportunities to improve services in future, and potential barriers or threats to these service improvements. This is done through a SWOT/ SWOB analysis. A SWOT/SWOB questionnaire was sent to all members of the library’s stakeholder group, as well as being filled out by the library manager and assistant librarian. The details of these results can be found in the appendix to this document.
5.2. Emergent strategic themes. The SWOT analysis, combined with the review of the previous strategy, identified a number of strategic themes to the library’s service, both in terms of what we do and in terms of what we could improve. These are:
5.2.1. Document supply The provision of print and electronic books, articles, and other resources to staff and students within the groups we serve.
Processing requests and locating resources from own stock or partner libraries.
Delivering resources to end users.

6. Integration with Knowledge for Healthcare framework As library services conform to national as well as regional and local standards for service, this strategy has been developed in accordance with. Health Education England’s five year development plan “Knowledge for healthcare: a development framework for NHS library and knowledge services in England”. CPFT’s library strategy acts as a synthesis of national and local standards for library services.
6.1. National Priorities Health Education England list the following as the purpose of library services:
The purpose of healthcare library and knowledge services is to:
Provide knowledge and evidence to enable excellent healthcare and health improvement.
Use the expertise of their staff to ensure that NHS bodies, staff, learners, patients and the public have the right knowledge and evidence, when and where they need it.
They also give the following as an overall vision of library services:
NHS bodies, their staff, learners, patients and the public use the right knowledge and evidence, at the right time, in the right place, enabling high quality decision-making, learning, research and innovation to achieve excellent healthcare and health improvement.
This emphasis on supporting and informing high quality research and learning aligns with CPFT Libraries’ own vision as outlined in Section 4. Health Education England also identify four key areas of work:
The importance of information
Evidence-based Practice
Patient Expectations
The Future Workforce. The key areas of evidence based practice and patient expectation map to the library’s own identified vision of patient care being at the heart of our services, and our duty to provide the best service possible. The commitment to the future workforce maps to our vision of world-leading research and education. The importance of information is embodied in our mission statement: “To provide the support so every library user can satisfy every information need”.
6.2. National Strategic Themes The Knowledge for Healthcare framework consists of four strategic themes, which map onto the tasks that CPFT Libraries have identified as priorities for the coming two years.
6.2.1. Transforming the service – proactive customer-focussed services The commitment to customer focus is embedded in our seven key strategic areas. Our collection development initiatives will develop targeted service offers. Our education and training work will promote information and digital literacy, and improvements to our document supply service will ensure services are available at the point of need.

6.2.2. Transforming the service – quick and easy access
CPFT libraries have long been innovators in the area of improving access, as we serve such a broad service area. The addition of new community staff to the Trust make this even more of a priority. Our document supply services will enable easy multi-platform access to resources. Our collection development efforts will involve engaging with and influencing publishers and suppliers. We will work with our IT staff to make sure that our IT infrastructure is robust enough to support the demands on our service.
6.2.3. Effective leadership, planning and development of the healthcare library and knowledge services workforce
While much of this theme revolves around actions that are taken at a national leadership level, a necessary part of CPFT Libraries’ Education, Training, and Outreach has to include the development of our own staff. Opportunities for staff to develop and deliver better services must be part of our strategic approach.
6.2.4. Optimising funding for best value CPFT Libraries will optimise our funding by partnership and strategic working with other local libraries serving intersecting and overlapping communities. This will be especially important with serving our new community staff, many of whom have existing relationships with other library services. By working with these libraries we can avoid unnecessary duplication of resources and spend local library funding more wisely.
6.3. Actions to carry forward The following priorities were identified in our analysis of the Knowledge for Healthcare framework and should act as objectives for the library strategy:
6.3.1. Document Supply – Ensure services are available at the point of need, Provide simplified sign-on to resources, Ensure access via multiple platforms and mobile devices
6.3.2. Collection Development – Develop targeted service offers, Ensure that policy and funding support eligibility for all, Engage with and influence publishers and suppliers
6.3.3. Partnership and Strategic Working – Promote cross-sector LKS collaboration, Promote collaboration between LKS and other functions, Engage with national stakeholder organisations
6.3.4. Service Integration – Produce more national products and services for local delivery
6.3.5. Infrastructure – Further automation of internal functions to increase time for customer facing service, Influence and inform national and local IT strategy & policy, Influence the development of a robust IT infrastructure
6.3.6. Education, Training, and Outreach – Promote information and digital literacy amongst NHS staff and learners
6.3.7. Service Promotion and Marketing – Improve marketing and promotion of services
These actions will inform the library’s detailed vision and become part of our strategic goals.

7. Overall Vision As a guiding principle of how to improve library services by 2018, it is worth giving a vision of library services as they should exist by that point. In this next section we will give that vision, and follow it with the steps needed to make it a reality. Vision of 2018 By 2018, CPFT Libraries will offer equality of access to all its users regardless of geographical location, job role, home organisation, or method of access. Library users will expect and receive high quality, instantly available information and knowledge services at their fingertips. All library users will have immediate access to a responsive, tailored health and social care collection covering multiple access methods, subjects, and formats. These will include recent, relevant print books available in our libraries and by post, instantly accessible e-Books usable from computers or tablet devices, and a vast collection of journal articles accessible electronically and in print. Users will be guided by extensive bibliographies and curated subject collections. All resources will be searchable through a single, easily accessible point of access. The collection will be both proactive and responsive, anticipating demand and serving all its users information needs. All library users will have input in the library’s collection, with purchase requests being a simple one-click function on the library’s website. The library’s partner organisations will give library users swift access to millions of book and journal articles and share their facilities with CPFT library users for reference and study. The library’s high profile within and beyond the Trust, in concert with their publicity and marketing efforts, will keep library users aware of the resources available to them. These efforts will include a responsive, easy to use website that offers simple access to all library services on any platform, as well as broadly distributed current awareness newsletters and publicity. The library will support free and equal access to libraries for service users by working closely with public libraries in Cambridgeshire and Peterborough. Inpatient users of CPFT’s services will have easy and regular access to public library services through mobile library visits, and will be signposted to other library services and locations. To support service users in their recovery, the library will assist in collection development and training for the staff, students, and library services of Recovery College East. The library will meet the needs of a diverse and distributed Trust by delivering a diverse and distributed service. Resources within CPFT’s libraries will be as available to staff at their desk as they would in the library itself, from books to journals to library expertise. Document supply through email and internal mail will mean that the library’s collection is swiftly available to all staff. Curated “library-in-a-box” and e-Book subject collections will assist users in resource discovery. The library’s knowledge services will be instantly available by phone, email, and instant message whenever the library is open. Site visits and attendance at professional meetings will ensure the library has a presence in every discipline and area of the Trust. Training in the use of library services and electronic resources will be available in person in the library or at the user’s workplace, electronically via e-learning courses, or in any other more convenient venue. The library will advocate for its users regionally and nationally through partnerships with other East of England libraries, national NHS library organisations, and regional and national groups such as the Reading Agency. The library’s excellent service quality will be recognised though consistently high scores from the Library Quality Assurance Framework and the sharing of best

practice and innovation nationally. Within its home organisation, the library will be recognised as a first stop for knowledge and information, with over 25% of staff having Athens accounts and a similar number having library membership. Library facilities will be responsive to the needs of a changing distributed Trust. The library’s several locations will all be sufficient – in terms of time and resources – to meet the needs of their service area as well as strongly supporting distance staff. The library will work closely with Trust IT to support mobile and distance working so the library can be as mobile as its staff. Community services will form a large and growing part of the library’s clientele. The library will have resources and staffing suitable to their unique needs and will deliver outreach training to these staff at their places of work. Services to community staff will be carefully monitored, and specific outreach and promotion efforts will aid their integration into the library’s service area. The library will work in close partnership with other libraries who deliver services to these staff to make sure that we are working towards the same clear objectives. The library will act as a focal point for training in the Trust, serving as both a venue for and provider of training. A wide array of training – both in person and electronic – will run on library computers, and library staff will author and present in person and online training opportunities to staff and students within CPFT and to the wider library and learning communities.

9. Conclusion Cambridgeshire and Peterborough NHS Foundation Trust is an organisation that has considerably changed since the first draft of this strategy was written. When version 1.0 of the library strategy began its implementation process in 2013, this was an organisation in turnaround, with a focus fixing immediate problems and quick results. A lot of this focus is evident in version 1.0 of the strategy, which looked at short term metrics and small scale implementation. The strategy was a success, but part of its success was that it enabled the library to look at broader aims. Since the first strategy was written, the Trust has changed, both in terms of adopting new leadership and in terms of expanding as an organisation. An integrated Trust has different needs from its library service than a mental health Trust, and delivering library service to an organisation with 3500 members proposes different challenges to delivering those services to an organisation with 2200. This new strategy reflects those challenges but also treats them as opportunities to make better use of public money and deliver better service to public employees. What has not changed from the previous version of the strategy is the library’s commitment to providing excellent service and supporting excellent care. In the last year the Trust has changed the wording of its vision and values, but their central message still resonates with the mission of library services. The last library strategy helped the library service to turn around and begin its growth and improvement. This revised version will help the library flourish as a high quality service that CPFT can be proud of.

BOARD OF DIRECTORS MEETING
REPORT
Subject: Trust Annual Business Plan – 2016 / 17
Date: 30th March 2016
Author: Kit Connick, Associate Director
Lead Director: Stephen Legood, Director of People and Business Development
Executive Summary: Each year, NHS Foundation Trusts are required to submit operational plans to NHS Improvement. For
FY16/17 a one year operational plan is required, within the context of the Trust’s overarching strategy. The
timescales set by NHS Improvement require the Trust to submit a full draft plan on 8th February 2016,
against which they will provide feedback ahead of the final plan submission on 11th April 2016.
In the 14/15 planning round the Trust developed a long term (five year) strategic plan for achieving
sustainability centred on four key areas; service integration, workforce development, IT and estates
development and commercial development.
NHS Improvement expects the operational plan to be aligned to the Trusts long-term plan and to the local
health and care systems Sustainability and Transformation Plan (STP), covering the period October 2016 to
March 2021
Recommendations:
That the board members are assured that there has been a robust process to ensure the plan is in line with
the guidance produced by NHS Improvement.
That the plan is driven by the Strategic Direction as set by the Board and the healthcare system’s
Sustainability and Transformation Plan.
That committee members note the final plan submission that will be submitted on 11th April 2016 (subject to
some changes to the financial and activity data, following discussions with the CCG).
That in the event of no agreement being reached with the CCG, the Trust Development Authority Dispute
Resolution process will be applied.
That the board consents to delegate its authority to the Chair and Finance Director when signing off the final plan, in order to meet the submission deadline of 11th April.
Development of CPFT One Year Operational Plan – 2016/17
1. Purpose The purpose of this paper is to present to the Board the requirements Foundation Trust plans as required by NHS Improvement and to give assurance that the process and timeline for the production of these within the Trust has been adhered to. This work is undertaken in conjunction with the development of the Trust’s financial plan including activity assumptions, cost pressures, cost improvement programmes, workforce plan and capital planning. This is supported by contracts with commissioners that reflect reasonable assumptions on activity that balances risk appropriately. 2. Background NHS Improvement’s overarching objectives for the 16/17 planning round is that all providers will have in place robust, integrated operating plans for 16/17 - that demonstrate the delivery of safe, high quality services; and achievement of, or delivery of recovery milestones for, access standards. Through a combination of provider actions to improve efficiency, the expected tariff arrangements, and the deployment of the Sustainability and Transformation Fund (STF): there will be an improved financial position compared to 2015/16 for all providers and an aggregate break-even position for the provider sector.
2.1. NHS Foundation Trusts are required to submit an operational plan to NHS Improvement. In the 2014/15 planning round the Trust was asked to develop a long term (5 year) strategic plan for achieving sustainability. NHS Improvement has confirmed for 16/17 that they require a one year operational plan only, sitting within the context of the overarching strategy aligned to the local health and care systems Sustainability and Transformation Plan (STP).
2.2. NHS Improvement have indicated that this new requirement is driven by a need for all NHS
organisations to develop their strategic position, engage with health system partners in the process, in order to address issues of poor performance. There is also a clear requirement to meet the operational and financial requirements set out in the Trust’s provider licence; and to ensure flexibility and capacity to overcome unexpected short-term difficulties along the way.
2.3. Though the planning cycle is for one year, it clear that the Trust must continue with its long
term strategy which should remain live, evolving and responding to changes in internal performance and external factors over the long term.
3. Process for Development of Operational Plans – 2016/17
3.1. To support FT boards and executive teams in discharging their responsibility for assessing the quality of business planning NHS Improvement has developed a ‘Strategy Development Toolkit’ in order to identify any gaps in planning processes and weaknesses in plans produced for 16/17.
3.2. In line with NHS Improvement’s ‘Strategy Development Toolkit’ the Trust Board held a
Strategy Away-Day in October 2015, in part to review the strategic objectives within the Trust’s 5 Year Plan and to support the development of additional supporting strategies. The Board reaffirmed its overarching vision to be:
• a local provider of patient and carer centred integrated community, mental health and
social care • one of the UK’s premier providers of key specialist mental health services • an organisation whose services are enabled by world leading research and education
3.3. The process timeline followed for the operational plan has ensured that submission dates
have been met and that full opportunity has been given to the Business and Performance Committee and Board of Directors to consider the operational plan, along with a presentation to the Council of Governors on Wednesday 16th March.
3.4. In November 2015 the Directorates started to develop their Operational Plans which were
reviewed in December 2015 with final sign off at an Operational Planning Review Workshop in February 2016. Underpinning this process, detailed work on determining budgets, activity assumptions, costs pressures, business developments, CIPs, workforce and capital plans has been undertaken.
The Business Planning Lead has worked closely with Finance, Contracting, Workforce and Performance colleagues to ensure a joint approach to the development of the plan.
3.5. The draft plan was signed off by the Chair and the Chief Executive with the Executive Team support and review. Formal submission of the draft plan was 8th February 2016 and included (a maximum of) 20 pages of narrative covering:
• approach to activity planning • approach to quality planning • approach to quality improvement • delivery of seven day services • quality impact process • triangulation of indicators • approach to workforce planning • approach to financial planning • Link to the emerging Sustainability and Transformation Plan • Membership and elections
There was no adverse feedback from Monitor on the content of the draft plan. Any outstanding areas in the draft submission have now been completed for the final attached submission (a maximum of 25 pages). There are two areas that require further refinement; finance and activity planning. These are dependent on the ongoing contracting discussions and will be further developed in March prior to the submission in April.
3.6. In the event of no agreement being reached with the CCG, the TDA Dispute Resolution process will be applied:
• The dispute resolution process applies to disputes arising in relation to agreement of
terms for a new contract, as part of the 2016/17 planning round:
between commissioners and providers, and which typically have material financial implications;
where the scope of the dispute relates to contractual payment, services and obligations; and
where another means of resolution is not otherwise stated in national guidance
NHS England, NHS TDA and Monitor are able to offer advice and assistance to support the process, and where possible avoid arbitration
3.7. The final submission for the detailed 1 year 2016/17 Operational Plan will be submitted to NHS Improvement on 11th April 2016. It is composed of a detailed set of financial forecasts covering 1 year, an operational plan with detailed assumptions, mitigations, health system analysis, workforce implications, quality plans, CIP narrative etc. A redacted summary of the operational plan narrative, in a format suitable for external publication is also required (attached as Appendix 1).
3.8. NHS Improvement will conduct a high-level review of providers’ final operational plans
following the 11th April submission. This review will largely entail corroboration of the material movements; with the expectation that providers final plans will have been based on the discussions and feedback provided after the draft plan submissions. The process will also involve identifying and following up on unexpected movements. NHS Improvement will consider the implications for providers of their final operational plans and monitor their delivery during 2016/17 through the routine oversight and assurance processes.
4. Conclusions The Trust is required to deliver a one year operational plan aligned with its Five Year Strategy and system-wide Sustainability and Transformation Plan. NHS Improvement has set deadlines for Foundation Trusts to submit the final version of their one year plan by 11th April 2016. The Board is asked to: • Note and approve the final plan submission that will be submitted on 11th April 2016 (subject to
some changes to the financial and activity data, following discussions with the CCG).
• Note and approve that in the event of no agreement being reached with the CCG, the Trust Development Authority Dispute Resolution process will be applied.
• Consent to delegate its authority to the Chair and Finance Director when signing off the final plan, in order to meet the submission deadline of 11th April.

