What’s happened since our first meeting?
Shared place-based planning guidance
Financial deficit continues to
escalate
NHS Improvement team and approach
clearer
16/17 financial recovery plan and
control totals
Junior Doctors industrial action & contract imposition
More new care models and MH & maternity reviews
What is the current mood music?
• Reversing the car out of the financial ditch … but is 16/17 plan enough? • Danger car veers straight back into ditch once frontloaded spending runs out
• Very difficult driving conditions!
What will we cover?

Sustainability and Transformation Plans
• Strategic, multi year, place based plan to set alongside single year, institution based, operational plans
• Come together with your local place, address the wicked issues and develop a long term plan to transform care and plot a path to long term sustainability
Objective
• Agree footprint: 44 now set; interplay with other footprints • Identify named co-ordinator: being set; mixed setting process (agreement /
vote / central influence); mixed profile of provider, CCG, local authority leaders
• Milestones: • April short return per footprint including gap analysis, governance and
priorities; refine plans over April, May, June; more on nine ‘must do’s’ identified for 16/17 and beyond;
• Summer: 30 June: submission of final plans – including local digital roadmaps; July: regional conversations with area teams over July
Process
Issues and risks
Whose STPs are these: each local system’s or the centre’s?
Danger of this becoming the usual top down, centrally driven, Xmas tree bauble laden, NHS planning process
This will only work if local systems come together, own the process and tackle the difficult issues…
… Given this, are the scope and timelines too ambitious?
What early signals have been sent on footprint; appointment of co-ordinators; timeline?

16/17 control totals: “No financial bridge explains our target”
Source: NHS Providers survey (Jan 2016)
THE ASK • Of 60 respondents
• Majority (40) allocated surplus control total
• Control totals range from a deficit of -£42m to +£14.7m
• Average control total of £0.2m • Significant gaps between 2016/17
plans and what control totals require
YOUR VIEWS • 20% planned to reject total. For others: • Numbers do not make sense - the floor has
fallen away since M6; does not take account of non-recurrent schemes; wildcard of CCG penalties
• Hobson’s choice – need STF so will sign and try our best, or sign and risk under delivery. Heavy caveats.
• What happens – if we underdeliver, how do we agree trajectories, what happens if we said no?
• Governance issues and consequences to work through
And where are we up to with the £22 billion? • Carter Review: 15 recommendations for NHS
Improvement (mainly) to adopt / you to deliver • Range from new metrics (care hours per patient
day) to reduction in administration costs & need for a national people strategy
• Ongoing work with mental health now, model hospital and potential NED training
• At max, adoption will save £5bn by 2019/20 but providers only signed up to £3 bn.
• On the rest of the £22bn: “You have to ask the Olympians for the rest of the view. I’m just one of Santa’s little helpers.” Lord Carter of Coles
Where’s plan / comms / service validation? • Worry that £22bn savings relies far too much on:
o 1% pay increases for rest of parliament o Demand management o New care models savings o Benefits from service reconfigurations
Overview of finances
2015/16
2016/17
2017/18
Rising deficits met with kitchen sink: agency controls, cap/rev swaps and balance sheet adjustments. Real vs reported picture.
Extra funding through STF and more helpful tariff vs. constantly growing pressure. Best current provider sector guess -£500m.
DH budget growth starts to slow just as new initiatives such as 7DS come online. More sustainability funding needed for provider surplus
Frontloaded 2016/17
and 2017/18 settlement gets car
most / all way out of ditch but huge
challenge to deliver.
Lack of clarity on savings; impact of
extra policy commitments; and
0.3% and 0.7% funding increases 2018/19 and
2019/20 mean car heads straight back to
ditch after 2017/18
And what about transformation funding – short term fire fighting vs long term transformation?

