3. Declarations of Interest The Chair reminded members of their obligations to declare any interest they may have on any issues arising at meetings which might conflict with the business of NHS Doncaster Clinical Commissioning Group. Declarations declared by members are listed in the CCG’s register of Interests. The Register is available either via the secretary to the Governing Body or the CCG website at the following link www.doncasterccg.nhs.uk The meeting was noted as quorate. Declarations of interest from sub-committee/working groups: None declared. Declarations of interest from today’s meeting: Dr Crichton declared a Financial interest in Item 10, Corporate Parenting Board Looked After Children report. Dr Crichton provides Initial Health Assessments (IHAs) for Looked After Children however as the report was for noting by the Governing Body rather than for a decision, Dr Crichton was not excluded from the meeting for this item. Dr Britten informed the Governing Body that she has ceased practicing at the Scott Practice in Balby, Doncaster and now practices at the Church View Practice in Denaby Main, Doncaster. Dr Crichton requested that Dr Britten complete a Declarations of Interest form to reflect the change.
Dr Britten
4. Questions from Members of the Public/ Patient Stories Questions from Members of the Public It was noted that there were no questions from members of the public received for this meeting. Patient Story Dr Crichton introduced Becci, Mica and Tracey Cusack, Partnership Officer for the Doncaster Children’s Trust to the Governing Body meeting and explained that both Becci and Mica had experienced first-
3
hand the services for Looked After Children. A short video featuring an interview by Tracey with Becci and Mica followed. Becci and Mica described how they were taken into foster care as a result of drug, alcohol and mental health issues at home. Mica has been living independently since the age of 18 which resulted in debt. These financial difficulties led to skin problems and feeling exhausted. Dr Barbour commented that she appreciated the video and enquired if there was any aspect of the provision of health services which could have been better. Mica reported that she had visited her GP 6 times and had an 18 month wait for a referral to Dermatology for her treatment of Psoriasis. The Governing Body remarked on the importance of commissioning for joined up care and identifying emerging needs for group of patients like Looked After Children early. Mrs Cookson informed the Governing Body that this cohort of children often assume a parental role and that of young carer. The Governing Body noted the importance of supporting young carers. Mrs Hilditch stated that Healthwatch is keen to engage with young people to ensure their voice is heard and would welcome their thoughts on methods of how this may be accomplished. Various options were discussed. Dr Crichton commented that the Health & Wellbeing Board ambition is to work in a more integrated way across all organisations in Doncaster to ensure progress is made in partnership across care pathways, and that our ambition is that this should smooth the pathways to care. Tracey Cusack asked if she could take a photograph of Members with Becci and Mica which will be used as evidence of their visit and the Governing Body agreed. Dr Crichton thanked Becci, Mica and Tracey for their valuable contribution.
5. Minutes of the Previous Meeting held on 16th February 2017 The minutes of the meeting held on 16th February 2017 were agreed as an accurate record.
6. Matters Arising Primary Care Commissioning Committee Quarterly Report Mrs Satterthwaite confirmed that the post meeting note had been added to the Governing Body minutes of 19th January 2017 to reflect the update.
4
Quality & Performance Report 62 day Cancer waits - Mrs Leighton reported that 85% of patients were seen within 73 days. Work is being undertaken to establish the breakdown. A&E 4hour wait – in January 2017 95% of patients were seen within 7 hours and 42 minutes. Work is ongoing to understand the breakdown. The action for Dr Seddon to provide feedback on how the 50% target for IAPT had been established was carried forward to the Governing Body meeting on 20th April 2017.
Dr Seddon
7. Delivery of the CCG Commissioning Strategy Mrs Leighton explained that, at the November meeting of the Governing Body, the Commissioning and Contracting Intentions for 2017 – 2019 were received. The Intentions reflected the:
Focus of the Doncaster Place Plan
Focus of the South Yorkshire & Bassetlaw Sustainability and Transformational Plans (STP)
NHS Operational Planning and Contracting Guidance, including delivery of the 9 National “must be dones”
Quality, Innovation, Productivity and Prevention (QIPP) requirements
The Governing Body agreed that The CCGs 5 year strategic vision should continue to build upon three connecting service areas required for systematic transformational change:
Care Out of hospital.
Care of the Elderly.
Co-ordinated Care.
The NHS Doncaster CCG Commissioning and Contracting teams enacted the intentions into the 2 year contracts with the main providers of care Rotherham Doncaster and South Humber Mental Health Foundation Trust (RDASH) and Doncaster and Bassetlaw Teaching Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust (DBTHFT). These contracts were signed on 23rd December 2016. Individual Delivery Plans for the agreed priority areas have been developed in collaboration with Clinical Leads, CCG teams and partner organisations. These plans have been discussed and debated at the Strategy and Organisation Development sessions. Each Delivery Area has a partnership delivery group and associated dashboard to monitor implementation and impact. It is the intention to present the dashboards at monthly Governing Body meetings as part of the current performance report.
5
Mrs Leighton requested that the Governing Body note and approve the following Delivery Plans for 2017 – 2019:
Urgent Care
Planned Care
Intermediate Care
Cancer
Mental Health
Learning Disabilities
Primary Care
Community Services
Children’s and Young People
Dementia
Medicines Management Mrs Whittle commented that the Delivery Plans were well presented however as the plans were presented to the Public, suggested that acronyms be replaced with full terminology. Mrs Whittle also highlighted that it is important to know when patient engagement is taking or has taken place. There are some good examples of this reflected within the plans but some of the plans omit how patients have been actively involved. The Engagement & Experience Committee (EEC) recently held a workshop where it was discussed how Committee members could start to liaise with the Commissioning Managers for each of the 12 CCG priority areas to introduce additional patient engagement methodologies. Mrs Leighton agreed to liaise with the Commissioning Managers within the Strategy & Development Team and stated that each plan will require a different element of engagement. Dr Barbour referred to the Primary Care Delivery Plan and the absence of reference to an appropriate length of appointment time in General Practice. There is currently a shortage of practitioners with more leaving as a result of work pressures and it would be beneficial to consider a minimum length of consultation time. Mrs Sherburn explained that this had not been featured as an implicit intention due to it being covered within the GP Forward View Releasing Time for Care Programme and there are therefore opportunities under Responsive Primary Care to explore different methods of working. Dr Crichton commented that this had been discussed nationally however there was no definitive answer and questioned whether there was a need to be so explicit. Currently practices have the ability to offer as long a consultation as is necessary. Dr Crichton suggested that this be discussed in more detail at the Primary Care Commissioning Committee. Miss Morris acknowledged that a lot of work had been invested in the development of the plans however observed that there was some duplication albeit worded differently. The plans should be smarter in respect of targets and chronological timings for example. Dr Tupper agreed with Miss Morris comments and stated that there could be more rigour in our thinking for clarity.

Mrs Pederson stated that the intention was to hold subsequent ‘Market Place Session’ but diary commitments had not thus far permitted; this could be arranged in the new financial year. The Governing Body noted and approved the Delivery Plans for 2017-2019 with the proviso that the Governing Body’s comments are acknowledged and incorporated into the plans.
8. Future Child Health Service Model Mrs Sherburn presented the Care of the Acutely Unwell Child Case For Change to the Governing Body and explained that The Working Together Partnership Vanguard has been progressing work to review the current provision of care for the acutely unwell child, and moderately ill child within the context of national standards for child health. In December 2015, acute care providers within the Working Together Partnership Vanguard were asked to undertake a self-assessment of the hospital care provision against the national standard in ‘Facing the Future’. These national standards cover the care provided within an acute setting in relation to child health. At the same time, Clinical Commissioning Groups (CCGs) were also asked to undertake an assessment of local provision against national standards ‘Facing the Future’. In September 2016 the Clinical Senate was requested to review the outline Case for Change and supporting best practice review and scenario appraisal and provide comment and advice. It is proposed that the outline Case for Change is supported as evidence of the need to progress a more detailed piece of work which should include the following as a minimum:
Options development and appraisal.
Equality Impact Assessments on options.
Financial planning / analysis against options.
Public engagement and potential consultation.
Sustainability & Transformation Plan (STP) links and support.
Yorkshire & Humber Senate review of options.
NHS Assurance processes. Mrs Sherburn requested that the Governing Body consider the outline strategic Case for Change and support the work-up of some options to support sustainable care across providers, within the context of the STP. Dr Barbour stated that when assessing themselves Doncaster and Sheffield Trusts provided a good, quality service, but consistency was needed across the Sustainability & Transformation Plan area. Dr Tupper commented that the Governing Body has been asked to comment on the Case for Change previously. Mrs Sherburn explained
7
that this has not yet been discussed in the public arena. Mrs Hilditch requested that the Governing Body acknowledge the lessons learned from the public consultations on the Hyper Acute Stroke Unit and the Children’s Surgery and Anaesthesia when developing a plan for communications and consultation with the public. The Governing Body considered the outline strategic Case for Change and supported the work-up of some options to support sustainable care across providers, within the context of the STP.
9. Continuing Healthcare Hosted Services Dr Crichton informed the Governing Body that, as Mr Russell had been detained on an urgent matter Mrs Tingle would present this item. Mrs Tingle reminded the Governing Body of the journey which had led to NHS Doncaster CCG hosting services for Continuing Health Care (CHC) and Previously Un-assessed Periods of Care (PUPoC). The PUPoC service manages claims from appellants for previously un-assessed periods of care that may have been eligible for funding from the NHS under the auspices of the Continuing Health Care Framework. The PUPoC process is mandated and follows national guidance. The period covered by this scheme was between 2004 and 2012 with all assessments and initial decisions completed by March 2017. NHS Doncaster CCG agreed to host the PUPoC service (PUPoC Shared Service) on behalf of 12 CCGs (including NHS Doncaster CCG); 9 of these were within Yorkshire and Humber with a further 3 in Leicester. NHS Doncaster CCG also agreed to host a shared service for Continuing Health care (CHC Shared Service) across 5 CCGs that managed:
Appeals
Complaints coordination
Performance reporting
Education/Professional Development
Responsibility for managing current requests for assessment and funding through CHC returned to the individual CCGs. The CHC Shared Service continues to manage appeals relating to current patients from those CCGs covered and coordinates data reporting and complaints in line with the agreed service requirements. NHS England required all claims within the current PUPoC period to be completed by March 2017 with an aspiration to complete them sooner if possible. NHS Doncaster CCG, on behalf of the collaborative, committed to complete all cases by the end of January 2017. Additional resources were identified to support this commitment and with the exception of three cases, this was achieved. This was a significant achievement for the team and the collaborative.
8
NHS England has indicated that there will be a further scheme opened for appellants to requests reviews for Previously Un-assessed Periods of Care. As such there is a need to maintain a team with sufficient capacity to undertake this. The formal guidance for this period is expected imminently from NHS England but it is expected to cover the period from 2012 onwards. The Governing Body previously approved in principle for NHS Doncaster CCG to continue to host the PUPoC Shared service on behalf of the collaborative. The collaborative now includes 9 CCGs within Yorkshire and Humber. There was a mutual decision for the Leicester CCGs to withdraw from the collaborative at the end of March 2017. The CHC Shared Service was reviewed and the 5 CCGs committed to continue with the current model albeit with some alteration in relation to some of the Professional leadership and education functions. Both shared services will continue to operate out of their current Base at 722 Prince of Wales Road, Sheffield which is the NHS Sheffield CCG headquarters. A new Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) will need to be agreed across the collaborative for all parts of the shared services. CCGs have agreed in principle to the staffing model and final finance modelling is underway to finalise the detail within the MOU. The costs of the service are shared by all CCGs within the collaborative and it has been agreed that the methodology for determining the cost split is to use CCG population size. Mrs Tingle requested that the Governing Body note the contents of the paper and the on-going progress in relation to the hosted services. Mrs Whittle queried if any challenges had arisen in the management of the team located remotely in Sheffield. Mrs Tingle reported that there are complexities with the team being off site however they were consulted on whether they wished to remain at Sheffield and as many reside there they wished to remain. Mr Russell visits the team on a regular basis; they are included in the Organisational Development sessions, Staff Briefings and were invited to the NHS Doncaster CCG Christmas Lunch in December 2016. Dr Britten queried if there are alternatives for hosting the service for other CCGs. Mrs Tingle explained that there are other organisations which can provide a service however the cost is in excess of what NHS Doncaster CCG can deliver. The CCG has received a formal approval from NHS England to host the services in parallel with the Lead Provider Framework. The Governing Body gave its support to the on-going process in relation to the hosted services.

10. Quality & Performance Report Mrs Leighton stated that the Quality and Performance Report was for noting by the Governing Body and would answer questions as required. Mrs Whittle observed that the response rate in respect of patient experience feedback within the Friends and Family Test (FFT) for both Doncaster and Bassetlaw Teaching Hospitals Foundation Trust (DBTHFT) and Rotherham Doncaster and South Humber NHS Foundation Trust (RDaSH) were lower than the national average and queried what action the Trusts were taking to ensure improvements are made. Mrs Leighton stated that there have been a number of attempts for completion of the FFT trialled within the A&E department at the beginning and end of the patient’s attendance and whilst they are waiting to be attended to however it has been difficult to obtain feedback as the patients are keen to be seen and return home. One possibility is the use of IT but there are uncertainties of how feedback may be captured using this method. Co-Create were commissioned to review the service in the A&E department and detailed their suggestions for improvement within their report which has been considered by the Engagement & Experience Committee (EEC). Mrs Leighton agreed to address the issue in the Strategic Contracting meetings. Dr Oakford enquired what actions were being taken by Fylde Coast Medical Services (FCMS) regarding the GP Out of Hours Home Visits. All consultations are to be completed within 1 hour and are all IT based. Mrs Leighton reported that it is difficult to gain a good understanding regarding home visits to patients as we receive intelligence in respect of initial triage outcomes however we do not receive details of exceptions. Mrs Leighton agreed to investigate this further. Dr Jones assured the Governing Body that the Quality & Patient Safety Committee is actively challenging DBHTFT and there is significant engagement with the Trust on such issues. Looked After Children Report Mrs Cookson presented the Looked After Children (LAC) report to the Governing Body and stated that she had been asked by the Corporate Parenting Board in her role as Designated Nurse to prepare the report together with the Designated Doctor for Looked After Children. It was also presented to the Executive Committee on 4th January 2017. As commissioners of high quality, safe healthcare, NHS Doncaster CCG has a responsibility for ensuring the timely and effective delivery of health services to Looked After Children and Young People; this is through effective commissioning arrangements and partnership working.

Over the last 2 years a mixed model of DBHTFT (children aged 0-5ys) and GPs (children aged 5-18yrs) have been completing the Initial Health Assessment (IHAs), due to changes in staffing and vacancies this model has resulted in a decline of IHA completed in 20 working days however a new service has been commissioned which commenced on 1st January 2017. To enhance this service, the LAC Nursing Team from RDASH will be offering a holistic assessment to all children to capture the voice of the child and provide the opportunity to explore sexual health, and risk taking behaviours. This model should provide us with a robust service going forward. Looked After Children were involved in the design of their own unique Your Opinion Counts feedback questionnaire which is issued to them following their review Health Assessment. This enables us to gauge how useful children and young people found talking to a nurse about their health. The responses were measured among children aged 11+ using a sliding scale 0 -10, 10 being high. The comments received from the children were all positive in nature. Mrs Cookson reported that the Corporate Parenting Board has queried whether additional membership from NHS Doncaster CCG on the Board would be possible and requested that the Governing Body give consideration to who could attend with her. Dr Crichton thanked Mrs Cookson for attending the meeting and stated that consideration will be given to who may attend the Corporate Parenting Board in the future. The Governing Body noted the report and supported the recommendations within the report. The Governing Body noted the Quality & Performance report.
11. Finance Report Mrs Tingle stated that the Finance Report was for noting by the Governing Body however wished to highlight that NHS Doncaster CCG is currently forecasting to achieve all of its financial targets for 2016/17. NHS Doncaster CCG set aside £4.8m, (1% of the CCG’s recurrent allocation) as per the business rules, for non-recurrent investment. However, the CCG had to ring-fence this funding to provide funds to insulate the wider health economy from financial risk. It has now been confirmed that this funding will not be released to CCG’s for utilisation due to the wider NHS England financial position. Mrs Tingle presented the high level Summary of 2017/2018 Budget Book to the Governing Body for approval and explained that the preparation of the book has been completed earlier this year. Mrs Tingle highlighted the following points:
The total budget for 2017/2018 is £491m compared to £490m in 2016/2017.
Resources available to use is limited.
The growth amount allocated has been offset by the Acute Tariff.
11
NHS Doncaster CCG has £11.6m efficiency savings to achieve. Miss Morris queried if, as a Governing Body, we are being challenging enough in respect of our efficiency savings. Mrs Tingle welcomed additional challenge and stated that NHS England is also challenging our efficiency savings. Category M drugs are set at a national level and NHS England has benefitted in previous years however CCGs have benefitted from this cohort of drugs this year. Dr Suckling queried when it was anticipated that the Governing Body would see evidence of the Delivery Plans delivering against the £11.6m efficiency savings. Mrs Tingle acknowledged that we need to be robust and try to build in mitigation. The Governing Body approved the high level Budget Book Summary for 2017/18.
12. Chair and Chief Officer Report Mrs Pederson reported that the Chair and Chief Officer report was for noting however highlighted that Mrs Atkins Whatley would present a proposal regarding a change to the Constitution for consideration by the Governing Body. Mrs Atkins Whatley explained that our Constitution currently contains, as appendices, the Terms of Reference for each of the Committees of the Governing Body. As the Terms of Reference are included in the Constitution, any minor updates have to be consulted upon with our Member Practices. This increases the administrative burden placed upon on Member Practices because we have to consult them more frequently on minor matters. A number of CCGs have taken the decision to remove the Terms of Reference of Committees and instead place them on their website so that they can be updated on a more “live” basis. To reduce the administrative burden upon our Member Practices, it is recommended that the Terms of Reference for each of the Committees of the Governing Body be removed from the Constitution and placed on our website alongside the Constitution. Any changes to Committee Terms of Reference are already subject to Governing Body approval, on which Member Practices are represented by elected Locality Leads. Mrs Atkins Whatley requested that the Governing Body consider this proposal, and make any resulting recommendations to our Member Practices for their consideration. Miss Morris queried the notice period for the amendment. Dr Crichton stated that the Membership will be consulted on the change; more complex modifications will be presented to the Governing Body in the first instance then to the Membership in the future. Mrs Atkins Whatley suggested that she could visit Localities if necessary.
12
The Governing Body agreed the proposal to make the recommendation to our Member Practices for their consideration. The Governing Body noted the report.
Mrs Atkins Whatley

14. Standing Orders (SOs), Standing Financial Instructions (SFIs) & Scheme of Delegation (SoD) Mrs Tingle reported that as part of its role, the Audit Committee reviews the Standing Orders (SOs), Standing Financial Instructions
13
(SFIs) and Scheme of Delegation (SoD) on an annual basis, making any recommendations for amendments to the Governing Body. The document has been reviewed by the Chief Finance Officer and the Chief of Corporate Services from both a financial and governance perspective and the following amendments are recommended:
Change Quality & Safety Committee to Quality & Patient Safety Committee.
Change Delivery & Performance Committee to Executive Committee and amend the delegated roles.
Add reference within the Standing Orders and Scheme of Delegation to the Joint Committee of CCGs which has been established for the Working Together programme.
Remove reference to the obsolete NHS England definition of relevant and material interests, and replace with reference to the CCG’s Standards of Business Conduct & Conflicts of Interest Policy.
Add reference to the role of the Conflict of Interest Guardian.
Remove references to the Audit Commission.
Updating of Section 17 on Tendering and Contracting in line with the latest national guidance.
The Audit Committee considered these amendments at its meeting on 9th March 2017 and recommended the amendments to Governing Body for approval. Mrs Tingle requested that the Governing Body consider and approve the recommended amendments. Dr Tupper referred to Pages 3 and 4 of the document, Items 1.2.5 and 1.2.20, ‘Chair of the CCG’ and ‘Locality Lead’ respectively and highlighted that the individuals are elected and not appointed into the role. Mrs Atkins Whatley acknowledged the wording should change and agreed to amend the document accordingly. Dr Tupper also referred to Page 19, Items 6.11 and 6.11.1 and queried why ‘Patient’ had been added to the Quality & Safety Committee and commented that the safety element should not be confined to patient safety. Dr Jones explained that the majority of the reports received by the Committee relate specifically to patient safety. Mrs Atkins Whatley confirmed that the Membership had also agreed that the Committee be re-named. The Governing Body considered and approved the recommended amendments. It will be implemented from 1 April 2017.

