1. Introduction
The purpose of this report is to provide the Quality Committees in Common with:
An overview of complaints received by SHCCGs during 2018/19
An overview of GP quality alerts and themes and actions resulting from these
An overview of the national Maternity Services survey, Community Mental Health
survey and NHS Staff survey findings for Surrey Heartlands providers
Provider patient experience data and themes are reported and triangulated with clinical
effectiveness and safety metrics through the provider assurance reporting dashboard
process and areas of concern are monitored and managed through the Clinical Quality
Review Meetings and supported by contractual activity where appropriate.
2. SHCCGs Complaints
2.1 Introduction
Since April 2018, complaints received by the three CCGs in Surrey Heartlands – Guildford
and Waverley, North West Surrey and Surrey Downs – have been managed within the
Communications and Corporate Affairs Directorate. The Head of Engagement, Diversity
and Inclusion is the designated Complaints Manager.
The CCGs are regulated under the Local Authority Social Services and National Health
Service Complaints (England) Regulations 2009. Each CCG has a duty to handle
complaints about:
(i) the exercise of its functions; or
(ii) the exercise of any function discharged or to be discharged by it under
arrangements made between it and a local authority under section 75 of the 2006
Act in relation to the exercise of the health-related functions of a local authority
The majority of complaints received by the CCGs are redirected to other bodies, mainly
provider organisations. These regulations stipulate that when it appears to the first body
(in this case, one of the three CCGs) that the complaint, if it had been made to another
responsible body (“the second body”), would be a complaint which would fall to be
handled in accordance with these Regulations by the second body; and the first body
sends the complaint to the second body, the complainant is deemed to have made the
complaint to the second body under these Regulations.
This summary of complaints, received between April 2018 and March 2019, will consider
how well the CCGs have fulfilled their duties under key parts of the above regulations as
well as consider the subjects of complaints and the learning that the CCGs have applied.

Patient Experience Report – May 2019 Page 4 of 26
This report does not include complaints received by the CCGs regarding Adult Continuing
Health Care provision. These are reported separately by the CHC Team.
2.2 Complaints Policy and Procedures
A Surrey Heartlands CCGs’ Complaints Policy was approved by the Quality Committees
in Common in October 2018. This aligns the processes for handling complaints across
the three CCGs.
The complaints function is delivered by three Patient Experience Coordinators – one
based in each CCG – overseen by the Head of Engagement, Diversity and Inclusion. This
‘team within a team’ interfaces with the CHC Relationship Manager, who manages
complaints and enquiries regarding adult continuing health care.
2.3 Quantitative analysis
Over the year 2018/19 the three CCGs received 230 complaints. Surrey Downs (SD)
CCG received marginally more complaints than Guildford and Waverley (GW) and North
West Surrey (NWS) CCGs.
Chart 1
Of the 230 complaints received by the CCGs, 66 (29%) were directly related to their
commissioning functions, with the majority related to the commissioning function of SD
CCG.

Chart 2
Complaints that are received by the CCGs but are not related to their own
commissioning functions are redirected to the responsible organisation for them to
investigate according to their own complaints policy and procedure. In the cases
whereby a complaint is against two or more external organisations, the CCGs offer to
coordinate between organisations to produce a single response. This is termed a
‘Shared’ complaint in Chart 3 below.
In 2018/19, 164 complaints were either redirected (n=136) or a single response was
coordinated by the Patient Experience Coordinators (n= 28). Coordinated, single
responses are more likely to take longer to produce as the CCGs must rely on other
organisations investigating and responding in a timely manner. In all situations, the
PECs maintain regular contact with complainants.

