London Ambulance Service – calls Number of Category A calls to London Ambulance Service from City and Hackney residents has increased: from 1340 in 2011/12 to 1500 in 2012/13 to 1600 in 2013/14 (7-9% increase per year; this increase is comparable to the increase across London of 5-13% each year. Number of calls stable across 2013/14: compared to increase over the year in previous 2 years Majority of these calls are Category A (R2) and Category C2: together making up nearly 70% of all calls Proportion of Category A calls responded to in 8 minutes and 19 minutes has remained stable over last 3 years: 75% of calls responded to in 8 minutes across all 3 years and slight decrease in number responded to in 19 minutes (from 99% to 95%). Both of these proportions are comparable to response rates across London Source: LAS CCG monthly report

111 – calls Average number of calls to 111: 1440 per month over 2013/14 Majority of calls are in daytime (9am-3pm) or evening (7pm-midnight) – together accounting for 60% of calls. Only 20% between midnight and 9am. Majority of calls are recommended to attend primary care: 61%. 17% are recommended to attend other service. Nearly 20% of calls are recommended to attend A&E or an ambulance is dispatched. Proportions of recommendation/action in response to calls stay reasonably constant across year.

A&E attendances Attendances increasing over time: there were 123,000 A&E attendances for City and Hackney patients in 2013/14, the same number as in 2012/13 but an increase from 2011/12 when there were 105,000 A&E attendances. This equates to an increase in the monthly average attendances from 9,600 in 2011/12 to 10,300 in 2013/14 Vast majority of attendances at Homerton: 70% of these A&E attendances for City and Hackney patients were at the Homerton (2013/14; 9% in same period at Barts Health) Source: SUS

A&E attendances – tariff/cost The vast majority of A&E attendances at Homerton A&E are non-complex: cat 1/2 investigations with cat 1/2 treatment: 40% of attendances are cat 1 investigation with cat 1/2 treatment and 25% are cat 2 investigation with cat 1 treatment (these proportions are matched when looking at the total of the top 5 providers). A&E attendances at Barts Health are more complex: with higher proportions of more complex investigations and treatments (nearly 30% are cat 3/4 investigation or treatment) Total spend on A&E attendances at the Homerton is £7.4million (2013/14) Spend for same period at Barts is £1.3million (higher cost than the proportion of activity suggests due to higher proportion of more expensive tariff attendances) Cost of attendances – by attendance department i.e. tariff costs for Paeds, Majors etc, block for PUCC Source: SUS; 2013/14

A&E attendances – referral source 54% of people who attend A&E refer themselves: this proportion of all A&E attendances has been stable over the last 3 years (7% increase in absolute numbers over 3 years) 14% of attendees are referred by their GP: this proportion of all A&E attendances has been stable over the last 3 years (but 14% increase in absolute numbers over 3 years) There have been some large % increases in referral sources (generally sources with fewer absolute numbers of referrals) from 2011/12 to 2013/14: – 50% increase in referrals from other healthcare providers – 31% increase in referrals from emergency services – 70% increase in referrals from social services Source: SUS
11
A&E attendances – time and day 25% of A&E attendances are at the weekend: this is a constant for both 2012/13 and 2013/14 (for City and Hackney patients at all trusts) Variation in numbers of attendances on different days between 2012/13 and 2013/14 – some very large e.g. a decrease from 30,00 attendances on Thursdays in 2012/13 to less than 10,000 in 2013/14 Attendances at different times of the day is constant between weekends and weekdays and over the last 2 years. Nearly 75% of attendances are between 8am and 8pm (divided equally between the 3 4hr periods within this). The fewest people attend A&E in the early morning – 4-8am (only 5% of all attendances) 95% of people spent 4 hours or less in A&E in 2013/14 (over 50% spent 2 hours or less) Waiting time target achievement – 12/13 and 13/14 2012/132013/14 Source: SUS Time of attendance; 2013/14
12
A&E attendances – by practice Large variation in A&E attendance rates (per 1000 population) from 214 (Neaman) to 607 (Sorsby) Sandringham, Sorsby, Beechwood, Wick and Greenhouse all have attendance rate greater than 2 SDs from City and Hackney mean Attendance rates mapped against: – patient satisfaction with access – by distance of practice (or centre point of patient address) to HUH/other trust Source: SUS; 2013/14
13
Frequent attenders – visits and patients 103,000 A&E attendances in 2013/14 were made up by 60,000 patients 40,000 patients attended A&E only once; 20,000 patients attended A&E 2-5 times; 1000 patients attended 6-10 times, 200 patients attended 11-19 times and 90 patients attended more than 20 times (during 2013/14) Majority of visits to A&E are by those who have been more than once in a year – largest proportion of visits is from those who visited 2-5 times (19,400 patients) Source: SUS; 2013/14

A&E admissions Admissions decreased slightly in 2013/14: total admissions increased from 16,500 in 2011/12 to 17,000 in 2012/13 and then decreased to 15,800 in 2013/14. at the same time as A&E attendances are increasing slightly. The drop of over 2000 admissions in 2013/14 came at a time when A&E attendances had remained at 123,000 from previous year levels. Vast majority of attendances at Homerton: 76% in 2013/14. 10% at Barts Health (similar to proportions of A&E attendances at different providers) Source: SUS
15
A&E admissions Rate of non-elective admissions at similar level to London average (excl dental, maternity, sickle): an average of 6.2 admissions per 1000 population per month. This is despite having a higher attendance rate than London. The conversion rate of A&E attendances to admissions in City and Hackney is lower than London and other WELC CCGs (fewer admissions per unit attendance) The conversion rate of attendances to admissions increased from 2009/10 (0.16) to 2011/12 (peaking at 0.23) but then decreased during 2012/13. Average admission rate is 0.2 (meaning 1 admission for every 5 attendances). Recent analysis by the CSU suggest there is a strong correlation between A&E attendances and admissions, but other factors are more important in dictating admission rates than attendance numbers Source: HES
16
A&E admissions – LOS and time of admission Nearly 50% of emergency admissions via A&E have a length of stay of more than 2 days. However, the proportion of admissions which are >2 days has decreased slightly since 2011/12 Barts and UCLH have slightly higher proportions of admissions that have a LOS of more than 2 days. The Whittington have a higher proportion of admissions with a LOS of less than 1 day Emergency admissions via A&E cost City and Hackney CCG £34.1million in 2012/13 and £29.1million in 2013/14. Excess bed days charges make up 7% of that cost for both years. Benchmark as % of all admissions, to London average 50% of admissions admitted within 5 hours of arriving at A&E. Of these admissions 35% are admitted in the half an hour between 3hr 31mins and 4 hrs (the A&E target time) Source: SUS