JOINT COMMITTEE OF CLINICAL COMMISSIONING GROUPS
18 April 2017 1. Summary Commissioners Working Together (CWT) is a collaborative of eight clinical commissioning groups and NHS England across South and Mid Yorkshire, Bassetlaw and North Derbyshire. CWT works with all local hospitals and care providers, staff and patient groups to understand how best to ensure that everyone experiences the highest quality and safest services possible across the region’s combined population of 2.8 million people. In 2016, CWT carried out a review of children’s surgery and anaesthesia services and hyper acute stroke services across the region. Pre-consultation engagement took place between January – April 2016 as part of this review, during which CWT gathered the views of key stakeholders, including patients and the public, to inform plans for the future of services. Following this engagement, CWT proposed changes for both children’s surgery and anaesthesia and hyper acute stroke services that aim to use what is available in the best possible way to get the best services for everyone. For children’s surgery and anaesthesia, three options have been developed and put forward for consideration, including CWT’s preferred option. For hyper acute stroke services, one option has been developed and put forward for consideration. The consultation to get the views of patients, public and others with an interest in these issues was launched on 3 October 2016 and ran until 14 February 2017. The original closing date for the consultation of 20 January 2017 was extended to take account of the Christmas period and to allow as many people as possible to take part in the consultation. The attached report is an independent analysis of the responses to the consultation received during this period. 2. Key issues The consultation process The following channels were provided for people to respond to each of the consultations throughout the consultation period:
Online consultation questionnaire hosted on the Commissioners Working Together website http://www.smybndccgs.nhs.uk. The survey included some closed questions to measure levels of support around the service options proposed and a number of open questions around the proposals to allow respondents to express views in their own words. Information about demographics and the context in which people were responding to the consultation were also asked for sub-group analysis.
Paper surveys were also available which contained the same questions as the online survey with a freepost return option. There were no requests for translation into additional languages. Easy Read versions of the survey were also available.
Meetings and events – a number of public events, stakeholder meetings, staff meetings and discussion groups were held during the consultation period.
Submissions in the form of letters and petitions could be submitted to the consultation by post or by email.
Representative telephone survey – a telephone survey of 740 local residents, broadly representative by geography and demographics, was conducted across South and Mid Yorkshire, Bassetlaw and North Derbyshire.
Online poll – a short poll was devised at the mid-point stage (following analysis that the narrative was complex and it was difficult to engage people on the issues). The results do not inform the main survey analysis and are simply intended to provide further data on people’s opinions.
Communications and engagement activity Commissioners Working Together (CWT), each of the CCGs and provider organisations developed tailored communications and engagement plans for the consultations in their local areas. North Derbyshire CCG and Hardwick CCG agreed to conduct joint engagement activities. An overview of the range of channels and engagement opportunities for the consultations is below.
Digital communications and engagement through dedicated webpages, which were established and updated throughout the consultation period, banners and links through to the CWT website. 8,318 unique visitors used the CWT website during the consultation period, with more than 62,000 page visits to the specific consultation webpages.
Broadcast and print media releases with a local, regional and national reach, resulting in 13 pieces of media coverage about the consultations between October 2016 – February 2017 and a further 6 pieces in the lead up to the consultation.
Social media using Commissioners Working Together’s Twitter and Facebook profiles. Tweets about the consultations generated more than 55,000 impressions and CWT’s 21 Facebook posts reached 16,991 people and saw 939 users take action (including clicking a link, liking, commenting or sharing a post).
Public consultation events took place locally in Barnsley, Bassetlaw, Doncaster, North Derbyshire and Hardwick and Sheffield.
Specific interest engagement via email, hard copies of the consultation documents and meetings with groups with an interest in stroke and children’s targeted across each local area.
Seldom heard group engagement via email, hard copies of the consultation documents and discussion groups.
Stakeholder briefings including local MPs and councillors, Health and Wellbeing Board, Health Overviews and Scrutiny Committees.
Staff briefings via internal communications channels, newsletters, forums and groups
Hard copies of the consultation documents, postcards and flyers distributed to hospitals, GP practices, libraries and children’s centres, dental practices, campaign groups, town halls, community venues and organisations and at public events. 50,000 copies of the consultation document were printed and distributed on request and through these channels.
Consultation responses A total of 1109 responses were received for the consultation to change hyper acute stroke services and 1268 responses for the consultation to change children’s surgery and anaesthesia services.

* shows where one response covers both consultation issues 3. Headline findings For the children’s surgery and anaesthesia services consultation, three options have been developed and put forward for consideration, including CWT’s preferred option. For the hyper acute stroke services consultation, one option has been developed and put forward for consideration.
Attitudes towards the proposals in each of these consultation areas were consistent across the different ways in which people responded so are summarised thematically by service area below. Children’s surgery and anaesthesia services Respondents were asked whether they agreed or disagreed with the proposal to change the way children’s surgery and anaesthesia services and were asked to explain the reasons behind their expressed view. The table shows that respondents tend to agree with the proposed changes (63% of telephone survey respondents agree and 43% of self-selecting survey respondents agree). However, there are over a third of self-selecting respondents (39%) who disagree with the proposals compared to 13% of randomly selected telephone survey respondents.

Total 488 100% 740 100% Higher levels of disagreement tend to come from Barnsley, Bassetlaw, Wakefield, North Derbyshire and Hardwick. All of these areas are particularly impacted by proposed changes to Barnsley Hospital and Chesterfield Royal Hospital. There were over a third of self-selecting respondents (39%) who disagreed with the proposals compared to 13% of randomly selected telephone survey respondents. There were higher levels of disagreement with the proposals from self-selecting consultation survey respondents. These responses tended to come from Barnsley, Bassetlaw, Wakefield, North Derbyshire and Hardwick. Where people disagreed, themes were:
Not being able to access high quality care closer to home
Impact on patient outcomes and patient safety
Other concerns (if staffing is an issue, this should not impact on patients and families, some people had had good experiences and could not see the need for change and some were sceptical about the motivation for change)
Where people agreed, themes were:
Better quality of care and better health outcomes for children
Fairer and equal access to the best services
More effective allocation of resources
Trust in NHS locally
A number of respondents felt they could not comment on the proposed changes (especially from the telephone survey where respondents had been less likely to have been aware of the consultation or have read the consultation document). The options People were asked which of the options they preferred through a closed question and to explain their reasons why through an open question. The table below shows that almost one in four consultation survey respondents (23%) did not agree with any of the options. 42% of these support option 1. Conversely, with telephone survey respondents, 64% state that option 2 is their preferred option. This is also the preferred option of CWT.

Almost one in four consultation survey respondents (23%) did not agree with any of the options
42% of consultation survey respondents supported option 1
Telephone survey respondents 64% stated that option 2 was their preferred option
The highest lack of support for these options came from consultation respondents in the Barnsley area
The highest level of support for option 1 was from North Derbyshire Alternative suggestions People were also asked if there were other options they would like CWT to consider. The majority of people did not have alternative suggestions. Of those who did, the key alternatives raised were:
A plea to keep things as they are
To have centres in all of the areas
Keeping services at Barnsley District General Hospital (most commonly cited)
Just have one place specialist children’s hospital
Isolated cases for services to be offered at Bassetlaw and Rotherham
4. Hyper acute stroke services Respondents were asked whether they agreed or disagreed with the three centre option to change the way hyper acute stroke services were provided.
The table below shows that there is mixed response to this question. 54% of self-selecting consultation survey respondents disagree with this option and 50% of telephone survey responses agree with it.

Total 340 100% 740 100% The patterns of agreement were similar across both survey channels – a) paper and online survey (self selecting responses) and b) telephone survey (taking a random representative sample of the population) - except for Bassetlaw, Sheffield and Wakefield where the majority of self-selecting consultation survey respondents disagreed with the three centre option compared to the telephone survey respondents in those areas. There were high levels of support for the three centre option in Doncaster and North Derbyshire and Hardwick (which cover hospitals where the hyper acute stroke services are being proposed). There was low level of support for this option in the Barnsley CCG area. Where people disagreed, themes were:
Not being able to access high quality care quickly and patient safety
Social impact
Other concerns (lack of funding for the NHS, wish to have a centre in local area so could access high quality care, additional pressure on the ambulance service)
Where people agreed, themes were:
Quick and easy access to high quality care
Better quality of care and improved health outcomes
More effective allocation of resources
Other comments (support for Chesterfield to be one of the three centres, positive personal experiences at the Royal Hallamshire Hospital and a small number of respondents said they trusted the commissioners to make the right decision)
A number of respondents felt they could not comment on the proposed changes (especially from the telephone survey where respondents had been less likely to have been aware of the consultation or have read the consultation document). Alternative suggestions Almost half of the consultation survey respondents had alternative suggestions to make. The majority were making the case for Barnsley District General Hospital to have a hyper acute stroke unit to make sure that local people could have quick access to time-critical care. The other main suggestions were to have a hyper acute stroke unit in every hospital and to start investing in the right calibre of staff to make this happen.
5. Concluding comments As with all public consultations, the response cannot be seen as representative of the population but it is representative of interested parties who were made aware of the consultation and were motivated to respond. Within the analysis we cannot be clear the extent to which responses are informed by the supporting information that has been provided. The telephone survey was undertaken with a randomly selected and representative cross-section of residents to ensure that the consultation process accurately captured the views of the wider population of South and Mid Yorkshire, Bassetlaw and North Derbyshire. A consistent picture emerges from the different strands of the consultation. There is mixed support for many of the proposals outlined in the consultation document including the preferred options for the purpose of the consultation. Potential changes to services, particularly where loss of services are involved, understandably cause apprehension among those who may be affected. There has been clear and vocal opposition where this is potentially the case (for example, in the Barnsley area). The main concern highlighted across all consultation strands is the impact on the ability to patients and families to access high quality care closer to home if specialised centres are introduced. It is important to recognise that the outcomes of the consultation process will need to be considered alongside other information available about the likely impact of each of the proposed options. The purpose of the analysis is to explain the opinions and arguments of those who have responded to the consultation but it is not to recommend any option or variations of these options. In their deliberations, the members of JC CCG will review the evidence and considerations that have emerged during consultation while also taking account of all the other relevant evidence that will help them make their final decisions. The independent analysis is being shared with relevant steering groups, the Joint Overview and Scrutiny Committee and will also be widely available to the public, staff and stakeholders on the CWT website. 6. Recommendations The Joint Committee of Clinical Commissioning Groups will be asked to consider the independent analysis in advance of the May Decision Making Business Case.

INTRODUCTION This report sets out the key quality and performance issues to be noted by the NHS Doncaster Clinical Commissioning Group (NHS Doncaster CCG) Governing Body using February data unless noted. The report covers 4 main sections this month:
Provider Performance - main local healthcare providers
Other services commissioned by NHS Doncaster CCG
NHS Constitution measures
Items for escalation regarding Local Delivery Plan in year delivery
The report is supported by a detailed appendix (Appendix 1) which highlights performance for NHS Doncaster CCG and all local providers with regards to the main performance indicators.
SECTION 1: PROVIDER PERFORMANCE REPORT
The following section of the report details performance for each main local provider, namely DBTHFT and RDASH. Performance is across a range of quality and more traditional “performance” measures. As such the report includes performance as a whole for DBTHFT and Doncaster sites for RDASH, and does not simply relate to services commissioned by NHS Doncaster CCG.

Ophthalmology
Rheumatology Key issues during the month have been:
workforce/capacity to meet demand along with the productivity of clinics and list underutilisation due to withheld theatre slots for training.
cancellations due to bed availability.
Growing PTL due to time involved to validate patients having doubled (CaMIS)
Failing to book in chronological order
Validation below 18 weeks is identifying an error rate of over 30%
Lack of pathway management support in Care Groups.
There are a number of actions underway which have been previously reported including:
Secure additional capacity both internally and externally through outsourcing
Turnaround sessions planned with each Care Group commencing 18/01/17
To ensure chronological booking of patients to support RTT delivery
Collaboration with CCG on referral management and support in reducing demand
Workforce Business Case/Requests by specialty

The general surgery breach first occurred in December but was not identified until Unify reporting in February. In addition to this a further breach for a Doncaster CCG patient was identified in ENT for the January reporting period. One ENT and the GI patient have been scheduled to be treated in March 2017, with the 2
nd ENT patient schedules for early April. A
Breach report has been completed and shared with commissioners. The ENT department has received targeted training and have appointed to a post to look specifically at pathway management in ENT.

within 4 hours. Quarter 4 performance was 88.9% with the year as a total 91.4% Pressures have continued with internal waits in both EDs due to the shortage of medical staff. The bed position has improved through March which can be seen in the improved 95
th percentile time for admitted patients to 10:35 hours
from 12:59 hours in February. A Doncaster Urgent Care Improvement Plan has been developed and shared with the System Resilience Group and the A&E Delivery Board. This includes a recovery trajectory for A&E 4 hour performance and actions aligned to national initiatives and the CCG Delivery Plan, spanning attendance avoidance, patient flow in the ED, admission avoidance, patient flow in hospital and the discharge process.

Cancer Summary The Two week wait from referral to date first seen: all urgent cancer referrals and 62 day wait for first treatment from NHS cancer screening services both failed to meet target during January 2017. Key issues are patient choice and the Trust’s staffing capacity in dermatology, urology and gynaecology. The issues in dermatology and gynaecology are directly related to staff sickness. In regards to the 2 week wait measure, patients are contacted when they cancel their appointment within 14 days in order to highlight the importance of
11
been seen at the earliest possible date. Patient choice is still counted as a breach. Work is ongoing to improve 62 day waiting times standards including:
Monitoring via flagging at days 28, 30 and 50
Individual breach reports discussed with MDT to embed learning, and also analysed with the CCG and Clinical Lead
Capacity and Demand modelling both within Care Groups and in conjunction with the CCG
Trust and CCG joint involvement in the Cancer Alliance and work streams

CQUINs
2016/17
1 Patient Safety Achieved Q3
This CQUIN was developed to ensure patient safety is maintained and improved based on 15/16 attainment. The target areas are as follows – Process reliability measurement and improvements in safety critical steps:
Prevention of delayed diagnosis in ED
Ensuring the results of tests and investigations are appropriately acted upon
Reducing avoidable falls by demonstrating assessment, care management plans and actions are completed
Managing deterioration Outcome measure and improvement of prevention of falls
5% Reduction in repeat fallers
Any reduction in avoidable harm with reduced death and severe harm from in-patient falls and to establish a moderate harm baseline
Follow up of SI investigations including an audit to include follow up of investigations in relation to falls, to understand where problems have occurred and to measure how changes have reduced falls based on investigation outcomes. The effectiveness for prevention in delayed diagnosis in ED will be illustrated via a reduced rate of SIs via:
Audits
Investigation of IT systems
Missed fracture reporting
Education
Process mapping The work in ED (prevention of delayed diagnosis in ED) continues to focus on reducing misdiagnosis of fractures or other imaging findings and the tables below show that there have been no serious incidents and those that have consist of a mixture of issues related to ED activity and demand.

A working group has been established for improving compliance of following up from tests which shows 80% of the ICE system results being read on the system with some printed reports still being used. Plans were made to connect ICE to CAMIS and this is proving useful. Additionally a pop up message has been introduced on the electronic system for all users when they sign in and warns the user of their duty to comply with policy to review tests and act on results. There was 1 SI reported in Q2 from an incident that occurred in 2011. Incidents for Q1 and 2 are shown below.

A policy for enhanced care assessment and support has been developed and approved, with the clinical records committee review of the updated falls care plan and the enhanced care assessment tool being taken forward with design to prepare for the implementation roll out. The falls action plan has been presented to the Acute Clinical Quality Review Group. The implementation plan is to be rolled out to all adult areas and is scheduled for 1st March. MSK&F care group and Bassetlaw site have already implemented the tool, as piloted and developed across these areas. 88%(Q1) and 90% (Q2) and 86% (Q3) of incidents reported about deterioration were reported as having no harm. The monitoring of vital signs is being changed to focus on clinical observation safety steps with a separate fluid balance chart completion. This is part of an improvement change to support sepsis and AKI management identified from learning from past serious incidents.

Repeat fallers are below trajectory based on 15/16. In quarter 1 there were 31 repeat falls and in Q2 there were 29 and in Q3 there were 31 which are all below the trajectory set at 40. All severe harm and death from falls are reported as a serious incident and to date there have been 6 reported. The Trust is also identifying patients who have fallen and have a diagnosis of Dementia. This is between 5 – 10% month on month and data over past years has shown a statistically significant reduction in the number of falls in this patient group. In the first 2 quarters there have been 31 falls for patients with Dementia across the 3 Trust sites. Follow up of SI investigations and audits have identified themes and trends which are shown below:
Falls risk assessment compliance
Documentation of risk and patient management plans
Post fall management issues
Falls risk assessment tool deficit The Trust are forecast to achieve Q4 milestone
2 End Of Life Achieved Q3
Joint MDT reviews continue to be undertaken on a monthly basis and has a wide membership which has included attendance from a GP and Care Home Manager. The MDT form has been reviewed to capture whether patients have accessed acute and either Dementia, Children’s Community, Mental Health or LD services. The joint MDT meetings continue to be beneficial on other areas of joint working such as:
Improving general communication and professional working relationships
Raising awareness of services between professionals and providers
Raising awareness of the skill set in each part of the pathway
Informing the service review process Action logs continue to be developed, reviewed and moved forward. Themes identified are as follows:
Communication
Documentation
Systems
Patient Transfers
Staff Education
Medication Within Q3 there was a discussion of a case that had been brought to the attention by the CCG and in doing so enabled a thorough review of multifactorial elements and was an excellent example of the kind of progress this group has made. The Trust are forecast to achieve Q4 milestone
3 Discharge Pathways Achieved Q3
The CQUIN has continued from last year where a Community Nursing form was developed and implemented. The process for information sharing was agreed between providers and the interface between organisational patient record systems is being discussed as part of the local digital roadmap work stream. The review of the audit/case note review tool continues to be undertaken where themes and trends have been identified and fed through to an action log which is taken forward by the multi-disciplinary team. In quarter one the Older Peoples Mental Health and Learning Disability business divisions from RDASH inputted into the group and are currently reviewing the documentation to ensure their patients are fully considered as part of the MDT process.
15
The group have continued to update the directory of services (which include referral information) which provides staff with information on where to signpost patients and carers to relevant services. This includes voluntary sectors and is being broadened to include Learning Disability and Older Peoples Services. This has been shared and published further throughout the Trust DBHFT in conjunction with RDASH have developed an education plan and training pack which is delivered by the Discharge Planning Team Sister. Staff have attended sessions and work is starting on developing an e-learning package. The discharge passport launched as part of the 2015 CQUIN informs patients and carers of the discharge process and views are obtained via a post discharge follow up telephone call. An audit of this is currently being undertaken. Views of patient carers and staff are also gained from patient experience reports and feedback processes. Staff log formal feedback in Datix and retain copies of the positive feedback in professional portfolios. The Trust are forecast to achieve the Q4 milestone

Achieved Q3
The Trust have provided a plan to promote 3 main initiatives
Introducing a range of physical activity schemes for staff
Improving physiotherapy services for staff
Introducing a range of mental health initiatives for staff. The CCG provided some feedback on this plan which included the need for set trajectories in year. This feedback has been acted upon and the plan has been signed off. The Trust submitted a national data return to UNIFY which provided information on a number of areas in relation to food provided to patients, staff and visitors. This included:
Franchises
Suppliers of vendors
Type of sales outlet
Supplier contract dates, values and finance information
Profit share agreements
Volume of sugar sweetened beverages The Trust have early reported that they have achieved over 75% of front line staff having received a flu vaccination this year and therefore met the target ahead of the Q3 milestone. They have been approached by several other Trusts to share
16
their process given the high success rate they have achieved. The Trust are forecast to achieve the Q4 milestone

7 National Cancer 62 Days Achieved Q2
The Trust achieved 85% for Q3 against a trajectory of 85% for patient’s first treatment from Urgent GP referral within 62 days. Root cause analysis has been undertaken on long wait cases (more than 104 days) and clinical review has also been undertaken. No serious incidents have been identified as part of this process. Below is the data provided by the Trust. Clinical views sought have not identified any change to treatment intent, therefore, no apparent harm has been identified. To help improve the output from this process, the clinical harm outcome review will be altered to allocate a code to the outcome. These are:
No apparent harm at the time of review
No preventable harm – safe clinical practice with complex pathway and treatment
Treatment intent has changed The Trust are forecast to achieve Q4 milestone
8 NATIONAL Antimicrobial Resistance Achieved Q3
The data for 14/15 and 15/16 has been submitted onto the National dataset system. The most recent prescribing data shows that the: Total antibiotic consumption per 1000 admissions is 7.28% fewer. Total consumption of carbapenem per 1000 admissions is 1.24% higher, however it should be taken into account that the Trust already had a very low baseline and although there is a slight increase the Trust prescribe 31.3% less against England average and are well below the national average. Total consumption of piperacillin-tazobactam per 1000 admissions is 6.65% fewer. This is a quarter 4 payment based on a 1% reduction at year end. Additionally 72 hour review trajectories have been set nationally. The table below shows the attainment each quarter.

