Group to look at detail within the model and provide any further comments to Liz Hume by 17 th September Identification Model: Evaluation Model: Agreed subject to re-drafting to reflect Triple Aim model used by health, together with ‘innovation’. This should include clarity for both health and social care on ‘year of life’ costs for 12 months prior to involvement in the project, and 12 months post involvement. Agreed questionnaire is key & that a cross partnership group will be formed to ensure both the questionnaire and the wider evaluation model is developed fully to reflect the needs of all partners in time to go live by the end of March 2013.

Payment Options for Delivery Agent(s) Agreed would leave open to commissioning process – providers to state their preferred options for payment – to be built into the commissioning specification. Specification to include requirement to work flexibly with a range of agencies for best possible package of provision and access to grants/loans for home improvements. All partners to be fully engaged in the commissioning and procurement process.

Trigger for releasing PbR to investing parties Lifting an individual out of fuel poverty is a key objective of the overall project and is what triggers payment from partners who have committed to sharing the financial benefits realised by achieving the outcome on an individual basis. The proposed savings to be shared are as follows: Health to cash - £250 per person lifted out of fuel poverty Council to cash - £50 per person lifted out of fuel poverty Option – Cap on income levels eligibility for scheme at £40,000 per annum. Estimates can be used in absence of average actual annual expenditure on energy bills – similar methodology as energy providers use to inform tariff switching decisions.