Patient Experience Report – May 2019 Page 6 of 26
As can be seen above, just under a third of complaints received by the CCGs relate to
patient experience in primary care followed by care that spans a number of
organisations and then large acute and mental health trusts. See section 4 below for
qualitative details regarding all complaints.
2.4 Deadlines for acknowledging and responding to complaints
In bringing together the three different systems in place in the three CCGs to form a
single complaints team, it has not been possible to align the reporting on the following
targets:
Sending a written acknowledgement to complainants within three working days of
receipt
Responding to complaints regarding the CCGs’ commissioning responsibilities
within 25 working days of receipt
o The deadline for responses to complaints varied across the three
organisations (from 20 to 25 working days).
As detailed at the end of this report, it will be possible to report on the above in 2019/20
as all complaints are now logged, since 1 April 2019, on Datix. Anecdotally,
acknowledgements were sent to the vast majority of complainants within three working
days of receipt. However, there was variable performance in terms of meeting the
deadline to respond to complainants within 20 or 25 working days. The majority of
delayed responses are in relation to shared complaints, as discussed above. There
have been no complaints from complainants about any delays to responses which in
part is felt to be due to the PECs maintaining contact with them and ensuring they are
kept updated on progress with their complaint.
2.5 Qualitative analysis
Themes
Complaints cover a very broad range of themes, as would be expected given the very
broad range of services that each CCG commissions. All complaints have been themed
using the Health and Social Care Data Collection categories for quarterly complaints
returns from all NHS organisations, as detailed below:
o Access to treatment or drugs
(including decisions made by
Commissioners)
o Admissions, discharge and transfers
excluding delayed discharge due to
absence of care package
o Appointments including delays and
cancellations
o Commissioning Services
o Communications
o Consent to treatment
o End of Life Care

Service area
Complaints into the three CCGs have been analysed to highlight key service areas and
key themes in the charts that follow.
It can be seen that complaints cover a wide range of service areas. However, 50% of
complaints concerned only six service areas:
o Primary care
o Mental health care - adults
o Audiology (hearing service)
o Medicines management
o Acute care
o Dermatology
The remaining 113 complaints covered 40 different service areas. The top four service
areas have been analysed to illustrate key learning.
Primary care
NHS England is the body responsible for investigating complaints about primary care
services should complainants not wish to complain directly to the practice itself. The
proportion of complaints being submitted to the CCGs this year is higher than in previous
years; however, due to this being the first year when complaints are aligned, it is not
possible to say whether this is a trend.
![Page 9: Patient Experience Report...Patient Experience Report – May 2019 Page 10 of 26 Theme - mental health care - adults Number Working together as the Surrey Heartlands Clinical Commissioning](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022060906/60a11d3e0dff3877175a4bc5/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)

It is recommended that information regarding how to complain about care and treatment
in primary care is more clearly available on the websites and in the waiting rooms of all
member practices. It is a requirement for all providers to enable patients and carers to
make complaints regarding their service and this includes primary care. A contractual
audit of websites is being carried out by the Primary Care Contracting Team in 2019/20
and includes a parameter regarding information about how to submit a complaint being
visible. This will improve the overall handling of complaints in reducing handovers
between organisations.
A breakdown of themes relating to primary care shows that values and behaviours of staff
and communications account for the majority of complaints as opposed to clinical or
diagnostic issues.
Theme Number
Values & Behaviours (Staff) 12
Communications 8
Other 7
Appointments including delays and cancellations 6
Access to treatment or drugs (including decisions made by Commissioners)
5
Privacy, dignity and wellbeing 2
Trust Administration 2
Consent to treatment 1
Patient Care including Nutrition / Hydration 1
Reasons for poor values, behaviours and communications can’t be discerned as these
complaints were redirected to the GP practices for handling.
Mental health care – adults
Surrey and Borders Partnership NHS Foundation Trust (SABP) is the main provider of
adult NHS mental health services in Surrey. Several smaller organisations provide
primary psychological therapies (IAPT) whilst Surrey County Council commissions a
range of universal emotional wellbeing and mental health support services.
16 of the 19 complaints received were redirected to SABP for handling. The remaining
three were redirected to smaller providers. The themes related to these complaints were
as follows:

Audiology (hearing services)
In July 2018, SD CCG commissioned a new hearing assessment service for adults.
Shortly afterwards, the CCG began to receive complaints from patients about difficulties
they were experiencing in getting routine, follow-up care for their hearing impairment e.g.
hearing aid repairs.
15 complaints were received in total and it became apparent following internal
investigation that the contract that had been issued via the Any Qualified Provider model,
had not included follow-up care within its service specification for providers. Action was
taken by the Planned Care commissioning team in Surrey Downs to secure the follow-up
clinics and repairs for existing patients and patients calling the CCG with the same
problems were redirected to the Referral Support Service where appointments were
arranged.
Although small in number, these 15 complaints accounted for a large proportion of time
in handling and working out what had gone wrong with the commissioning model. There
is a great deal of learning that has been taken on board by the commissioning team to
inform future procurements that should ensure all patients are considered when
developing new models of care.
At the same time, the Local Medical Committee advised GP practices that micro-suction
(or ear syringing) was not included as an essential primary care service in the GMS GP
contract. Following the issuing of this advice, the CCGs received five complaints from
patients and relatives. Some of these patients were also affected by the contractual
change described above.
Both these themes were reported to the relevant planned care and primary care
commissioning teams to inform future commissioning.

