3. Current work in Evidence and Intelligence creating a national leadership role for evidence and intelligence (E&I) in PHE, integrating leadership of cancer registration, NDTMS, and cancer (inc. NCIN) and public health intelligence creating eight geographical areas of accountability, with multiple office sites/bases where needed combining cancer registry intelligence staff with public health observatory staff to create eight evidence and intelligence teams developing national cancer registration based on existing move to national system developing national NDTMS structure, drawing on existing regional teams and a common model providing an excellent responsive service to local partners, including PHE Centres, Local Authorities, Clinical Networks and others as appropriate

4. Fifteen PHE Centres Provision of Health Protection Services maintaining and building on the services offered by HPUs Building PHE’s relationship with Local Authorities – professional support for health improvement including building on the NTA role to oversee drug and alcohol treatment services Ensuring the local NHS has access to high quality PH advice, supporting the local DPH relating to the NHS Employment and professional development of Immunisation and Screening teams who will be embedded with NHS CB LATs Development of the specialist and wider public health workforce supporting LAs and managing PHE’s relationship with the LETBs Provide PH specialists to support specialised commissioning and dental commissioning – for those NHS CB LATs with this responsibility

5. Eight Network Team areas Knowledge and intelligence teams (drawing on capacity from the public health observatories and the cancer registries) providing analytical and knowledge management support and advice to PHE and partners Cancer registration and NDTMS teams collecting and quality assuring data from service providers Quality Assurance teams for cancer and non- cancer screening (based on QARCs, and a new function for PHE) assuring safe and effective screening for a range of diseases Network teams: all the above, plus colleagues in Regions and Centres as appropriate, within a particular geographical area cooperating and collaborating on corporate aspects (e.g. estates, IT), resources (e.g. shared administrative support) and/or specific projects (e.g. children and maternity; liver disease etc.) Northern and Yorkshire: 7.9m (15.0%) North West: 7.0m (13.2%) West Midlands: 5.6m (10.6%) East Midlands: 3.6m (6.8%) South West: 4.6m (8.7%) South East: 9.2m (17.4%) London: 8.1m (15.4%) East of England: 6.8m (12.8%) The map shows population sizes in millions and (proportions of the total) as per Census 2011 data, total English population of 52.7m

6. Context for local public health intelligence work What are the relevant changes? –Physical move and changed functions of DsPH and their teams –Local Authority public health responsibilities –Local ‘proposition’ ie. support offer Formal requirements: –NHS planning guidance for 2012/13: To agree arrangements on public health information requirements and information governance by September 2012 –PHE transition guidance checklist item: Are plans in place to ensure access to IT systems, sharing of data and access to health intelligence in line with information governance and business requirements during transition and beyond?

7. Legal requirements (Act 2012) “Obtaining advice from individuals who taken together have a wide range of professional expertise in the prevention, diagnosis or treatment of illness, and the protection or improvement of public health” Authorisation Criteria “1.3 Widespread involvement of other clinical colleagues providing health services locally [identified by..] Arrangements in place between LA and CCG specifying how public health advice to CCGs will be delivered.” Clinical Commissioning Groups

8. Commissioning Support Services Potential NHS commissioning support suppliers should: “Develop an understanding of how their offer will relate to other parts of the commissioning support supply chain and the delivery impact of this (for example by engaging with local authorities and the public health team to establish what they are providing)” “Work is on-going to establish which elements of Health Needs Assessment and Business Intelligence for NHS commissioners might be secured as part of a ‘core offer’ from Public Health England (PHE) and which components might be provided by NHS commissioning support functions”