18
Thirty five patients were discharged in December; 13 were not admitted within 4 hours, 4 due to lack of stroke beds, 6 due to pathway issues mainly related to transfer from Bassetlaw District General Hospital and 3 due to the patients’ conditions. The stroke pathway process has been reviewed to improve direct access for CT Angiography and a new assessment area in the Emergency Department for stroke assessment is being identified. The number of direct access beds for hyper acute stroke is being increased across the stroke unit. Pathways for the stroke service out of the hospital to Mexborough Montagu Hospital and early supported discharge are being reviewed to ensure adequate bed capacity.

Performance has improved for visits with February 2017’s figures higher than at the same point last year. Face to face 1 hour visit: 1 case was not seen within time however this was incorrectly recorded as a red priority and should have been a green priority and would have met target. Face to face 2 hour visit: 10 cases were not seen within time due to capacity available within the ECP service. Due to the high volume of work load of ECPs, visits that have been given an amber or red priority by GP should not be passed to ECP and the GP themselves will now do these visits. This is due to both workload and priority of the patient. Same Day Health Centre

Amber and red performance for February 2017 is higher than at the same point in 2016. Face to face 1 hour: 4 cases were recorded as not seen within time due to a mixture of patient choice, appointment availability and clinician delay. Face to face seen within 2 hours: 33 cases were recorded as not seen within time:
Eighteen of the cases that are over the two hour period may have either been
the first available appointment or due to patient choice. All cases were
completed with a green priority.
Two due to reporting issues and should not have been recorded as breaches
Twelve cases were due to clinical delay of ranging from a 49 second delay to
a 37 minute delay.
One case breached due to the patient going to the wrong location

YAS is continuing to participate in NHS England’s Ambulance Response Programme (ARP) pilot. The next stage, Phase 2.2, has been developed by listening to feedback from ambulance staff, GPs, healthcare professionals (HCPs) and patients and was implemented from 20 October 2016.
This revised process will give four main options for ambulance responses:
27
Cardiac arrest or peri-arrest (Purple response standard - within 8 minutes) Life-threatening emergency (Amber response standard - within 19 minutes) Serious but not life-threatening emergency (Yellow response standard - within
40 minutes) Non-emergency (Green response standard - 1 to 4 hours)

The initial meeting for this review has been held and an independent chair has been appointed. The GP records for this review have now been obtained from Capita. The health input into this case is minimal therefore a summary is required rather than a full Individual Management Review.
There has been a further Domestic Homicide Review commissioned during March 2017. The initial meeting has been held and an independent chair has been appointed. It has been agreed that the chair for both Domestic Homicide Reviews will be the same person in order for the reviews to run in parallel. The GP records for this review have been received.

Cancer 62 Day Referral to Treatment: Improvement Update
April Governing Body Meeting
Incidence of Cancer in Doncaster is higher than the
national average, and has been increasing. Yet,
One Year Survival has improved each year, and
under 75 mortality, whilst above the national
average, has also reduced over time.
Incidence rate
Incidence of Cancer has increased from 598 cases per
100,000 population in 2001 to 659 cases in 2014.
One-year survival (Net survival index for adults). One
Year survival has increased from 59.7% surviving after
one year in 1999 to 68.9% surviving in 2014.
Under 75 Mortality
Mortality in under 75s has reduced from 208.3 per
100,000 population in 2002 to 180.3 in 2014 (however
coding prior to 2011 means the data is not directly
comparable prior to 2011. 2011 mortality was 188.4).
Over 10,000 2WW referrals have been made
each year for Doncaster patients since 2014/15,
and over 1800 patients had a first treatment in
2015/16.
2WW referrals including Breast
Symptomatic increased up to
2015/16, however they have
reduced by 108 in 2016/17
compared to the same period last
year.
April to February data has been used for all
years to provide a fair comparison to
2016/17.
First treatments have also reduced
in 2016/17 compared to the same
period last year by 188, and are 46
lower than 2014/15 and 26 lower
than 2013/14.
108
188
DCCG 62 day performance has not met the
standard since Q3 2013/14 and is currently below
the England average performance
However Doncaster patients treated by
DBTHFT have met the 62 day standard
every quarter back to Q1 15/16
Doncaster patients
treated by STHFT
are not treated
within the standard,
and this has
deteriorated.
Note: This needs to be taken in
context of the complexity of
patients treated locally vs the
Tertiary Centre, and the reasons
for delays to treatment
Analysis of breaches shows the largest reported
reason was due to referrals for treatment being
made late in the pathway from DBTHFT to STHFT
(63 patients (53% of breaches) year to date).
To improve this, the SYBND Cancer Alliance are in
the process of agreeing an Inter Provider Transfer
Policy. The policy sets out the process and content of
a referral to the tertiary centre.
This is supplemented with new
national breach allocation guidance
(left), which better incentivises both
the referring and treating provider to
ensure the patient is treated within 62
days.
This aims to clarify what work up is
needed for each tumour group in the
referring Trust, to make the referral
more streamlined and efficient, and
by what day in the pathway the
referral will be made.
More detailed breach analysis has identified that
delays within DBTHFT mainly relate to first
outpatient appointment and diagnostic waits.
April 2016 to January 2017
65% of patients not treated in 62 days YTD
had a first outpatient appointment 10 days+
after referral (whilst the standard is 2 weeks,
patients being seen as close to 7 days as
possible supports a timely pathway).
52% of patients not treated in 62 days had a delay to their treatment starting following MDT
discussion.
60% of patients not treated in 62 days YTD had a wait for diagnostics, where
either the test was more than a week after the outpatient appointment, there were delays between tests, or the histology
was delayed. The largest cause was MRI, followed by CT delays.
Please Note: This analysis shows patients who were
not treated in 62 days and each patient may have had
multiple reasons for the delay to starting treatment.
Only 20% of patients not treated in 62 days had a
delay in the MDT discussion taking place.
However patients with the following Tumour groups are the lowest proportion treated in 62 days Q1-3 16/17: Head and Neck, Lung, Urology and Lower GI.
When looking at specific tumour groups, Doncaster Patients with Breast, Gynaecological, Skin, Upper GI and Other tumour groups are being treated within the standard.

Risk analysis
The CCG identified a number of risks as part of the Financial planning for 2016/17. These included:
Prescribing and High Cost Drugs Expenditure
Over performance against the main acute contracts
Individual Placements
Non delivery of parts of the Efficiency Savings programme
A small contingency fund which equates to 0.5% of the CCG’s allocation was set aside to mitigate against these risks as required by the business rules. It has not been possible to flex investment reserves due to the national ring fencing of the 1% headroom and
therefore should the contingency fund not be sufficient the CCG will have to increase efficiencies, seek to risk share with other
organisations or seek additional support from NHS England.

NHS DONCASTER CCG 2016/17 FINANCE REPORT MONTH 11 - FEBRUARY 2017 1. Introduction
This report provides the financial position for NHS Doncaster CCG for 2016/17 as at the end of February (Month 11). The CCG is forecasting to achieve all of its financial targets for 2016/17. 2. Current Position The year to date position reflects a surplus of £7,107k which is consistent with the year to date target of £7,079k. The annual target is a surplus of £7,722 which the CCG is forecasting to achieve. The year to date and forecast position is summarised in the Operating Cost Statement included at Appendix 1. 3. Key Messages and Risks
The largest financial risks identified as part of the Financial Planning process were Prescribing and High Cost Drugs. Work to address the variations in both outcomes and costs will be taken forward as part of the Primary Care Strategy, specifically the medicine optimisation work. A prior approval process was initiated with the Acute Trust and implemented from 1st April 2016; this was to address any non-compliance with NICE guidance and correct charging through the PbR tariff mechanism. This is having a positive impact on costs. Other risks identified include the over performance on acute contracts, increased Individual placements ( including Continuing Healthcare , Specialist Placement and Section 117 packages) and the non-delivery of parts of the efficiency savings. If the efficiency savings fail to deliver there will be increased pressure on the CCGs statutory duty to breakeven. The pressures around Emergency and A&E activity are continuing within the DBH NHS FT contract. The contract is forecast to overspend by £2m. Some of the smaller contracts are also forecast to over perform including Sheffield Teaching Hospitals, Sheffield Children’s and Barnsley NHS FT. There are also some pressures in relation to S117 and Specialist Placement activity due to increased activity levels and cases being stepped down from NHS England, however some of this is offset by a reduction in Continuing Healthcare costs. This is being be closely monitored in year. An additional risk has arisen in year in relation to the nationally agreed rates for Funded Nursing Care (FNC) which has caused an additional cost pressure of approximately £600k. Following a national review, the rate has increased by 39% from £112 per week to £156.25 per week; the CCG has had no choice but to implement this rate. The further national review on the agency element of the FNC has now been completed and will have no further impact in 2016/17. However a
4
slight reduction to the rate has been agreed with effect from 1st April 2017 to £155.05. To help manage and offset the risks a small contingency fund of £2.2m was established. This equated to 0.5% of the CCG’s allocation and is in line with planning guidance. If this is insufficient the following actions would need to be considered;
Seeking further efficiencies and decommissioning opportunities
Risk sharing with other CCGs
Seeking repayable financial assistance from other NHS organisations
Seeking further support from NHS England In previous years flexing of investment funds have supported mitigation to manage unexpected risks however this is not an option for 2016/17. 4. Efficiency Savings Programme
All contract values negotiated with providers were net of efficiency saving targets where appropriate. A summary of the schemes, current progress and forecast are shown in Appendix 2. The Prescribing LES scheme was launched earlier in the year and all practices signed up to the scheme which started in August. The scheme aims to reduce overall spend across several areas of prescribing and rewards practices with a percentage of the savings made. Information is now available for the period August to October and overall costs have increased by £464k on the same period last year after adjusting for prices and population changes. Despite the overall increase a small number of practices have reduced spend and this has resulted in an estimated gain share payment of £18k. Further updates will be provided as more information becomes available from the BSA. Savings have materialised overall in the prescribing budget as it was set net of a £5.1m efficiency target and is only forecasting an overspend of £1.7m as at Month 11. However most of these savings are fortuitous and are linked to the nationally determined Cat M prices. Savings have also materialised in the DBH contract in relation to High Cost Drugs due to the impact of transferring patients onto bio-similars and the prior approval processes. There are also some savings against other elements of the contract due to activity being lower than expected in some areas, mainly outpatients, audiology and critical care. This equates to approximately £1.2m so far this year and a forecast of £1.5m. The continuation of the rigorous controls around CHC following the review in 2015/16, are continuing to have a positive impact on the financial position with estimated savings this year of £3.5m. The total savings achieved so far across all areas are approximately £7.4m with a forecast achievement of £8.4m against an original target of £8.8m.
5
5. 1% Non Recurrent Headroom The CCG set aside £4.8m, (1% of the CCG’s recurrent allocation) as per the business rules, for non-recurrent investment. However, the CCG had to ring-fence this funding to provide funds to insulate the wider health economy from financial risk. It has now been confirmed that this funding will not be released to CCG’s for utilisation due to the wider NHS England financial position but that CCG’s need to release this against their bottom line thus increasing their surplus. For NHS Doncaster CCG this will now mean reflecting a surplus of £12.5m rather than £7.7m in Month 12. 6. Further Allocations The CCG has not received any new allocations in Month 11. 7. Capital Resource

9. Better Care Fund The Better Care Fund is governed via the signed Section 75 Framework Agreement with Doncaster Council, the total pooled budget is £23,907k. Both the CCG’s £14.9m and the DMBC’s £7m are funded via the CCG’s allocation. The £14.9m is made up of historical CCG contracts which are linked to common priorities with the local authority. The £7m DMBC element is used jointly for shared priorities such as Intermediate Care. The Q3 position and forecast are summarised in Table 1 below, both are in line with budget. A summary of the overall budget by theme is also shown in Table 2 for information. Table 1 – Summary of budget by commissioner

The plans for 2017/18 are currently being developed; however as part of the Intermediate Care project providers will need time to take capacity and costs out of the system whilst transitioning to the new delivery models, therefore services will need a period of ‘double running’ to ensure safe and effective implementation to the
7
new models of care. This period of ‘double running’ whilst new services are properly established and appropriately staffed is critical to the success of the transformation programme and the BCF will be used to support this. 10. Primary Medical Care Delegated Commissioning The CCG assumed devolved responsibility for Primary Medical Care commissioning with effect from April 2016. The total allocation devolved from NHS England was £41m and expenditure is currently forecast to be contained within this budget. The financial position will be discussed regularly at the Primary Care Committee including developments for 2017/18 and implementation of the Primary Care Forward View. The CCG is currently developing an offer of a non-financial support package for vulnerable practices to enable them to become sustainable for the future. This will be taken forward through the Primary Care Committee. 11. Conclusion and Recommendations Members are asked to: Receive and note the Finance Report for February 2017 (Month 11).

Note: Risk assessed on the basis of management experience
A summary of the progress in each year is summarised below -
The prescribing LES has been launched and all practices have signed up to the scheme which started in August. Information is now available
for August to October and costs have increased by £464k overall, however a small number of practices have made some savings and therefore
an estimated payment of £18k will need to be made. It should also be noted that prescribing budgets were reduced by £5.1m this year and the
budgets are only forecast to overspend by £1.4m, the majority of this saving is linked to the nationally determined Cat M prices.
DBH Contract - savings in relation to High Cost Drugs are due to the move to Bio-similars and the prior approval processes.
Other savings in relation to outpatients and audiology are also materialising due to reduced activity in these areas together with a non recurrent
underspend against critical care activity.
Continuing Healthcare - the continuation of the rigorous controls following the review of criteria is continuing to have an impact with an expected
underspend of £3.5m this year.

Author(s) Sarah Atkins Whatley, Chief of Corporate Services Assurance Framework Risk Leads
Purpose of Paper - Executive Summary
Governing Body Assurance Framework Refresh 2017/18 Alongside the last Quarter’s Assurance Framework update, Members noted the formal feedback report from a Governing Body Assurance Framework Timeout session run by our Internal Auditors, which resulted in revised corporate objectives against which the Governing Body Assurance Framework is mapped, and a list of current and emerging strategic risks to the achievement of these objectives. A new template recommended by our Internal Auditors has been developed and is attached as Appendix A, populated with the risks identified at the Timeout. Existing risks being treated at year-end on our old Assurance Framework have been mapped across to the new Assurance Framework. In summary, the risks are: CO 1 - Ensure an effective, well led, and well governed organisation.
1.1 Organisational change: If we do we not have the right skill mix and resource within the organisation, supported by our Organisational Development Strategy, we may not achieve both our local commissioning strategy and our wider collaborative commissioning commitments.
CO 2- Commission high quality, continually improving, cost effective healthcare which meets the needs of the Doncaster population.
2.1 Quality impact: Financial resource reductions could potentially affect our ability to commission for continually improving quality.
2.2. Urgent Care: If we fail to commission effective, resilient and sustainable urgent & emergency care services, the quality of care delivered to patients and the achievement of associated quality and performance targets could be adversely affected.
2.3 Primary Care: If we fail to commission effective, resilient and sustainable primary medical care services, the quality of care delivered to patients and the achievement of associated quality and performance targets could be adversely affected, and the full vision contained within the Place Plan could potentially be adversely affected.
2.4 Provider Workforce: Providers in Doncaster may not have access to a sufficiently skilled workforce to meet the outcomes identified in our
commissioning intentions. CO 3 - Ensure that the healthcare system in Doncaster is sustainable.
3.1 Transformation: If our transformation delivery plans are not sufficiently ambitious to respond to the expected growth in activity and reduction in financial allocation, we could fail to deliver the efficiency savings required to maintain financial balance across the local health system.
3.2 Efficiencies: If we do not maximise efficiency opportunities presented by areas such as Prescribing and RightCare, we may be forced to consider decommissioning services from elsewhere in order to achieve the required savings.
3.3. System affordability: If the overall Doncaster healthcare system is not affordable given the impact of external controls on CCG allocations leading to increasingly limited financial resource, this may require the CCG to undertake greater prioritisation of resource to meet the identified needs of our population.
3.4. Control total: If we do not meet our CCG control total due to the impact of external controls on CCG allocations and/or the impact of unpredicted in-year cost pressures, then we will be in breach of our statutory duties to commission efficiently, effectively and to achieve value for money, and we may not be able to commission all the services which we have identified that our population needs.
CO 4 - Work collaboratively with partners to improve health and reduce inequalities in well governed and accountable partnerships.
4.1 Dual partnership focus: We have dual areas of partnership commissioning focus - our local focus on Doncaster as a place delivering the ambition described in the Doncaster Place Plan, and our collaborative commissioning commitments within areas such as the South Yorkshire & Bassetlaw Sustainability & Transformation Plan. If these dual areas of focus dilute our local system leadership as CCG as resource is aligned both locally and across a wider collaborative footprint, this could potentially impact upon our organisational independence of decision making.
4.2 Engagement & prevention: If, across the Doncaster Place Plan footprint, we do not achieve cultural change away from a more dependant medicalised model of healthcare towards greater self-care, prevention, patient engagement & empowerment, and building on the existing strengths within communities, we may not deliver the vision contained within the Place Plan, or the efficiencies.
4.3 STP non-delivery: If the South Yorkshire & Bassetlaw Sustainability & Transformation Plan does not deliver the expected savings, greater savings will need to be identified at a Place level, and we may not be able to commission all the services which we have identified that our population needs.
Assurance Framework closing position – Quarter 4 In light of the above fundamental refresh of the Assurance Framework during Quarter 4, the existing format of the Assurance Framework has been refreshed at a relatively high level during the last Quarter and the position is presented for Governing Body approval as at quarter-end.