1. STRATEGIC CONTEXT
The Trust Cambridgeshire and Peterborough NHS Foundation Trust (CPFT) is a health and social care organisation, providing integrated community, mental health and learning disability services across Cambridgeshire and Peterborough, and children’s community services in Peterborough. CPFT supports around 100,000 people each year and employs more than 3,400 staff. It’s largest bases are at the Cavell Centre, Peterborough and Fulbourn Hospital, Cambridge, but staff are based in over 90 locations. The Trust is a designated Cambridge University Teaching Trust and a member of Cambridge University Health Partners; one of only eight Academic Health Science Centres in the UK. Our mission To offer people the best help to do the best for themselves. To put people in control of their care, we will maximise opportunities for individuals and their families by enabling them to look beyond their limitations to achieve their goals and aspirations. CPFT vision We want to give those people who need our services the best possible chance to live a full and happy life, despite their condition or circumstances.
Recovery – we will adopt the principle in all our services of empowering patients to achieve independence and the best possible life changes removing dependence and giving them and their families (in the case of children) control over their care.
Integration – we will work closely with providers along pathways to deliver integrated person-centred care and support to local people close to their homes, principally in non-institutional settings. We will integrate with key partners to improve efficiency and effectiveness and simplify access.
Specialist services – we are one of England’s leading providers of key specialist mental health services, with particular expertise in eating disorders, children and young people’s mental health, autistic spectrum disorders and female personality disorders.
Values - PRIDE
Professionalism - We will maintain the highest standards and develop ourselves and others by demonstrating compassion and showing care, honesty and flexibility
Respect - We will create positive relationships by being kind, open and collaborative
Innovation - We are forward thinking, research focused and effective by using evidence to shape the way we work
Dignity - We will treat you as an individual by taking the time to hear, listen and understand
Empowerment - We will support you by enabling you to make effective, informed decisions and to build your resilience and independence
Changing healthcare landscape The Trust operates within the Cambridgeshire and Peterborough local health and social care economy with Cambridgeshire and Peterborough Clinical Commissioning Group (CCG) as the main commissioner. Other commissioners include NHS England and two Local Authorities. The Trust serves a fast-growing, ageing and diverse population with significant inequalities. At the start of 2015, the population registered with GP practices within the region was 913,000 and continues to increase. Demographic analysis shows a growth in population of 5.3% over the next five years, with the greatest absolute increase in adults of working age. In relative terms, the population aged over 65 is growing fastest, with the most significant increases being recognised in the over 85’s. Information from the Office of National Statistics illustrates the following changes:
Cambridgeshire population is forecast to increase by 4.4% between 2014 and 2019 (28,000 people in total), with most of the increase in South Cambridgeshire.
Peterborough population is forecast to increase by 5.7% between 2014 and 2019 (10,900 people in total).
3
There are also other factors that are creating rapid changes in the population growth and health demographics, including:
The student population of Cambridge City (approx. 25,000) equates to nearly a quarter of the City’s resident adult population.
Changes in the migrant population add to the complexity of commissioning services. The region has a high international migrant population from different socio-economic backgrounds. In the last ten years, there has been a particular influx from Romania, the Baltic States and the USA (mainly armed forces).
There are significant areas of deprivation in areas of Cambridgeshire and Peterborough. The latter is predominantly urban, with 26% of the population living in areas that are amongst the 20% most deprived in the country.
Life expectancy figures illustrate significant differences across the region for both men and women.
Over the duration of the last five year plan, the acuity of the population’s health need increased by 2.5% per annum and is now forecast to increase to 3% in 2016/17. This in part reflects the increase in growth of our elderly population.
In 2014 the Health system alone was identified as one of eleven ‘challenged Health economies’ nationally, with an estimated £250m f i n a n c i a l ‘ gap’ i d e n t i f i e d over the next five years. The root cause of this is identified to be a mismatch between capacity and demand, which affects all parts of the system and is significantly affecting all providers. The CCG reports that by 2018/19 if there has been no change within the Health system they will face a deficit of at least £250 million. In addition, the budgets for adult social care for both Councils are under considerable pressure. This manifests itself not just in a reduction in funding for care packages, but in contracting care home and home care markets – a common issue within ‘Shire’ areas of the country and where reductions are forecast in funding for the voluntary sector. Discussions with the CCG have commenced although these are not yet finalised. The demand for mental health services continues to increase, particularly the number of people presenting with dementia. The focus on community-based ‘recovery’ services to alleviate the pressure on acute provision places significant pressures on community services and the voluntary sector (referred to above). Work is underway with Cambridgeshire County Council (CCC) to develop an overarching strategy to protect and invest in preventative and early-intervention services and to focus on building independence and resilience, via a number of actions under the umbrella of a Health Impact Assessment plan. At present, the Trust anticipates a cost improvement (CIP) requirement of £8.5 million in 2016/17. The twin challenges of growing demand and financial constraint has led the local health and social care system over a number of years to move towards an integrated health and social care model, primarily in mental health services. More recently, the CCG tendered the Older People’s and Adults Community Health Services, which was won by UnitingCare Partnership (a Limited Liability Partnership established by CPFT and Cambridge University Hospitals). This led to approximately 1,300 staff transferring to the Trust on 1 April 2015 to deliver integrated physical and mental health care for older people and adults with long term conditions. The contract between the CCG and UnitingCare was terminated by the Partnership on 2 December 2015, although the Trust continues to deliver the services to patients within their scope under a direct commission from the CCG. As a result of this expansion, the Trust’s annual turnover increased from £127m in 2014/15 to £190m in 2015/16. As a Trust, we remain committed to the integration of services with our partners to alleviate pressure on the system, facilitating better patient care and making the best use of available resources. This includes working with the CCG and our local Councils to lead on the Vanguard programme to remodel urgent and emergency mental health services. The programme seeks to provide a universal, 24/7, mental health crisis care pathway, which can be accessed directly by patients and carers. 2015/16 Performance Review The Trust has invested significantly in infrastructure improvements in-year, with Capital expenditure of £4.3m in 2015-16; all of which has been internally funded. Improvements in the year have included investment in technology to improve IT resilience and performance, investment in mobile working to support clinical staff in the community, and a comprehensive review and reorganisation of the facilities and estate to enhance and ensure a continued safe clinical and working environment. Over the course of 2015/16 the Trust has continued to experience demand and capacity issues, with ongoing challenges for inpatient service capacity and a significant increase in referrals in some service areas. Additional investment will be sought as part of the 2016/17 commissioning round to secure the sustainability of these services.
4
The Board has been satisfied during the year that sufficient plans have been in place to ensure on-going compliance with all existing national targets. Strategic Delivery – Progress During 2015, there have been many changes in the system and the services provided by the Trust. The Board has used this opportunity to review its core values and sense of strategic direction. It has realigned its objectives based on the challenges and opportunities ahead, successfully establishing the Trust as an integrated services provider of both physical and mental health services for the patient and user population that it serves. This transition will help the organisation to build on its successes and ensure a sustainable future going forward. Four strategic work streams form the basis of the five year strategy, each with an Executive Lead, Clinical Sponsor and Project Management support from the Change Team. These work streams will continue into 2016/17.
a) The development, commissioning and implementation of a new Integrated Service
The Trust has worked in partnership with key stakeholders to deliver this component of the strategy and linked this to the system-wide transformation programme being led by the local CCG. The local health economy-wide redesign programme is consistent with the NHS Five Year Forward View principles, with success being measured by the breaking down of barriers between mental and physical care; how the care is provided across the system; and greater use of technology and the provision of care closer to home. In 2015, 1,300 staff transferred to the Trust as part of the Integrated Care for Adults and Older People work stream. Following a detailed mobilisation and transformation plan, services safely transferred to the Trust’s responsibility and, since then, the gradual service integration and culture change has made good progress. Adult Mental Health has worked extensively with the third sector and Primary Care to bridge the gap between primary and secondary care to create a seamless service for patients. In 2016/17, the Trust will continue to support the redesign of Integrated Care for Children and Families work being led by Local Authorities as part of the system-wide transformation process, which will include co-location of some Trust services in Peterborough with the resident Social Care Teams, as a precursor to potential vertical integration. There remains the potential that CPFT could run these integrated services in the future on the basis that we build strong partnerships with third sector organisations e.g. Barnardo’s. The Trust will continue to work with its commissioners, Cambridgeshire Community Services (CCS) – another local provider of Children’s services across a large part of the CCG’s geography - and third sector providers to support a new care delivery model and ensure that we are central to the development.
b) The design, development and implementation of the future CPFT workforce
There has been a significant amount of work undertaken to redesign the clinical and corporate workforce to support the delivery of a service model based on the wider principles of recovery. The model ensures sustainability of a service provision that is affordable and delivers high quality care that meets the needs of patients. An agile working strategy is being implemented, which includes the use of mobile working to drive productivity gains, along with an ongoing review of skill mix. The Trust continues to engage with both private and third sector partners in delivery of specific services as part of the redesign of the clinical workforce. Other key work streams include:
The Apprenticeship Scheme
Safer Staffing Review – Inpatient ward focussed on and following national guidance on appropriate model
Enhanced ‘Grow Your Own’ Programme, working with Anglian Ruskin University (ARU)
Internal leadership and development programmes for corporate and clinical staff
c) Maximising the contribution of IT and the Trust estate This work stream focuses on the development of highly innovative and effective ways to use technology and the Trust estate in support of person-centred care, whilst maximising the financial benefit for CPFT. A five-year Estates Strategy was approved by the Board in 2015, setting out a number of long term programmes to support the development of the Trust e.g. agile working programme, delivery of the integrated care strategy and redevelopment of the Fulbourn site.
5
The Trust has undertaken an extensive review of its sites to ensure that, wherever possible, care is provided close to patients’ homes and communities. An agile working project is in place to support staff to deliver care in those communities. The transfer of CCS services has opened up opportunities to make better use of the estate, support co-location of services and closer working as part of the health and social care system. Information Technology is also an essential enabler to delivering care close to patients’ homes and communities and in reducing administrative costs, improving efficiency and supporting agile working. We have now commenced a number of pilots supporting the mobile working for community clinical staff and these will be extended to cover a broader range of services and staff groups in the coming year.
d) A commercial and financial sustainability strategy
The Trust will seek to deliver financial stability and sustainability over the lifetime of our strategic plan through a mixture of organic growth, selected acquisition and tender success (subject to option appraisal). Following the Integrated Care for Adults and Older People bid, the Trust’s annual turnover has increased by 33% over the past year, to £190m in 2015/16. Building on its Commercial Strategy, the Trust is supporting a number of key priorities:
Working with Cambridge University to (i) develop a Clinical Neurosciences Private Patient Centre in Cambridge and (ii) develop specialised ‘Apps’ for use with mobile technology
The ongoing development of an International Commercial Directorate to actively seek opportunities abroad via the provision of management consultancy advice and support focused on the design of mental health services.
The investigation of potential new service lines in emerging markets that are consistent with the Trust’s five year strategy and successful development of integrated older adult community health services. This includes developments for the Integrated Care Directorate and the forthcoming Children’s Services tender.
Responding to existing services that are subject to procurement in order to maintain existing core services e.g. CAMH Tier 4 Services, Eating Disorder Inpatient Services, Peterborough Prison Services, GP Mental Health and Wellbeing Service and the Children’s Community Eating Disorder Services.
To explore the opportunities around the development of new services e.g. a Female PICU Service to provide both a local and regional service and a perinatal unit as part of the system-wide redesign work.
2. ACTIVITY PLANNING
The Trust takes a robust approach to activity plans being driven by operational services, ensuring that there is sufficient capacity to deliver the required services, whilst aligning this with our commissioners’ plans. Monthly contract meetings are held with commissioners to review performance, demand and capacity and to ensure that performance is aligned with the agreed plan. As part of this ongoing work, the Trust will obviously respect the forthcoming Monitor guidance on activity planning and mental health outcome focussed commissioning models.
3. QUALITY PLANNING The Quality and Safety strategy is led by the Director of Nursing and is founded on the ‘Three Pillars of Quality’ approach, each of which has its own strategic objectives, priorities and work programmes. The quality priorities for 2016/17 are in line with both Local and National commissioning priorities and fall under the following three categories:
Patient safety
Patient experience
Clinical effectiveness In developing these indicators the Association of Medical Royal College guidance on the ‘Responsible Consultant’ has been taken into account. The indicators under each of these headings is set out below and includes any unachieved objectives from 2015/16:
6
Patient Safety 1. To reduce avoidable harm through:
Improved falls prevention and reduction in harm from falls
Reduction in the number of avoidable pressure ulcers acquired in CPFT
Reduction in the number/proportion of self harm (moderate to severe) incidents
2. To improve practice and Trust processes relating to the management of violence and aggression:
Use of restraint
Physical assaults
Seclusion and long-term segregation
3. To improve processes for embedding learning in the Trust from:
Incidents and complaints
Audits and service improvement projects
Service reviews (accreditations, etc) Patient Experience
1. To ensure that our patients are treated in the best possible clinical environments: 2. Improvement in PLACE scores
Note: overall Trust wide 2015/16 scores for mental health wards met the target of scores equal to or higher than national average, but individual wards had scores lower than national average. Also, integrated care directorate (ICD) community wards were excluded from the target. Target for 2016/17:
o Mental health – all wards to have scores equal to or higher than national average o ICD – to show an improvement in 2015/16 scores
Therapeutic environments – relevant scores in patient experience surveys to be no less than 95%
Improving our physical environments:
o Improving signage, especially in ICD wards o Full compliance with Mixed Sex Accommodation Standards in all our wards – privacy and dignity,
safety ligature etc
3. Friends and Family Test – address specific areas that show consistent low scores in the patient experience survey:
Food
Weekend activities
Medication side effects
Clinical effectiveness
1. To implement the Clinical Effectiveness Strategy across the Trust:
All services will be using a Trust-approved Patient Reported Outcome Measure (PROM) that is recorded and reported upon by the end of the year
To strengthen evidenced-based intervention (EBI) processes in CPFT
To strengthen the culture of research among frontline staff
To improve physical health monitoring processes in our mental health services
2. To improve processes for identifying learning and embedding change from:
Incidents, near misses and complaints
Audits, service improvement and research projects
External service reviews

CPFT achieved a ‘Green’ rating overall when it was assessed by the CQC in May 2015 against the ‘Well-Led’ domain, and is committed to sustaining this rating for 2016/17. In particular, the CQC commended the following areas:
The Trust Board had developed a vision statement and values for the Trust; most staff were aware of these
Good governance arrangements were in place, which supported the quality, performance and risk management of the services
Key performance indicators were used to gauge performance
The Trust had undertaken positive engagement action with service users and carers
Team managers had sufficient authority to manage the service effectively
There was effective team working and staff felt supported by this
Staff knew how to use the ‘whistleblowing’ process and could submit items to the risk register
There was a commitment to quality improvement and innovation. CPFT achieved a ‘Green’ rating overall when it was assessed by the CQC in May 2015 against the ‘Well-Led’ domain, and is committed to sustaining this rating for 2016/17 as well as the five ‘Sign up to Safety’ pledges. In particular, the CQC commended the following areas:
The Trust Board had developed a vision statement and values for the Trust; most staff were aware of these
Good governance arrangements were in place, which supported the quality, performance and risk management of the services

There was a commitment to quality improvement and innovation.
Quality review of 2015/16
a) Patient experience
A total of 30 wards/units were assessed in the 2015 PLACE assessment, which included those transferred from Cambridgeshire Community Services. The Trust’s overall organisational scores for PLACE for 2015 were above the national average for all five assessment domains, which was an improvement on the previous year. However, local improvements are needed for some wards/units e.g. those that relate to the age and condition of some of the general buildings. The Trust has made good progress in identifying and developing improved support for carers, including the launch of the ‘Triangle of Care Assessments’ for the mental health services in the Trust; setting up of a Carers’ Board within the Trust; and the launch of the carers’ experience survey.
b) Patient safety
The Trust has made excellent progress in 2015/16 in meeting the objectives of ‘Positive & Proactive Care’ (PPC), which is overseen by the PPC group and chaired by the Director of Nursing. We have significantly reduced the incidents of prone restraint and are confident of completely eliminating this practice by April 2016. During 2015 we have strengthened our incident recording to enable the capture of more detailed information on restrictive practice incidents and include this data on ward monthly dashboards for staff to see progress. In 2015 the Trust also introduced a more robust process for post-incident debriefing for both service users and staff, which will be evaluated in 2016. Our ward managers continue to lead their teams in adopting innovative and proactive care approaches to reduce the need for restrictive practice and have presented their respective ward initiatives at both regional and national events during 2015. These initiatives continue to be mapped through the Trust’s ‘Promise Project’, which has gone from strength to strength during the year.