17. Commissioning Board’s perspective now..

18. Public Health Population Healthcare Advice (AKA The Core Offer) Why? Good population health outcomes, including reducing health inequalities, rely not only on health protection and health improvement, but on the quality and accessibility of healthcare services provided by the NHS Local authorities, as part of their statutory functions around public health, will have responsibility for providing healthcare public health advice to clinical commissioning groups (CCGs), Each CCG will be under a duty to “obtain advice appropriate for enabling it effectively to discharge its functions from persons who (taken together) have a broad range of professional expertise in – –the prevention, diagnosis or treatment of illness, and –the protection or improvement of public health. ” The current resource in terms of public health expertise to provide this service will transfer from primary care trusts (PCTs) to upper tier and unitary local authorities (LAs) as part of the ring-fenced public health budget. Further information Ann Goodwin, Project Manager, ann.goodwin@dh.gsi.gov.ukann.goodwin@dh.gsi.gov.uk

19. Core Offer - The how and the what A working group was established. The membership included representatives from the Association of Directors of Public Health, the Faculty of Public Health, British Medical Association, Royal College of General Practitioners, GPs from emerging clinical commissioning groups (CCGs), the Local Government Group and the Association of Directors of Adult Social Services. Developed the content of the service by linking specialist public health advice to elements of the commissioning cycle, from assessing needs for health services through to planning capacity and managing demand Local authorities will be free to deliver this service in a variety of ways. For example, in relatively small authorities it may make sense to locate a team in a single authority, which will deliver the service on behalf of several local authorities. Public Health England will also play an important role in supporting the work of local information and intelligence specialists in the public health team. There is nothing to prevent local authorities from agreeing locally to offer a wider range of services over and above the free healthcare public health advice service. This would need to be agreed locally. If the healthcare public health service is to be effective there will need to be constructive relationships built between local authorities and CCGs, to ensure that the local commissioning fully reflects the population perspective. The key to making it work will be developing effective local partnerships. Subject to Parliament, regulations will clarify further what local authorities will need to provide in delivering this function, although the precise content of the service in each locality will be driven by local agreement, reflecting local needs and available skills and resources.

20. Core Offer - How much resource? The Association of Directors of Public Health surveyed Directors of Public Health to establish how much of their and their accredited public health specialists’ time was currently spent undertaking the elements of the service. The estimate was somewhere between 25% and 50% of the local specialist public health team. The guidance, based on the outputs of that survey, suggests (for planning purposes) that something in the region of 40% of the local public health specialist team might be engaged in this work, with a rough coverage of 1 wte specialist per 270,000 or so people. This will vary from place to place, and input will vary across the year and there will need to be local agreement of the inputs and outputs through local planning arrangements, reflecting for example, the number of CCGs.

21. Core Offer - Agreements The development of a local service agreement agreed with CCGs via a compact or Memorandum of Understanding between the local authority and CCG, specifying public health inputs and outputs, and outlining the reciprocal expectations placed upon the CCG. The ‘shadow’ period from April 2012 to March 2013 will be useful developing appropriate agreements. These agreements can be underpinned by an annual work plan for the healthcare public health advice service agreed by both the CCG and the local authority Director of Public Health specifying the particular deliverables for the twelve month period. Further accountability could be provided, for example, by the Director of Public Health and CCG jointly presenting to the relevant health and wellbeing board information setting out how the service had been provided that year. This might cover the process for engaging with public health expertise, names and teams, how the time had been spent, how statistically robust any data had been, lessons to be learnt for next year. Where there are concerns about the quality of the advice received we would expect this to be raised at the local level initially with the local authority.

22. Core Offer - Example MOUs Nottingham Outlines reciprocal responsibilities Not just about healthcare advice Specifies the resource Offers to provide training etc Worcestershire Outlines reciprocal responsibilities Not just about healthcare advice What don’t they cover ?

23. Core Offer - What next? Local Public Health Transition Plans Discussions with CCGs /CSS’s /Health and Wellbeing Board Data from CSS’s to support the ‘Core Offer’ should be free of charge Agreement between partners as to the ‘What’, ‘How’ and by ‘Whom’ Named Informatics leads in CCGs/CSS’s/Local Authority ww.dh.gov.uk/health/2012/06/public-health-advice- to-ccgs/