Risks being treated as at the end of the Quarter:
Risk 1.4 relating to the challenging financial position for 2017/18+ (score of 16).
Risk 2.4 relating to provider performance (score of 12).
Risk 4.4 relating to different commissioning footprints and collaborations emerging at a rapid pace (score of 12).
All changes since the last report are presented on the Assurance Framework using Track Changes. The key updates to which attention is particularly drawn are detailed below. Health inequalities (Risk 1.3): CHANGED FROM TREAT TO TOLERATE.
Status: This risk was at a score of 8 (below the risk toleration threshold) but was being treated to strengthen controls and assurances with an action to “work in partnership with the Health & Wellbeing Board to identify inequalities and address these in partnership in line with the Health & Wellbeing Board Strategy”.
Quarter 4 update: The Equality & Diversity Strategy has been refreshed and expanded to include wider health inequalities associated with wider determinants of health, and was approved by Governing Body in January 2017. The action has therefore been completed. The additional control has been added to the list of controls and the treatment of the risk changed from Treat to Tolerate.
Efficiency programme (Risk 1.4): CONTINUES TO BE TREATED.
Status: The risk is at a score of 16 (above the risk toleration threshold) and is being treated with an action plan to “develop and implement an efficiency
programme aligned to the Right Care analysis, impact assess this against our transformation plan, and monitor progress throughout the year”.
Quarter 4 update: Progress on developing Quality, Innovation, Productivity & Prevention initiatives in response to the 2017/18 financial position is progressing well, with initiatives being identified to close the gap. However many of the initiatives are ambitious and will be challenging to achieve. The Governing Body has noted a significant risk remaining in this area. At the Governing Body meeting in January 2017, the risk was re-scored to reflect the current 2017/18 forecast position, leaving the residual risk at a score of 16. The financial position is reported monthly to Governing Body, alongside any developments. In the last Quarter a Commissioning for Value Decision Making Framework has been approved by the Governing Body. The risk remains at a score of 16 at the end of the Quarter. A risk relating to the financial position is replicated on the new Governing Body Assurance Framework from 1 April 2017.
Performance management (Risk 2.4): CONTINUES TO BE TREATED.
Status: This is an ongoing risk which the Governing Body keeps sight of on the Assurance Framework. This risk remains at a score of 12 (above the risk toleration threshold) and it is being treated with an action to “continue to take all contractual and partnership measures available to the CCG to ensure provider performance is brought back on track for key performance targets”.
Quarter 4 update: No change. The Governing Body continues to receive monthly Quality & Performance reports which identify performance areas which are off trajectory and debates recovery plans. Risks on the Risk Register capture any performance areas which are significantly off track including Urgent Care performance (A&E 4 hour wait), Referral to Treatment times (RTT 18 week target) and Cancer waits (62 day target). A risk relating to performance is replicated on the new Governing Body Assurance Framework from 1 April 2017.
Commissioning collaborations (Risk 4.4): CONTINUES TO BE TREATED.
Status: There are many different commissioning footprints and collaborations emerging at a rapid pace to address the challenges in the 5 Year Forward View. NHS Doncaster CCG is strongly engaged in the development of the Doncaster Place Plan, the South Yorkshire & Bassetlaw Sustainability & Transformation Plan, the Working Together Joint Committee (8 local CCGs), the Transforming Care Partnership, and joint commissioning for Ambulance and urgent transport services across Yorkshire & Humber. All these collaborations are on a different footprint, and require to be resourced – whether with human resource or financial resource – and could impact on the priorities and pace which we have set locally to deliver the commitments in our Strategic Plan as a CCG. A new risk was therefore added to the Assurance Framework during the last year.
Quarter 4 update: As we end the 2016/17 financial year, we have a strategic partner working alongside partners within the Doncaster Place Plan to develop a State of Readiness Report, we have strong partnership working to develop an implementation plan for the South Yorkshire & Bassetlaw Sustainability & Transformation Plan which is aligned to the Five Year Forward View, we have CCG Commissioning & Contracting Intentions were have been enacted into 2-year contracts with Providers, and work is progressing through the Working Together Joint Commissioning Committee on collaborative commissioning
intentions for Hyper Acute Stroke Services and Children’s Surgery & Anaesthesia. Partnership commissioning remains an emerging area of risk, and a risk relating to the collaborative commissioning is replicated on the new Governing Body Assurance Framework from 1 April 2017.
NHS Number in commissioning (Risk 5.5): CLOSED.
The risk relating to the use of NHS Number in commissioning (Risk 5.5) has been closed at year-end, because this risk has now been addressed at a national level and mitigation is in place which is permitting us to fulfil our statutory functions without the use of NHS Number except in specifically permitted instances, and this is captured in a consolidated information sharing agreement with NHS Digital.
Recommendation(s)
CONSIDER and APPROVE the year-end position of the 2016/17 Governing Body Assurance Framework. CONSIDER and APPROVE the 2017/18 starting position of the new Assurance Framework following the Governing Body timeout in January 2017.

NHS Doncaster Clinical Commissioning Group Assurance Framework 2016/17
V1.4 as at 31st March 2017
Key notes:
The Assurance Framework has been developed in accordance with guidelines provided by the Department of Health, External Audit and Internal Audit and comprises risks which affect the achievement of the NHS Doncaster Clinical Commissioning Group’s (CCG’s) strategic objectives, vision and values.
Only those potential or current risks which affect the achievement of the NHS Doncaster CCG’s strategic objectives are eligible for entry to the Assurance Framework. All other risks are managed through the Risk Register, and each of the Risk Register risks is linked to an overarching Assurance Framework risk.
Risks can be a) treated (via an action plan), b) tolerated, c) terminated or d) transferred (e.g. to another organisation).
Leads named on the Assurance Framework review the controls, assurances, gaps in control / assurance and scores of the Assurance Framework risks on a regular basis. The Assurance Framework Risk Lead(s) for each area, in consultation with the Governance Lead, can add or remove risks from the Assurance Framework. This will be subsequently ratified by the Governing Body of the NHS Doncaster CCG.
The organisational risk appetite under which risks can be tolerated is a score of 11 or below.
Assurance Framework risks which are scored at or in excess of a score of 16 must be escalated to the next meeting of the NHS Doncaster CCG’s Governing Body.
The Strategic Objectives against which the Assurance Framework is currently mapped and risk scoring matrix are shown below.

The Assurance Framework columns overleaf include:
Area Definition
Reference The risk reference, which links to the overarching strategic objective.
Principal Risks Those risks which affect the achievement of the Clinical Commissioning Group’s strategic objectives.
Lead Person / Delegated Committee
The lead responsible for reviewing the risk prior to presentation to Governing Body.
Uncontrolled Risk
The risk score (consequence x likelihood) if there were no controls in place. This helps the organisation to prioritise risks.
Current Risk The risk score (consequence x likelihood) as at the present time with the listed controls in place.
Key Controls
The controls which are already in place to control the risk and reduce its likelihood of occurring. Controls can be:
Preventative (stopping the risk occurring e.g. access controls)
Detective (If the risk is threatening to occur, how would we know? e.g. authorisation processes)
Directive (instructions or guidance in place to reduce the chance of the risk occurring e.g. policies)
Assurances The assurances which are in place to check that the key controls for the risk are operating effectively e.g. reports, audits. Assurances are broken down into internal assurances such as internal reports, and external assurances such as the independent Audit Reports.
Positive Assurances
The positive assurances which have been received that confirm the risk is being effectively managed, and that key controls are in place and working e.g. positive Internal or External Audit Reports.
Gaps in Control and Assurance
The gaps identified in control or assurance, which, if addressed, would reduce the risk score.
Outcome
The risk treatment which is appropriate for the risk based on the risk description, the scoring and any gaps in either control or assurance. There are 4 categories to choose from:
Treat – Where there are insufficient controls and/or assurances in place, risks must be treated. Any risk scored with a risk rating of 12 or above should be
treated. The risk treatment should be captured in an accompanying action plan.
Tolerate – Where the risk is deemed adequately controlled and there are sufficient assurances in place, risks can be tolerated providing that they are scored
with a risk rating of 11 or below.
Transfer – Risks can be transferred to another organisation, therefore removing the associated risk e.g. transfer of commissioning decisions, transferring
services or letting contracts with risk transfer clauses.
Terminate – It could be that the organisation wishes to avoid a particular risk altogether. This may involve ceasing the activity giving rise to the risk.
Review Date Risks should be reviewed at least Quarterly.

Engagement of Governing Body in changes.
The externally driven fast pace of change to collaborate with other organisations to commission services may potentially result in a lower level of engagement across the organisation on proposed changes than we usually endeavour to achieve as an organisation.
The plans and joint committees are all in draft or in early iterations, and therefore formal assurance is not yet following through the organisation in a routine manner.

Work in partnership with the Health & Wellbeing Board to identify inequalities and address these in partnership in line with the Health & Wellbeing Board Strategy.
31 December 2015 – action opened.
31 March 2016 – Work has been ongoing in the last Quarter in partnership with the Public Health Team in the Local Authority to develop a workshop session for Governing Body members on health inequalities. This workshop is planned to be run in Quarter 1 of 2016/17 and should result in the development of a health inequalities plan.
30 June 2016 – An engagement session with Governing Body members on health inequalities was developed and run at the May meeting of the Strategy & Organisational Development Forum. It was agreed that a health inequalities plan would be developed focussing on performance data, reducing unwarranted variation in primary care, and seeking to better understand the health needs of our black, asian and minority ethnic population in Doncaster. Work is taking place jointly with public health team members from Doncaster Council over the summer to develop these workstreams into an action plan, which will then be combined with our existing Equality Strategy.
30 September 2016 – The Health & Wellbeing Board is developing a workshop on health inequalities to take place during October 2016, which the CCG is co-leading. It is envisaged that a partnership health inequalities action plan will be developed from this workshop. The CCG’s role within this will be captured within the refresh of the Equality & Diversity Strategy planned for December 2016. The action plan therefore remains on track.
30 December 2016 – The Health & Wellbeing Board workshop on health inequalities took place during October 2016 and a partnership action plan is being developed from this workshop. The review of the Equality Delivery System (EDS) took place at an Engagement & Experience Committee workshop in December 2016 and will be approved by the Engagement & Experience Committee at its next meeting in January 2017. The Equality & Diversity Strategy has been refreshed to align to the latest EDS self-assessment and will be taken through for approval during Quarter 4 of 2016/17. The action remains on track.
31 January 2017 – The Equality & Diversity Strategy has been refreshed and expanded to include wider health inequalities associated with wider determinants of health, and was approved by Governing Body in January 2017. The action has therefore been completed. The additional control has been added to the list of controls and the treatment of the risk changed from Treat to Tolerate.

A change to the national business rules for CCG

Develop and implement an efficiency programme aligned to the Right Care analysis, impact assess this against our transformation plan, and monitor progress throughout the year.
17 March 2016 – A change to the national business rules for CCG allocations has resulted in an extremely challenging financial position for CCGs in 2016/17 which in Doncaster could affect our local achievement of financial targets and our system transformation plans. The descriptor for Risk 1.4 which focusses on achievement of efficiency savings has therefore been refreshed to capture the current position. The financial position requires a significant efficiency programme as reported to Governing Body in March 2016. The risk identified is the impact which this significant efficiency programme could potentially have upon our local achievement of financial targets and our system transformation plans. New controls have been added to the risk comprising Right Care analysis, prescribing analysis and our financial monitoring regime. The likelihood of the risk has increased from a score of 2 “unlikely” where we do not expect it to happen/recur but it is possible it may do so to a score of 3 “possible” where the risk might happen or recur occasionally or a percentage likelihood of 21-50%. The likelihood risk score will be under regular review throughout the year in line with the reported financial position. The risk treatment has been changed from “tolerate” to “treat” and an action plan has been developed to “develop and implement an efficiency programme aligned to the Right Care analysis, impact assess this against our transformation plan, and monitor progress throughout the year”. This action was opened on 17 March 2016 after the financial position was reported to the March Governing Body meeting. Since this point, the Right Care analysis received from NHS England has been reviewed by CCG team members and an efficiency programme will be developed aligned to this analysis. Prescribing has been identified as a key priority and initial meetings have taken place to begin planning.
30 June 2016 – Based on the national Commissioning for Value packs and tools, four local workstreams have been initiated in the areas of a) Respiratory, b) Endocrine, c) Neurology, and d) Musculoskeletal, and clinical leaders have been identified to these workstreams. We are also focussing on quality and value in prescribing, and July has seen the launch to General Practice of a prescribing gain-share scheme approved by the Primary Care Commissioning Committee. These areas form the basis of our efficiency programme in 2016/17. Progress will be reported to the Governing Body as the workstreams develop.

musculoskeletal and prescribing) continues. The Finance Report has, however, identified potential overspends in other areas such as the acute contract, prescribing, funded nursing care and individual placements which could require further efficiencies to be identified in order to achieve the CCG’s year-end control total. The Governing Body has debated this as part of the Finance Report, and has also received a presentation on the financial control environment in 2016/17. Whilst the action to develop and impact assess an efficiency programme remains on track, the issue of financial stability remains a significant risk for the CCG.
30 December 2016 – Progress on the RightCare Workstreams (respiratory, endocrine, neurology, musculoskeletal and prescribing) continues. The monthly Finance Report received by the Governing Body continues to identify potential overspends in other areas such as the acute contract, prescribing, funded nursing care and individual placements. We are still forecasting to achieve the CCG’s year-end control total in 2016/17, however the financial position remains challenging if there are unexpected cost pressures. The action to develop and impact assess an efficiency programme remains on track, however the issue of financial stability remains a significant risk for the CCG as reported in the Indicative Financial Plan for 2017/18 received by the Governing Body in November 2016 and the risk description has been refreshed to mirror the 2017/18+ risks.
14 March 2017 – Progress on developing Quality, Innovation, Productivity & Prevention initiatives in response to the 2017/18 financial position is progressing well, with initiatives being identified to close the gap. However many of the initiatives are ambitious and will be challenging to achieve. The Governing Body has noted a significant risk remaining in this area. At the Governing Body meeting in January 2017, the risk was re-scored to reflect the current 2017/18 forecast position, leaving the residual risk at a score of 16. The financial position is reported monthly to Governing Body, alongside any developments. In the last Quarter a Commissioning for Value Decision Making Framework has been approved by the Governing Body. The risk remains at a score of 16 at the end of the Quarter. A risk relating to the financial position is replicated on the new Governing Body Assurance Framework from 1 April 2017.

Additional remedial action on performance issues is reported to the Governing Body e.g. in response to the pressures on the NHS system associated with Junior Doctor industrial action and ongoing performance issues nationally in urgent care systems and Ambulance Services. The risk is being maintained at its existing score and progress will continue to be reported to Governing Body through the Quality & Performance Report.

6 September 2016 - The externally driven fast pace of change to collaborate with other organisations to commission services may potentially result in a lower level of engagement across the organisation on proposed changes than we usually endeavour to achieve as an organisation. The plans and joint committees are all in draft or in early iterations, and therefore formal assurance is not yet following through the organisation in a routine manner. New risk added. Action added: Engage the Governing Body fully on the rapidly evolving joint working with other organisations across the breadth of the collaboratives in which we are asked to participate as they emerge, and agree the level of assurance which the Governing Body

CCG is strongly engaged in the development of the Doncaster Place Plan, the
South Yorkshire & Bassetlaw Sustainability & Transformation Plan, the Working Together Joint
Committee (8 local CCGs), the Transforming
Care Partnership, and joint commissioning for Ambulance and urgent
transport services across Yorkshire & Humber. All these collaborations are on a different footprint,

resource, governance arrangements or public
engagement – and could impact on the priorities

commitments in our Strategic Plan as a CCG.
require from each collaborative.
will require from each collaborative.
30 September 2016 – Papers on the Doncaster Place Plan and Sustainability & Transformation Plan are expected to be available by the end of October 2016. Governing Body considered proposals for joint Committees for Working Together and 999/111 over the past few months. These joint committees are not yet in place; when established, the minutes will be received by the Governing Body. A Locality Lead for Planning has been identified to support improved clinical involvement in planning. Through the Place Plan development, a neighbourhood approach has been agreed which is co-terminus across primary care, social care and community care boundaries. Development of the Place Plan has been communicated at joint committees, individual organisations and primary care forums.
30 December 2016 – During the last Quarter we have seen significant progress in this area. Governing Body supported the Doncaster Place Plan in October 2016, and supported the South Yorkshire & Bassetlaw Sustainability & Transformation Plan in November 2016. Our Commissioning & Contracting Intentions were agreed in November 2016 and triggered the contracting rounds with our providers. We have also seen the first meeting of the Working Together Joint Commissioning Committee which is focussing on Hyper Acute Stroke Services and Children’s Surgery & Anaesthesia. Finally we have signed a Memorandum of Understanding for the collaborative commissioning arrangements across Yorkshire & Humber CCGs for 999 and 111 services commissioned from the Yorkshire Ambulance Service. Partnership commissioning remains an emerging area of risk, and therefore the risk continues to be treated as the partnership commissioning governance and reporting structures start to embed into the organisation.
17 March 2017 – As we end the 2016/17 financial year, we have a strategic partner working alongside partners within the Doncaster Place Plan to develop a State of Readiness Report, we have strong partnership working to develop an implementation plan for the South Yorkshire & Bassetlaw Sustainability & Transformation Plan which is aligned to the Five Year Forward View, we have CCG Commissioning & Contracting Intentions were have been enacted into 2-year contracts with Providers, and work is progressing through the Working Together Joint Commissioning Committee on collaborative commissioning intentions for Hyper Acute Stroke Services and Children’s Surgery & Anaesthesia. Partnership commissioning remains an emerging area of risk, and a risk relating to the collaborative commissioning is replicated on the new Governing Body Assurance Framework from 1 April 2017.

Gaps in control: Actions being taken to address gaps: Due date
NHS Doncaster CCG does not have any control over financial allocations from NHS England /
the Department of Health, which have been reducing over the past few years. A move from
deprivation-based allocations to age-based allocations adversely affected NHS Doncaster
CCG's allocations, and these have continued to decrease year-on-year. The CCG allocations
affect the resources which we have available to commission local healthcare services, and
pump-prime transformation work.
Limited controls - national allocations. Ongoing dialogue with NHS England. Ongoing

local focus on Doncaster as a place delivering the ambition described in the Doncaster
Place Plan, and our collaborative commissioning commitments within areas such as the
South Yorkshire & Bassetlaw Sustainability & Transformation Plan. If these dual areas of
focus dilute our local system leadership as CCG as resource is aligned both locally and
across a wider collaborative footprint, this could potentially impact upon our organisational
independence of decision making.

Chair and Chief Officer Report
April 2017 1. Next steps on the NHS Five Year Forward View On 31 March 2017 the NHS published the Next steps on the NHS Five Year Forward View, outlining further support for strengthening and transforming GP practices, as it continues to improve and care for more patients. The report also highlights other practical improvements in areas of particular concern to patients including cancer and mental health, while transforming the way that care is delivered to ease pressure on hospitals. It also includes the mechanisms by which the NHS aims to deliver this change, taking the lessons learned from the vanguards and making them integral to how Sustainability and Transformation Plans develop from proposals to plans. 2. 360 Stakeholder Survey As a system leader we need to have strong relationships with a range of health and care partners. Our relationships provide us with ongoing information, advice and knowledge to help us make the best possible commissioning decisions. The CCG 360 Stakeholder Survey is a key part of ensuring these strong relationships are in place. NHS England commissioned Ipsos Moro to conduct the 2017 CCG 360 Stakeholder Survey which has allowed stakeholders to provide feedback on their working relationships with us. Our overall response rate to the survey in 2017 was 57%, which is a 10% improvement in our response rate from 2016. The average response rate across all CCGs within the survey was 62%. An internal analysis of our Stakeholder Survey outcomes, including the full report from Ipsos Mori, is attached as Appendix A. We would like to take this opportunity to thank our stakeholders for the time and thought which they put into their responses. Only with an open relationship in which we can tell each other what is going well and what could be better, can we improve our partnership effectiveness as an organisation. 3. NHS England Annual Assurance Review On 12 April 2017 we had our Annual Assurance Review with NHS England. With representation from our Senior Management Team and Chair, key areas discussed were:
CCG key achievements and issues from 2016/17
Operational and financial plans for 2017/18: formal sign-off / identification of key issues
CCG Place Based Strategy

Wider Sustainability & Transformation Plan implementation The outcome letter from NHS England will be presented to the Governing Body when received. 4. Constitutional change proposal – The Phoenix Practice The Phoenix Practice has made a formal request to NHS Doncaster CCG for them as a Member Practice to move from the South East Locality to the Central Locality. The rationale given is due to the geographic patient base (for the purposes of commissioning) and also with a view to the future emerging local NHS landscape in Doncaster. The process for consideration of this change is detailed below:
a) Consult the Locality which the Practice is wishing to leave to ascertain if they have any objections to the Practice leaving the Locality (via Practice Representatives at the Locality meeting).
b) Consult the Locality which the Practice is wishing to join to ascertain if they have any objections to the Practice joining the Locality (via Practice Representatives at the Locality meeting).
c) Present the change to the Governing Body for approval (within the April 2017 Chair & Chief Officer Report).
d) Consult the Membership to ascertain if they have any objections to the change (via the established process as this will require a Constitutional change).
e) Submit the Constitutional change request to NHS England. The South East and Central Localities have been consulted during early April 2017 on the proposed change, and have supported the change. Governing Body members are asked to consider this Constitutional change request and recommend the change to our Member Practices. The changes to our Constitution in order to reflect the Joint Committee of CCGs for Working Together from April 2017 was formally approved by NHS England on 30 March 2017, and the refreshed Constitution has been placed on our website. http://www.doncasterccg.nhs.uk/about-us/who-are-we/ 5. National CCG changes – April 2017 From 1 April 2017 there are 207 CCGs operating in England – Central Manchester CCG, North Manchester CCG and South Manchester CCG have merged to form Manchester CCG. A further 62 CCGs took forward delegated commissioning arrangements for primary medical services on 1 April 2017. This brings the total number of CCGs with full delegation to 176, representing 84% of CCGs.