c) Clinical effectiveness
Improving documentation around diagnosis remained a quality priority for the Trust in 2015/16, with an incremental target of 65% from 47% at the end of 2014/15. At December 2015, performance was recorded at 58%. Other key achievements include maintaining accreditation status in National Quality Improvement Programmes for our services, with a number of our services achieving ‘excellent’. For 2015/16, the Trust committed itself to the development of a Trust-wide Clinical Effectiveness Strategy, taking account of our new services, with the aim of embedding a quality improvement culture in the Trust to support our vision of providing the best possible outcomes for the people who use our services. As part of the strategy, we identified four key priorities for the next three years: research and development, evidence-based interventions, outcome measures and physical health.
Quality Improvement The Trust will map its indicators against national requirements, including CQC standards, Monitor targets, commissioning requirements, CQUINs and other national quality standards such as NICE. In addition, the Trust will have its own local (internal) indicators, which will be based on the Strategic Plan. There will be a governance framework in place to ensure we monitor our progress and performance, including dashboards that are fit for purpose and processes for reporting and monitoring these, as well as a range of monitoring activities e.g. audit, regular team-based monitoring activities such as the Integrated Compliance Assessment Tool (inCA), monthly checks, service reviews, staff and patient surveys, research, and service improvement/development projects. Improvements identified for 2016/17 will include:
strengthening engagement with the Directorates
improving the monitoring processes
ensuring there are adequate resources to support the plan. Seven-day services Seven-day services are a fundamental foundation that underpins the Urgent and Emergency Care Vanguard programme that the Trust is engaged in. The Trust already offers a range of services under the banner of Seven-Day Services (see Table 1 below); through redesign of our services we now provide Crisis Resolution & Home Treatment, Liaison Psychiatry, Personal Wellbeing Services (IAPT); and an enhanced medical rota covering the County. The Trust is seeking to extend and enhance these services in 2016/17.
The Trust is engaged in the delivery of the system-wide Vanguard programmes, which are of fundamental importance to the Trust’s business plans for 2016/17. The work streams will help transform urgent and emergency care requiring a fundamental shift in the way services are provided to all ages; improving in-hospital and out-of-hospital services so that the Directorate and system partners deliver better care, closer to home. Further detail of the programmes is set out in Table 3.

Quality Impact Assessment (QIA) process All Cost Improvement Programmes (CIPS) are identified through the annual business planning process via a bottom-up approach, led by each Directorate. This information is gathered and triangulated to inform the Trust-wide Business Plan. The QIA is an integral part of the overall planning process. Standardised QIA templates include a range of categories e.g. patient safety, patient experience, impact on staff etc. These are completed by Service Managers and clinicians with support from the Trust’s Programme Management Office (PMO). All data is captured centrally by the PMO and ownership for each QIA is held with the Clinical Directors. QIAs are discussed and ratified by Director of Nursing and Medical Director at the start of each financial year. The Trust’s System Change Committee (SCC) has dual responsibility with the Performance and Risk Executive (PRE) for managing the overall CIP programme. Discussions on quality related issues are escalated from these fora to the Quality, Safety and Governance Committee (QSG - a Board sub-committee). The Board is informed of any outstanding risks and mitigations via a report from the QSG. In-year monitoring of QIA is co-ordinated by the PMO and all CIP projects are regularly reviewed for performance against target and, where appropriate, the QIA is reviewed and updated as necessary. There is an exception reporting process to the SCC and PRE for in-year changes. Directorates have responsibility for reporting all above threshold risks (including clinical risks) to the Corporate Risk Register, via the Directorate risk registers. Outstanding quality concerns The Trust received its final CQC report in October 2015 and was praised for the significant improvements made since the last inspection. As a result of the inspection there are three key areas that require improvement at Directorate level and Requirement Notices:
Reg 13: MHA & MCA compliance around section 58 - Consent to Treatment and Seclusion
Reg 15: Ligature risks and observations
Reg 18: Staffing
There were also recommended actions in two other areas, one of which remains outstanding:
Availability of psychological therapies There are a number of action points that require commissioner support, particularly those in relation to staffing and resource requirements. To mitigate the risk, there are a number of steps already in place:
Each Directorate has a specific action plan that feeds into the strategic action plan
A CQC Oversight Group has been established to oversee the implementation of the action plan, with clear lines of reporting to the Performance Risk Executive, the Quality, Safety & Governance Committee and ultimately the Trust Board
Long-term monitoring will be integrated into the performance review processes
Action points around funding requirements will be monitored at agreed intervals through quality, contracts and performance meetings with the commissioners
Monitor has offered to support the Trust in its discussions and negotiations with the commissioners around funding issues to bring the relevant Trust services in line with the CQC recommendations to deliver safe, effective and responsive services.
The Trust has put in place detailed plans to address these concerns and robust governance arrangements to monitor progress, check completion of the actions and the desired outcomes.
Triangulation of indicators The Trust adopts a Directorate-based approach to performance reporting, triangulating indicators, breaking these down by services and engaging clinical and corporate functions in the analysis and review of the data. The data forms part of a monthly reporting cycle to inform the Board of performance in the period. Exceptions and areas of under-performance are scrutinised further, as required.
10
The Trust is a member of the NHS Benchmarking Network and participates in various national benchmarking initiatives throughout the year. This data is used to inform areas for development within the Trust e.g. quality of care and productivity. We also triangulate with the HSCIC published data which is extracted from our mandatory and statutory returns.
4. WORKFORCE PLANNING The overarching Workforce Strategy is underpinned by a suite of supporting strategies:
Organisational Development (OD) Strategy
Health and Wellbeing Strategy
Recruitment and Retention Strategy These suite of strategies will support the Trust in achieving the key aims of the Workforce Strategy by delivering on the following six key workforce objectives across 2016/17:
Integration To develop the workforce to be fully integrated to support future Trust strategies and enhance the skills, knowledge and experience across all staff groups and disciplines, developing new integrated roles
Resourcing and recruitment To attract, recruit and retain high calibre, appropriately skilled and experienced staff who share our values and demonstrate supporting behaviours to ensure the provision of safe integrated care of high quality.
Organisational development To strengthen the leadership and management development ensuring values are role modelled for all staff and appropriate plans are in place to support talent management and succession planning
Workforce planning, education, training and development To develop a robust workforce plan to support the Trust strategy. To support the Trust through the learning and development process, in achieving a competent and confident workforce able to deliver a responsive, equitable, safe and compassionate service that meets all required standards.
Supporting staff To strengthen staff engagement, reward and recognising achievements, and maximising the value of our workforce whilst supporting and improving our staff well-being
Quality and safety To improve patient experience by ensuring staff are appropriately trained, equipped, supported and can perform at their optimum level improving efficiency and productivity.
The Trust already measures a range of key workforce performance indicators via a monthly Workforce Dashboard
and the Trust Board receives quarterly workforce reports which will include progress against the workforce strategy.
The following table details the Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) that will be used to measure the outcomes of the
strategy

The suite of strategies, actions, risks and workforce plans are all overseen by the Workforce Executive; a sub-committee of the QSG. The Trust is focused on supporting staff to deliver excellent care and high quality leadership, whilst maintaining a healthy and highly satisfied workforce. This programme of work is set out in the Health and Wellbeing strategy (to be ratified in March 2106) that identifies the key actions to support staff well-being.
In 2015/16, the Trust put in place a robust action plan in response to the 2014 Staff Survey results. This centred on five core themes; staff safety, work pressures, management support, culture and values and general communications. The results of the 2015 survey show that 34 of the 35 key findings were improved or the same, when compared to 2014. The survey also shows that our top five improvements include more staff who would recommend the Trust as a place to work and would be happy for a friend or relative to be treated here. A comprehensive action plan is being drawn together to ensure that there is ongoing improvement.
The Trust’s approach to workforce planning is aligned to the business planning process, which involves the opportunity for input from all clinical and corporate leaders in line with Health Education England - East’s recommendations. The Trust is aligning its workforce plans with the Sustainability and Transformation Plan via its engagement with the East of England-wide Planning and Transformation Committee work streams. The Trust is part of the local Workforce Partnership Group (WPG), which leads on system-wide planning and transformation. As part of this the Trust is committed to working with its local and Health and Social Care partners to ensure that there is a positive impact on identified staff groups. The Trust also works with the Local Education & Training Board (LETB) to identify priorities and risks for training and workforce supply. The Trust actively engages in system-wide workforce initiatives e.g. recruitment and retention campaigns. It is also leading with the CCG on the mental health Vanguard, as part of the Five Year Forward View. The Trust has an e-rostering system in place that supports most inpatient units (excluding the physical health element of the Integrated Care Directorate) in effective management of rosters. This supports the Trust plan to reduce the use of Agency staffing to a minimum and aids the skill-mix review work being undertaken. It is the intention for all services to use the e-rostering system within the next 18 months. The Trust is also working to ensure it falls within the Agency usage cap set by Monitor, whilst ensuring that services remain safely staffed. The monthly Trust performance dashboard provides detailed information on workforce information that is triangulated with financial and quality metrics. This data is reviewed and analysed as part of the monthly Performance Review Executive meetings.
5. FINANCIAL PLANNING Financial summary The key strategic financial focus of the Trust continues to be the development of the Integrated Older People’s Services following the success in securing the adult and older people’s services tendered by the Cambridgeshire and Peterborough CCG during FY16. The financial year FY16 was a significant transitional year for the Trust, with the transfer of staff and services from Cambridgeshire Community Services and the implementation of the new Integrated Care Service Models taking place over the course of the year. The FY17 focus will be on consolidating our financial position, embedding new service provision, ensuring that income is sustained and seeking conservative growth within existing or related service areas.
12
In line with published Planning Guidance, the Trust is negotiating a base Tariff Inflator of 1.1% with key commissioners, recognising the 2% national deflator and the national inflation uplift of 3.1%. This is reflected in the Financial Plan. The plan also includes recognition of unavoidable cost pressures and agreed elements of service change. The Trust’s key contracts in FY17 will be with NHS Cambridgeshire and Peterborough CCG, for local mental health and community services and adult and older people’s integrated care services, and with NHS England for Specialist Services. The FY17 plan includes a limited number of service developments, as well as a focus on cost reductions throughout the Trust. The Trust continues to explore international opportunities, with continued engagement regarding the provision of specialist support for the development of mental health services overseas. Income NHS Cambridgeshire and Peterborough CCG, which covers the Trust’s core geographic area, is the main Commissioner of Trust services. The Trust’s other main commissioner is NHS England, who commission a range of specialist services. The Trust has a range of smaller commissioning agreements with bordering CCG’s and with Local Authority commissioners under Clinical Partnership arrangements. The Trust’s non-NHS income is primarily from research and development, and education and training activities. The table below highlights the Summary Income and Expenditure position for the Trust for 2016-17: Table 3: Income and Expenditure
Efficiency savings for 2016/17 In developing the 2016/17 Financial Plan the Trust continues to address significant financial challenges within the local Health system, whilst at the same time continuing to provide a range of safe and effective services with restricted funding. The Trust’s financial planning assumptions for the period include responding to the national efficiency requirement for 2016/17 of 2%; addressing the undelivered elements of 2015/16 savings plans and unavoidable pressures within the Trust’s financial cost base.

The Cost Improvement Programme (CIP) for the year has been developed by Directorate Leads, with support from Corporate Services, and includes a range of both transformational and traditional savings plans. Plans have been developed through Executive-led Directorate business planning meetings, chaired by the Chief Operating Officer, with support from the Project Management Office (PMO). The development of detailed CIP project plans has been supported by the Trust’s PMO to ensure each CIP is deliverable and has had a Quality Impact Assessment (QIA) undertaken. There is a robust governance structure in place to manage the delivery of the CIP, with the System Change Committee (SCC), chaired by the Director of Finance, having oversight and scrutiny of the collective development of business plans. The Trust has a number of activities planned for 2016/17 to ensure future sustainability of our services. These include:
Recognising that in the community setting, there is a focus on using data in real-time to support the effective and efficient delivery and design of services. This allows localities to be more responsive and localise the way in which services are delivered to meet local need. This approach will drive out inefficiencies, improve patient care and ensure that staffing is aligned to the need of the local population. It will also highlight any future demands that the Trust is not resourced to meet to inform discussions with commissioners and service redesign
A review of the Trust’s Advice and Referral Centre (ARC), to align this with a Single Point of Access for Integrated Care services. This will focus on how referrals should be managed in the medium-term and links with the Mental Health Vanguard to improve access to emergency care for mental health. This review will include a revised workforce model, including skill mix and a potential estate saving
Continuing to work with commissioners, CCS and social care to support the system-wide redesign of children’s and physical and mental health services in the community. This will facilitate a revised model of care that supports greater integration with the third sector and other providers around Tier 2 Services
Completing the integration of the older adult’s community and mental health services. This will continue to ensure that the model will help to support the system pressures, as well as improving patient care and delivering savings
A comprehensive review of recovery, clinical roles and skill-mix to improve productivity, patient experience and facilitate the smooth transition of patients from inpatient and community settings into Primary Care
The pilot of an enhanced Primary Care service to better meet the needs of people with a serious mental health illness and prevent referrals into secondary mental health services
Accepting a joint lead with the CCG for the mental health Vanguard, which seeks to improve access and response for urgent mental health needs in the system. This will be linked to ‘111’ services and is anticipated to reduce A&E admissions and referrals into secondary mental health services, thereby making financial savings as well as improving services for patients
Reducing agency spend through adoption of the new Agency Rules and focusing on targeted recruitment and enhancing staff bank function.
Capital planning The Capital Plan has been developed via the Trust’s Finance and Capital Infrastructure Group and supports the Directorate business plans for FY17. Membership of this group includes Executive Directors as well as Clinical and Corporate Directorate representation. The Trust intends to continue to finance its Capital Expenditure plans from internally generated funds. The funding available to support Capital Expenditure in FY17, based on forecast Depreciation levels, is £5m. Expenditure at this level will therefore have a net impact of zero on the Trust’s liquidity position in FY17. The outline Capital Plan includes a range of schemes aimed at improving the Trust’s Estate and Infrastructure. This work builds on the Capital Programme in FY16 in ensuring our in-patient, community and corporate facilities are fit for purpose, and that our IT systems provide support to clinical staff in delivering safe and effective patient care. The capital investment is aligned to, and underpins, the Trust Clinical Strategy supporting the sustainability of services. The Trust has a five year Estates Strategy that sets out the plan for improved utilisation of current sites, working with partners to co-locate and to exit sites that are no longer deemed ‘fit for purpose’. An agile working project is in place to support this strategy and facilitate better patient care provided closer to home and the community.

