Managing the Transition Sept 2011
Agenda Where are we? Clinical Commissioning Groups (CCGs) Health and Well Being Boards Issues
Reasons for Change Clinicians at the heart of decision making Involvement and Empowering Patients Best outcomes in the world - Driving up quality
New Architecture CCGs SHA Clusters PCT Clusters Health and Wellbeing Boards
CCGs 95% Pathfinders Variable maturity Variable size Governance Scope of Commissioning Population based In addition, it is vital that the needs of homeless and excluded people are fully addressed by commissioning consortia, who must be responsible for meeting the needs of everyone residing in their area, not just those who are registered with GPs. We were encouraged to see an amendment agreed to this effect at the Bill’s committee stage
Pre-authorisation PCTs and SHAs formed clusters Assignment of staff and delegation of commissioning responsibilities Shadow Health and Well Being Boards Issues: End State NCB Relationship Authorisation with conditions Commissioning Support
To be authorised consortia will need to demonstrate… Clinical focus and added value Engagement with patients and communities A clear and credible plan to deliver quality improvement within the allotted financial resource Capacity and capability to deliver all their responsibilities, including delivery of financial control Collaborative arrangements for commissioning with other consortia, Local Authorities and the NHS CB Leadership capacity and capability
Collaborative arrangements for commissioning How does the consortium plan to work with other consortia and local authorities? What commissioning support arrangements do they have in place to help them commission across wider geographies? Standards Partnership arrangements e.g. pooled budgets, lead commissioning etc in place with other consortia and local authorities Effective ways of working with NHS CB in place Suitable arrangements in place to access the right public health advice. The consortium is a member of all relevant shadow health and wellbeing boards Robust commissioning support arrangements in place to support collaboration Tests JSNA/Health and Wellbeing strategy Commissioning Plan Constitution Commissioning support arrangements 360 degree input Face-to-face meeting Evidence
Clinical Focus and Added Value Plans to assess local need, reduce inequalities, and ensure continual quality improvement, to improve patient experience and outcomes Demonstrate engagement of constituent GPs, also the involvement of other clinical professionals. Standards Are key programmes of work led by clinicians from a range of appropriate disciplines? Arrangements for effective participation of all the consortium’s practices Is the consortium engaging with stakeholders Does the consortium have plans to use peer to peer challenge Tests Joint Health and Wellbeing strategy Commissioning plan Constitution Membership agreement 360 degree input Face-to-face meeting Evidence

Draft Authorisation Issues Raised Why? Accountability and authorised with conditions NCB Relationship Support services Running costs Sustainability
Health and Well Being Boards Responsible for developing joint strategic needs assessments and a joint health and wellbeing strategy. Scrutiny powers of local authorities to be restricted; use their power of referral to the Secretary of State only for significant changes to designated services. Min membership: the Director of children’s services, the Director of adult social services, the Director of public health, at least one elected representative, which may be the elected mayor or leader of the council, or a councillor nominated by them The Local Healthwatch, Relevant GP consortium
Post Pause Stronger role in promoting joint commissioning and can act as lead commissioner for some services. Stronger role in the development of commissioning plans and will be able to refer plans back to the NCB
Post Pause 2 Formal role in the authorisation of clinical commissioning groups and will lead on local public involvement. Restrictions on scrutiny powers of local authorities lifted. Consideration to be given to the feasibility of “Citizens right” to challenge poor service There should be a requirement for every JSNA to assess groups in the community with the poorest health to ensure that the needs of the most excluded are recognised. Every JSNA must also assess, and take steps to meet the housing needs of the local population. The JSNA should be aligned with the most recent assessment of housing needs.
Consortia Support Consortia will succeed or fail by quality of support Need to identify functions Need to consider scale Alternative models Voluntary sector Independent sector January 2011
