ACTION 24/13 QUESTIONS FROM THE PUBLIC Mr Puckett noted from the minutes of the January meeting that the
statement regarding the NHS Constitution within the Single Operating Model had changed and had allowed the Trust to alter its answer. The Unions felt that the original wording of the statement should be reinstated, particularly in the light of the findings of the Francis Enquiry. The Chairman agreed to feed this view back to the Strategic Health Authority and reaffirmed that the Trust was fully committed to trying to achieve all the rights and pledges held in the Constitution.
PC
25/13 QUESTIONS FROM LINKS There were no LINKs representatives present and following recent
correspondence with the LINks lead it was hoped that one could be present for the March meeting.
26/13 MINUTES The minutes of the meeting of 29 November 2012 were agreed as
an accurate record, subject to the substitution of the word ‘Authority’ for ‘SHA’ in Minute 11/13.

27/13 MATTERS ARISING/ACTION LOG
i) Closed Actions The Board reviewed the Action Log and agreed that three actions from September and October and Actions 8 and 12 from January had been completed and would, therefore, be closed.
2 | P a g e
The following items were discussed in more detail:
(ii) Redevelopment and BoF Governance (Minute 145 refers) Agreed to be discussed in March. (iii) Community Patient Story (Minute 192/12 refers) Agreed to be discussed in March. (iv) Action 2 (Minute 6/13 refers) Chris Burton reported that the apparently high number of
caesarean section procedures undertaken in the Trust had been raised with the Women’s and Children’s Directorate at an Executive Review meeting and an explanation and any necessary actions would be reported though the Quality Committee in March (v) Action 3 (Minute 6/13 refers) The Board noted that the final inspection report from the CQC visit to Southmead the previous month had yet to be received. (vi) Action 9 (Minute 12/13 refers) Sasha Karakusevic reported that the new activity and performance reports would be ready for the new financial year. (vii) Action 6 (Minute 9/13 refers) The Board agreed that the word ‘Some’ be removed from the action.

28/13 QUALITY REPORT
Chris Burton presented the national Quality Outcomes Framework which benchmarked a series of quality data against any hospital in England. Online access was currently restricted to nursing and medical directors and he showed about a dozen sets of statistics. They all showed that North Bristol was functioning at a reasonably good quality level in comparison to other Foundation and NHS Trusts although the aspiration was to continually improve beyond current levels. Comments on the indicators were invited and the board agreed that numbers of complaints would be a useful addition. In future, Chris Burton said he would report monthly on any data that showed NBT as an outlier and give a quarterly report on the most important indicators. Sue Jones presented the Quality Dashboard and highlighted:
the lower number of reported grade 2 ulcers,

29/13
the screening of 55% of patients for malnutrition the praise from the CQC regarding nutrition and food
standards 28% of colorectal patients reporting an infection within 30
days of a procedure which the Control of Infection Committee was investigating.
The Board noted that the report quoted percentage figures sometimes when actual numbers were very low, which was of limited meaning. It was agreed that the actual numbers be used in such cases. The Board resolved to note the reports PATIENT STORY Sue Jones verbally provided a patient story concerning an active middle aged lady with a skull based tumour. She had received the news of her situation very badly but had been encouraged pre-operatively to set herself goals post operatively and, in her own words, she had set them ambitiously. Looking back she had also felt very lucky to have had a GP with an interest in neurology, to have lived within 50 miles of one of the best neurosurgical facilities in the world and to have met both the dedicated staff and to have been able to listen to the experience of a previous patient. A month on from the operation she had ticked off every goal so far. Her experience was a reminder of the importance to a patient of the individuals in a team and of effective team working. The Board resolved to note the report.