Lord Carter’s provider productivity programme The Trust has taken into account the Lord Carter review and has built these recommendations into the development of its CIP plans, identifying areas where savings can be realised and further efficiencies can be driven out. This work is supported by the NHS Benchmarking Network that the Trust is a member of, which enables the Trust to identify other areas of potential development. There are also long-term strategies in place to assist the Trust in making best use of its resources e.g. in Estates and Workforce. Agency Rules The Trust has fully engaged with the new Agency Rules issued by NHS Improvement. This includes working only with recommended suppliers; monitoring usage and spend; and adhering to the hourly cap on rates. The Trust has had variable use of Agency expenditure throughout 2015/16. To mitigate this for 2016/17 a number of actions have been put in place:
Weekly report on Agency spend by ward to be provided to the COO
All consultancy costs to be reviewed by the Executive board
Review of Trust bed usage to ensure that the Agency Rules are adhered to and that services are delivered in a safe and managed way
Implementation of e-rostering in the Integrated Care Directorate It is anticipated that these control measures will contribute to a significant reduction in 2016/17 on Agency spend. Procurement The Trust outsources its procurement function to specialist providers and works closely with them to review procurement activity and prices/benefits achieved. The Trust adheres to nationally agreed procurement frameworks and spend is monitored via a monthly procurement report, which is reviewed centrally. Additional measures are planned for 2016/17 to provider further focus and control expenditure. These include:
Review of the top 100 most common non-pay items
Clinical focus group established to review and reduce the range of clinical supplies throughout the Trust, in order to reduce spend and deliver consistency
The Trust has an online ordering system and will seek to extend utilisation of this system to cover a wider range of procurement activity, thereby enhancing control
Procurement spend to be reviewed by the Business and Performance Committee (a Board sub-committee) to ensure that adequate governance controls and scrutiny is in place.
Costs
The Plan recognises the impact of specific cost inflation factors on the cost base of the Trust over the planning period. The assumptions include the following for key cost categories, recognising the challenging economic environment:
Pay costs – assumes pay uplift of 1% in FY17, additional pension costs, and an allowance for Incremental drift
Other costs – inflationary increase of 1.1% on specific costs e.g. Third Party contracts etc.
PFI – assumption that the RPI uplift will be 1.1%
The other main changes to the cost base are related to the cost saving plans for the year. The key components of the Cost Improvement Programme are outlined in the CIP scheme table above.
Liquidity
The plan for FY17 is to maintain the liquidity position, with an affordable Capital Plan as outlined above.
Financial Sustainability Risk Rating (FSRR) The Trust delivered a FSRR of 2 in FY16 due to the non-recurrent costs of the settlement agreement for UnitingCare Partnership. The Financial Plan for FY17 sets out plans to return the Trust to an FSRR of 3 for the year.
15
Key financial priorities and investments The Trust’s key financial priority is to deliver the Financial Plan as presented for FY17. This will require ongoing review of the financial assumptions, continuing review of the implementation of the new integrated service models, and ensuring the CIP plan is delivered. The Strategic Change Committee (SCC) will take on an overall CIP monitoring role during the year to ensure that the plan is delivered, or mitigations are put in place to address any shortfalls. The monthly Performance and Risk Executive Meetings will also have a clear focus on CIP delivery and mitigation for any shortfall. The Trust will continue to work with the local CCG to take forward the implementation of a more ‘sensitive’ contracting currency model for mental health services and the potential to move away from a Block Contract. This will result in a more acceptable form of contract, reflecting work undertaken. A key element of this will be to improve the activity data recording and clustering, and linking this to financial systems to develop improved Service Line Reporting and Management. This work will enable the Trust to determine the appropriate funding level for current and any agreed future activity levels from FY17 onwards. Initial discussions with the CCG indicate a preference for a non-Block contract for FY17. The Trust is therefore currently working with the CCG to understand the implications of such an approach.
The Trust will also continue to support the development of the Vanguard Programme in the local Health Economy during the year. At this stage the proposals are under development and the financial impact on the Trust is not yet known. The Trust is also continuing to explore international business development opportunities in Qatar and associated areas. The financial plan does not currently reflect any income or expenditure related to these proposals for Vanguard or international developments; both of which are likely to have positive impact.
Risks and mitigation The Trust has identified a range of risks to the financial plan for FY17, which include the following:
Variable income is not recovered at planned levels
Failure to deliver CIP savings
Change in demographics continuing to impact on service demand
Weak liquidity level
Level of contingencies available to mitigate any in-year changes
Resource and capacity to deliver the identified programmes of work.
The Trust has a number of mitigation options to offset the risks which include:
Qatar Bid – the Trust is bidding to provide support to the Qatar Government in developing Mental Health services. The Trust is in the final shortlist and the award of tender is anticipated in Spring 2016
Additional efficiency savings through greater integration opportunities, as well as exploring further estate rationalisation possibilities
The Enabling Fund of £1million and CIP risk reserve of £0.8m
A comprehensive staffing and skill-mix review
Implementation of the Estates Strategy Review and rationalisation of the estates portfolio. Sustainability and Transformation Plan There is a comprehensive Sustainability and Transformation Plan (STFP) that Health and Social Care have signed up to across the system. The plan sets out the working groups, along with timescales and governance arrangements for delivery of the plan. The areas of focus and the impact on the Trust’s 2016/17 plan are set out below: Table 4: Sustainability and Transformation Plan

Cambridgeshire and Peterborough NHS Foundation Trust (CPFT) holds Governor elections on an annual basis. In
collaboration with the Electoral Reform Service, a timetable is collated in January each year with final Governor
ratification occurring at the May Council of Governors meeting.
Information regarding the election process is communicated to all Trust Members in a members’ newsletter and
Governor nominations are encouraged. Once elected/appointed, each Governor is invited to an internal Trust
induction day where they receive a comprehensive resource pack and presentations from staff about the Trust and
their role. They are also required to attend the NHS Providers Core Skills course. Their development progresses with
a bi-monthly internal training programme, as well as invitations to attend external courses.

In 2014 the Trust produced a three year strategy to recruit and sustain an engaged membership. The programme
was split into three phases, with some immediate actions identified as well as longer term goals. The first phase of
the strategy consisted of a data cleanse (an ongoing task) and membership analysis. A recruitment and engagement
plan was then developed and working papers were, and continue to be, submitted to the Council of Governors on a
twice yearly basis.
The Trust successfully recruits to, and actively engages with, its membership. Members are invited to attend
quarterly Member talks from Trust experts, Council of Governor meetings, mindfulness sessions, training courses,
charity/awareness events as well as participating in consultations and surveys. Governors are asked to attend these
events to enable regular communication between the Trust’s Council of Governors and membership. They also
receive a newsletter every six months and regular emails.
To maintain a diverse membership, the Trust communicates with, and promotes events to, its local constituencies
through libraries, GP surgeries, Community Centres, ethnic minority groups and colleges etc. Staff leaving the Trust
are contacted with the intention of retaining them as Public Members, and volunteers joining the Trust are asked if
they would like to join the membership.

th February 2016
Date: 30th March 2016
Author: Jo Lucas, Interim Chair
Lead Director: Mel Coombes, Director of Nursing and Quality
Executive Summary: The agenda was packed for this meeting and my sense is that authors / presenters need to be
absolutely clear what they want to get from their paper coming to this committee and that
background information should be presented as appendices rather than in the body of the paper.
This can be reviewed when the new cycle of business has embedded. It was also noted that the
opportunity for governors to contribute is limited by massive agendas and limited time. This could
be resolved either by brief meetings with governors or by integrating time for this element of the
meeting into the meeting planning.
Director of Public Health presentation This has been long awaited. It was an opportunity to raise questions of concern and identify areas for future cooperation especially around suicide prevention and dual diagnosis services.
Integrated performance report Noted and agreed that housing and carers figures will be integrated into future reports.
Volunteers strategy The increased capacity was noted and welcomed. It was agreed to look at how volunteer supervision on wards could be integrated into the teams responsibilities
Compact This new agreement for working with third sector organisations was welcomed with a discussion about the importance of supporting joint working and respecting confidentiality.
Carers programme Board It was noted that the culture towards carers has changed and this was welcomed
Risks Register
Potential for risk around Welney Ward closure and impact of Vanguard programme on vacancies were noted

REPORT
Subject: Quality, Safety & Clinical Governance -Exception Report
Date: 30th March 2016
Author: Mary Mumvuri (Deputy Director of Nursing and Quality)
Lead Director: Melanie Coombes ( Director of Nursing and Quality)
Executive Summary: This integrated quality and safety exception report provides an overview of the Trust performance on key measures up to end of February 2016. Specifically, it includes areas related to patients and carers experience, complaints, PALS, patient safety, serious incidents, RIDDORs, Claims, safeguarding children and adults, infection prevention and control, Safety Thermometer and Positive and Proactive Care. This summary should be read in conjunction with the attached slide deck where additional information is provided in the form of tables and graphs. Patient Experience
Friends and Family Test - showed that 92.41% out of 1186 people surveyed would recommend the Trust if they needed similar care or treatment. This is a slight increase from 89.16% in January.
The Children’s Directorate had a 2% decrease in the positive recommend score during the reporting period. The areas requiring improvement are ensuring young people know how to contact the team and helping them to make choices about their care and treatment in two of the community based teams. This was however, a significant improvement of 8% from December to January scores where respondents indicated that they would not recommend the service due to long waiting lists. The Directorate has continued to work on reducing waiting list and this is showing month on month improvements. Other improvements were also noted in Specialist directorate inpatient FFT where scores rose by 30% from 26% to 56%
Meridian satisfaction survey - there has been a 2% decrease in the overall score to 88.14% in February compared to 90.14% in January. This is the lowest Trust score in the last twelve months. Main decreases were noted in Adult community mental health (2%) and Integrated Care Community 4% and were in response to knowing who and how to contact services to get support out of hours, explanation of medication side effects, weekly reviews of care, explanation of care plan and inadequate evening and weekend activities. Due to the changes in the cycle of business, the detailed analysis at Sub-Board groups and Directorate Governance Meetings that usually inform actions required has not taken place. This will be reported in the next Board report.
2
Food rating average score remains static at 69% for January and February however reduced scores were reported across most adult acute wards with a significant decline on Darwin, GMH and Phoenix. Improvements were noted on all Integrated Care Wards. Review and analysis of the recent changes will be undertaken at the next PLACE oversight forum. Recent improvements to the menu on Springbank and on S3 have contributed to the positive and increased satisfaction scores in February and reflected in some of the qualitative feedback.
Evening/weekend activities - the score has increased from 59% in January to 64% in February however, it remains relatively low when compared with the year figures. Significant decline was noted on Maple, Oak 1 and GMH and slightly on Mulberry 3, Oak 3 and Phoenix, some of which correlates to poor staffing fill rates.
Possible medication side effects inpatients and community – the scores this month indicate a continuing downturn to 62% for inpatients which is the lowest score over the past year. Wards with poor scores include ICD inpatient wards and four of the six Specialist Directorate wards. Community survey showed 81% satisfaction which is a continuing decline from 91% in September 2015. The most affected areas are community based ICD services and some Adult mental health teams. ICD only started seeking feedback on this measure from January 2016, prior to this, the Directorate only asked the Patients Friends and Family Test question. The Interim Chief Pharmacist has been tasked with working with the clinical directorates to understand the issues impacting on practice and to support them with identifying and implementing some improvement actions. This will be followed up in the coming months through Quality, Safety and Governance Committee (QSG). On the contrary, the Specialist Directorate community teams have improved significantly, achieving 100% satisfaction from all the patients surveyed.
PALS – there was a slight decrease in enquiries from 49 to 46 in February, 37% of which (n = 17) were concerns related to delays in accessing Psychological and Well Being service, accessing continence products for residents in care homes, concerns from primary school about accessing Speech and language Therapy and dissatisfaction with the assessment and diagnosis from Adult Locality Teams. Feedback has been provided to the services for further action and progress on this will be reported via QSG.
Complaints
There has been a continued decrease in the number of complaints registered – 14 in February, 16 in January and 20 in December. Of the 14, 6 were received from the Adult Mental Health Directorate, 5 Integrated Care Directorate, 2 Specialist and 1 Corporate.
100% of the complaints were acknowledged within 3 working days. The average response time in February was 43 working days which was an increase from the 36 days in January. Following the restructure and reorganisation of the Nursing and Quality Directorate, an extra resource has been identified to support the Complaints administrative processes. This should free the Complaints Officer to be able to offer training and additional support to Investigating Officers in order to improve the timeliness and quality of complaint investigations.
A third of the complaints received this month related to staff attitude, in particular nursing staff in the community and inpatients. The other theme was access to Community services, including issues with discharge arrangements and access to psychological therapies. Communication continues to be a theme throughout the majority of complaints received.
A total of 16 complaints were closed in February. Of these 3 were upheld, 7 were partially upheld, 3 were not upheld, and 3 were withdrawn. Where complaints have been upheld or partially upheld, action plans are developed and monitored to demonstrate improvements.

Patient safety and Serious Incidents
969 patient safety incidents were reported in February. 633 (65.4%) resulted in no harm, 250 (25.8%) low harm, 69 (7.1%) moderate harm, 5 (0.5%) severe, 2 (0.2%) deaths related to patient safety and 10 (1%) unrelated to patient safety.
There were 137 (14.1%) patient self-harm incidents, and 114 (11.7%) patients developed pressure ulcers.
There were 10 SIs reported in January and 11 in February. The majority continues to come from the Adult Mental Health Directorate and are as a result of unexpected deaths. There have been 4 Information Governance incidents, 3 of which originated from the Children’s Directorate and 1 from ICD. They are all currently under investigation.
SI report submissions –The timeliness of SI report submissions to Commissioners reduced from 85% in January to 81% in February. This was in part due to internal quality scrutiny which required the reports to be further revised and sickness and absence of the Investigating Manager which made it difficult to re-start the investigation because all interviews had already been undertaken and it was thought to be inappropriate to re-allocate and repeat interviews all over again. . Inquests – there were 3 new cases opened, 2 of which involved District Nurse teams. The 3 closed inquests returned verdicts of drug related overdose. Harm-free care – Safety Thermometer survey of 1163 patients across older people inpatients and community service and inpatient learning disability shows a Harm Free care of 94% against a target of 95%. There has been a significant reduction in the reported number of new pressure ulcers in February. The survey of the remaining 3 harms reports no change. Infection Prevention and Control – no cases of MRSA bacteraemia or Clostridiums Difficile reported which is the same as the previous month. Children safeguarding training - Safeguarding children compliance figures across the Trust have risen from 84% in Q3 to 91% end of February and this is reflective of the intensive monitoring of performance and additional training offered by the Safeguarding children team. There continues to be an increase in contacts with the safeguarding children team across the Trust. In February this was particularly evident with increases in enquiries from the Children and Adult Directorates across the Trust. Prone position “Face Down” restraint – Only 1.61% of the incidents involved prone restraint. There
were 9 prone restraints reported in February, from 4 wards. This is an increase from 5 in January. 6 of
the prone restraints were in relation to administering IM injections. Staff continue to be trained to
administer IM injections in a supine position.
Claims – there were 2 new claims issued against the Trust in February which are being reviewed. RIDDOR incidents – there were no RIDDOR incidents confirmed during February. There are 3 outstanding RIDDOR issues all related to the Adult Directorate. Learning from Mistakes League – The Department of Health has published a “learning from mistakes league” ranking Trusts on their openness and honesty. The league table has been drawn together by scoring providers based on the fairness and effectiveness of procedures for reporting errors; near misses and incidents; staff confidence and security in reporting unsafe clinical practice; and the percentage of staff who feel able to contribute towards improvements at their Trust. The data for 2015/16 is drawn from the 2015 NHS staff survey and from the National Reporting and Learning System. Providers can be measured as outstanding, good, cause for significant concern or has a poor reporting culture.

636 compliments were received
in February.
46 PALs enquiries in February,
of which 17 were concerns.
1186 responses received in
February (888 in January)
88% in February (90% in
January)
Average response time in February was 43 working days
against a target of 30 working days. This was an increase from
January (36).
The main theme this month related to staff attitude, in particular
nursing staff. The other theme was access to Community
Services, including issues with discharge arrangements and
access to psychological therapies. Communication continues to
be a theme throughout the majority of complaints received.
The Trust received the final report for a complaint about the
Advice and Referral Centre which was found to be upheld. The
Directorate are currently in the process of drafting the action
plan.
This high figure reflects compliments and positive comments
received via the Trust patient experience surveys (‘what's been
good about the service you’ve received ?’) .
Main concerns were issues relating to accessing the new
Psychological Wellbeing Service, accessing continence products
for residents in a care home, concerns about patients unhappy
with their assessment and diagnosis from Adult Locality Teams,
and concerns from a primary school relating to delays in
accessing Speech and Language Therapy Service.
92% recommend/2% don’t recommend. The % of
recommended has increased from 89%/not recommended
remains static. The Children’s Directorate had a decrease in the
positive recommend score since last month of 1%.
There has been a 2% decrease in the score , the lowest
recorded in the last 12 months. However there has been a
substantial increase in the responses from the Integrated Care
Directorate which has impacted on the overall score.
Remind investigators of
response target timeframe.
As part of the consultation in
the Nursing & Quality
Directorate, an additional
resource has been identified
to support the administration

Patient Friends and Family National Data – December 2015
Response Numbers =13593 Response Numbers = 72552
• Data is based on NHS England December 2015 figures
• Figures for December 2015 show lowest scoring Trust scores and highest scoring Trust scores. Number of submissions per Trust varies
considerably for December, from a low of 9 response to a high of 4822 (community groupings) 6 – 1264 (mental health groupings).
• A 2% increase in positive recommend score is noted for CPFT within the Mental Health Groupings. Community Groupings remains
static.
• National data is not directly comparable due to flexibility in FFT collection methods/variation in local populations.
• Data is submitted nationally under broad service categories – within the mental health and community groupings.
• Services can be configured differently on a national basis and therefore this should be taken into consideration when reviewing the figures.