Medicines management
11 of the 13 complaints regarding medicines were related to whether or not a particular
medication was available on prescription or not. Three complaints related to access to
Freestyle Libre, a new technology for people with type 1 diabetes. There was no
commonality to the remaining complaints. All complaints were handled by the CCGs’
Medicines Optimisation teams of pharmacists and pharmacy technicians.
Decisions regarding the prescribing status of different medicines across Surrey’s CCGs
are overseen by a Surrey-wide committee and published on the Surrey Prescribing
Advisory Database (PAD). This has proven to be a helpful resource for these complaints.
Being able to direct patients and complainants to a website that shows the transparency
of the decision-making is very helpful and should be replicated in other areas e.g.
publishing details of QIPP programmes.
2.6 Parliamentary and Health Services Ombudsman (PHSO)
No complaints handled by the CCGs in 2018/19 were referred to the PHSO.
2.7 Future complaints handling
All complaints received by the three CCGs since 1 April 2019 are being logged onto the
Datix software system using the Complaints module following training of the complaints
team. This will make analysis of complaints much simpler in 2019/20. It is therefore
recommended that summaries of complaints be included in the six monthly Patient
Experience report.
As quality surveillance is explored at the Integrated Care System level, there is much that
could be gained by developing a system-wide complaints surveillance approach. CCGs
only receive a proportion of overall complaints about care and treatment in Surrey
Heartlands. It is recommended that complaints monitoring is included in the planned
changes to quality surveillance at the ICS level.

3. GP Quality Alerts
3.1 Guildford and Waverley CCG
The Guildford and Waverley quality portal is managed by the Surrey Heartlands
CCGs Quality (safety) team. A summary of findings from the alerts received during
Quarter 3 and Quarter 4 (October 2018 – March 2019) is outlined below and some
additional charts are provided in appendix 1.
Key points to note from Q3 and Q4 2018/19
A total of 40 alerts were received through the quality portal.
Cranleigh Medical Practice submitted the most alerts (12), followed by
Binscombe Medical Centre (5).
There were 10 quality alerts received from GP’s outside of G&WCCG. The
majority of the out of area alerts originate from GP’s within the Hampshire &
Isle of Wight Partnership of Clinical Commissioning Groups.
The majority of alerts received relate to the Royal Surrey County Hospital
(RSCH).
Issues relating to ‘referrals’ (30%) were raised most often, followed by ‘other’
(25%).

Many of the alerts received relate to individual patient queries, however the following
table presents a summary of alerts that may influence general patient experience.
Provider Description of Issue Action Taken
RSCH Delay in GP receiving patient’s clinic letter. Patent attended clinic on 11th September 18 but letter not typed until 19th October 18.
RSCH confirmed that the delay was due to staff shortages. However, they have advised that they are working hard to address issues and reduce delays and have already made significant improvements.
RSCH GP concerned that outpatient phlebotomy service are displaying posters that inform patients that they can go to their GP surgeries to have blood tests.
The phlebotomy service confirmed that they do not routinely redirect outpatients to GP services. They did however create the poster to provide alternative drop-in-service options for GP patients and to try and reduce long wait times for the service. The service has now removed the poster and confirmed that they are working hard to improve the service and have recently extended opening times and opened a second additional phlebotomy room. However despite this, they are still experiencing long waits and poor patient experience. On further discussion with the phlebotomy service, they have confirmed that they are setting up a project to look at how the RSCH delivers phlebotomy services and are currently in the process of arranging the first set of meetings.
RSCH Patient attended GP surgery for removal of cannula which had not been removed on discharge from hospital.
Following this alert the RSCH have reinforced the use of day of discharge checklist in order to ensure processes and checks on discharge are not missed. This serves as a prompt for staff and at the same time provides them with supporting documentation on discharge.