6. NHS Security Management Our Security Management Director, the Chief of Corporate Services, has received a letter from the Managing Director of NHS Protect to thank NHS organisations for the support and assistance given to the NHS security management and tackling violence agenda. There are national plans for the creation of a new Special Health Authority dedicated to counter fraud work. The new organisation will be called the NHS Counter Fraud Authority (NHSCFA) and exists in shadow form from 1 April 2017. The transfer of staff and the creation of the NHSCFA will take place during the first quarter of 2017/18, with the new organisation being launched on 3 July 2017. At this point NHS Protect will cease to exist. Services provided by NHS Protect’s Local Support and Development and Training teams will cease on 31 March 2017. The remaining NHS Protect security management functions will also be decommissioned at this time as part of the transition leading to the establishment of the NHSCFA. NHS Doncaster CCG is part of a partnership arrangement with the South Yorkshire & Bassetlaw CCGs for Health, Safety & Security hosted by NHS Rotherham CCG. As part of this service we have access to advice and support from an experienced and accredited NHS security management professional. 7. Information Governance Toolkit On 27 March 2017 we published our 2016/17 Information Governance (IG) Toolkit. We attained an overall IG Toolkit score of 77%, improving on the score achieved for 2015/16 by 1%. The IG Toolkit scores result in one of 2 outcomes – “satisfactory” or “unsatisfactory”. Our score of 77% with a minimum score of 2 across all the standards means that our Toolkit outcome is “satisfactory”. The Toolkit was also subject to Internal Audit review in the last Quarter, which resulted in an outcome of significant assurance. 8. Recommendations The Governing Body is asked to:
Note the report.
Consider the Constitutional change request to move The Phoenix Practice from the South East to the Central Locality, and recommend the change to our Member Practices.

NHS Doncaster CCG Stakeholder Survey Report 2017 – Analysis 1. Introduction
NHS Doncaster Clinical Commissioning Group (CCG) needs to have strong relationships with a range of health and care partners in order to be successful as commissioners within the local system. Our relationships provide us with ongoing information, advice and knowledge to help us make the best possible commissioning decisions. The CCG 360o Stakeholder Survey is a key part of ensuring these strong relationships are in place. NHS England commissioned Ipsos Moro to conduct the 2017 CCG 360o Stakeholder Survey. The survey allows stakeholders to provide feedback on working relationships with CCGs. The results from the survey are intended to serve two purposes:
1. To provide a wealth of data for CCGs to help with their ongoing organisational development, enabling them to continue to build strong and productive relationships with stakeholders. The findings can provide a valuable tool for all CCGs to be able to evaluate their progress and inform their organisational decisions.
2. To feed into improvement and assessment conversations between NHS England and CCGs. The survey will form part of the evidence used to assess whether the stakeholder relationships continue to be central to the effective commissioning of services by CCGs, and in doing so, improve quality and outcomes for patients.
Within the survey, stakeholders were asked a series of questions about their working relationship with the CCG. In addition, to reflect each core stakeholder group’s different area of expertise and knowledge, they were presented with a short section of questions specific to the stakeholder group they represented. The 360o Stakeholder Survey ran from Monday 16 January 2017 to Tuesday 28 February 2017. 2. Response rate Our overall response rate to the survey in 2017 was 57%, which is a 10% improvement in our response rate from 2016. The average response rate across all CCGs within the survey was 62%. We had a better than national average response rate from all stakeholders with the exception of our Member Practices and wider stakeholders, although a significant improvement in response rate from our Member Practices compared to 2016.

3. Outcome report The full nationally-produced outcome report from the survey is available on our website www.doncasterccg.nhs.uk. The report covers the domains:
Overall engagement
Commissioning services
Leadership of the CCG
Monitoring and reviewing services
Plans and priorities A 2-page summary is shown at Appendix A. 4. Analysis The following themes have emerged from the analysis of the report.
Theme Result Analysis
Working relationships and overall
engagement
76% of respondents rate their overall working relationship with us as very good or fairly good. 74% of respondents are very or fairly satisfied with the way that the CCG has engaged with them over the last 12 months. This is in line with national and cluster comparisons and has not changed significantly since last year. There was a general upwards trend of improvement across all questions when compared to previous years.
This is a positive outcome and reflects the open, transparent and engaging CCG leadership culture which we are trying to foster.

Theme Result Analysis
Commissioning services
61% of respondents feel we engage the right people when making commissioning decisions, with the exceptions being a minority of Member Practices and Healthwatch. This result is an improvement on previous years, and in line with national and cluster comparisons. 64% of respondents have confidence in the CCG to commission high quality services for the local population, with a further 24% neither agreeing nor disagreeing. This is an improvement on previous years, and in line with national and cluster comparisons. We score higher than our 2 previous years, and higher than the national average and higher than our CCG Cluster average for respondents understanding the reasons for commissioning decisions and for our plans delivering continuous improvement. At 39%, we score lower than that national comparator (58%) and our CCG Cluster (59%) for satisfaction with engagement with patients and the public, and lower for acting on patient/public views when making commissioning decision and feeding back to those who have shared their views.
This is a significant improvement on previous years’ results, and testament to the time which we have dedicated to working in partnership with our stakeholders and striving to involve our stakeholders more in our commissioning priorities. We recognise that not all our stakeholders feel fully involved in all aspects of commissioning. As the statutory voice for patients and citizens in Doncaster, we want to work more closely with Healthwatch Doncaster, and we have developed a more collaborative programme of engagement for 2017/18 through a partnership grant agreement and the secondment of the CCG team member to Healthwatch Doncaster. This is also in response to a commissioned Diagnostic piece of work on Stakeholder communication and engagement, which has recently led to refreshed engagement principles for the CCG, and plans to use the NHS Ladder of Engagement in all our work. The outcome of the survey matches the developmental areas which our Diagnostic had already identified.
Leadership of the CCG
In all the Leadership domain questions, our 2017 position is significantly improved when compared to the survey results in 2015 and 2016, and our score is consistently higher than or in line with national and cluster comparisons. Of particular note is:
the increase in those reflecting that the CCG has the necessary blend of skills and experience – which has increased from 44% in 2016 to 79% in 2017
the increase in those reflecting
NHS Doncaster CCG started the year in April 2016 with significant changes in leadership - a new Chair and Chief Officer. Subsequently we had changes to both the Chief Nurse and Chief of Strategy & Delivery roles alongside a change in Locality Lead for the Central Locality. We now have a stable senior clinical and managerial leadership team and this team has held a robust period of engagement with our Member Practices on how they wished to be better engaged in their role as clinical commissioners.

Theme Result Analysis
that the CCG has clear and visible leadership – which has increased from 44% in 2016 to 85% in 2017
confidence in the leadership of the CCG to deliver its plans and priorities – which has increased from 37% in 2016 to 67% in 2017
76% of respondents felt that we were effective as a system leader. This is higher than the national and CCG Cluster comparisons.
The senior leadership team has also been engaging with our breadth of stakeholders, particularly in respect the Doncaster Place Plan and the South Yorkshire & Bassetlaw Sustainability & Transformation Plan. In December 2016, following externally facilitated self-assessment and stakeholder engagement, we approved a refreshed Organisational Development Strategy to support us to build upon this sound basis and evolve our leadership role within the new integrated commissioning environment. Our successful enactment of the action plan associated with this Strategy will be crucial to building on the improvements in leadership visibility to our stakeholders which have been achieved in the last year.
Monitoring and reviewing services
We are broadly in line with national and cluster comparisons for confidence in the CCG to monitor the quality of commissioned services and confidence in raising concerns. There is lower comparative confidence in our acting upon feedback received (from a majority Member Practices and Healthwatch Doncaster) however our score shows an increase from 2016.
We have robust quality and patient safety mechanisms in place which have been tested by Internal Audit during the year and our reflected in our Annual Governance Statement. It would be beneficial to spend some time with our Member Practice and Healthwatch stakeholders providing further assurance on and seeking feedback on these mechanisms.
Plans and priorities
We have improved our score in every question within this domain compared to 2016. We are broadly in line with national and cluster comparisons for the opportunity for stakeholders to influence plans/priorities, for taking on board comments on plans/priorities, and for having the right plans/priorities. We score slightly higher than national and cluster comparisons for what stakeholders know of our plans/priorities, and how the CCG has effectively communicated
It is very positive to see the time we have invested in working in partnership with our stakeholders to agree plans/priorities within the Doncaster Place Plan and the South Yorkshire & Bassetlaw Sustainability & Transformation Plan have been reflected in significant increases in scores across this domain. We want to continue to engage with our stakeholders as the fast-paced work evolves over the next tear.

Theme Result Analysis
plans/priorities. 91% of stakeholders feel that improving patient outcomes is a core focus for the CCG.
Stakeholder groups
Generally, we received very positive feedback from:
Our Local Authority on integrated commissioning and safeguarding.
From the Health & Wellbeing Board on active membership of the Board and delivering shared plans for integrated commissioning.
Healthwatch / Patient Groups on engaging with seldom heard groups and listening to / acting on concerns/complaints/issues.
Providers on working together on long term strategies and quality of services, with good understanding of the challenges facing providers and good clinical involvement in service redesign.
Member Practices had a more mixed view, with the majority feeling that they have a low level of influence on decision making. However the majority felt that they did have confidence in the clinical leadership of the CCG to deliver plans/priorities. At least half of Member Practices agreed that the clinical leadership of the CCG was delivering quality improvements, addressing health inequalities, and sustaining 2-way accountability. At least half also understood both financial and service improvement implications of CCG plans. A very low level of understanding and involvement in the financial position of the CCG was reflected.
Last year, other CCGs did not feel fully engaged with the work of our CCG. We are pleased to see a significant shift, which we ascribe to the partnership development of the Sustainability & Transformation Plan, in which NHS Doncaster CCG has been an active partner. There are a minority of Member Practices who reflect that they do not feel engaged (6 out of 20) with their CCG. Discussions have taken place in the last year with our Member Practices to understand their preferred clinical commissioning involvement and communication mechanisms. We feel that we have made progress in engaging Member Practices as commissioners with the additional of whole-Doncaster regular meetings alongside Locality meetings. There has been a rapid evolution of Federations from a GP provider perspective, which may have impacted Member Practice views, and this theme comes through the verbatim comments from the survey. We will continue to work with Member Practices on what they want from engagement with their CCG, and this forms a key part of the Organisational Development Strategy approved in December 2016. We have 43 Member Practices in Doncaster, and so we do not have the views of all Member Practices represented in the survey; we will engage with all Member Practices via the Locality engagement model to ensure that we hear all voices.

5. Conclusion The Stakeholder Survey is one element of the feedback which we receive as an organisation to support us in evaluating and improving our relationships with stakeholders and to ensure that our stakeholders’ views continue to be central to the effective commissioning of healthcare services. The key themes emerging are:
General improvement: There was a general upwards trend of improvement across all questions when compared to previous years. Generally, we received positive feedback from our Local Authority on integrated commissioning and safeguarding, from the Health & Wellbeing Board on active membership of the Board and delivering shared plans for integrated commissioning, and from Providers on working together on long term strategies and quality of services, with good understanding of the challenges facing providers and good clinical involvement in service redesign.
Integration – plans & priorities: We were pleased to see our investment in partnership integration reflected in generally improved scores across the plans and priorities domain, and in our overall working relationships with stakeholders.
Quality monitoring: It would be beneficial for us to to spend some time with our Member Practice and Healthwatch stakeholders providing further assurance on and seeking feedback on our existing mechanisms for responding to quality concerns.
Patient engagement: The area of patient engagement in commissioning, in which we scored lower than the national average, was an area which we had already identified internally as an area for further development, and we have now completed a Diagnostic and resulting action planning. With the enactment of the actions emerging from the Diagnostic, we hope to see this indicator improve in the next survey.
Member engagement: There are a number of Member Practices who reflect that they do not feel engaged (6 out of 20) with their CCG. We will continue to work with Member Practices on what they want from engagement with their CCG, and this forms a key part of our refreshed Organisational Development Strategy approved in December 2016.
Leadership: In December 2016, following externally facilitated self-assessment and stakeholder engagement, we approved a refreshed Organisational Development Strategy to support us to build upon and evolve our leadership role within the new integrated commissioning environment. This is reflected in a significantly improved 2017 position in all the Leadership domain questions when compared to the survey results in 2015 and 2016, and a score consistently higher than or in line with national and cluster comparisons. Our successful enactment of the action plan associated with our Organisational Development Strategy will be crucial to building on the improvements in leadership visibility to our stakeholders which have been achieved in the last year. We have 43 Member Practices in Doncaster, and so we do not have the views of all Member Practices represented in the survey; we will engage with all Member Practices via the Locality engagement model to ensure that we hear all voices.

Summary This report presents the results from Doncaster CCG 360 Stakeholder Survey 2017. The annual CCG 360 Stakeholder Survey, which has been
conducted online and by telephone since 2014, allows a range of key stakeholders to provide feedback on working relationships with their CCG.
The results are used to support CCGs’ ongoing development and feed into improvement and assessment conversations with NHS England.
The following chart presents the summary findings across the CCG for the questions asked of all stakeholders. This provides the percentage of
stakeholders responding positively to the key questions, including year-on-year comparisons where the question was also asked in 2016 and 2015.

Summary This report presents the results from Doncaster CCG 360 Stakeholder Survey 2017. The annual CCG 360 Stakeholder Survey, which has been
conducted online and by telephone since 2014, allows a range of key stakeholders to provide feedback on working relationships with their CCG.
The results are used to support CCGs’ ongoing development and feed into improvement and assessment conversations with NHS England.
The following chart presents the summary findings across the CCG for the questions asked of all stakeholders. This provides the percentage of
stakeholders responding positively to the key questions, including year-on-year comparisons where the question was also asked in 2016 and 2015.

Background and objectives
Doncaster CCG
Clinical Commissioning Groups (CCGs) need to have strong relationships with a range of health and care
partners in order to be successful commissioners within the local system. These relationships provide CCGs
with on-going information, advice and knowledge to help them make the best possible commissioning
decisions.
The CCG 360o stakeholder survey is a key part of ensuring these strong relationships are in place. The
survey allows stakeholders to provide feedback on working relationships with CCGs. The results from the
survey will serve two purposes:
1. To provide a wealth of data for CCGs to help with their ongoing organisational development, enabling
them to continue to build strong and productive relationships with stakeholders. The findings can
provide a valuable tool for all CCGs to be able to evaluate their progress and inform their
organisational decisions.
2. To feed into improvement and assessment conversations between NHS England and CCGs. The survey
will form part of the evidence used to assess whether the stakeholder relationships continue to be
central to the effective commissioning of services by CCGs, and in doing so, improve quality and
outcomes for patients.
8 CCG 360 stakeholder survey 2017 - Report | April 2017 | Public
Methodology and technical details
Doncaster CCG
• It was the responsibility of each CCG to provide the list of
stakeholders to invite to take part in the CCG 360o stakeholder
survey.
• CCGs were provided with a specification of core stakeholder
organisations (outlined in the table opposite) to be included in their
stakeholder list. Beyond this however, CCGs had the flexibility to
determine which individual within each organisation was the most
appropriate to nominate.
• CCGs were also given the opportunity to add up to ten additional
stakeholders they wanted to include locally (they are referred to in
this report as ‘Wider stakeholders’). These included: Commissioning
Support Units, Health Education England, lower tier local authorities,
MPs, private providers, Public Health England, social care /
community organisations, Voluntary Sector Council/Leader,
voluntary / third sector organisations, local care homes, GP out-of-
hours providers and other stakeholders and clinicians.
• Stakeholders were sent an email inviting them to complete the
survey online. Stakeholders who did not respond to the email
invitation, and stakeholders for whom an email address was not
provided, were telephoned by an Ipsos MORI interviewer who
encouraged response and offered the opportunity to complete the
survey by telephone.

9 CCG 360 stakeholder survey 2017 - Report | April 2017 | Public
Methodology and technical details • Within the survey,
stakeholders were asked a
series of questions about
their working relationship
with the CCG. In addition, to
reflect each core stakeholder
group’s different area of
expertise and knowledge,
they were presented with a
short section of questions
specific to the stakeholder
group they represented.
• Fieldwork was conducted
between 16th January 2017
and 28th February 2017.
• 33 of the CCG’s stakeholders
completed the survey. The
overall response rate was
57% which varied across the
stakeholder groups as
shown in the table opposite.

Interpreting the results
• For each question, the response to each answer is presented as both a percentage (%) and as a
number (n).
• The total number of stakeholders who answered each question (the base size) is also stated at the
bottom of each chart and in every table.
• For questions with fewer than 30 stakeholders answering, we strongly recommend that you look at the
number of stakeholders giving each response rather than the percentage, as the percentage can be
misleading when based on so few stakeholders.
• This report presents the results from Doncaster CCG's stakeholder survey. Throughout the report, ‘the
CCG / your CCG’ refers to Doncaster CCG.
• Where a result for the ‘cluster’ is presented, this refers to the overall score across the 20 CCGs that are
most similar to the CCG. For more information on the cluster and how this has been defined, please
see the Appendix.
• Where results do not sum to 100%, or where individual responses (e.g. tend to agree; strongly agree)
do not sum to combined responses (e.g. strongly/tend to agree) this is due to rounding.

Using the results – the reports
Doncaster CCG
• This report contains a summary section, a section on overall views of relationships and a section for
each of the main stakeholder groups who were invited to complete the survey.
• The overall summary slides show the results at CCG level for the questions asked of all stakeholders
(i.e. only those in section 1 of the questionnaire).
• This provides CCGs with an ‘at a glance’ visual summary of the results for the key questions,
including direction of travel comparisons where appropriate.
• The stakeholder specific sections of the report contain those questions which were targeted at
individual groups of stakeholders only.
• These questions were often around specific issues which were only relevant to the specific group
of stakeholders.
• The remainder of the report shows the results for all questions in the survey including any local
questions where CCGs included them. The results for each question are provided at CCG level with a
breakdown also shown for each of the core stakeholder groups where relevant.
• This allows CCGs to interrogate the data in more detail.
12 CCG 360 stakeholder survey 2017 - Report | April 2017 | Public
Using the results – comparisons
Doncaster CCG
• For some questions, data has been included in the reports to compare the results for the CCG with:
• The CCG’s result in 2015
• The CCG’s result in 2016
• The 2017 average across all CCGs in the CCG’s cluster
• The 2017 average across all CCGs in the CCG’s regional (DCO) teams
• National CCG average in 2017
• The comparisons are included to provide an indication of differences only and should be treated with
caution due to the low numbers of respondents and differences in stakeholder lists.
• Any differences are not necessarily statistically significant differences; a higher score than the
cluster average does not always equate to ‘better ’ performance, and a higher score than in 2016
does not necessarily mean the CCG has improved.
• The comparisons offer a starting point to inform wider discussions about the CCG’s ongoing
organisational development and its relationships with stakeholders. For example, they may
indicate areas in which stakeholders think the CCG is performing relatively less well, for the CCG
to discuss internally and externally to identify what improvements can be made in this area, if any.