30/13 MID STAFFORDSHIRE PUBLIC INQUIRY REPORT Sue Jones introduced a report on the recently published inquiry
findings regarding events at the Mid Staffordshire Foundation Trust. The recommendations focussed on:
Openness, honesty, transparency and candour Strengthening nursing Strengthening leadership making more usable, comparable
information available There were implications for the speed of progression of NHS Trusts to FT status with greater emphasis on outcomes and experience and Monitor was introducing a new risk assessment framework with additional measures to enable better judgement on governance. For North Bristol the next steps were:
to produce a specific work plan for nursing adopt iCARE as a vehicle to implement the Trust’s values to continue the quality strategy and ensure outcomes and
patient experience equalled the Trust’s safety culture
4 | P a g e
implement the Friends and Family Test conclude the recovery plan for the complaints process
NBT’s progression to Foundation status and development of the associated quality assurance frameworks would provide the assurance that developments in governance structures were effective. Harry Hayer reported that the Prime minister was due to respond to Parliament regarding the Inquiry on 26th March and was likely to set some priorities for health service organisations. At that week’s staff side meeting it had been agreed that time should be set aside at the next Partnership Forum for discussion about the issue and the board agreed that a workshop session be utilised to debate the implications. A proper review could be undertaken in April with a report to the Board in May. The Board considered that there was a risk that an ‘industry’ could be set up around the Francis Inquiry but it did give the opportunity to challenge and change culture. Boards would have to focus on patient experience measures and ensure that all staff were engaged on the necessary changes. The Board was also aware that much work had already been done by the Patient Experience Group. It was also noted that many incidents were reported through the electronic system but those who did so needed to know that their concerns had been recorded and some action taken. The Chairman pointed out that it was going to be difficult to know if and when the organisation had moved to being ‘open and transparent’ but some of the language used around patient experience was negative and the Trust could learn from Carillion’s ‘Don’t walk by’ campaign and could, for example, consider changing the name of the Complaints Team to something more positive sounding. The Board noted the report.
M-NO SJ
31/13
SAFE STAFFING Sue Jones presented a report giving assurance to the Board on nurse staffing within NBTs adult inpatient areas. She also reported that in the ten months to the end of January 2013 the number of reports of unsafe staffing had reduced to 785 compared to 934 in the same period in the previous year. She said that the NHS Institute’s Safer Nursing Care Tool which measured acuity and dependency was being piloted in the Trust and planning towards the new hospital was being undertaken by the Non Medical Clinical Workforce stream. The Board noted the report but considered that future reports needed to be benchmarked and compared with other data to
5 | P a g e
32/13 33/13
provide real assurance and/or the basis for discussion. RISK MANAGEMENT STRATEGY AND POLICY Marie-Noelle Orzel presented a significantly changed Risk Management Strategy and Policy for approval. A map of the Trust’s risk management structure would be brought forward via the Governance and Risk Management Committee. In answer to Nick Patel it was noted that innovation risks would be reported through the system as a project risk. The Board approved the Risk Management Strategy and Policy. STANDING FINANCIAL INSTRUCTIONS AND DETAILED SCHEME OF DELEGATION
SJ
Following a review Bill Boa presented revised Standing Financial
Instructions and a Detailed Scheme of Delegation which had been approved by the Audit Committee. The one significant change had been to include a section outlining the circumstances when it might be appropriate to suspend some tendering rules. Items of over £1million were generally part of framework contracts and orders for such items or services, therefore, were not included in the ordering system and Bill Boa agreed to double check that these were covered. Subject to the addition of the Chairman of the Board’s approval for any temporary suspension of normal controls regarding tendering the Board approved the revised SFIs and Scheme of Delegation.

