The STP & the CCG perspective
The STP – Sustainability and Transformation Plan
What does it say? Implement acute reconfiguration Develop new model of community/primary care/social care – the MCP model Cross county collaboration on some other acute services which are fragile, eg stroke, cancer etc
The STP – the money £1.168 billion in 16/17 £1.327 billion in 2021 Allocative approach working through spend on programme areas 5 year journey Resource shift requires move away from PbR contracts to “allocated” population based capitated budgets Plan for use of ‘STF’ money - £50 million in 2021, £20 million for transformation
Putting that into practice 2017/18 Use emerging Alliance Board structures Develop notional/devolved budget – CCG level initially, some ideas: WHCT community services, some WHCT mental health, some non-GMS primary care, prescribing, premises, some social care Link to contracting round with Worcs Acute – activity plan outpatients, admissions and diagnostics Align CCG and WHCT management resources and capacity Voluntary participation
4 priorities for Alliance Boards Improving access to care – new ways of dealing with same day demand that release GP capacity Integrating primary care, social care and community teams – focus on most vulnerable patients Integrate specialist support – reduce steps in the pathway and time taken to access specialist support Promote prevention and self management
Implementing the General Practice Forward View: Local Delivery Plan
The GPFV published on 21 April 2016 sets out investment and commitments to strengthen general practice in the short term & support sustainable transformation of primary care for the future. Many of the actions in the GPFV are for NHS England, HEE & CQC to take forward. What Annex 6 of focusses upon are the actions CCGs need to implement more local aspects. Shared annex 6 with practices via Weekly Briefing

CCGs are encouraged Redditch & Bromsgrove CCG £525,000 South Worcestershire CCG £909,000 Wyre Forest CCG £336,000