Patient Friends and Family National Data by Trust – December 2015
• Figures show national data from neighbouring Trusts based on December 2015 figures.
• % recommend scores are based on positive responses to the Patient Friends and Family Test question.
• Data is not directly comparable due to flexibility in FFT collection methods, and localised Trust agreement on Mental

Comments
.
The support I have had from here has been amazing a lot of places down south don't have any services like they have here all the staff have been understanding supportive and patient with helping me I owe them my life and a big thank you
I found most of the staff very cold and rarely smiling. There was no real support here other than medication, I was not even spoke to a psychologist one on one to discuss what treatments Would help me when I left. The whole process seemed to be to get you out As quick as possible
I have found the CBT sessions that I had extremely
useful. This was great, especially as I have had other
therapy in the past (at other places) which has not
helped so much
I was impressed by the skill
and professionalism of the
service, the assessment of my
progress and continuing needs,
and provision of useful
equipment
Long waiting list
Well I'd hope that I wouldn't have to
'recommend' it to anyone because
frankly who wants to be in hospital!
It's such a laid back unit support is
awful !! They care more about bed
times then how much you eat
I really hate this place at time.. Well all the time!! Although some staff here are very good at their job
Support is individual, non judging and genuine. As much or as little help. Good experience
Kind and helpful
My mother was extremely ill on admission
what a difference to her now after the care
from dedicated staff

Meridian Surveys – Overall Satisfaction
Response total = 1208
• Scores shown are based on the overall responses to all questions for all Directorate-wide surveys. Survey
data now includes the Integrated Care Directorate, following the launch of the realigned surveys from the
11/1/16.
• Scores denote a 2% decrease in score, which represents the lowest score in the past twelve months.
However a substantial increase in responses from the IC Directorate is included this month, which has
impacted on the overall score.
The following report decreased scores:
• Adult Community = 2%
• Integrated care community = 4%
• All other services indicate a static or increase in satisfaction score for overall survey question responses.
11
Meridian – Low and high ranking score in community and inpatients
Response total = 168 Response total =1040
• The graph above highlights the lowest four scoring questions and
the highest four ranking questions for the inpatient surveys –
Acute, Specialist, Integrated Care.
• Weekly care meetings drops into the bottom four ranked questions
this month replacing understanding care plans - due to low scores to
this question from inpatient wards in the Integrated Care Directorate.
• The graph above highlights the lowest four scoring questions and
the highest four ranking questions for the community surveys –
Acute, Specialist, Children’s, Integrated Care.
.
• Knowing who care co-ordinator/key worker is drops into the
bottom four ranked questions replacing having an out of hours
contact number. Lower scores for have a plan of
care/treatment/therapy are primarily due to low scores within
Integrated Care Community teams.

Food rating
Scores are based on responses within inpatient wards to the question ‘How
would you rate the food on the ward?’
Overall figures indicate a static score in positive responses to food.
Extracted heat map data highlights those wards with lower scores (ie 74% and
below) over past three month period.
• Adult Directorate: A number of teams have lower scores this month, despite
less negative comments
• Specialist Directorate: The majority of teams have low scores
• Integrated Care Directorate: Most wards indicate some improved scores.
ICD new survey was launched 11/1/16 with equivalent trust wide questions,
therefore no comparable data for these wards is available for December.
How would you rate the food on the ward? Selection of comments (February 2016)
Croft Good compared to most hospitals, it helps that they have a housekeeper to cook it!
Darwin Centre Cook chill is pure sxxx but Debbie cooking nice
Mulberry 2 Okay overall but sandwich selection not so good
Oak 4
Food cooked on ward is amazing. Canteen food is a lot better, more variety due to 4
weekly rotation. More flavour in food.
P'bor Int Care Unit Enjoyed the food like being in a restaurant
P'bor Int Care Unit Some hot meals arrived cold Hot meals not very appetising
P'bor Int Care Unit Fantastic
Phoenix Centre Very disgusting! Bland no flavour unappetising

Issue/Risk Action to Take/Taken Who by When by
Failure to submit any of the three required
reports within the timeframe results in non
adherence to the agreed KPI and a contract
query with the CCG.
Continue to work with directorates to ensure that
the timeframes are adhered to. The changes to
the national reporting timeframe from 45 to 60
days will help the Trust to meet this target in the
future. An analysis of the length of delayed
reports tend to be within this timeframe.

Infection Prevention & Control
Context
• MRSA screening is a requirement of the Health and Social Care Act and allows for adequate precautions and treatment to take place. Data is percentage of wards who have completed a screening return, not percentage of patient screened (as per requirement from NHS Cambridgeshire).
• National requirements for mental health trusts reflect the lower level of risk, so there is targeted screening of high risk patients only.
Context
• Essential Steps is the audit too used to demonstrate good
practice within infection prevention and control.
• It monitors compliance with hand hygiene, aseptic technique,
sharps and personal protective equipment.

Safety Thermometer – February 2016 – Overall Trust The NHS Safety Thermometer involves the collection of data on patient harm. It provides a “snapshot” survey of the 4 harms -
pressure ulcers, falls, urinary tract infections (UTIs)/catheters, and venous thromboembolism (VTE).
This data reflects the Trust’s inpatient Wards and Neighbourhood Teams in the Integrated Care Directorate, and the two Learning
Disability inpatient Wards from the Specialist Directorate.
The results collected on 17 February had a response rate of 27 teams out of a total of 30.

BOARD OF DIRECTORS MEETING
REPORT
Subject: “Hard Truths” Safer Staffing – Inpatient Exceptions
Date: 30th March 2016
Author: Mary Mumvuri (Deputy Director of Nursing and Quality)
Lead Director: Melanie Coombes (Director of Nursing and Quality)
Executive Summary: This is the fifteenth in the series of exception reports to the Board in respect of the national inpatient safer staffing publication. The report provides figures and an analysis of the Registered Nurses (RNs) and Health Care Assistants (HCAs) monthly average fill rates for day and night shifts for January and February 2016. The fill rates are analysed against quality, safety and workforce measures. Exceptions are reported on average fill rates below 80% and above 130%. Each ward’s average RN and HCA fill rates for day and night shifts are uploaded on Unify on a monthly basis and the data is accessible to members of the public through Choices. The key highlights are: RNs average fill rates less than 80% - in January and February, Mulberry 1 & 2, Oak 4 and Maples had low RN fill rates at night. In addition, Hollies and the Croft were noted to have a low fill rate during the day during February. RN average fill rates above 130% - these were noted during the day on Croft and on IASS in January and on night shifts on Trafford and S3 throughout February. Complaints – Of the 20 complaints received by the Trust in January and 16 in February, 3 and 4 of these related to inpatient areas but none were concerned with unsafe staffing. Datix Staffing incidents - There were 19 reported incidents of inadequate staffing or poor skill in January and 17 in February. The Datix incidents indicate that no harm to patients was caused as a result. Vacancies and recruitment - Band 5 & 6 RNs vacancies are gradually declining and are 24.18 % and 6.34% respectively as of end of February. Four areas have been agreed as a focus in the recruitment and retention plan for the next six months and they are aligned to the recruitment and retention strategy. Establishment review outcome - there are ongoing contracting discussions and negotiations in respect of the required increase in staffing in response to the November 2015 establishment review and outstanding compliance actions following the CQC inspection last year.

Hard Truths – Safer Staffing Inpatient services 1. Purpose
This report provides the Board with exceptions in respect of Safer Staffing for all inpatient wards. 2. Background
The background to this report is well documented. The exceptions in this report continue to be based on levels below 80% and above 130%, the latter which tends to be related to increased levels of dependency and reflect the funding gap following an establishment review in 2014. The exceptions are analysed alongside internal online safer staff reports, workforce metrics, patient safety and complaints as it relates to inadequate staffing in order to provide assurance about quality of care. 3. Average staffing fill rates
Graph 1 below shows the average RNs fill rates for the last four months as being mainly over 90% apart from December when it dropped to 89%. The reasons for this decline were indicated in the January exception report to Board. The pattern seems to be one of difficulties in filling night shifts compared to day shifts, typically as a result of short notice cancellation of shifts due to sickness and temporary staff not reporting for duty.
Graph 1
Exceptions - fill rates less than 80% In January and February, Mulberry 1 & 2, Oak 4 and Maples had low RN fill rates. In addition, Hollies was noted to have a low fill rate in January and the Croft in February. As new career development opportunities in services within the Trust have emerged, this has attracted staff movement from inpatient to community based services; such has been the case in some adult acute wards and CAMHS. There are ongoing reviews of career development opportunities to enable a flexible training pathway for RNs and to make inpatient care just as attractive. An analysis of the reasons for lower fill rates showed that this was a result of short term sickness and absence and removal from clinical duties, which impacted on ability to find replacement cover at short notice. In some of the more specialist services such as the Croft, it is difficult to find temporary staff with

the relevant skills and knowledge to work with the client group, therefore the short fall has been mitigated by support from Ward Manager and HCAs who know the children well. Other reasons for the staffing gap have been Agency staff not reporting for duty and a sudden increase in acuity or dependency on the ward which requires immediate arrangements for additional staff, such is the case where formal observations are initiated during the course of a shift. In the event of inadequate staffing particularly at night, the DNOs undertake risk assessments of the whole site and redeploy resources accordingly. An analysis of Datix related incidents indicate that the Nurses in Charge of shifts always use professional judgement to prioritise tasks to ensure safety is maintained and fundamental care needs are met. Impact of staffing gaps has been noticed on facilitation of activities particularly during evenings and weekends and escorted leave for detained patients. Welney ward – fill rates have been in the lower 80% for RNs. The ward continues to successfully recruit to RN vacancies. There is a planned incremental approach to re-opening the beds with a view to fully operating up to 16 beds by end of April. Fill rate over 130% The Matrons and Heads of Nursing are requested to provide rationale for higher than planned staffing cover. This is to ensure effective use of resources, by checking that formal observations are reviewed in a timely manner and that there is an appropriate spread of skill mix. This scrutiny confirmed that the increase in staff was required in response to enhanced observations as a result of increased dependency on the wards. In the case of S3 and IASS, this is also reflective of the funding gap following an establishment review in 2014 which showed that the wards require additional RNs to cover their shifts. A decision is pending on the recommendations made from the most recent establishment review to formally strengthen the skill mix and increase the nursing establishment. Internal Safer Staffing tool The wards with more uncovered shifts are consistent with those reporting higher incidents of inadequate staffing. Due to the staffing shortages on some wards, the night shifts have only had one RN instead of two. In such cases, the risk has been mitigated by support from DNO, adjacent wards and by covering with HCAs who know the wards well. Impact on patient experience While there was no harm associated with inadequate staffing however the impact has been on patient experience as captured via the Meridian surveys. When staff report incidents on Datix and on the online staffing tool, they also indicate the actions taken to remedy the situation and the activities and care they are unable to provide as a result. Tasks such as facilitation of escorted leave for detained patients, facilitation of therapeutic 1:1 engagement time and provision of activities tend to be the ones most affected and yet they make a significant impact on the experience of inpatient stay. This was noted on the Meridian survey results for mental health wards in January. The Ward Managers are exploring options of increasing provision of activities at weekends and out of hours through use of Volunteers and working differently with Occupational Therapists. Analysis of staffing on patient safety incidents and complaints Of the 20 complaints received by the Trust in January and 16 in February, 3 and 4 of these originated from inpatient areas. An analysis of the reasons for the complaints revealed that they were unrelated to lack of staff or inability to receive appropriate and timely care on the wards.

All clinical teams are encouraged to report situations of inadequate staffing as patient safety incidents on Datix and this information is communicated to Heads of Nursing on a weekly basis for action. There were 19 reported incidents of inadequate staffing or poor skill in January and 17 in February. An analysis of the Datix incidents indicates that no harm was caused to as a result however there was in some cases, an impact to their experience as already alluded to. Band 5 & 6 RNs recruitment Task and Finish group The Band 5 & 6 Trust recruitment and retention action plan has been reviewed recently by the group to refocus its attention on areas assessed as potentially resulting in high impact. The four areas identified are improving the marketing of services to demonstrate the unique specialist and integrated services provided by the Trust, reviewing the effectiveness of the recruitment and retention initiatives, exploring transport and accommodation options. These new focused areas are aligned to the recruitment and retention strategy however the success of it require additional resources to support the developments. Due consideration is being given to progress these actions. Two recruitment events aimed at third year students have been organised and the first was held at Anglia Ruskin University (ARU) on 12 March and a second one is scheduled for 2 April. Majority of the students who attended the event have been offered staff nurse positions. Learning and feedback from the event on 12 March has been gathered and will be used to improve and shape the 2nd April event. There are additional plans to attend other Universities job fairs. At the recent Trust wide Induction, it was noted that the majority of the new nursing staff in attendance had been trained from outside ARU. This means that efforts to target staff nationally have yielded some results. Feedback about reasons for choosing the Trust was an attraction to work in some of the innovative service and the support offered to Preceptees by the Trust. The success of the preceptorship programme followed a review that led to the development of a bespoke programme and provision of protected time to work on the programme objectives, something which has been welcomed by the staff. Workforce metrics Vacancies in some wards remain a concern in respect of fill rates. The Band 5 & 6 Recruitment and retention group has been monitoring vacancies for this staff group since October 2014 to identify hot spot areas and to inform actions for improving the position. Over the course of a year, vacancies for Band 5 RN have ranged between 32.96% and 14.74% but with a current rate of 24.18% as of end of February. The rate has been declining since September 2015 which has been encouraging in light of the focused recruitment for Band 5 RNs. For Band 6 Nurses, the highest rate since October 2014 was 13.48% and a most recent rate of 6.34% end of February 2016. This is not a surprise given that after a period of working as a Band 5 RN, some staff will be looking for promotion and a step up; hence the Band 6 vacancies tend to be lower overall. Sickness and absence rates for all ward based staff were between 4% and 50% in January and 10% and 43% in February. Although Willow and Maples had high sickness rates in January, however they were able to find replacement cover. On Hollies where there was 50% sickness absence, this impacted on their ability to find replacement cover for RNs resulting in a 72.4% RN fill rate during the day. The gap was mitigated by additional HCAs and support from other members of the MDT who work during office hours. Lord Byron, PICU, Darwin and S3 had sickness rates above 30% in February and for January this was on Oak 3, Maple, Willow and Hollies, however most of these wards had good average fill rates. Establishment review –There are ongoing discussions about the recommendations from the last establishment review completed in November 2015. The CCG requested and has been provided with additional information containing raw data that was collected by wards as part of this establishment review
7
as well as information on how the previous investment was used. It is hoped that this additional information will aid decision making. 4. Board Action
The Board is asked to note the exceptions, the changes to the focus of the recruitment action plan, recent successful recruitment campaigns and the fact that a decision is waited on the recommendations of the establishment review and the CQC Inspection “must do” actions in respect of staffing on Springbank and PICU.