NHS Improvement’s approach
• Short term “grip”; longer term, return to “earned autonomy”
• Shared measures of success and
recognition of the interplay between quality/finance/access:
- CQC rating of “good” and above - access targets - financial balance/control totals • Board structure announced • Keeping TDA regional model, aligning
with NHS England teams • Provider ‘roadmap’ and 11 Feb event
gave a good indication of focus and future direction.
Source: diagram from NHS Improvement (Feb 2016)
• Use CQC’s quality rating • Success will be a good or outstanding rating Quality
• With CQC, co-developing use of resources assessment • Methodology will reflect recommendations of Carter • Focus on returning to financial balance asap
Finances / Use of resources
• Focus on small number of core NHS standards and targets Operational performance
• Build on existing governance tools (e.g. well led framework) • Shared system view on what good leadership looks like Leadership
• Developing an assessment of strategic delivery with NHS England Strategic change
A shared definition of success

Alignment with CQC’s new strategy 2016-21
A focus on six themes: • Improving CQC’s use of data and information * • Implementing a single shared view of quality between
providers and the regulator * • Targeting and tailoring inspection activity to ensure become
more risk based – the comprehensive inspection may become the exception not the norm
• Developing a more flexible approach to registration in part
to accommodate new care models • Assessing how well hospitals use resources in alignment
with NHS Improvement * • Developing methods to assess quality for populations and
across local areas • Overall, a greater focus on CQC’s own value for money
underpinned by significant changes to fees to offset reduction in grant-in-aid funding
*= area of focus for us
Our position and approach
Recognise the importance of NHS Improvement within the national landscape
Recognise that the financial and operational environment in which NHS providers operate has altered significantly
Strong relationship with new NHSI senior leadership team. Privately, remain supportive to maximise influence, but robust in our discussions.
Publicly, tolerate some shorter term “grip” to return the sector to balance and while NHS Improvement establishes itself….
….on the understanding that NHS Improvement’s philosophy for the medium to long term really is underpinned by a belief in, and a return to, provider autonomy
Continue to champion the pillars of FT status and to ensure that board accountability is not blurred
Explore opportunities where we can work with NHS Improvement in support of the sector
Six things we are, privately, being very robust about
16/17 financial outcome and control totals
NHS Improvement and short term grip vs longer term earned autonomy (we have been commissioned for rapid work on this )
NHS England, CCG, and specialised commissioning understanding of provider task & support for providers
Provider size of task vs available management capacity
New, uncosted, policy commitments, priorities, and Ministerial initiatives
National system leadership on workforce issues

THE PRESENT
Final contract published, local
engagement beginning
Full withdrawal of labour 8am-5pm on 26
and 27 April
BMA and separate crowd-funded judicial
reviews of the decision
High frustration, and low morale
THE FUTURE
Centre clear that consistent and universal
imposition required
Long term impact on morale and need to address with strong
emphasis on local action
Rip plaster off quickly?
Consultant contract: on hold while junior dispute
continues?