SABPT GP raising concern regarding the rising waiting list times for the ADHD service for adults.
The current waiting time is around 20 months. To reduce the waiting list SABPT have – • Recruited to a band 6 health facilitator role to monitor annual reviews. • Recruited to a consultant for 2 days in Surrey to complete NPA’s and follow ups. • Revised the pathways into the service and screening process to reduce the wait time for people with previous diagnosis who just need a review and medication reintroduced. • Started transition clinics for young people who were open to CAMHS along with CAMHS colleagues to reduce their wait time and provide a more seamless transition into adult services. • The Lead Consultant Psychiatrist has offered some advice and guidance sessions to GP’s to prevent the need for a referral. • Utilised opt in letters which offer choice of appointment time and location to reduce the DNA rate and therefore the waiting time by enabling them to discharge people who do not wish to take up an appointment.
RSCH GP concerned that RSCH outpatient booking line may be informing patients that if they require a quicker appointment, they will need to contact their GP to request this, giving the patient false expectations.
RSCH have confirmed that they have reiterated to the outpatient booking team that under no circumstances should they inform the patient that the GP can book quicker appointments. The patient should only contact the GP to expedite the appointment if they feel it is more urgent than previously discussed.

3.2 North West Surrey CCG
In NWSCCG, GPs use ‘Talk to Us’ a web based form that is completed online. The
form generates an email which is sent to a NWSCCG email inbox which was
previously monitored by the Customer Care Team at the CCG. From March 2019 the
Quality (safety) team have taken over management of the process.
A summary of findings from the alerts received during Quarter 3 and Quarter 4,
2018/19 is outlined below and some additional charts are provided in appendix 2.
Key points to note from Q3 and Q4 2018/19
A total of 27 alerts were received through ‘Talk to Us’.
Shepperton Medical Practice submitted the most alerts (18), followed by
Chobham and West End Surgeries (3).
The majority of alerts received relate to Ashford and St. Peter's Hospitals NHS
Foundation Trust (ASPH).
Issues relating to ‘admin’ (10) were raised most often, followed by ‘referrals’
(5).
Many of the alerts received relate to individual patient queries, however the following
table presents a summary of alerts that may influence general patient experience.
Provider Description of Issue Action Taken
Care Home
Care home informed GP that their nurses are not trained to give flu jabs. GP requested guidance on the matter as other care homes within their area provide flu jabs.
Surrey Heartlands Medicines Management team responded to confirm that the GP practice is responsible for ensuring their eligible patients receive the flu vaccine. However, they may use other providers to achieve this but the clinical responsibility would remain with the practice. If the practice wishes to sub contract this service, they need to ensure staff have the necessary skills and training in place. This would not be a service commissioned by the CCG.
ASPH GP concerned that some midwives who are arranging blood tests for patients are selecting GPs who have previously retired from the practice, consequently results are being sent to dormant inboxes.
Surrey Heartlands Primary Care team have been asked to look into this to ensure that GPs who have left practices have their inboxes deactivated so that results cannot be sent to them.

3.3 Surrey Downs CCG
The process at Surrey Downs CCG involves GPs completing a Quality Alert Form
which is emailed via nhs.net directly to the relevant Trust/provider, as opposed to
going through the CCG. Epsom and St Helier (ESTH) report on the alerts they have
received through their Clinical Quality Review Meetings. The latest reports available
for ESTH cover Q2 and Q3 (July – December 2018).
Key points to note from Q2 and Q3 2018/19
The reports provided to the Clinical Quality Review Meeting cover all CCGs
the Trust provides services to and not just Surrey Downs CCG.
A total of 74 alerts were received by ESTH, however only 10 of these related
to Surrey Downs CCG.
Out of the 10 alerts, issues relating to ‘results/tests’ (3) were raised most
often, followed by ‘medication’ (2).
The Ashley Centre Surgery raised the majority of these alerts.
4. Surveys
4.1 Maternity Services Survey 2018
In January 2019 the Care Quality Commission (CQC) published the results of their
2018 Maternity Services survey. The survey looked at the experiences of women
who gave birth in February 2018. There were 17,611 participants, with a response
rate of 37%.
“Overall, women reported positive experiences for many areas of their maternity care in 2018, this includes:
being asked how they feel emotionally during antenatal care feeling listened to by midwives during antenatal check-ups being spoken to in a way they understood during labour and birth having confidence and trust in the staff caring for them being treated with respect and dignity their partner (or someone else close to them) being involved during labour
and birth
However, while there had been small improvements across most questions from 2013 to 2017, very few questions showed this trend continuing between 2017 and 2018, with some questions showing a decline.

The following table provides a summary of patient responses to the survey for Ashford and St Peter’s Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust (ASPH), Epsom and St Helier University Hospitals NHS Trust (ESTH) and Royal Surrey County Hospital NHS Foundation Trust (RSCH). Patients were asked questions about different aspects of their care and treatment and based on those responses the CQC gave each NHS trust a score out of 10 for each question. Each trust also received a rating of ‘Better, ‘About the same’ or ‘Worse’ to illustrate how they compared on each question to most other trusts that took part in the survey.