BOARD OF DIRECTORS MEETING
REPORT
Subject: Nursing Revalidation
Date: 30th March 2016
Author: Rebecca Thorogood, Nurse Lead for Revalidation
Lead Director: Mel Coombes Director of Nursing
Executive Summary Revalidation is the process that all registered nurses will need to engage with to demonstrate that they practise safely and effectively throughout their career. Registrants will need to revalidate with the Nursing & Midwifery Council (NMC) every three years, at the point of their renewal of registration. In practice every registered nurse working within the Trust will need to demonstrate the following:
Practise a minimum of 450 hours over the three years prior to the renewal of registration
Undertake 35 hours of continuing professional development (CPD)
Obtain five pieces of practise-related feedback
Record a minimum of five written reflections on the NMC Code
Engage in a Reflective Discussion with another NMC registrant
Provide a health and character declaration
Declare appropriate cover under an indemnity arrangement
Gain confirmation, from a third party, that revalidation requirements have been met
Registered nurse to submit application for revalidation on NMC online
During 2015 the NMC worked with 19 organisations across the UK to pilot the new system. Learning from these pilots has been used to refine the revalidation model that the NMC announced on the on 8th October 2015. Purpose This brief paper updates the Board on our state of readiness and follows on from the previous paper to Board on 27th January 2016 and the report to QSG on 20th October 2015. Current Situation The NMC have confirmed the new model of revalidation will commence in April 2016. The application process will be undertaken online and any evidence required for audit verification must be submitted electronically to the NMC within 14 days of their request. The NMC have stated they will notify nurses 60 days before their revalidation online application is due.
2
The NMC have provided training resources and materials for employers to use within their organisations to prepare nurses for revalidation This guidance has been used within CPFT to:
inform launch sessions with key leaders,
deliver workshops with registered nurses in both clinical and non clinical roles
develop an E-learning package, accessible to all, as a point of reference. Workshops and training sessions have been positively evaluated with staff feeling, supported, prepared and confident. CPFT’s Revalidation Project Group, chaired by the DoN, continues to promotes a nursing empowerment ethos through the provision of education and support which emphasises nursing professionalism and accountability alongside monitoring uptake of the organisational resources being made available Current Position: The Implementation Plan and Key Milestones for the project remain largely unchanged. and the monitoring system is bedded in with the Revalidation Lead Nurse and DHoN’s fully aware of the timely steps to be taken to support nurses revalidating. Communication between parties is fluid and reactive if/when required. Implementation Plan and Key Milestones
Revalidation Project Steering convened and has met six times. A decision was made to meet bi-monthly from April
High level project plan signed off in January.
Communications Plan developed and CPFT Revalidation Newsletter produced monthly and disseminated via staff news with hard copies being circulated within Directorates. (Feedback will be sought in February from registered staff to review the newsletter content and consider suggestions and improvements).
E-Learning package launched from the 1st December 2015.Statistics of use are awaited from L & D. This package provides an overview of the revalidation process, the requirements and the NMC revalidation tools and templates
Revalidation Nurse Lead attended each Directorate meeting alongside the Directorate Heads of Nursing to ensure leadership team are aware of revalidation and responsibilities.
11 Launch sessions have been delivered to key leaders within services between 29th October and 13th November 2015. Leaders have since been undertaking training sessions locally within their services to ensure resources are spread.
40 workshops for clinical nurses completed.
4 workshops for nurses in non-clinical roles completed in January
8 Reflective Discussion and Confirmer sessions completed in January.
By end of April current figures show at least 540 CPFT registered nurses will have completed the workshops training. (approx. 50% of our registered staff) This figure increases daily as workshops remain open for bookings.
HR Lead distributes revalidation data (approximately)monthly to each Directorate Head of Nursing. Individual’s Revalidation dates are drawn from ESR
Data on ESR is being cleansed, where necessary through review by team leaders and managers, reporting back any missing or incorrect data for amendment
3
Revalidation Lead holds ‘Department walks’ – these are being well received by teams and offer further opportunity for practical support and guidance
Revalidation Lead Nurses Drop in clinics commenced in March are well received - staff book in slots to review their portfolios prior to submission.
Targeted emails are being sent by the Revalidation Lead Nurse to individuals 3 months before their revalidation to those who have not engaged with the workshops provided.
Workforce Development have confirmed that there is a system we can use to prompt and further alert registered staff of forthcoming revalidation dates alongside the registration reminder sent directly from the NMC.
Workshop sessions will continue in April and their need and frequency will be reviewed by the Revalidation Project Steering Group and delivered accordingly.

Eliminating Mixed Sex Accommodation
1. Purpose
It is a statutory requirement to declare and publish our Trust’s compliance against the delivery
of same sex accommodation standards on an annual basis and to inform commissioners of our
compliance status.
This paper provides:
A summary of our Trust’s compliance against the standards
Summary of the actions wards have taken to ensure we have all the measures in place to demonstrate good practice and robust risk management in relation to the standards
A draft Declaration of Compliance for Board consideration and publication on our Trust website
2. Background & Context
Cambridgeshire and Peterborough NHS Foundation Trust is committed to a
person-centred approach to care through the provision of environments that
both promote and safeguard the privacy and dignity of patients. The standards expected are
stipulated in ‘Delivering Same Sex Accommodation’ (DoH, 2009) and summarised thus:
The Trust is required to ensure that sleeping areas, toilets and washing areas are designated
and clearly identified as either women or men only and can be provided in:
Same sex wards or units, where the whole ward is occupied by men or women only
Mixed sex wards or units where patients are cared for in single rooms with en-suite or adjacent same sex washing and toileting facilities. In mixed sex environments each ward will provide a clearly signed ‘ladies only’ sitting room
Mixed sex wards or units where patients are cared for in same sex bays with adjacent same sex toilet and washing facilities. In mixed sex environments each ward will provide a clearly signed ‘ladies only’ sitting room
Moreover, in ‘With Safety in Mind: Mental Health Services and Patient Safety. Patient Safety
Observatory Report (NPSA, July 2006), findings on sexual assaults within inpatient settings
suggested that both women and men are vulnerable, for example men also report unwanted
sexual pressure. This comes mainly from other men but occasionally from women. Therefore, it
is also very important that staff teams are aware and are vigilant of individual risk issues,
whatever the gender make-up of the ward.
3. Changes since the 2015/16 Statement of Compliance
The Eliminating Mixed Sex Accommodation Policy was reviewed in September 2015 and revised to reflect transferred services from Cambridgeshire Community Services and to also clarify the provision of same sex lounges across the Trust (the provision of female lounges is a requirement in mental health settings though not in physical healthcare settings). The new policy reflects the MHA Code of Practice (2015) and includes strengthened guidance on how front-line staff manage breaches, including escalation to ensure Directorate and Trust oversight.
Changes have also been made to the Datix incident notification list to ensure that Directorate Heads of Nursing and Corporate Nursing have timely oversight and are alerted to breaches. All incident reports relating to breaches of same sex accommodation must have the breach and resulting management plan signed off by the Directorate Heads of Nursing and for Corporate Assurance the Head of Nursing or Deputy Director of Nursing.
4. Methodology
As in previous years, the Head of Nursing requested the ‘Eliminating Mixed Sex
Accommodation Checklist’ be completed by the Ward Managers of all our mixed sex wards.
Returns were received from all wards and these were verified by either ward visits or telephone
contact to Ward Managers. The checklist includes guidance on definitions and acceptable and
unacceptable breaches and is included in Trust policy (Appendix 1)
Ward Managers were asked to identify any additional actions they would need to undertake to
provide assurance that mixed sex accommodation standards are being met on their wards.
4. Trust Summary The following summary sets out our overall Trust position:
All mixed sex wards are included with the exception of the Croft which caters for young
children and their families.

Breaches
A breach occurred in IASS in May 2015. A female was sleeping
in a single room on the male corridor. As she was sharing a
male designated gender area with two men (even though they
all had their own rooms), the Trust was required to register 3
breaches.
There have been no further reported breaches for the remainder
of 2015/16
3
Ward Checklist returns: Issues for Board to be aware of
Specialist Directorate: S3, Phoenix and Darwin.
In the unusual circumstances of male(s) being admitted, they
are allocated bedrooms with access to toilet/bathrooms for their
sole use. Provision of a single sex sitting room/lounge is also
accommodated
There is a single sitting room/lounge on S3. Due to the ratio of
male to female patients (at most 12 females to 2 males), should
a male be admitted a small room off the main ward area is
designated.
On Phoenix the male bathroom and bedroom facilities that
become designated should a male(s) be admitted are located in
the same area of the ward as the female bathroom facilities.
There is a local risk management protocol in place on the
Phoenix and a ward plan for bed allocation
On Welney Ward, the team are awaiting works to be completed
to ensure permanent gender toilet signage. We have written
assurance that this work will be completed by the 28th March or
sooner if possible.
Adult Directorate: Mulberry 3, Fulbourn.
Female patients on Mulberry 3 who want to have a bath (rather
than a shower in their en-suite facilities), currently access an
assisted bathroom (DDA compliant) that is located at the
beginning of the male bedroom corridor, where they are
escorted by staff at all times.
5. Trust Action in 2015/16 During 2015/16 a number of actions have taken to place to improve environments for patients
and ensure robust governance and practice standards including:
Maple Unit refurbishment which introduced enhanced gender segregation facilities. In addition to the single sex bedrooms, the bedroom corridor has been sub-divided into female and male only areas. Access to the female area is accessed via a swipe card (issued to female patients) and exit is via an electronic press plate. The designated female only lounge is located within the female only area. Assisted bathing facilities are available in both the male and female areas.
Mulberry 3. Redevelopments in 2015 facilitated the provision of male and female designated lounge areas
IASS: a fully designated female lounge was created from the conversion of a laundry store, as previously a multi-activity room for the ward was also serving as a female lounge. This arrangement was not providing the desired function of a designated female-only space.
6. Statement of Compliance
The Trust is in a position to declare and publish compliance on this basis. A draft statement for
Board Approval is included in this report.
7. Monitoring Ward Managers are responsible for ensuring that their staff are aware and have an understanding of this policy and take the necessary actions to ensure that patients admitted are accommodated appropriately. Ward managers will ensure that with regard to delivering same sex accommodation the allocation of bedrooms ensures that men and women are, as far as is clinical appropriate accommodated in separate areas/corridors of the wards. Ward/unit managers will ensure that bathrooms and toilets are appropriately marked with signage that is clear and that service users are orientated to facilities. Where gender specific lounges are required, the ward will ensure that this area is restricted to
single gender and not used for visitors.
Data on Same Sex breaches is collected every month as part of our statutory responsibilities of reporting and included in the Trust’s and CCGs performance dashboards. The Trust dashboard is reviewed with Directorates at the monthly Performance Review Executive (PRE) with any actions/shared learning being fed back to the Quality, Safety and Governance Committee
8. Recommended Next Steps
The Board is asked to note the contents of this report and approve the draft statement of
compliance for 2016/17.
The Board is further requested to advise Trust Communications of the need to publish this
declaration on the Trust’s public website without delay.
(DRAFT) Statement of Compliance: Eliminating Mixed Sex Accommodation 2016/17
CPFT is pleased to confirm that we are compliant with the Government’s requirement to eliminate
mixed-sex accommodation.
We have the necessary facilities, resources and culture to ensure that patients who are admitted to
wards on our sites will either have their own bedroom or only share the room/bay where they sleep with
members of the same sex, and same-sex toilets and bathrooms are close to their bed area. If our care
should fall short of the required standard, we will report it and act on it. CPFT monitors privacy and
dignity through incident reports, through PALS and complaints and through patient experience visits
and feedback. We will undertake an annual audit to ensure compliance with this standard, and we will
publish our statement of compliance on our website.
What does this mean for our patients?
Same-sex accommodation means that patients admitted to wards on our sites at CPFT can expect to
find the following:
The room/bay where your bed is will either be a single room or, if shared, have only patients of the
same gender as yourself
Your toilet and bathroom will be just for your gender, and will be close to your bed area
It is possible that there will be both males and female patients on the ward and you may have to
cross a ward corridor to reach your bathroom, but you will not have to walk through opposite-sex
areas
You may share some communal living spaces, such as lounges or dining rooms, and it is very likely
that you will see both male and female patients as you move around the ward.
In wards where there are both males and females, you will have a quiet room for use by your own
gender
Unless accompanied by nursing staff, visitors are expected to make use of communal day areas,
lounges or other visiting facilities rather than patient bedrooms
If you need additional help to use the toilet or take a bath (eg, you need a hoist or special bath) then
you may be taken to a “unisex” bathroom used by both males and females, but a member of staff
will be with you, and other patients will not be in the bathroom at the same time.
Our commitment to privacy and dignity
Every patient has the right to receive high-quality care that is safe, effective and respects their privacy
and dignity. CPFT is committed to providing every patient with same-sex accommodation, because it
helps to safeguard their privacy and dignity when they are often at their most vulnerable.
CPFT also ensures that our staff are supported and trained to understand what privacy and dignity
means in practice.
How will we measure how we are doing?
CPFT undertakes the national annual patient survey for the Care Quality Commission and uses the
results of this to inform our service development work. In addition, we undertake our own surveys that
include specific questions on same-sex accommodation and privacy and dignity issues, and have
developed a patient experience system so that patients and carers can give us feedback about privacy
and dignity issues and other care issues. This feedback system is available directly to patients pre- or
post-discharge, and also available through our website. We also make use of feedback through our
PALs and complaints service to improve patient experience. Reports on all patient experience
feedback and developments are made to our Quality, Safety and Governance Committee and to the
Board, and made available to our commissioners.
Privacy and dignity concerns - PALS

The ward has a women only lounge with signage (mental health and learning disability units only)
There is a process in place for allocating bedrooms for patients
Process and documentation in place for risk management in respect of potential mixed sex accommodation breaches
Additionally, patients should not need to pass through mixed communal areas or sleeping areas, toilet
or washing facilities used by the opposite gender in order to get to their own facilities
Guidance on Breaches
Acceptable justification (Not Breach)
In the event of a life threatening emergency, either on admission or due to a sudden deterioration in
a patient’s condition
Where a critically ill patient requires constant 1:1 nursing care e.g. in ICU (Within CPFT this would
relate to PICU environments)
Where a nurse must be physically present in the room/bay at all times (the nurse may have
responsibility for more than one patient. This would be unacceptable if staff shortages or skill mix
were the rationale
Where a short period of close patient observation is needed e.g. immediate post-anaesthetic
recovery, or where there is a high risk of adverse drug reactions
On the joint admission of couples or family groups
Unacceptable justification (Breach)
Placing a patient in mixed-sex accommodation for the convenience of medical, nursing or other
staff, or from a desire to group patients within a clinical specialty
Placing a patient in mixed -sex accommodation because of a shortage of staff or poor skill mix
Placing a patient in mixed- sex accommodation because of restrictions imposed by old or difficult
estate/buildings
Placing a patient in mixed-sex accommodation because of a shortage of beds
Placing a patient in mixed-sex accommodation because of predictable fluctuations in activity or
seasonal pressures
Placing a patient in mixed-sex accommodation because of a predictable non-clinical incident e.g. a
ward closure
Placing or leaving a patient in mixed-sex accommodation whilst waiting for assessment, treatment
or a clinical decision
Placing a patient in mixed-sex accommodation for regular but not constant observation

Emergency Preparedness: NHS Major Incident Statement of Readiness
1. Purpose
The purpose of this paper is to seek Board agreement of the Trust’s Major Incident Statement of Readiness as requested by NHS England in Publications Gateway Reference No.04494 dated 09 December 2015.
2. Background
In light of the tragic events in Paris, NHS England together with the Department of Health and other agencies are reviewing and learning from the incidents to ensure that Emergency Preparedness Resilience and Response procedures are appropriate. NHS England have request our support in ensuring CPFT remains in a position to respond appropriately to any threat. This request comes against the backdrop on a threat level that remains unchanged since August 2014. The threat assessment to the UK from international terrorism in the UK remains SEVERE. SEVERE means an attack is highly likely. We have completed the annual Emergency Preparedness Resilience and Response assurance process, and have incorporated the relevant elements from the refreshed NHS England Assurance Framework into our Critical Incident Plan and Corporate Business Continuity Plan. NHS England has asked for assurance from health providers on a number of points; those specifically relevant to CPFT are that:
• We review and test our cascade systems to ensure we can activate support from all staff groups in the event of a loss of the primary communications system.
• We have arrangements in place to ensure that staff can gain access to sites in circumstances where there may be disruption to the transport infrastructure, including public transport where appropriate, in an emergency.
• We have plans are in place to significantly increase support to our acute provider partners over a protracted period of time in response to an incident, including where patients may need to be supported for a period of time prior to transfer for definitive care; and
• We have considered how we can access specialist advice in relation to the management of patients with traumatic blast and ballistic injuries.
• Our responses to the above form part of a statement of readiness at a public board meeting in the very near future as part of the normal assurance process.
3. Statement of Readiness
CPFT undertook a full review of its compliance with the Emergency Preparedness Resilience and Response Core Standards and was awarded a ‘fully compliant’ grade at peer review in September 2015. We have a multi-tier robust call out system that all staff access. The dispersed nature of the CPFT estate is conducive with ‘alternate site working’ and the requirement to identify alternative work locations forms an integral part of Operational Business Continuity Planning completed at service delivery level and incorporated into the Trust’s Critical Incident Plan and Corporate Business Continuity Plan. The integrated way in which CPFT delivers care and works alongside our acute service providers maximises our ability to increase support in accepting patients from hospital for ongoing treatment in the community. Working so closely with our acute partners we are able to access specialist advice that enables our committed staff to provide the spectrum of community based physical and mental health care.
4. Action
The Board is requested to review and agree the Statement of Readiness.