3. Declarations of Interest The Chair reminded committee members of their obligation to declare any interest they may have on any issues arising at committee meetings which might conflict with the business of NHS Doncaster Clinical Commissioning Group (CCG). Declarations declared by members of the committee are listed in the CCG’s Register of Interests. The Register is available either via the secretary to the Governing Body or the CCG website at the following link: www.doncasterccg.nhs.uk The meeting was noted as quorate. Declarations of interest from today’s meeting: None declared.
4. Minutes of the meeting held on 5 January 2017 The minutes of the meeting held on 5 January 2017 were approved as a correct record.
5. Action Tracker The actions within the action tracker were noted as complete or in progress.
6. Communication and Engagement Stakeholder Review Mrs Webster explained that the report has been produced by ‘Attain’ who work with the Healthcare Sector in relation to commissioning. The report presents the findings and recommendations of the review of stakeholder engagement undertaken during September-December 2016 as per the request from NHS Doncaster Clinical Commissioning Group. The research around this was both qualitative and quantitative and included structured interviews, review of existing policies and procedures, and direct engagement with patients, the public and key stakeholders and partners including the third sector and community representatives if necessary / required. Four phases of work were agreed on to develop this piece of work;
Diagnostic – understanding context, current activities,
3
resources and ambition
Research – evaluating new models for engagement which match the ambition
Evaluation – evaluating how the ambition meets the needs of stakeholders and what will be needed to enable this
Implementation – Outlining the recommendations for change The research carried out has highlighted a shared vision, internally and with local partner organisations, to do the right thing for Doncaster. There is greater outward focus from the CCG in the last 6-9 months and a strong commitment to tackling the health and care needs in partnership and in being open and more responsive to the needs of local people. The general findings are positive; the CCG has a good basis from which to grow its engagement and communication programme and is already 70% of the way there. The research has also highlighted the desire of local people to engage with the work of the CCG as much as possible. There is also the will to increase the enablement of communities to develop their own solutions, within the parameters available. The Committee agreed that the research and subsequent report was really useful and we, as a CCG need to look at how to develop and build on this in terms of our engagement and the elements within it, particularly the ‘so what’. It would be useful to look at the ‘better not bigger’ element to build on what we already have in place. The systematic approach to engagement is less well developed throughout the organisation, and should be our priority area of focus. The group also acknowledged that this work can be aligned with our revised Organisational Development (OD) Strategy to drive forward engagement for improved health outcomes (rather than engagement for engagement’s sake). It was noted that an approach to communication and engagement across Doncaster is now in place, driven by the Doncaster Place Plan. Mrs Whittle summarised the consensus of the discussions as:
Building on a strong existing base within the organisation to develop a more systematic engagement programme
Learning from elsewhere
Sharing communication and engagement resources across the Place Plan footprint
Voluntary Sector engagement
Alignment with the OD Strategy
The Committee agreed to use the next Engagement & Experience Committee as a workshop to start to take this work forward. Mrs Whittle and Mrs Atkins Whatley will discuss how best to do this and welcomed views of other Committee Members prior to the next

meeting.
7. Dementia Strategy Update Mr Goddard informed the Committee that the Dementia Strategy is due to complete at the end of March 2017. The Doncaster Dementia Strategic Partnerships (DDSP) workshop took place on Monday the 12th December on The Hub. 50 invites were extended to members, partners and associates. There were 43 attendees including people with dementia and carers. The main purpose of the event was to:
Review progress against the 2015-17 Doncaster Dementia Strategy – have we done what we said and if not what are the next steps.
Identify and consider the dementia challenges for Doncaster post 2017
Identify possible solutions to those challenges.
A recommendation paper will be presented to Senior Managers for approval once ratified at the Dementia Strategic Partnership meeting. The Committee thanked Mr Goddard for his work around this as it shows excellent cross partnership working and allows us to look at what we have done differently in this piece of work and if this can be adapted to other areas to allow a change in outcomes. Mr Goddard agreed to send the Independent Evaluation data to Miss Moore to be circulated with the Minutes and to provide a progress update at the next Engagement and Experience Committee.
Mr Goddard
8. Patient Experience Engagement and Experience Tracker The Committee noted the tracker and agreed that it is a useful and informative document to highlight the CCG’s level of engagement. Ms Mather informed the Committee that the 2 consultations around Hyper Acute Stroke Units and Children’s Surgery & Anaesthesia remain open until 28th February to allow for further engagement opportunities. Ms Mather also informed the Committee that the BME Focus Group is taking place on Wednesday 15 February from 6pm - 8pm at the Trades & Labour Club, Frenchgate, Doncaster as part of the Children’s Surgery and Stroke Consultations. Ms Mather will send the information for the Focus Group to the Committee.

Doncaster Place Plan & Sustainability & Transformation Plan (STP) Engagement Update More engagement around this has been requested as 80% of the changes being planned will come from the Place Plan rather than the STP. Cllr Pat Knight at Doncaster Council as Chair of the Health & Wellbeing Board has acknowledged receipt of and noted the Place Plan and has confirmed that comments will be made after more local engagement has taken place. Wider input and contributions are being looked at via the wider communications group and Ms Mather has visited Practice Participation Group (PPGs) and the wider PPG Network. It was noted that the pace of change is very rapid on the Place Plan engagement planning, and the involvement and role of a new Strategic Partner to the Doncaster Place Plan will need to be factored in. The Committee agreed that a bulletin such as the CCG ‘In Touch’ bulletin being circulated to the PPGs would be a good way of developing and enhancing engagement. Mr Carpenter agreed to discuss this further with Mr Henry and Mrs Carr. CCG representatives, HWD, and the PPG chair are to meet to agree how the Place Plan would involve wider partners in the development of the engagement strategy. Mrs Hilditch confirmed that a meeting had already been established for the 17th February and that she would reissue the invitation. Co:Create Report and Next Steps Mrs Leighton informed the Committee that Co: Create were commissioned to review the attendance at Doncaster Royal Infirmary’s A&E Department and obtain the patients’ experience of the queuing system. The report also highlights the reasons for patients choosing to attend A&E and shows any common themes. The report identifies that patients seem to be happy with the queuing system at the front door and their overall the experience of Doncaster A&E is positive with the majority of patients being triaged within 10 minutes of arrival. Patients also made some suggestions to improve their general experience of arriving at and waiting in Doncaster A&E, the main one being to change the direction of the queue so that it leads away from the doors.
Co Create have highlighted potential next steps for the work around this which are:
Explore ways to engage more patients, hospital staff and other health professionals to gain a deeper understanding of why and how patients are referred to the A&E Department. Other health professionals to include could be; local GPs,
Mr Carpenter
/ Mr Henry/
Mrs Carr
Mrs Hilditch
6
Practice Nurses, Receptionists, staff at walk-in centres and pharmacies.
Prototype solutions using Design Thinking Methods and ask patients, staff and health professionals for their feedback
Feed back to patients the commitment to improving services. For example “what we will do” and “what you could do” notices in the department.
Arrange for Over2You to complete a 6 month review of the same patient journey
The Committee welcomed and supported these proposed next steps. Mrs Leighton was invited to provide an update and proposal to the Committee once this has been agreed. We asked, you said, we did – Quarter 3 The Committee noted the report and thanked all involved for their work in pulling this together Complaints Quarter 3 Report Mrs Quinn informed the Committee that there has been a reduction in the amount of complaints received but the ones received have been more complex. Mrs Quinn advised that of the 14 complaints received;
3 complaints related to the Continuing Health Care (CHC) Appeals - the time taken, and the process,
3 complaints related to current CHC – the decision-making process, delays in achieving outcomes following assessments, and a change in provider for complex care packages
1 complaint related to non-eligibility regarding Individual Funding Requests.
1 related to the lack of recycling of prescribed medical equipment.
1 related to Children’s CHC provider
1 related to the CHC Fast track process
1 related to a Personal Health Budget
1 related to a CHC retrospective review
2 related to claims for Previously Unassessed Periods of Care (PUPoC)
Mrs Quinn and Mrs Ross are currently attending CHC team meetings and details of the complaints received are fed back to the Senior Teams. 8 MP enquiries were received in quarter 3 and were dealt with as highlighted below;
3 related to a new or existing complaints (included above)
3 were signposted to other providers for a response
1 related to Diabetes Type 1 glucose monitoring
1 related to policy relating to the treatment of Lymphedema
7
23 concerns and enquiries were dealt with in Quarter 3 most of which required signposting to other services / areas.

4. Introduction to Workshop session Mrs Whittle welcomed everyone to the Workshop session, which was planned to lead on from the Communication & Engagement “diagnostic” received from Attain at the last meeting. The key points from the diagnostic were summarised – Attain felt that we are 70% of the way there already and should be pleased with this solid foundation on which to build. Assets on which to build:
A leadership team committed to engagement.
A strong sense of local identity and a shared vision across partner organisations to work strategically towards common goals.
A vibrant, active voluntary & third sector community.
Access to experienced, knowledgeable and committed communications and engagement professionals internally and across the health and public sectors locally.
A recognition amongst partner organisations that NHS Doncaster CCG is changing and that relationships are improving as a result of these changes.
Areas of focus:
Developing and implementing a systematic approach to stakeholder engagement across the CCG, directly linked to our decision-making processes.
Using the information and analysis from this systematic approach to prioritise activities and target resources more effectively to increase engagement with patients and the public
Working with partner organisations to coordinate. communications and engagement activities to provide a more joined-up approach to working with local people, as well as ensure that resources are used efficiently and to their maximum effect .

Workshop 1 – Developing the Principles In this workshop, the group split into tables for group discussions about what NHS Doncaster CCG’s principles for engagement with our population should be. The group considered the Ladder of Engagement and the Gunning Principles: Ladder of Engagement:
Devolving Placing decision-making in the hands of the community and individuals. E.g. Personal Health Budgets, Community Development approach.
Collaborating Working in partnership with communities and patients in each aspect of the decision, including the development of alternatives, and the identification of the preferred solution.
Involving Working directly with communities and patients to ensure that concerns and aspirations are consistently understood and considered. E.g. partnership boards, reference groups, workshops.
Consulting Obtaining community and individual feedback on analysis, alternatives and / or decisions. E.g. patient surveys, citizens’ panels, focus groups, 1:1 interviews.
Informing Providing communities and individuals with balanced and objective information to assist them in understanding problems, alternatives, opportunities, solutions. E.g. websites, newsletters and press releases.
Gunning Principles:
Consultation must take place when the proposal is still at a formative stage;
Sufficient reasons must be put forward for the proposal to allow for intelligent consideration and response;
Adequate time must be given for consideration and response;
The product of consultation must be conscientiously taken into account.
The group agreed the following engagement principles:
1. Lived experience is vital in commissioning healthcare services
effectively.
4
2. Engage together in partnership across Doncaster health and social care services wherever possible, avoiding duplication of engagement activity.
3. Centralise feedback wherever possible through the local statutory voice of the users of health and social care services – Healthwatch Doncaster.
4. Focus CCG engagement activity on the priority areas of the CCG, identifying the best engagement option for each priority area using the Ladder of Engagement.
5. Engagement should be: o Planned (with a clear purpose, scope, limitations and outcomes) o Productive (with a focus on improving health outcomes) o Undertaken early (before decisions are made) o Open, transparent & empowering (clear on what can be
influenced) o Ongoing (proactive conversations rather than reactive to changes) o Inclusive (including targeting more seldom heard groups) o Accessible (times, places, methodologies) o Sustainable (with adequate time and resources)
6. Take the time to feed back to contributors on the outcome of engagement activity, and celebrate engagement successes.
Workshop 2 – Testing the Principles: Dementia Case Study In this workshop, Mrs Clarke, Strategy & Delivery Manager for Dementia, gave a presentation to the group on work in the Dementia commissioning area. Mrs Clarke described:
The rationale for involvement;
Links to the commissioning cycle;
The flow of the patient voice right though the dementia meeting governance structure;
Examples of engagement and listening events;
The patient voice across the dementia commissioning pathway;
The lived experience of people, although anecdotal, is vital for planning the right services in Doncaster.
The group then tested the principles developed in Workshop 1 against the Dementia engagement work to check for “fit” and identify any changes. The group commended Mrs Clarke on the engagement work in the Dementia area, and recommended that this was a presentation which it may be beneficial for the Governing Body to hear, co-presented with patients/carers.
5
Workshop 3 – Prioritising engagement to improve health
outcomes In this workshop, the group started to identify priorities for engagement in 2017/18 and beyond. Our current CCG commissioning priorities were noted as:
Sustainability & Transformation Plan (STP)
Place Plan
Our 12 CCG Delivery Plan areas:
Urgent Care
Intermediate Care
Cancer
Mental Health and Learning Disabilities
Primary Care
Community Services
End of Life Care
Children’s and Maternity
Dementia
Care Homes
Medicines Management
Planned Care As a result of the discussions it was agreed that perhaps our CCG engagement priorities would be better evolving to be Doncaster health engagement priorities to align to our principle around partnership in engagement. It was noted that each of these areas may need a different level of engagement from the Ladder of Engagement. As a starting point, it was agreed that the Communication & Engagement Team could start to engage with the Commissioning Managers for each of the 12 CCG priority areas to introduce the Ladder of Engagement and support assessment of which “step” on the “ladder” each area has both climbed to and aspires to. Following these discussions, we could pilot Engagement & Experience Committee members attending Delivery Boards for the 12 CCG priority areas to co-present the Ladder of Engagement with the Commissioning Managers and engage all participants across the partnership area in the discussions.
5. Summary and next steps Mrs Whittle summarised the outcomes from the Workshop:
We have agreed principles of engagement which we can start
6
to embed into our day-to-day work and throughout the CCG.
We have tested the principles against a good practice case study.
We have agreed the pilot the Ladder of Engagement approach with Commissioning Managers and Delivery Boards.
It was agreed that a summary of the workshop, via some notes, will be presented to the next formal Committee meeting in April.

3. Minutes from the Meeting held on 4 January 2017 The minutes from the Executive Committee meeting held on was agreed as a correct record.
4. Matters Arising Not on the Agenda Fleet Solutions A briefing paper is to be brought to a future informal Senior Management Team Meeting. Market Place Session Mr Fitzgerald informed the committee that the QIPP session planned for 29th March is not going ahead due to availability issues for the staff involved. Governing Body have been updated in relation to the work around this and are happy with the position at the moment. A stocktake exercise is planned for 6 months’ time and monthly updates will be provided to Governing Body. National Diabetes Prevention Programme Wave 2 Mr Fitzgerald advised that no communications have been received in relation to funding as yet. Planned Care Update Mr Carpenter advised that as plans around this are not yet finalised the release of information to the public is scheduled for approximately 2 weeks’ time pending the confirmation and finalisation of the referral process. The Committee agreed that a decision needs to be made as to how much detail we need to share with the general public and how we can make this information easy to understand and that producing an easy read document highlighting the key information may be the best way to take this forward alongside updating the CCG website once information is finalised.

5. Apple Equipment Evaluation
Mr Empson advised the committee that in 2013/14 NHS Doncaster Clinical Commissioning Group (NHS Doncaster CCG) commissioned an information technology project to understand the benefits and limitations of utilising Apple devices on their computer networks. This project has now finished and NHS Doncaster CCG needs to decide on the future of utilising Apple equipment on its infrastructure. Due to the current financial pressures on the CCG and the unavoidable increase in IT support which would be required, it is recommended that this area of work is ceased for the present time but is revisited in 3-4 years’ time. The Executive Committee agreed and approved this recommendation and requested that all existing equipment remains in place and the spare equipment is allocated to SMT and appropriate deputies for contingency purposes.
6. Dermatology Options Paper Mr Roberts advised that following on from the Clinical Reference Group meeting on the 24th November 2016 when the group widely agreed that changes needed to be made to the current Dermatology pathways in Doncaster and that some of the non-symptomatic/Non disfiguring benign skin lesions would now not be treated under any tariff in primary or secondary care. The outcome of these discussions were that the CCG in conjunction with primary and secondary care providers would work in conjunction and provide an options paper re the potential model for Dermatology in Doncaster. The options and recommendations paper has been drawn up based up on best guidance and utilisation of new and existing technology, it also takes into account treatment options with low or no clinical value. The committee reviewed and discussed the options contained within the paper and advised that before a decision can be made work needs to be done around costing’s and the options need to be re- presented to Clinical Reference Group to enable a recommendation to be made to Executive Committee via a business case.
Mr Roberts / Mr Fitzgerald
7. Pregabalin Mr Randerson advised that a new license for neuropathic pain for Alzain (pregabalin) has recently been granted. Compared to the current brand leader, Lyrica (pregabalin) Alzain offers significant in year savings of approximately £750k per annum if patients in Doncaster are swapped to Alzain, for the neuropathic
4
pain indication. Mr Randerson informed the committee that some neighbouring CCGs have already carried out the switch and several other CCG’s are also considering this. There are several residual risks to take into account if the switch is made however these are deemed to be low risks;
Supply/availability - should all CCGs switch across to Alzain the supply chain from a single manufacturer may fail? This would cause significant disruption and reputational damage.
Market development. The likely emergence of generics and Drug Tariff price changes will necessitate a later switch to generic prescribing to maximise medium/long term savings
Challenge from the brand leader manufacturer, Pfizer, which is currently in legal proceedings over breach of patent by generic manufacturers. This risk is likely small but material.
Challenge by NHS England based on current guidance to prescribe Lyrica for neuropathic pain. The guidance is technically extant however NHS England has indicated a revision will be required given entry to the market of competitor products and on completion of current legal proceedings.
Mr Randerson asked the committee to consider the following options and advise which one is to be taken forward;
1. Switch across to generically prescribed pregabalin.
2. Do nothing until generics are readily available (July 2017
at earliest) and reflected in Drug Tariff pricing
3. Work through the risks and benefits of switching across to Alzain with individual practices and offer the medicines management team as a resource to switch patients, should the practice choose this option
The committee agreed that option 1 is not recommended as this would increase the risk of a challenge by NHSE or Pfizer in relation to drug tariff prices. Option two would still impact on finances until implementation. The committee agreed that Option 3 is the preferred option to take forward based on reasonable evidence and information. The operational detail around this option is being worked up and there will be an initial focus on the practices with the highest spends on Pregabalin. This option could be implemented in approximately one months’ time. The committee approved option 3 and also the recommendation to approve the reimbursements of practice postage costs necessarily incurred in the switch over of patients (estimated at around £2k) The Committee also noted that this
5
could be added to Optimise Rx as the ‘drug of choice.’
8. Sore Throat Pharmacy Pilot Mr Randerson explained that a recent pilot was run by Boots pharmacies in London and Leicester around the Sore Throat Test and Treat (STTT) Service. This was a private service which held a charge for the test and also any antibiotics prescribed as a result of the test. A subsequent meeting was held to discuss the findings of this and it was felt that whilst commissioning this service may have the potential to give a significant reduction in the prescribing of antibiotics and also release some GP capacity, there would be difficulties in estimating how effective it would be in Doncaster. If a pilot were to take place, there are 2 broad options: 1/ A Doncaster wide pilot open to any interested pharmacy that could meet the requirements set out, including the appropriate staff training, willingness to work with neighbouring practices and collecting and submitting audit data 2/ A pilot targeted as specific pharmacies chosen based on, in addition to the above factors, proximity to practices with high antibiotic prescribing, late/weekend opening and potentially in a variety of areas with different demographics The committee agreed that there is no capacity to take this work forward at present however wider work with pharmacists, the APC and medicines management team would be beneficial to explore the possibility of carrying out the testing in GP Practices.
9. Consultant Connect Business Case Doncaster Clinical Commissioning Group (DCCG) GP referral demand into planned care services within secondary care providers has grown significantly over the course of the last 3 years. Commissioning for Value and Right Care intelligence indicates that DCCG refer 12% more patients than the national average and 6% more patients than peer group average (attached supporting data). This has inevitably led to demand and capacity pressures within secondary care services, an increase in waiting times for patients and a reduction in quality of patient experience. Increased demand has resulted in a significant increase in spend of £2.5 million over the last 3 years. Research with Primary and Secondary Care Professionals has indicated a clear wish for a simple method for increased communication and patient discussion. Consultant Connect is a UK based telephone solution that allows GPs to contact hospital specialty consultants directly and
6
immediately for advice and guidance. The GP dials a local number and the call is answered by a local specialty consultant, typically in under a minute, pick up rate is 80-90% and calls last between 3-5 minutes. Timely advice can be sought during a patient appointment in the GP consulting room. The calls are recorded for medico-legal purposes and are saved as digitally encrypted files, making the service secure and paperless. Consultant Connect has level 2 information governance toolkits and is secure. A full complement of activity and outcome data is available including referrals avoided, activity volumes, connection speed, and call duration, source of call and source of advice. The Executive Committee agreed that this is a useful piece of work to take forward in 8 speciality areas and also that we need to encourage practice utilisation. The Business Case and proposal was approved by Executive Committee.
10. FDASS Review Mrs Rhodie, Mrs Leighton and Mrs Tingle informed the committee that the Front Door Assessment and Signposting Service (FDASS) was commissioned by NHS Doncaster Clinical Commissioning Group as part of the changes to the Doncaster urgent care system in 2015. The service was commissioned through a full procurement and the tender was won by DBHFT. A review has taken place and the Trust are largely meeting the specifications however more work is being carried out around streaming consistencies. Co Create have carried out a piece of work around FDASS and the actions they have recommended have been implemented and the additional actions have been identified. The committee were advised that the current FDASS service has not seen streaming rates consistently at the level anticipated at the contract outset. As a result DBHFT were asked to consider, as part of the FDASS review, the options available to secure an increase in streaming rates. These options are presented within the FDASS review report and can be summarised as:
Option 1: No Change; no cost implication
Option 2: Increase band 6 lead role to 24/7
Option 3: Change all nurse posts from band 5 to band 6
Option 4: Change model to consultant led.
The committee agreed option 3 and requested that the timings, risk management and system impact costing’s are worked up and outlined in an update to a future Executive Committee

