EXECUTIVE SUMMARY 3 Eleven months to 28 th February 2015 For the eleven months to 28 th February 2015, NHS Merton CCG is reporting a year to date and full year improvement from plan of £0.5m. As reported from Month 9 onwards, this improvement from plan in the year to date and full year position specifically relates to return of the unused legacy continuing healthcare contributions from NHS England. There has been a non recurrent reduction in the revenue resource limit of £0.2m in Month 11. This relates to a 2013/14 repayment to the South West London risk pool for learning disabilities. Acute commissioning is over performing by £1.4m year to date, forecast to increase to an over spend of £1.6m by year end. St George’s NHS Trust is forecast to over perform by £0.7m, this is the position as reported in Month 10. Discussions with the trust regarding a year end settlement are currently on going. Epsom & St Helier NHS trust are reporting under performance of £0.3m primarily in elective activity and critical care, this has worsened considerably from what has been reported previously owing to an increase in activity in emergency and outpatient procedures. Kingston Hospital NHS Foundation trust is forecast to over perform by £0.1m mostly owing to over performance in critical care and outpatients. An over spend of £0.3m is forecast for non acute commissioning. This has worsened slightly from last month owing to an increase in the forecast position for children’s placements which are now forecast to over spend by £0.5m. Primary care is forecast to over spend by £0.7m, over spends are reported on prescribing, out of hours and care of older people local enhanced services. An over spend of £0.7m is reported on corporate costs, a full year under spend of £0.2m is reported on running costs owing to lower than anticipated admin spend at the Nelson Health Centre, however, this is offset by higher than anticipated programme spend related to the Nelson Health Centre. The forecast over spends are being offset by under spends on investments, release of CCG SLA reserve, partial release of contingency fund and return of Merton’s remaining contribution of £0.7m from the SWL risk pool contribution. QIPP – Year to date over achievement of £0.2m and full year over achievement of £0.1m is forecast.

QIPP 6 A YTD over achievement of £0.2m is reported. This is mostly owing to the acute challenges scheme which is reporting a YTD achievement of £1.4m. To date £0.7m of challenges have been agreed, a further £1.5m of most likely challenges are included in the reported acute position. A FY over achievement of £85k is reported, this relates to higher than planned savings on the mental health contracts scheme, in- reach nursing scheme and the musculoskeletal scheme where slippage on the planned investment is reported offset by under achievement of some planned care schemes that owing to procurement reasons could not be implemented this year.

STATEMENT OF CONTRACT POSITION – At Month 10 not Month 11 7 The three highest value contracts will be discussed in further detail on slides Moorfield’s - YTD over performance of £0.2m is driven by high cost drugs and day case activity. The over performance in day case activity is particularly being seen in the cataracts speciality. Croydon – YTD over performance of £0.2m is owing to maternity and critical care. Royal Marsden – The YTD under spend of £0.3m is primarily in electives, emergency and critical care. Queen Mary’s – YTD over spend of £0.3m is owing to high activity levels in the older peoples services and electives. Chelsea & Westminster – The YTD over spend of £0.3m is in obstetrics and outpatient follow ups. Births are above plan. University College London – YTD under spend of £0.1m is in electives and critical care.

The over spend in critical care is owing to one long stay critical care patient (95 bed days) who was discharged in Month 7’s freeze position. Some of the over performance is offset by under performance in emergency (£424k). Direct access over performance (£84k) is a result of activity shifts from St Helier’s to Kingston NHSFT. The FY forecast is over performance of £0.1m.

NON ACUTE PERFORMANCE 11 Commentary The £0.2m YTD and FY over spend reported on mental health placements is owing to an increase in the number of placements.