BUSINESS & PERFORMANCE COMMITTEE REPORT – 25th February 2015
1. Purpose The purpose of this report is to highlight issues discussed at the February meeting of the Committee which it is felt should be drawn to the Board’s attention.
2. Summary of Issues Discussed
Business Planning 16/17 The committee received assurance that there is a process in place to meet the filing requirements for the 2016/17 plan. The draft operational plan submitted to Monitor on the 8th of February was shared with the Committee. The plan calls for a breakeven outturn, assuming a satisfactory outcome to commissioner negotiations and achievement of some tough CIP goals, of which £1.6M are still to be identified. Commissioning and Contracting update Negotiations are underway whilst standard contract templates are awaited from NHSE. The national proposal is expected to deliver a price uplift of 1.8% net of a 2% efficiency gain. Business cases have been submitted for increased funding for Adult Mental health services and for Children’s services. Discussions are at an early stage regarding Older People’s and how to retain the gains made through UCP. Commissioners are working towards resolution of negotiations by the end of March. Business Development update A number of BD initiatives were shared. The threat that CCS potentially may pose with regard to the tendering of Children’s services was identified. However, it was noted that plans to mitigate this possible risk/threat are under development. There was also disappointing news from the Far East that we did not win the smaller of two bids to provide consultancy for L&D and MH promotion, apparently because our response submitted did not meet requirements. Further feedback on the core reasons for the decision is still being pursued. This was a £9M contract. We await a final decision regarding the bigger contract by end of March amid changes in the HMC leadership. Other bids are under consideration but represent relatively low value. UCP Update The Trust will contribute to the payment of the commitment to suppliers as part of the UCP closure. This will impact on the cash position of the Trust (see Finance report). Some costs are still surfacing which is clearly a concern. Front line services continue to be delivered, funded now by the CCG. Capital and Infrastructure update The Committee were updated on capital spend which YTD stands at £977K below plan. The full year outlook is to spend £4.3M against an original budget of £6.0M Overspend in IT was offset by underspending in Estates. System change committee update The minutes of the recent committee were shared with the B&P Committee. A number of issues were highlighted in the Minutes including the shortfall on CIP’s of £900K which continues to be a major concern especially as only 50% of those delivered are recurrent, putting further pressure on next year’s plan. Work continues to find further savings.
Finance report Month 10 showed an £84K deficit vs a planned surplus of £17K. Revenue was £81K above plan in the month. Pay costs were £20K and Other Operating Expenses were £141K overspent, resulting in an £80K unfavourable position. Movements in depreciation, non-operating costs and finance costs moved the deficit to £101K overall in the month. Trust spend on Agency and Bank staff was £704K over budget for the month offset by under spends on permanent staffing of £684K. Recruitment remains an issue, along with higher levels of sickness. Year to date the deficit sits at £471K which is £433K adverse to plan. The Executive Team remain confident that a year-end breakeven position is still achievable despite the current shortfall and difficulty in delivering CIP’s. The impact of the UCP termination costs appears below the line at £3.7M. There is some concern that costs are continuing to be identified against UCP where we have little headroom if we are to avoid a FSRR of 1. Cash ended the month at £11.1M; below plan by £1.0M. This relates to the removal of some of the proceeds of the sale of Vinery Road that were included in the original plan but which will not now go ahead. Payment of some outstanding property costs following resolution with other NHS bodies has reduced the surplus previously recorded. Month 11 will see a further fall in cash as UCP costs are settled. Debt moved up in the month, particularly in the past 90 days category. This needs to be closely monitored. Payment is expected imminently from UCP and from the CCG to clear 50% of the amount. FSRR ended the month on plan at a rating of 3. There is little room to manoeuvre after the UCP costs to ensure that we achieve a 2 at year-end. Integrated Performance Report The IPR came complete with a breakdown of the variances, which gave the committee a clear view of the challenges by area. The measures were discussed. Frustration was expressed that January data was not available for the meeting. Estates Statutory Compliance Frustration was shared by the Executive at the hitherto failure of SERCO to fulfil their contractual obligation to provide a full survey, report and management of Estates statutory requirements. However, after some strong follow up with SERCO, Alison Manton (AD Estates) has managed to secure a report which was shared with the committee. There is clearly work to be done in the coming year to ensure that all standards are met. This programme will be managed with SERCO by the Estates team. The issue of Estates non-compliance by SERCO will be added to the contractual escalation discussions underway with them. Charitable Funds report This report was presented by Simon Burrows, NED, following some detailed investigation work by him into the relative underperformance of fundraising for the Trust. It concluded that CPFT are currently raising less than one third of the average raised by other NHS charities (£42K vs £127K). Clearly there are some ‘star performers’ who have well established brands and fundraising infrastructure. However, the gap with CPFT is too large to be explained other than through a lack of focus and resource. The Committee supported the move to look for resource to move fundraising for the charity forward, but were not convinced that recruitment of a CEO at an estimated cost of £80K/annum was warranted at this stage. It was agreed that an internal resource would be identified along with a plan to move things forward, which would be brought back to the Committee for further review.
Information Governance Quality Assurance report The Committee received the report and are assured that work is on track to deliver the required result on the Toolkit. The issue of information being sent to the wrong address/service user is being worked on to reduce it further through process improvement. Training continues, especially in the Integrated Care Directorate. Cycle of business Discussed and approved.

(£90k)
(£561k)
(£3.70m)
February deficit of £90k represents a negative variance of £115k against the
plan for Month 11. This deficit includes the repatriation into the Trust of staff that
had been working in UnitingCare, Qatar bid costs, and also the cost of the
MARS agreements.
The year to date overspend for the Trust is £561k, which represents an
adverse variance of £548k against plan.

Risk Rating (FSRR)
3 3 2
Financial Sustainability Risk Rating was introduced in the updated Risk
Assessment Framework in August. Performance is as per plan at the end of
M11. Details of this are provided in Appendix 8. The forecast included at
Appendix 1.3 identifies the FSRR impact.
Summary
of Key
Risks and
Issues
The overall financial position is behind plan by £548k at the end of Month 11. See Appendix 1 for further details.
The Trust is continuing to assess the financial implications for the year of the termination of the UnitingCare contract with the CCG in early
December. The Month 11 position recognises the costs of staff employed by CPFT who were seconded to UnitingCare who have now returned to
the Trust.
The forecast position identifies the range of issues included in the Settlement Agreement on the UnitingCare contract and the potential financial
impact of these. The work to fully quantify the financial impact of each element is nearing completion and it is still hoped that this will be
successfully concluded by the year end. A verbal update will be provided at the Board Meeting.
Excluding the impact of the UnitingCare contract issues, the Trust is continuing to forecast that an operational breakeven position for FY16 will be
delivered. The impact of the UnitingCare contract is considered in the high level forecast outturn included in Appendix 1.3. The most likely case is
a £3.70m deficit for the year. The impact on both the liquidity and I&E positions of the Trust as a result of this settlement just maintains a Financial
Sustainability Risk Rating for the year of 2. Monitor have been kept fully informed of this impact.

Appendix 1 - Income & Expenditure
Month 11 position for the Trust is a deficit of £90k, which is an adverse variance of £115k compared to the plan for the month. The in-month deficit includes the costs of the staff who had been working in UnitingCare but have returned back to the Trust on the termination of the UnitingCare contract with the CCG in early December. In addition the Month 11 position includes £280k of non-recurring costs related to agreed redundancies and the MARS scheme. This gives the Trust a deficit of £561k year to date.

Appendix 1.1 – Revenue Analysis
Community Services Income – this category includes the Community Services element of the ex-UnitingCare contract, other third party revenue associated with these services and the funding from C&P CCG for Community Children's Services in Peterborough. These arrangements are, by and large, based on Block Contracts. The positive variance in month reflects the continued positive contribution from physical health contracts with Acute NHS Trusts, which have been agreed for amounts higher than budgeted.
High Cost/Low Volume Cost & Volume Income – this category includes the variable income from Specialist Services commissioned by NHSE. Underperformance in M11 is related mainly to under occupancy in the CAMH Tier 4 In-patient Units (£23k) and Springbank Unit (£16k), and the Adults Eating Disorder unit (£3K).
Other Cost & Volume Income – this category includes income from Non Contract Activity which has an over recovery of £74k in M11 and income from the MoD contract which is above target by £36k in the month.
Block contract – C&P CCG –the in-month favourable variance is due to reducing the provision for underperformance against the PWS contract, based on the activity being delivered against this.
Other Clinical Income – the in-month adverse variance is due to the under recovery of two cost dependent services, Fens OPD Unit (£25k) and Liaison Psychiatry (£41k). As these are cost dependent, this is offset by underspends in related expenditure.
Education and Training – The adverse variance in the month includes under-recovery in Junior Doctor income (£47k), albeit this is offset by underspends in related pay costs, and reduction in SIFT income to reflect revised funding arrangements (£13k).
Other Income – The main favourable variance in the period is the release of previously deferred learning and development funding from HEE to offset costs (£120k).

Appendix 1.2 – Operating Expenses
Pay costs – Pay costs in Month 11 include additional costs of £280k related to agreed redundancies and the cost of the MARS scheme. Without these exceptional costs, overall pay costs would have been well within plan for the month. Notwithstanding, Agency costs continue at a level significantly above the Monitor cap and have increased by £180k from the spend in the previous month. The project in place reviewing the TSS processes to minimise the dependence on Agency staff across the Trust is continuing to address this issue.
Other Costs – the overspend includes the continuing overspend on Minor Works (£44k), Windows Licences (£27k) and telephony costs (£32k). Further spend on promotion of the Personal Wellbeing Service has been incurred in month (£16k). The Month 11 position also includes additional Vehicle Insurance costs for Lease Cars (£150k) and additional charges from CUHFT for catering in ward S3 (£26k).
Reserves – This includes the proportionate share of the CIP Risk Reserve and Earmarked Reserves for the year to date, in line with the Financial Plan submission to Monitor. The costs allocated to Reserves are non-recurring and this month relates to agency costs in Business Development.

Appendix 3 - Directorate Analysis
In-Month Variations
The clinical directorates are reporting a £103k favourable
variance against plan:
- Adult Directorate is showing an overspend of £25k in month.
This is due to the continuing use of Agency nursing costs in the
month in the inpatient wards, Agency Medical costs (£30k) and
increased costs in PWS to deliver targets (£28k). Continuing
savings from CRHT’s and Community team vacancies and
additional income from MoD beds partially offset this overspend.
- Children’s Directorate underspend continues, as a result of
incremental savings within the Health Visiting service. The rate of
the underspend is slowing due to the recruitment to posts funded
by the £600k additional investment given to the service in-year,
including Locum Medical costs.
- Specialist Directorate has a £16k underspend in the month.
This includes under-recovery of income of £44k against Specialist
Commissioning contracts, which is offsetting savings from
vacancies across a range of services.
- Integrated Care Directorate is reporting an underspend of
£103k. Continuing overspends against inpatient budgets (£120k)
due to the high levels of Agency staff being used to cover
vacancies and sickness is being offset by savings from vacancies
in the Community Teams (£170k). A reduction in SLA charges
(£60k) and non-pay costs for continence products (£30k) is also
helping to mitigate the inpatient cost pressures.
The Executive Portfolios are reporting an overspend of £418k in
the month. The Director of Finance overspend includes the
monthly impact of the previously reported cost pressure for
Microsoft licences (£27k) and Minor Works expenditure (£44k).
Following a detailed review of Lease car accruals and
prepayments this month it also includes additional related costs for
Lease Cars of £150k.
The Director of People Services underspend of £78k in month
includes the release of income from HEE previously deferred
(£151k). This is mitigating continuing overspends on Agency staff,
the costs of Bank staff within TSS and unachieved CIP. The
Medical Director overspend of £49k is due to the cost of Agency
Pharmacy staff, and an agreed increase in the SLA for the
provision of Pharmacy support from PSHFT. The Director of Social
Care & Integration underspend is related to the recharge of the
costs of the designated Social Care lead in Peterborough
previously charged here to the S75 Agreement.
The costs allocated to Reserves are non-recurring and, in-month,
are mainly related to Agency costs in Business Development.

Appendix 4 - Temporary Staffing Costs
The Temporary Staff Costs run rate highlights the spend on Bank and Agency across the Trust in both Clinical and Corporate areas. The Report includes the
performance against the Monitor set Target for Qualified Nurses Agency costs, which is 6% over the final 6 months. Actual in M11 was 9.8%, which is an increase
of 1% on the previous month. Usage remains higher than the planned trajectory. However, every effort continues to be made to deliver the Monitor Target.
Within the clinical services, there are several areas of non-recurrent service provision where
Agency is the preferred method of delivery and where funding from commissioners is based on
this assumption. The overall amount spent on Temporary staffing in month 11 represents 11.7%
of the Trust’s total Pay Costs.
Agency costs include costs of Agency staff within R&D which are reported against
R&D Expenditure in the Operating Costs analysis in App1.2.

Appendix 5 – Summarised Statement of
Financial Position and Cash Flow
Cash performance is in line with plan at Month 11. This is after making a net cash payment to UnitingCare of £2.7m as the initial payment under the
settlement agreement.
The Trusts overall Debtor balance has reduced by £1.9m in Month 11 which has helped offset the initial UnitingCare payment.
The plan continues to include sale proceeds of £2.6m from Vinery Road, which will no longer be realised this year. The necessary amendment to
the plan is currently in the process of being agreed with Monitor. The capital plan has been reduced to offset this impact in year.

Appendix 7 - Capital Expenditure
At the end of Month 11 the Capital Plan is underspent by
£1.316m.
The Capital Plan is monitored in detail by the Capital and
Infrastructure Committee to ensure the overall spend
forecast is managed within the level of funding available.
The Capital Plan in FY16 was based on utilising an
element of the disposal proceeds from the sale of Vinery
Road to fund the spend. The Trust has now decided that
Vinery Road will not be disposed of this year. As a result,
the capital spend for the year has been revised to ensure
that it fits within the revised funding envelope. This is
reflected in the forecast figure which has been reviewed
and agreed at the Capital & Infrastructure Group, to ensure
there is no significant impact on staff, patients and services
as a result of the agreed reduction in spend.
Additionally, Monitor has approved and actioned a £0.5m
transfer from capital to revenue to help mitigate the impact
of the UnitingCare settlement. This means that the capital
spend for the year can not exceed £4.3m. Capital spend is
being closely monitored to ensure that only essential spend
is being undertaken until the end of March.