Minute reference
Item
ACTION
It was noted that the JCCC meeting was not quorate as Hardwick CCG was not represented. This would be discussed as part of the agenda.
01/17 Minutes of the Joint Committee of Clinical Commissioning Group meeting held 6 December 2017
4
The minutes were accepted as a true and accurate record subject to the following amendments: Pat Keane to be removed from attendees list. Typo noted under item 28/16: amend to “taken through private Trust Boards.” All matters arising would be picked up on the agenda.
02/17 Children’s Services Acutely Ill Child (AIC) – Final case for change The Children’s Services AIC case for change had been taken through Governing Body and Trust Board meetings. A request was made to the group to take this through public sessions. BM highlighted that North Derbyshire CCG had not taken this document through governing body. This had been on account of debate around Chesterfield Royal NHS Foundation Trust who had now agreed to join the project. The current paperwork did not reflect this and revisions to include Chesterfield to pick up impact were requested. This would be actioned before taking this paper through public. The final document would be circulated virtually when amended. AP highlighted the current situation at Bassetlaw Hospital and the closure of the paediatric wing at night due to nursing workforce shortage. A request was made to include nursing workforce as part of this work. Upskilling GPs in paediatrics was crucial for this work to be picked up as part of the work programme being developed. The JCCC agreed to circulation of the paper in public governing bodies, subject to the changes noted above.
RACHEL GILLOTT RACHEL GILLOTT
03/17 Hyper Acute Services Review update An update was given on the programme of change noting that a key development was a refresh on the risks and mitigations implemented. Cross boundary flows had previously been noted however some further risks were highlighted; particularly the need to actively engage with commissioners to ensure all information pulled together for final business case. An interim report would be brought to the JCCC in March around public consultation.
RACHEL GILLOTT
04/17 Transformation Programme Timeline A timeline was shared with JCCC and noted that a final business case would be brought to the April 2017 meeting. Some challenges and risks around capacity to pull this together on the team and CCGs to ensure all CCGS own final business case were noted. A comment was made that the implications for commissioning must be considered as part of this. At the point that decision was made around change to services, consideration must be given to how commissioning would be mobilised to respond.
5
It was recognised by JCCC that the programme must ensure that feedback was clear within the evaluation report around messages heard from the public consultation. JCCC noted that an interim position on the business case would be discussed at the March meeting and a full business case would be submitted for the April session.
RACHEL GILLOTT
05/17 Public Consultation update – Stroke and Children’s Surgery and Anaethesia JCCC were updated on the position of the public consultation, the independent analysis report for which was still being drafted. It was noted that more than 2,000 responses for both consultations had been received. 11 formal public events had taken place as well as many face to face conversations and focus groups. 19 media articles had been noted and 62,000 websites views. Included in the themes emerging were concerns around travel. Each hospital in the region had submitted a formal response to the consultation with the exception of Sheffield Children’s Hospital NHS Foundation Trust. Key themes noted were around a possible inability to maintain skills for some services where the impact would be greatest, that there was an enthusiasm to collaborate with a clinical network approach and that there needed to be a consideration of budgets around relocating services. JCCC were advised that Barnsley Save Our NHS had submitted a petition. It was noted that the process had been robust and thorough. A request was made that the final analysis of the consultation be broken down by locality and this was agreed. JCCC noted that the final report would be circulated when complete.
HELEN STEVENS HELEN STEVENS
06/17 Joint Committee of Clinical Commissioning Groups Governance manual and terms of reference It had recently come to light that Hardwick CCG had resolved at their Governing Body not to delegate to the JCCC for Children’s Surgery and Anaethesia and the Hyper Acute Stroke Unit Review back in September 2016 but unfortunately this had not been communicated to the Commissioners Working Together Team or JCCC (the North Derbyshire position was that the CCG was a formal member of the committee for the items currently delegated). It was not known at this stage what impact or risk this would pose to the Joint Committee or on the assurance process with NHS E. This would be raised formally with NHS England by EW and picked up with Hardwick CCG to agree the way forward. The first public meeting of the JCCC would take place in April and must therefore be a formally constituted committee by this point. NHS Hardwick CCG had committed to resolving its membership by this point.
EMMA WILSON

An update was given on the NHS Sheffield CCG position further to issues raised at previous JCCC meetings which were now resolved, noting that it had been confirmed that there would be no liability on the part of individual CCG members around a decision that a particular CCG could not support. A discussion took place around assurance for all members, as the JCCC would be a statutory committee from April when it met in public. A considered process and approach would be required for core business. This would be discussed further by AOs and at the next meeting in March. JCCC discussed decision making and governance for the South Yorkshire and Bassetlaw Sustainability and Transformation Plan (SYB STP). BM updated the group on the Derbyshire Sustainability and Transformation Plan, noting that there was a wish to move towards a single commissioner by April 2018. A discussion took place around the current governance arrangements for JCCC, noting that consideration would be required quickly for collective decision making in other areas such as cancer. It was noted that discussions were taking place around system wide commissioning for South Yorkshire and the infrastructure required to support this. A proposal would be developed for March JCCC for further discussion to then be taken to GBs.
ACCOUNTABLE OFFICERS
07/17 Lay member representation A paper was circulated setting out an approach for lay membership recruitment. This had been developed using NHS England and NICE guidance. Comments on this were welcomed around content and how to advertise the role. The positions needed to be in place by the first public meeting in April and support was required on recruitment panel for this. Comments were noted from NHS Sheffield CCG as:
- Time commitment should be re-evaluated to reflect networking with other CCGs and organisations
- Number of lay members being recruited to be considered (whether two was sufficient given breadth and geography of work)
- Possible re-evaluation of lay members being non-voting members of JCCC
- Remuneration was possibly too low and not aligned with other CCGs.
JCCC discussed this and agreed: That remuneration and time commitment for the lay members be readdressed to align with the other CCGs (HT to advise on current rate). That as part of the above, a discussion was also required for clarity around resource commitment for WTP and the STP and JN would be preparing a full paper on this for AOs to consider. That the requirement for demonstrable experience be made clear.
HELEN STEVENS, HAYLEY TINGLE JULIA NEWTON HELEN STEVENS

That the lay members would remain non-voting attendees for JCCCs for the current time, however this could be reviewed in 6 months time. That the posts would be open to current lay members and wider, noting that any successful applicant must relinquish current CCG role if applicable. Current recruitment of CCG Governing Body lay members would be used to inform the document. That the number of lay members would remain at 2 to be reviewed in 6 months time. That an email would be circulated for volunteers to join the recruitment panel. A status report would be given in at March JCCC.
HELEN STEVENS HELEN STEVENS HELEN STEVENS HELEN STEVENS HELEN STEVENS HELEN STEVENS
08/17 SYB STP update JCCC were updated on the South Yorkshire and Bassetlaw Sustainability and Transformation Plan (SYB STP) around progress to date and key next steps. It was noted that an excercise was taking place around the work streams to ensure all work was adding value and not being duplicated at local level. Work was taking place to align the collaborative teams. The Terms of Reference for the CPB were being reviewed to ensure governance arrangements were correctly in place to realise the ambitions outlined within the Plan. The commissioning and hospital services reviews were taking place. It was noted that nationally progress had been made around the STP to develop a set of proposals to enable SYB to accelerate plans. The group was invited to comment. BM updated on the STP in Derbyshire highlighting that the STP should to be the major vehicle to transformation and morph all work under this. It was agreed that BM would share, when publically available, the overview of Derbyshire STP to inform thinking within SYB. LS updated the group on the review of commissioning noting that the strategic planning and transformation function across the footprint had moved to the STP, and providers and commissioners were aligned and moving at pace on the key elements of the commissioning cycle. The review was ongoing. The national landscape was changing while SYB was working through internal local review. Workshops with AOs had taken place and proposals would be taken to CPB, JCCCs and governing bodies on the

commissioning reform. Further national direction was anticipated.
09/17 Sustainable Hospital Services Review (SHSR) WCG updated the JCCC on progress with the SHSR work noting that the Steering Group had met for its inaugural meeting in February. Context to this work was outlined for JCCC, noting the viability of quality and access and sustainability and acute services across the region. This work had specific reliance on new models of care for acute services and commissioner place plans. Terms of reference had been discussed at the STP Collaborative Partnership Board and the Provider Federation, however remained draft until the secretariat was established; the work would be independently led by Jonathan Michael. The purpose of the work and intended benefits were reiterated to the JCCC. The methodology of the previous Provider Working Together approach would be retained, with a tiered approach to services. Objectives and scope were highlighted to the group. A discussion took place around governance. It was noted that the SHSR Steering Group would have close links to the SYB Directors of Commissioning Group to ensure there was a mechanism in place to take recommendations to full business case from a commissioning perspective. JCCC were encouraged to use the slide deck to facilitate discussions at local level. The slides would be circulated to all. A discussion took place regarding the STP Oversight and Assurance Group and approaches to ensure full engagement from all across the patch from the outset with the reviews. The group considered a joint Health and Wellbeing Board approach. It was agreed that the group must provide oversight and assurance of the processes to enact change. This group would not hold decision making power and the statutory function of Health and Wellbeing Boards was to encourage integration and partnership working. Consideration was also given around including a representative Overview and Scrutiny Chair to join the group. After further discussion on this, the JCCC agreed that the Oversight and Assurance Group was the preferred approach initially and could be reviewed at a later date. It was noted that the STP brand would continue nationally however locally it was being revisited as part of the current conversations with the public and staff..
10/17 Commissioning Review update This item was covered under 09/17.
11/17 Any Other Business Future meeting dates Further to discussions at previous JCCC meetings, it was noted that work had taken place to try and ensure there was increased clinical

representation at future meetings. A proposal was put forward to the group and the dates would be confirmed as soon as possible. The JCCC were asked to ensure primary care was represented on the Committee. The venue for the revised dates would rotate across the patch.

Appendix 2 – JC CCGs Terms of Reference
1. Introduction
1.1 The NHS Act 2006 (as amended) (‘the NHS Act’), was amended through the
introduction of a Legislative Reform Order (“LRO”) to allow CCGs to form joint
committees. This means that two or more CCGs exercising commissioning functions
jointly may form a joint committee as a result of the LRO amendment to s.14Z3
(CCGs working together) of the NHS Act.
1.2 Joint committees are a statutory mechanism which gives CCGs an additional option
for undertaking collective strategic decision making and this can include NHS
England too, who may also make decisions collaboratively with CCGs.
1.3 Individual CCGs and NHS England will still always remain accountable for meeting
their statutory duties. The aim of creating a joint committee is to encourage the
development of strong collaborative and integrated relationships and decision-making
between partners.
1.4 The Joint Committee of Clinical Commissioning Groups (‘JC CCGs’) is a joint
committee of:
(1) NHS Barnsley Clinical Commissioning Group;
(2) NHS Bassetlaw Clinical Commissioning Group;
(3) NHS Doncaster Clinical Commissioning Group;
(4) NHS Rotherham Clinical Commissioning Group;
(5) NHS Sheffield Clinical Commissioning Group;
(6) NHS North Derbyshire Clinical Commissioning Group; and
(7) NHS Wakefield Clinical Commissioning Group.
It has the primary purpose of enabling the CCG members to work effectively together, to
collaborate and take joint decisions in the areas of work that they agree.
1.5 In addition the JC CCGs will meet collaboratively with NHS England to make
integrated decisions in respect of those services which are directly commissioned by
NHS England.
1.6 Guiding principles:
Manual/Agreement for JC CCG
33
· Collaborate and co-operate. Do it once rather than repeating or duplicating

CCGs Manual (as updated from time to time), to ensure that activities are
delivered and actions taken as required;
· Be accountable. Take on, manage and account to each other for performance
of the respective roles and responsibilities set out in these Terms of
Reference and in the JC CCGs Manual (as updated from time to time);
· Be open. Communicate openly about major concerns, issues or opportunities
relating to the functions delegated to the JC CCGs, as set out in Schedule 1;
ensuring our collective decisions are based on the best available evidence,
that these are fully articulated, heard, and understood.
· Learn, develop and seek to achieve full potential. Share information,
experience, materials and skills to learn from each other and develop effective
working practices, work collaboratively to identify solutions, eliminate
duplication of effort, mitigate risk and reduce cost whilst ensuring quality is
maintained or improved across all the CCGs;
· Adopt a positive outlook. Behave in a positive, proactive manner;
· Adhere to statutory requirements and best practice. Comply with applicable
laws and standards including EU procurement rules, data protection and
freedom of information legislation.
· Act in a timely manner. Recognise the time-critical nature of the functions
delegated to the JC CCGs as set out in Schedule 1, and respond accordingly
to requests for support;
· Manage stakeholders effectively;
· Deploy appropriate resources. Ensure sufficient and appropriately qualified
resources are available and authorised to fulfil the responsibilities set out in
these Terms of Reference and in the JC CCGs Manual (as updated from time
to time);
· Act in good faith to support achievement of the Key Objectives as set out in
the JC CCGs Manual and compliance with these Principles.
1.7 The JC CCG has a commitment to ensuring that in pursuing its Key Objectives it
does not increase inequalities or worsen health outcomes for any local populations.

in place so that they can assure themselves that the exercise by the JC CCGs of
their functions is compliant with statute.
10. The JC CCGs will meet the requirement for CCGs to comply with the obligation to
consult the relevant local authorities under s.244 of the NHS Act and the associated
Regulations.
11. To continue to work in partnership with key partners e.g. the local authority and other
commissioners and providers to take forward plans so that pathways of care are

12. The JC CCGs will be delegated the capacity to propose, consult on and agree future
service configurations that will shape the medium and long terms financial plans of
the constituent organisations. The JC CCGs will have no contract negotiation powers
meaning that it will not be the body for formal annual contract negotiation between
commissioners and providers. These processes will continue to be the responsibility
of Clinical Commissioning Groups (and NHS England) under national guidance,
tariffs and contracts during the pre-consultation and consultation periods.

03/17 National update from the STP Lead The STP CPB were updated on a time-out for the STP leads taking place in January 2017 and it was anticipated that a further national update would be available at this session. LS updated the group on an STP summit, highlighting a case study presented to this group by Simon Stevens. There was also reference at the session to ensuring fragmentation between organisations was proactively resolved. Discussions had taken place on the challenges to come together for the planning of the STP and therefore consideration was required around ensuring there was capacity to deliver the plans. Discussions had taken place around leading at an organisational level as well as leading across the wider footprint to underpin the STP and that engaging Councilors as part of the process was crucial. There had been a focus at the session on ensuring systems were not “stifled by regulation.” The group noted that local contracts were signed off, highlighting a shift in behaviours between systems and organisations to achieve this at such an early stage. It was anticipated that the direction of travel for the STP would emerge shortly and would move from plan to implementation. A delivery timetable would be developed collaboratively. An electronic update would be circulated weekly sharing work and best practice within the STP.
04/17 Summary update to the Collaborative Partnership Board/ Transformation funding to support clinical priority areas The STP CPB was updated on work within the Mental Health and Learning Disabilities and Cancer work streams. Mental Health and Learning Disabilities The group noted that a Mental Health and Learning Disabilities Steering Group had been established and would review the Case for Change and agree next steps for four priority focus areas. An initial meeting of the Mental Health Provider Alliance between RDaSH and SHSCT would be held in January. It was noted that capacity had been identified as the main risk. An update on the transformation bid was given: Integrated IAPT The purpose was outlined: to expand the IAPT workforce to offer psychological therapies to long term conditions pathways and for people with medically unexplained symptoms, evidence for highest savings from Diabetes, Cardiovascular and Respiratory Disease. This supported the five year forward view (FYFV) access target that by 2020/21, at least 25% of people with common mental health conditions could access services each year. The total national funding available was highlighted as £20m in 2017/18. Urgent and Emergency Mental Health Services
6
The purpose was outlined: to pump prime and accelerate existing plans to expand acute hospital liaison mental health services so that they operate at the required standard within one year of receiving the funding. This supported the FYFV target that by 2020/21, all acute hospitals would have all-age mental health liaison teams in place, and at least 50% of these would meet the required standard service standard as a minimum. The total national funding available was highlighted as £19m in 2017/18 and 2018/19 and the approach taken was outlined to the group. Learning Disabilities – Reducing reliance on specialist inpatient care The purpose was outlined: supporting the implementation of the Transforming Care Partnerships three year plans for reforming services, in line with Building the Right Support, October 2015. This had included strengthening support in the community and reviewing specialist inpatient services . The total national funding available was highlighted as £15m in 2017/18 and £15m in 2018/19. Reduction in children placed away from their home and local community The purpose was outlined: providing Positive Behavioural Support based services for children to improve support for children and young people that display behaviour that challenges and prevents escalation and the need to be looked after away from home. The total national funding available was highlighted as £1m in 2017/18 and 2018/19. Cancer The STP CPB was asked to note that the current process covered 2017/18 and 2018/19 only. Colleagues from the South Yorkshire, Bassetlaw and North Derbyshire Cancer Alliance member organisations had supported the development of the Delivery Plan and Transformation Fund Bid. A draft Delivery Plan and bid was supported in principle by the Cancer Alliance Board. The Delivery Plan added to the next level of detail onto the work undertaken by the STP Cancer work stream. Includes funding to support the Cancer Alliance in 2017/18 & 2018/19. An update on the transformation bid was given: Cancer Transformation fund bids Early Diagnosis The purpose of the bid was outlined: the funding would be to support the interventions on early diagnosis in the Cancer Alliance delivery plan. The bid proposed a package of interventions. Recovery package The purpose of the bid was outlined: existing funded Living With And Beyond Cancer programme with Macmillan and all localities within our Cancer Alliance footprint and therefore the bid focused on integrating
7
‘electronic holistic needs assessments’ into existing Trust systems. In response to a query, it was confirmed that the early diagnosis bid would be focused on reducing inequalities and to move the Cancer Alliance agenda forward. It was agreed that the Mental Health and Learning Disabilities and Cancer bids would cross reference one another, acknowledging the work to be done. Diabetes The STP CPB noted that the bids were being developed locally. The bids being submitted were structured into four components; education, NICE treatment targets, multi-disciplinary foot care teams, and inpatient specialist nursing services. There were links between places for some elements of the bids. All transformation bids would be submitted on behalf of SYB by the STP PMO by 18 January 2017 (IAPT bid due 25 January 2017). As part of a general update, the STP CPB noted key next steps for the coming months. The group was reminded of the approach taken to develop the STP, and how this had been worked through in terms of the STP process. The themes and priorities of the STP were highlighted, using place plans and the submission of the STP. An outline on establishing the workstreams was delivered. Collaborative programmes, projects and the task and finish groups were outlined, showing where there was a clearly defined project and programme to deliver and where this was under development that would change and evolve. The group was invited to comment. In response to a query around demonstrating place on the diagram, it was confirmed that place colleagues had been asked to overlay workstream information with local work taking place alongside the work of across SYB. Strategic direction and coordination would take place at SYB level for those workstreams for those workstreams that SYB coordinate for whole system delivery. The presentation would be developed further to reflect this. In response to a query around community integration, it was confirmed that the programmes outlined in the presentation to STP CPB were collaborative, connecting with place. Discussions would be required around what was taking place at South Yorkshire and Bassetlaw level and local. Key outputs over the past year were highlighted to the STP CPB, including the STP, Commissioning Intentions, the cases for change, the implementation plan, and place plans. System wide objectives were noted by the STP CPB. An update was given on the financial strategy noting triangulation between the financial plans submitted in December and the STP submitted in October 2016. Changes in assumptions were outlined to