The results for the survey across the three trusts indicate that they are scoring similar on each question compared to other trusts across the country taking part. RSCH has scored better in three areas and ASPH in one.
All three trusts have scored relatively low with regard to discharge from hospital being delayed. In particular, ESTH scored worse compared to other trusts in relation to this issue. The results from the survey and system actions and sharing of best practice and learning is co-ordinated through the Surrey Heartlands Local Maternity Network (LMS) Quality and Safety group. Highlight reports on system performance from the LMS are now being produced and these are being received at individual provider clinical quality review meetings so that assurance can be sought and monitored through this forum.
4.2 Community Mental Health Survey 2018
In November 2018 the CQC published the results of their 2018 Community Mental
Health survey. The survey looked at the experiences of people aged 18 years of
over receiving community mental health services during September to November
2017. There were 12,796 participants with a response rate of 28%.
“Results from the 2018 community mental health survey, compared with results from previous years, showed declines across several areas. This includes people’s perceptions of:
seeing someone from NHS mental health services often enough being involved in agreeing their care their agreed care taking personal circumstances into account receiving help with finding support for their physical health needs receiving help with finding support for financial advice or benefits
People’s experience of mental health services were more positive for some questions, this includes:
knowing how to contact the person in charge of their care, if they had a concern

the NHS Therapies section, which relates to whether people felt they were involved
as much as they wanted to be in deciding which NHS therapies to use. The Trust
have acknowledged this and will be exploring the issue further with their therapy
leads in the form of a focus group with people using the service, to help understand
what improvements they could make. Updates on the implementation of the action
plans resulting from national surveys are received through the provider clinical
quality review meeting and effectiveness of actions tracked and assured through this
route.
4.3 NHS Staff Survey 2018
In February 2019 the NHS Staff Survey of NHS trusts and foundation trusts was
published. The survey took place between September and December 2018 across
304 NHS organisations with a response rate of 40%.
Overall findings from the survey show that more than seven in ten staff would
recommend their organisation to their family and friends for treatment. This has
increased every year for the last four years.
“Almost three quarters of staff, 74%, feel enthusiastic about their job, a 6% rise on 2014, and more than four out of five, 81%, are satisfied with the quality of care they give to patients.
Whilst fewer NHS staff report experiencing physical violence from patients, relatives or members of the public, the proportion has only fallen from 15.4% to 14.5%.
Among the areas of concern highlighted by the research is that just under one in five staff report personally having experienced harassment, bullying or abuse at work from other colleagues, an increase from 18% to 19.1%.”

The table below provides an overview of the responses received for our local provider trusts.
The survey questions were grouped into ten themes and an overall score was calculated for each theme. The table shows how each trust scored on each theme compared to their benchmarking group. ASPH, ESTH and RSCH were compared to the Acute benchmarking group and SABPT to the Mental Health / Learning Disability group. The colour indicates whether the trust’s overall score is either - better; equal to or worse than their benchmarking average score.

The results differ across the organisations. It is clear that SABPT appears to have the highest staff satisfaction, with the majority of their themes scoring higher than the benchmarking average. On the other hand ESTH scored below average for the majority of their themes indicating poorer staff satisfaction with their trust.
All three acute trusts scored lower than the benchmarking average for ‘Equality Diversity and Inclusion’ and ‘Safe Environment – Bullying and Harassment’. ‘Equality Diversity and Inclusion’ covers questions relating to whether staff have experienced discrimination at work over the past 12 months and whether the organisation has made adequate adjustments for staff to carry out their work and acted fairly with regard to career progression. ‘Safe Environment – Bullying and Harassment’ covers questions relating to personal experience of harassment, bullying or abuse at work in the last 12 months from either the public, managers or other colleagues.
Updates on the implementation of the action plans resulting from the NHS staff
surveys are received through the provider clinical quality review meetings and
updates on the implementation and effectiveness of actions tracked and assured
through this route.
The findings and actions resulting from the Surrey Heartlands CCGs is reported
separately to Governing Body through the Corporate team.

5. Conclusion
This report presents an overview of patient experience data. It demonstrates that
there are systems and processes in place to manage, monitor and report on patient
experience as required by national guidance and a route through the Clinical Quality
Review meetings to pick up and seek assurance or take contractual action as
required on the actions being taken in relation to any areas of non-compliance.