Integrated Performance Report – Feb 2016
1. Purpose This paper summarises the CPFT performance information, as present on the Trust Integrated Performance Report. Data is reported from February 2016, which has passed through the internal Performance Review Executive (PRE) meetings with the clinical services, but due to timing of meeting has not yet been presented to the Business and Performance and Quality, Safety and Governance Committees. Using February data is hoped to provide the Board with recent relevant performance information, as December data was the latest data presented to the committees. The purpose of this report is to contextualise some of the key performance issues reported in for February 2016.
2. Background The Integrated Performance Report, which accompanies this paper, is the mechanism that the Trust uses to monitor and manage directorates on various key performance indicators during the monthly reporting cycle. Directorate data, aggregated up to the Trust wide position is reported widely, with the information outlined below used to highlight any areas of concern within the consolidated Trust data.
3. Quality – Clinical Effectiveness Indicator 3.1 CAMHS Choice Waiting List
Indicators Dec 15 Jan 16 Feb 16 Target
CAMHS Choice Waiting List >18 weeks 23.5% (54)
0.0% 0.8% (1)
0%
The measure reporting CAMHS Choice Waiting List shows the proportion of children waiting over 18
weeks for an assessment. Due to a discrepancy in capacity and demand in 2015, the performance
against measure peaked in August for those on the list waiting over 18 weeks (44%(n=131)). Since
this time, commissioner funding has increased, and with the extra capacity, the proportion of waiters
over 18 weeks has dropped to only one patient. Additionally, the total on the waiting list has also
dropped from 358 in August to 166 at the end of February. Of these remaining waiters, 74% have
waited within 0-6 weeks and of the 11 waiters over 12 weeks, appointments are scheduled for all.
The planning and performance by the clinical services has addressed this issue within the timescale
communicated with commissioners.
3.2 % Patient with a HoNOS Score
Indicators Dec 15 Jan 16 Feb 16 Target
% Patients with a HoNOS Score 95.4% 94.7% 94.3%
=>95%
This metric monitors the proportion of active caseload within in scope services that have a
completed Mental Health Clustering Assessment recorded. This measure is important due to the
onset of Monitor guidance based on payment by cluster which will be introduced as the contractual
payment mechanism from FY17/18. Performance has decreased during January and February,
following a sustained achievement of target for preceding 3 months. Similar trends are reported for
cluster assessments within review period, with a small decrease in performance in February.
Through the PRE performance cycle, and with the launch of the Clinical Dashboard which
demonstrates to each clinician who on their caseload is missing a cluster assessment, it is expected
that performance will return to above target in March.
3.3 Diagnosis Recording
Indicators Dec 15 Jan 16 Feb 16 Target
Diagnosis recorded (% of Current referrals where Diagnosis recorded)
58.2% 58.4% 57.9%
=>95%
Diagnosis continues to prove a challenging area for some directorates in CPFT mental health
services. Areas of better performance does exist such as within the Specialist (84.8%) and the
Integrated Care directorate (77.8%).
Guidance, training and restating the requirement continues to be reiterated to the clinical services.
The Clinical Dashboard mentioned above also includes the Diagnosis completion rates for each
individual mental health clinician, which is hoped will then enable clinical service managers to
address this ongoing problem.
From March, the Clinical Dashboard now reports both unconfirmed and confirmed diagnoses, to
assist clinicians in meeting this target, by simplifying the processes within the RiO clinical system.
4. Quality – Patient Safety Indicators
4.1 CPA 7 Day Follow Up
Indicators Dec 15 Jan 16 Feb 16 Target
CPA 7 Day Follow Up 94.9% 95.3% 94.4% >95%
This patient safety measure is to support people through the transition from inpatient care back into
community settings. This national Monitor target reports the number of people discharged from an
inpatient setting, who were then subsequently followed up by the Trust within seven days of
discharge.
The performance in February relating to this target has deteriorated. Despite numerous attempts 6
discharges from inpatient spells were unable to be followed up within the required period. These
discharges were from a range of Adult wards, suggesting isolated incidents rather than systemic
problems. This performance and the process will be reviewed in the coming months, and the
performance in March to date has seen an increase in performance. The combined Quarter 4 return
to Monitor is expected to be above the target.
4.2 Safety Thermometer
Indicators Dec 15 Jan 16 Feb 16 Target
Safety Thermometer 93.6% 92.1% 94.0% >95%
Performance relating to harm free care has been below target for the third month in succession. The
reduction in performance for February relates to the four physical health services wards at Trafford,
Welney, Lord Byron and Peterborough ICU wards and the Integrated Care district nurse services.
The Safety Thermometer assessments check whether patients have pressure ulcers, old or new
UTIs, catheters, VTEs or any harmful or non-harmful falls for any inpatient or district nursing
services. Each collection day samples around 1000 patients, and the drop in performance presented
above reflects the increased physical health patients the Trust now cares for.
4.3 % Vacancy rate
Indicators Dec 15 Jan 16 Feb 16 Target
% Vacancy Rate 11.3% 10.6% 11.3% <10%
Trustwide vacancy rates have exceeded target again in February.
There are a high volume of vacancies for Integrated Care directorate but a recruitment specialist is
being brought in to deal with these posts. 53 candidates have been appointed and sent conditional
offers, and once these candidates have started the vacancy rate will reduce. All vacancies for this
directorate including Neighbourhood Teams are now being fed through the Vacancy control Process
this will allow managers to manage their vacancies and to highlight to HR where additional support
is required.
Other initiatives that are expected to have a positive result regarding vacancies include an open day
on the 21st December with a number of Band 5 and 6 nursing posts within the mental health older
people teams being recruited to. Within Adults directorate, the Vanguard recruitment process is now
underway.
4.4 % Sickness rate
Indicators Dec 15 Jan 16 Feb 16 Target
% Sickness Rate 6.2% 5.8% 6.0%
<4.35%
February reports an increase in CPFT sickness rate, as is expected seasonally. Through the PRE
process, the sickness rate of each directorate is monitored, with a wide range of compliance
reported. Alll directorates exceeded the target this month, with the Integrated Care directorate faring
worse, with sickness rates for February is 6.9%.
Seasonally, this pattern repeated last financial year, with February 2015 sickness rate reported
slightly lower at 5.1%.
4.5 % Spend Temporary Staffing – Agency
Indicators
Dec 15 Jan 16 Feb 16
Target
% Spend Temporary Staffing- Agency 7.6% 7.5% 8.1%
<=6%
Agency spend across the trust remains above the target set by Monitor of 6%. During the December
cycle of PREs, the first directorate breakdowns of this information was provided, with all directorates
except Specialist being challenged by this target.
A series of team based reports are being developed to enable the effective performance
management of this issue. More detail can be found within the Finance report to the Board.
4.6 Overall Mandatory Training Compliance
Indicators Dec 15 Jan 16 Feb 16 Target
% Compliance Overall Mandatory Training 91.8% 92.8% 93.6%
=>95%
Existing issues remain relating to mandatory training compliance. Through PREs, the themes for
non compliance continue to relate to timeliness and accuracy of data, cancellations of classroom
based training, and lack of transparency about training requirements. Within the data, compliance
around Fire Safety and Infection Control training suggests areas of concerns, which are being
addressed via the PRE cycle.
Services are supported with monthly named reports of people out of compliance, and people who
are approaching non-compliance. However, clearly these reports are not effectively assisting and a
review needs to be undertaken to streamline and simplify information processing.
With the pending launch of the Totara Learning Management System in April, the management of
mandatory training compliance is expected to become a much more streamlined and therefore
effective process.

Lead Director: Scott Haldane, Director of Finance
Executive Summary: This report presents key items discussed at the Charitable Funds Committee held 10th March 2016.

CHARITABLE FUNDS COMMITTEE REPORT - MARCH 2016
1.0 INTRODUCTION
Key items to be drawn to the Board's attention, and as discussed at the Committees March meeting,
are summarised below.
2.0 ITEMS DISCUSSED
Investment Funds
The Committee received a summary report of the charity's financial performance to January 2016.
Investment yield - actual versus potential - was an area discussed requiring review given reported
(under) performance.
The Director of Finance undertook to update the Committee on progress with this review subject to
finalisation of an overall Investment Strategy.
Bids for Funding
Three proposals requesting funding were reviewed and discussed.
The Committee approved total funding of £10.1k covering two proposals; Nurses Day Conference
(refreshments) and Recovery college (peer employment training).
A third proposal from the Workforce Development Team (Long Service Awards as attached) was
discussed in further detail. Key issues for the Committee in discussion:
(I) Appropriate for charitable funding (?)
(II) Funds would finance a past event
(III) Lack of clarity on whether verbal approval was previously given
The Committee agreed the proposal should be issued to the full CPFT board, as corporate trustee
for the charity, for final approval.
Future Direction
The Committee devoted the second half of the meeting to discussing future development of the
charity, particularly relating to fundraising and administrative support.
The Director Finance undertook to investigate with colleagues through the System Change
Committee and other routes and report back to the committee on options to secure fund-raising
resource.
3.0 SUMMARY AND CONCLUSIONS
The Board is asked to note the contents of this report and approve the Workforce Development Teams
Long Service Awards proposal.
APPENDIX 1 – Long Service Awards Application
Application for CPFT Charitable Funds
1. Project Summary (maximum 50 words)
Long Service Awards
The Trust recognises the Long Service of staff, who’ve worked for the NHS for 25 years, 30 years, 35 years and 40
years.
The 30 and 40 years service awards are for those staff who TUPE’d from CCS for the Integrated Care directorate,
they are therefore on a different Policy than other staff. This will be harmonised in future.
2. Why is there a need for your project?
To recognise and say thank you to staff for their contribution and loyalty to the NHS.
3. Who will benefit from your project?
Staff who meet the criteria.
4. How many people will benefit from your project?
114 Staff Members who meet the criteria.
5. Describe your project and show how it will address the need identified above.
This will be a celebration event held at Burgess Hall, St Ives, where staff will be awarded with a certificate and
vouchers to say thank you. They are invited to bring a guest to share this experience with them. The Chief Executive
and Chair will host the event and lunch will enable all recipients the opportunity to share stories and catch up with
colleagues possibly not seen for years. The costs associated with the event are:
Event Cost (inc. venue and certificates) £ 3,216
Award Cost (Vouchers for 114 people) £ 10,973
Total £ 14,189
This is the sum which we are requesting from the Charitable Funds Committee.
6. What are the main outcomes expected from your project?
Increased Staff Engagement
Staff Retention
Improved Service User Experience
Improved Networking
7. How does your project link with national, regional or local priorities?
Awarding and recognising staff is something which forms part of the Organisational Development Strategy. The Long
Service Awards is the longest running staff reward that the Trust has given out. The Trust did not run the event in
2014, and so this awards ceremony is capturing all those due an award for 2014 and 2015, including the staff using
the CCS policy. By running the event as soon as possibly under the two current schemes, the Trust can then develop
a new harmonised policy for long service / loyalty awards which will form part of the Trust’s Rewards Strategy.
8. How will the work of your project be a catalyst for change?
This is an annual event, with guidelines for attainment that staff can work towards.
9. How will the work initiated by your project be sustained after the end of the funding period? (If the funding
requested is for one-off activity, will it have any lasting effects?)
This is an annual event and will form part of the Trust’s Rewards Strategy which is currently being developed as part
of the new Workforce Strategy.
10. How have you involved people who use mental health services in the development of your project and how
will they contribute to its delivery?
n/a
11. What support do you have for your project from senior management within your organisation and/or, where
appropriate, other organisations with an interest in the proposed activity?
The Senior Management fully support the Long Service Awards. The plan for this event has been signed off by the
Workforce Executive.
12. Describe the governance and project-management arrangements proposed for your project.
The HR Team are responsible for the project management of the event. Continuous Service is taken from the
Electronic Staff Record (ESR), some employee records do not have their full NHS Service on the ESR, so are able to
be nominated and provide evidence of service to their manager, who completes the nomination. All individuals are
checked against previous recipients to ensure they have not already received an award. A project plan has been
followed to ensure the event runs on budget. The budget has been monitored by the Workforce Executive.
13. How will you monitor the progress of your project towards achieving its proposed outcomes? Indicate the
main milestones and stages at which they should be reached.
This will form part of the OD Strategy outcomes. The Pulse Survey and Staff Survey enable us to monitor Staff
Engagement.
14. How will you evaluate the success of your project in achieving its proposed outcomes?
Feedback from the event.
15. How will you share the learning from your project?
Any learning will support in developing the next Long Service Awards.
16. What other sources of funding (including in-kind contributions) will help to meet the costs of your project?
None

Risk Assurance Framework
1. Introduction The following procedure details proposed arrangements for managing risk and will be used in conjunction with the wider Risk Management Strategy.
2. Risk Definition
Strategic Risks:
The ‘Top 6’ organisational risks which have the greatest impact on the achievement of the organisational strategic objectives.
Known as the Board Assurance Framework (BAF).
Agreed by the Trust Board on an annual basis.
Reviewed by the Trust Board on a bi-monthly rolling cycle.
Reviewed by The Executive, as part of the wider Corporate Risk Register review, on a monthly basis.
The BAF is maintained by the Head of Risk.
Corporate Risks:
Risks that threaten delivery of the Trusts strategic objectives.
Known as the Corporate Risk Register (CRR).
Apply to the organisation as a whole.
Reside on Directorate risk registers and have a residual risk score of 15+.
Reviewed and updated on a monthly basis by the Executive Team.
Reviewed by Audit and Assurance at each quarterly meeting
Top 10 quality risks pulled from corporate risk register go to QSG bi-monthly
Top 10 business pulled from corporate risk register go to B+P bi-monthly
The Corporate Risk Register is maintained by the Head of Risk.
Directorate Risks:
Risks that threaten delivery of the Directorate and operational objectives.
Are applicable to the Directorate.
Reside on Directorate Risk Registers and have a residual risk score of 12+.
Reviewed and updated on a monthly basis by the General Manager, Clinical Director and Head of Nursing.
Scrutinised at PRE.

Local Team Risks:
Risks that threaten operational delivery and are applicable to a specific team.
Reside on local Team Risk Registers and have a residual risk score of up to 8.
Reviews and updated on a monthly basis by the Team Manager.
3. Roles and Responsibilities
There are three main roles for managing risk:
Risk Assessor / Identifier:
The person who identifies a risk and completes the ‘Risk Assessment Form’ in Datix.
Risk Owner:
The person who is ultimately responsible for managing and mitigating the risk.
For Corporate Risks, this is typically an Executive Director.
For Directorate Risks, the risk owner will be the General Manager, Clinical Director
and/or Head of Nursing.
For Operational Risks, the risk owner will be the Service Manager.
For Local Team Risks, the risk owner will be the Ward/Team Manager.
Action Owner:
The person who has delegated responsibility to complete actions that will reduce
the consequence and/or likelihood of risk occurring.
4. Applying the Risk Appetite The organisational risk appetite will determine the extent to which the risk is acceptable or unacceptable, and should be applied to:
The top 6 Strategic Risks (Board Assurance Framework); All risks with a net score of 15+; Risk which apply to the whole organisation.
The ‘Risk Appetite’ will be based on a sliding scale from ‘None’ to ‘Significant’ appetite and will be set by the Trust Board on at the beginning of each financial year.
None
Low
Moderate
High
Significant
Avoidance of risk is a key objective
Not willing to accept, except in very exceptional circumstances
Willing to accept risks in certain circumstances
Willing to accept risks
Accepts potential risks when embarking on opportunities
Five categories of risk will be explored as part of the appetite review process, to
determine the Trust’s appetite for each type of risk the organisation may face:
Quality and Safety
Workforce
Technology and Estate
Financial Strategy: Profit and Loss / Commercial
Business / Reputation.
Given that risk levels vary and therefore risk tolerances differ across each clinical Directorate, Senior Management Teams have been asked to discuss the risk appetite and indicate their individual threshold of acceptability specific to their client group/s. The agreed risk appetite will then be applied at Directorate level during the risk review and escalation process.
5. Risk Review
The organisational risk appetite will determine the extent to which the risk is acceptable. Trust Board The Board will view the top 6 strategic risks (also known as the Board Assurance Framework) at each meeting.
The Executive Team The Corporate Risk Register (15+), including the top 6 Strategic Risks, and any other risk which applies to the whole organisation, will be managed on behalf of the Trust Board by the Executive Team and reviewed by the Executive on a monthly basis.
Audit and Assurance Committee The Audit and Assurance Committee will receive a report on the entire Corporate Risk Register at each meeting (quarterly). Quality, Safety and Governance Committee The Quality, Safety and Governance Committee will receive a movement report on the top ten quality and safety risks at each meeting.
Business and Performance Committee The Business and Performance Committee will receive a movement report on the top ten business risks at each meeting.
Directorate Management Team (DMT) The DMT will review and update the Directorate Risk Register on a monthly basis, escalating any risk with a residual risk score of 12 or above for review at Performance, Risk and Executive (PRE) meetings.
Sub-Committees (Clinical Governance and Patient Safety, Infrastructure Committee etc) Each sub-committee / working group will receive a report of all relevant risks at each meeting.
The Chair of the Committee must ensure the risk register is a standing agenda item and allocated time is held for review and discussion at each meeting.
Each Committee Administrator is responsible for running a Datix risk report of respective risks and submitting as part of the meeting papers.