the group which may reflect increased financial risk, noting deterioration in the underlying position, Clinical Commissioning Group (CCG) allocation adjustments to reflect changes in national tariff and identification rules, non-recurrent income not reflected in control totals, that clinical negligence scheme for trusts premium increases may not be cost neutral as assumed in the STP plan, that financial plans between commissioners and providers may not be aligned, and the delivery risks on provider Cost Improvement Programme plans and commissioner Quality, Innovation, Productivity and Prevention plans. It was proposed that work would take place on the workstreams and priorities to ensure clarity on deliverables, enabling the STP to track back what the ask was of the financial gap, working with place and having focus on the SYB outputs. This was supported. Work was also taking place around how the STP would develop as a whole system. Workshops had taken place around how this would happen. There existed already cross-working between collaboratives. A proposal would be taken to both programme boards to set out how to best align the delivery teams to support the STP. The STP CPB noted that the current meeting schedules would be readdressed. Work would take place around this and a proposal given to the group. It was agreed that the narrative presented was helpful and would be used to update organisations across the patch. This would be further developed and circulated. The presentation would also be circulated in its current format for information.

05/17 Communications and engagement approach to public consultation HS updated the STP CPB on work undertaken with communication and engagement colleagues across the partnership. The group had been developing the shape of discussions with the public. An approach and principles had been agreed. The STP CPB noted these:
• That this must be an open conversation
• That the difficult issues faced should be outlined and ask for
views and what is important
• That public conversations would be led by Healthwatch and the
voluntary sector, with commissioner support
• That staff conversations would be led by provider teams, with
STP support
• That political conversations would be led by STP partners, with
STP support
• That these discussions would happen at place level.
The governance approach for this was outlined; a task and finish group to be established made of representatives from all areas, co-
9
creating the plan and timelines. A report would be delivered to the STP CPB in April 2017. It was agreed that actions at local level must be cohesive and consistent. In response to a query, it was confirmed that discussions and engagement with members would take place in February 2017. An update was given on the HASU and Children’s Services consultation. A piece of work had been undertaken at the midpoint of the consultation, and as a result of the outcomes of this review, the deadline had been extended to 14 February. At the end of this process, an independent analysis would take place to show key themes and feedback. The draft report would be given to the STP CPB and Joint Healthy Overview and Scrutiny Committee before being taken to the Joint Committee of Clinical Commissioning Groups.
HELEN STEVENS
06/17 Health, disability and employment The STP CPB noted the data presented around the numbers of unemployment across the patch and the landscape across the city region and that initiatives were taking place across the city region/city. Money was available across the city region and what was required now was coordination and potentially to collaborate. The STP CPB was invited to comment. It was noted that two elements that would impact on health were employment and cessation of smoking. A request was made to ensure links were made to the workforce workstream, particularly around possibilities with apprentices. It was highlighted that discussions and engagement with employers was crucial to ensure occupational health services were utilised appropriately in organisations. It was noted that access to support must be simplified and links to IAPT for this was important. The STP CPB approved this work in principle. Further detail including baseline metrics would be brought back to the STP CPB.
GREG FELL (CHRIS SHAW)
07/17 Healthy Lives The STP CPB noted the Healthy Lives workstream related to three elements; scaling up primary care, workforce and healthy lifestyles. A key recommendation for this was employment and smoking. The STP was asked to sign up to a 10% prevalence for smoking in SYB. Detail around work that all could collaborate on was also highlighted. The group was invited to comment. It was highlighted that the 10% prevalence target felt ambitious. The timescale was confirmed as 5 years. In response to a query it was confirmed that the resource
10
requirements for this work had been included in the STP plan. It was commented that there was work that acute providers could do to support this. A discussion took place around smoking and mental health and that the work needed to align with the MH workstream to change the prevalence trend. The STP CPB committed to aspirations outlined in principle requesting that constituent organisations be consulted and a considered approach be delivered back to the STP CPB for final approval in April/May.
GREG FELL
08/17 STP governance terms of reference The STP CPB was sighted on detail of the establishment of the Governance Group. Two initial pieces of work were agreed at the first meeting; to draft out the terms of reference (ToR) and to produce a summary of the governance as it currently existed and to work with boards and members to consider what future governance could look like. Two gaps were noted in membership for Local Authority and Medical Director representation which would be considered further. A discussion took place, noting that Neil Riley was linked to this work with experience in his previous role of board secretary. The STP CPB supported the ToR.
09/17 Workforce terms of reference The STP CPB were updated on the Local Workforce Action Board which had a programme of work established. A briefing would be developed, giving a comprehensive overview of the workforce landscape. A briefing would then be delivered to the board in 3-4 months time. A workstream lead was required. HEE would fund this. Business intelligence would be provided by HEE but links would be required locally. The STP CPB supported the ToR and agreed to contribute to this piece of work where required.
10/17 Independent review of hospital services The STP CPB were updated on the progress around the Sustainable Hospital Review, noting the draft ToR had been agreed, steering group membership was being established and that the first meeting was taking place 7 February 2017. A project plan was being developed as well as a business case to engage support from NHS England and NHS Improvement. In response to a query, it was noted that an initial task of the steering group would be to define what sustainable services would mean. It was confirmed that the amendments to the TOR in light of discussions at the previous meeting around researched were accepted.
11
An update would be given at the next meeting.
11/17 Review of commissioning The STP CPB were updated on the review of commissioning, noting that an external consultancy would be engaged to work with CCGs and that a fuller scope would be developed. A senior commissioning operations group would be established, the first meeting of which was taking place 13 January. The ambition outlined was for shadow commissioning arrangements to be in place by April 2017, aligning with the pace of the hospital services review.
12/07 Social Kinetic 3De proposal The group was updated on a meeting that had taken place around the leadership work with Social Kinetic and the proposal was that the STP CPB would engage with this group and utilise a future meeting to start this work. The STP CPB supported taking this work forward.

The Chair gave an update on the STP Executive Time Out of 2/3 March 2017 noting that a national Delivery Plan would be published on 28 March naming SYB as one of the leading STPs of the 44. This had been agreed at the time out by SYB STP Executives. The SYB STP would move from a transactional way of working to a transformational one through integrated pathway redesign. How business was currently conducted would continue for 17/18, and over the coming months, partners would work together with NHS England to develop a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU). The SYB STP would move to a managed system of accountable care and the plan would be recast with refreshed additional national priorities with transformational funding around:
- Urgent and emergency care (UEC) (e.g. redesign of 111, single point of access, urgent care centres, social care etc)
- Demand management elective and diagnostic (e.g. referral management services, alternative care outside hospitals etc).
- Primary care (e.g. risk stratification, long term condition management, extended access etc.).
- Discharge management (e.g. enablement, intermediate care social care etc).
Agreement had been reached at the time out that UEC would be a major focus for year one, to resolve local issues and align nationally. The draft MOU would be considered at a further STP Executive Team time out on 28 April 2017. The Chair updated the STP CPB on a meeting with the Secretary of State. It was noted that, as an exemplar STP, SYB would receive a package of funding, still to be determined. It was confirmed that this would be embedded within the MOU as money for transformation funding. This money would also be received in the knowledge that bids had been submitted in some areas. It was confirmed that guidance from the Department for Communities and Local Government was anticipated. In response to a query raised around risk stratification in Primary Care, the Chair confirmed that this was in reference to populations that utilise 70% of resource, and within this, addressing the parts of this population that were the most complicated to ensure this tranche were as independent as possible. In response to a query raised, it was confirmed that Mental Health remained a key STP work stream, and that the reset around UEC included general and mental health. A comment was made that a specialised Mental Health and Learning Disabilities work stream would be required with representative interest in various other work streams. The CPB were asked to note that principles would need to be
6
developed as part of the MOU around how the system would work with regulators around assurance and accountability. This would be considered as part of the 17/18 work. The CPB agreed to use the local and national STP update paper to support local discussion and share in private Board sessions, to continue to support the direction of travel for SYB to become an exemplar and development of an MOU, and confirmed support for SYB to be named in the National Delivery Plan as an exemplar STP.

17/17 Finance update
JC updated the CPB, noting: Work to compare STP with operational plans for 17/18 and 18/19
Work was complete and had been shared with the Directors of
Finance (DoFs). All organisations had signed up to the control totals
for 17/18 with the exception of The Rotherham NHS Foundation
Trust, which had submitted a draft revised plan and would have further
discussion with NHS Improvement (NHSI) around agreeing a revised
control total.
The CPB were asked to note identified risks in 17/18 with delivering
Cost Improvement Programmes (CIP) and Quality Innovation
Productivity and Prevention (QIPP) plans and the differences between
commissioner and provider plans reflecting an assessment by
providers on the likely success of QIPP plans
It was agreed that the CPB would receive a monthly update financial
performance across the STP in the new financial year.
Financial modelling
An exercise had taken place to understand how the solutions built into
the STP were calculated and was nearing completion. This would be
shared with finance and other colleagues as appropriate. This would
give greater visibility to the assumptions and calculations used in the
financial model.
Options were being looked at with regards future financial modelling in
the short and medium term and a proposal would be taken to the
DoFs meeting in April.
A meeting with Jon Swift, NHS England (NHSE) had identified that a
Band 8c finance post should shortly be available to the STP either as
a person or funding as there was currently a vacant post.
STP budget
The DoFs had agreed the forecast outturn for 16/17 which showed an
7
underspend primarily due to slippage on the Sustainable Hospital
Services Review which would impact on the 17/18 budget.
A revised indicative budget for 17/18 would be shared with DoFs but
was unlikely to be finalised until April when clarity around funding from
NHSE/NHSI was received. This would be brought back to the April or
May CPB.
STP DoF
The DoF group had met twice and comprised 21 members from
providers, commissioners, local authorities and NHSE and NHSI.
The group would report to the Finance Oversight Committee and had
developed terms of reference which would be approved at the March
meeting.
The DoFs group would consider the Stroke and Children’s business
cases at a future meeting.
The risks outlined were noted by CPB and it was highlighted that the STP must consider moving work on quickly around back office functions as part of the recast of the plan and development of the MOU. The CPB discussed the importance of undertaking a review of commissioning back office functions on an STP footprint. A discussion took place around commissioning integrating at place level. It was noted that detail around the Accountable Care System needed to be worked through. It was noted that health providers and commissioners working together more closely and in an integrated way was taking place, with a redefining of health commissioning that needed to take place in the context of a managed system. It was agreed that the Directors of Finance group would work up a proposal on how transformation funding could be used and whether a collaborative approach could be taken to jointly commission work to leverage cost improvements and whether that could be supported by transformation funding.

18/17 Summary update to collaborative partnership board The report was circulated for all to use to locally update teams. The CPB were updated on discussions from January that a stock take would take place around deliverables from each work stream noting that this was underway and in light of the Delivery Plan and development of the MOU, this was being reconsidered.
19/17 STP communications and engagement approach to public consultation The CPB were informed that a public engagement exercise was taking place and was currently half was through the process. Early data received indicated that there was a clear mandate from staff and the
8
public for change. The data would be fully analysed on completion and recommendations likely to include a new narrative while continuing to continue to engage staff and the public. CB confirmed positive local discussions with a general acceptance that change within the system was required. AE confirmed strong input from Barnsley Save Our NHS that was useful and comments were welcomed. It was commented that the questionnaire had been received by General Practitioners and that this was a positive step to engage and public and staff. The CPB noted the early report and would receive the full analysis when complete.

20/17 Public consultation – Hyper Acute Stroke Services and Children’s Surgery and Anaesthesia Services The CPB were updated on the results of the public consultation for the Hyper Acute Stroke Services and Children’s Surgery and Anaesthesia Services reviews. The methodology of the process was outlined to the CPB and the activity undertaken was outlined, noting connections had been made to seldom heard groups, and to those organisations and groups that would be directly affected by change. The numbers of responses received was outlined and broken down by locality and the themes that emerged were highlighted to CPB. HS advised the consistent picture was that there was mixed support for the proposals and the main concerns highlighted were around the impact on families. It was confirmed that themes raised previously by the Joint Overview and Scrutiny Committee (JOSC) were embedded within the analysis. The JOSC had a duty to carry out on behalf of local people and these would be addressed in the presentation delivered to the JOSC on 3 April. It was confirmed that a decision at the Joint Committee of Clinical Commissioning Groups (JCCC) would be taken based on the views of the local people as well as the clinical and financial case for change. A comment was made that an interesting result of the analysis was around access to services and patient safety, and that communications for the STP should make clear that place plans and local treatment for local people were fundamental to the STP and a small proportion of patients would need to move for specialist care. It was highlighted that a freedom of information act request had been received by the Yorkshire Ambulance Service around the impact on the ambulance service as a result of the consultations. This would be

discussed further outside the meeting. It was highlighted that this work was a test bed for the whole of the STP and lessons had been learned from the process. Connections would be required from this work to the STP when funding was clarified. The CPB noted that the full analysis would be taken to:
• Joint Overview and Scrutiny Committee (3 April) • Joint Committee Clinical Commissioning Groups (for
discussion in April and decision in May) • Widely share with all stakeholders, people who completed the
consultations and made publicly available via the website

21/17 Independent review of hospital services The CPB were informed that the second Sustainable Hospitals Services Review (SHSR) Steering Group had taken place and was well supported by all partners. Final sign off for the Invitation to Tender (ITT) had been received andwould be used to tender for secretariat support to this extensive programme of work. This was out to tender. The first moderation including partners from the steering group would be taking place on 5 April. A robust process was taking place to ensure the right engagement was in place on the core steering group. Discussion took place at the SHSR Steering Group around the independent review director and it had been agreed to progress the recruitment of a review director. This would not result in a delay in process. How the review would move forward was being discussed. Key roles and approaches to take forward had been previously outlined. Senior project support was required to steer and support the group. Detail of this was being worked through. This would all be in place by the beginning of May. A full update would be written and shared virtually to enable a full update for all private Boards and Governing Bodiess within the next two weeks.

22/17 Review of commissioning An outline of the process to date was given to CPB, noting the review of commissioning had reflected the need for a collective transformation plan, and likely to move to the collective delivery of this plan. This process had highlighted that commissioning needed to happen at system and at place level. It was noted that it was likely to continue as currently established during 17/18 with the Joint Committee of Clinical Commissioning Groups making decisions for the system. Within the last two weeks, it had become clear that removing the commissioner and provider split would be the direction of travel
10
with a view to moving to system reform by 18/19 rather than commissioning reform. A typo was noted and corrected on page 4 of the document. The next steps were highlighted; that a programme director would be recruited, to work on the immediate asks and to shape the future direction of travel, at system and at place level. It was highlighted that local authorities should be part of this work early on. It was noted that work was taking place in Sheffield to create a platform for a partnership approach with different models being explored around this. The shift in thinking was a positive development. It was noted that guidance was anticipated around links between specialised commissioning and place plans and this would be shared when available with LS. CPB was reminded that the paper had been produced by Chief Officers with a focus on system as the direction of travel. The messages and challenges were the same for system as for place; integration of provision and commissioning. CPB noted the next phases of development for the commissioning reform.

23/17 Healthy Lives work stream update A paper was circulated to CPB following an update given in January and the subsequent request for further detail on the Healthy Lives work stream. An update was given on the three components of the work stream, cardiovascular disease and lifestyle risk, social prescribing and work and health. CPB were asked to note the ongoing work, the ambition of the programme and the recommendation that implementation of the Healthy Lives work was principally local within place based plans, with an undertaking of some activity consistently in each area and that there were elements that should be embedded in each of the work streams. CPB were asked to note the current infrastructure gap across the patch for work and health and employment support. It was agreed that the Chief Executive of Sheffield Health and Social Care would write to the Chief Executive of the Sheffield City Region (SCR) to propose joint infrastructure to share across the SCR/STP patch and clarify how this would be taken forward. It was noted that the national team for social prescribing was working with Rotherham. It was anticipated that three STPs would be selected for national roll out of social prescribing and that SYB could be one and therefore might be funding available. This would be considered as part of the MOU. CPB noted an overlap around a care navigation role that was developing, noting that CCGs had funded online training for primary care staff within Wakefield. As part of this, some evaluation from social

prescribing was being done should be fed into the development of care navigation. A comment was made that social prescribing was currently dependent upon an effective voluntary service system and the risks around the lack of guarantee that these services would exist in the future were noted. A discussion took place around the risks noted around implementation and delivery. Further work would be done on future iterations of the detail and more clearly linking to resource need that had been identified in the original submission. It was commented that the ambition of the work stream would be tailored to the resources available. Detail outlined with financial calculations were a work in progress in terms of linking back to overall STP funding. This paper would be discussed at local Health and Wellbeing Boards.

24/17 Social Kinetic 3De proposal for leadership analysis CPB noted the next steps from the workshop held on 3 February to develop a narrative with public conversations. A request would be circulated requesting nominations of 3-4 people per organisation to complete the next stage of the survey and a date to convene all in may for a second workshop would be established.
25/17 Working Together Partnership Vanguard 17-18 Correspondence was circulated to confirm funding for the Vanguard programme and this was likely to be part of the total funding package SYB. As part of the plan refresh, funding for the Vanguard would be considered to ensure alignment to the Delivery Plan including exploring possibilities around managed clinical networks.
26/17 Action to get A&E back on track An update was given on the regional A&E Delivery Board, noting that A&E performance was top of list of priorities. Richard Barker (NHSI) would be overseeing the SYB STP A&E Delivery and would be meeting with the UEC team. Current A&E delivery plans had been reviewed against the national 10 point plan to ensure all requirements were being met and work was taking place to understand what could be done at SYB level and what was an issue at place level. A strong support team was required to undertake this work. A discussion took place around the principles to utilise money made available for social care to in part free up acute hospital beds. A meeting would be established to discuss further with an LA CEO, MR and LB.