NAO criticism of NHS clinical workforce planning
“Given the size of the NHS, workforce planning will never be an exact science, but we think it clearly could be better than it is. Equally, the way in which staff shortfalls are filled can be, and often is, unnecessarily costly and inefficient. Since clinical staff are the NHS’s main resource and cost, these shortcomings are serious and the current arrangements do not achieve value for money.” Amyas Morse, head of the National Audit Office, February 2016
MAC criticism of nursing workforce planning
It is clear to us that the current shortage of nurses is largely of the health, care and independent sectors’ own making. The sectors failed to train enough nurses or failed to make provision to train their own nurses should the supply of publicly funded nurses fail. They have taken either no or insufficient account of the needs of other sectors when making their planning assumptions. They restricted pay growth. They have complex institutional structures, which blur the decision-making process and lead, amongst other things, to poor information and data making it difficult for them (and us) to understand and respond meaningfully to labour shortages. They did not learn the lessons from the late 1990s/early 2000s when a similar shortage (and reliance on foreign nurses) occurred. Almost all of these issues relate to, and are caused by, a desire to save money. But this is a choice, not a fixed fact. The Government could invest more resource if it wanted to. Migration Advisory Committee, March 2016
So… time for a National Workforce Strategy Board?
“December 2014 saw the announcement of a Workforce Advisory Board chaired by Health Education England. However, its terms of reference, membership, agenda and minutes have not been published, it is unclear if it has met, and HEE does not have the reach across the national architecture to convene the system or to steward organisations over which it has no formal authority.” “We recommend the formation of a National Workforce Strategy Board to take forward this new approach. Responsibility for workforce policy is widely distributed, yet the Department of Health remains the most influential single workforce organisation and should convene and lead this group.” Health Foundation, March 2016
Meanwhile… an emerging workforce strategy?
• (Demand) Quality/Finance balance; new safe staffing guidance (MDT approach?)
• (Supply) Agency controls, MAC shortage list & Tier 2 visas decision, move from bursaries to student loans and increase training places
Stabilise the market
Transform
• Coordinated approach to supporting leadership pipeline - aspiring CEOs programme
• New roles such as Band 4 nursing associate • New care models • Much better and more dynamic matching of
supply and demand
• Overall staff engagement levels up again, but health and wellbeing results mixed, with pay restraint and more bruising contract negotiations to come
• Agency controls having some impact, but £2.7bn agency spend still £1bn over plan at Q3 2015/16
Current position
Leadership Development – We Need Your Support • Concrete action to support senior provider leaders, working
closely with NHS Improvement and NHS Leadership Academy
• Aspiring CEO programme: 1st cohort of 14 recruited and 30% through programme; 2nd cohort recruitment about to start; NHSI funded. We need you to: o Identify candidates o Use graduates as first port of call for CEO candidate pool o Identify potential Stretch assignments
• Support for newly appointed CEOS: already launched via
NHSLA website; action learning set plus mentor plus coach plus learning; provider funded. We need you to: o Encourage / require new CEOs to join
• Currently talking to NHSI about developing existing aspirant
trust programme into wider Provider Board Development programme. We need you to: o Help set up top class senior provider leader reference
group: volunteers please

Emergency Care Data Set (ECDS)
• The Emergency Care Data Set (ECDS) will be a new national data set for urgent and emergency care (from Type 1 Major to Type 4 Walk in departments). The ECDS will replace the current Accident & Emergency Commissioning Data Set (CDS type 010).
• Development led by Department of Health, Royal College of Emergency and partners, programme chaired by national clinical director for urgent care Jon Benger
• The problems to address through this work are: • Data not fit for purpose for meaningful clinical management or costing • Not collecting the right things e.g. some fields redundant, some fields need to be
added (e.g. acuity, injury data) • Poor completion and quality of data e.g. 50% of attendances lack a valid coded
diagnosis
• More information available from: https://www.england.nhs.uk/ourwork/tsd/ec-data-set/

…supporting the local area to think differently and transform the delivery of patient care?
The LDR will only transform patient care or deliver in paperless if there is the
leadership across all areas to affect the change. Part of that change needs to be a shift from thinking by service to enterprise
wide thinking.
This will depend on geography. LDRs, by being led by CCGs, are
mainly focused on local care. 50% of Trust workload is specialist
commissioned work and there is a need to share information outside local footprint. LDR is focused on
needs of local CCGs so doesn't take into account provider needs.
It is up to us as a digital health community to exploit the
opportunity
The process has been useful in getting more discussion and
collaboration
Roundtable discussions
• What would the barriers be to implementing an ISN for the ECDS? • What would the most effective enablers be? • Do you have any other thoughts on the ECDS proposals and would you like to get
involved?
Emergency Care Data Set (ECDS)
• What stage is your trust at in the LDR process? • How has the Digital Maturity Index been used at your trust? • What further information or support would be helpful?
Local Digital Roadmaps (LDRs)
• What is on your worry list? • What can we support you on by (i) collecting more information on it; (ii) showcasing a
peer’s work on it; (iii) telling the centre about it? • What are you doing really well that you want to tell other people about?