REDEVELOPMENT PROJECT
Mike Coupe presented the highlight report from the Southmead
Hospital redevelopment Project and highlighted: construction work was on programme the Building Research peer review of the fire strategy
continued and would report in March revised proposals from Carillion for the Emergency
Department corridor were awaited 230 Move leads had been appointed and he would give
more information about the Move project at the next meeting The Board noted that 3,100 responses to the hospital naming competition had been received so far with no clear favourite. The Board would be asked in April to make a decision. The Board noted the report.
35/13 ACTIVITY AND PERFORMANCE REPORT Sasha Karakusevic presented a brief report on the Trust’s patient
6 | P a g e
36/13
activity and advised that the backlog of patients waiting over 18 weeks could not be completed by the end of the financial year but would be achieved by the end of June. Orthopaedics and neurosurgery had the largest backlogs. Since September the validation of incomplete pathways had reduced steadily and directorates had weekly targets to achieve a given number of records to check. All cancer targets in January had been met but a short term MRI breakdown had meant that the six week diagnostic target had not been achieved. It was resolved to note the Activity and Performance report. INFECTION CONTROL REPORT Chris Burton introduced this report and noted that there had been two cases of MRSA bacteraemia in January, one in ITU at Southmead and one in the Surgical directorate. It was the first MRSA bacteraemia in Southmead ITU for nearly 90 weeks. The numbers of C Diff incidences continued to give concern and the year-end target had been breached in January. There had been evidence in one case of cross-infection with learning from it of the need to isolate symptomatic patients quickly. The infection prevention control team was reviewing antibiotic prescribing and, with commissioning colleagues, the prescribing of proton pump inhibitors. Recent evidence had also emerged that the use of probiotics, which had been tried previously to a limited extent by the Trust, may be worth revisiting. NICU was about to transfer back to its original location following the pseudomonas outbreak and national experts had commended the Trust for its work in minimising the future risk.
37/13
The Board noted the report. FINANCE REPORT Bill Boa advised that the overall financial position to the end of January was broadly breakeven with another month of contingencies and reserves used. Income from PCTs had reduced and much of this was to do with the reduced capacity of NICU during its temporary transfer. Funding had been reserved at the beginning of the year but the planned behaviour to reduce directorate expenditure had not materialised which had forced the release of the reserves to support the Trust. In answer to a question raised at the last meeting he confirmed that debtors had increased as a result of two issues. The slow allocation of cash to debts because of the implementation of an upgrade to the Oracle system and debates in the new organisational system between Care Commissioning Groups and specialist commissioners as to who should be paying bills.
7 | P a g e
38/13
Nick Patel questioned why there had been recent Press comment about the Trust’s plans to reduce spending by £92 million. Bill Boa reminded the Board that this was the plan for the next three years and that the comments had arisen from a briefing given by the Unions. The Board noted that nurse specialling had caused a significant increase in nursing and midwifery variance from budget in January and the larger variance in the health care assistants budget had arisen because this was the area most affected by the CRES plans which had not been achieved. The Board noted the report. PROGRAMME MANAGEMENT OFFICE REPORT Harry Hayer presented a report on the progress in implementing the PMO and assurance on the Road to 2014 programme. Each member of the scrutiny team could now work on any of their colleagues’ areas and the timelines for every individual programme were now being aligned into a critical path for a single plan. The Board noted the report.
39/13 SINGLE OPERATING MODEL Marie-Noelle Orzel reported that the Governance Risk Rating had
improved in January largely due to the achievement of cancer targets. Complaints, however, had nearly doubled from the December total and the Board asked that such rises be accompanied by explanations in reports. The Board agreed to maintain the same statements as in January subject to correction on errors on the SHMI and HSMR data. The Board approved the report subject to the agreed changes.

40/13 41/13
CHAIRMAN’S REPORT Peter Rilett reported that he had attended the last meeting of the chairmen and chief executives in the SHA where Sir Ian Carruthers had praised the performance of the South West over the last 18 months and Trusts were left with the view that quality, performance and money were the primary focus for the future. CHIEF EXECUTIVE’S REPORT Marie-Noelle reported on the following:
There had been no consultant appointments in January Some of the Board had met with local authority and provider
colleagues and shown the new hospital

The falls rate for February 2013 is 4.6. with the rolling mean at 5.0. The falls rate for the same period in January 2012 was 6.8
Chart uses Cerner rather than note sampling as the source. In February 52% of patients were recorded on Cerner as screened for malnutrition. Excludes patient admissions with Length of Stay of less than 24 hours.
No change to chart as published quarterly - relative risk for Quarter 1 12/13 = 93.34
Rolling year cumulative relative risk = 87.6The rate per 10,000 bed days was 13.3 in February, with 38 patients with grade 2+ PU's. There was 1 patients with 1 grade 3 PU , with 0 patients with a grade 4 PU.
At February end - wards achieving silver or gold on nutrition was at 70%, 29 out of 41 wards audited over the year. However documentation standards have been raised in NQAT audits to improve quality of documentation, particularly at the bedside..

Incident Type
Directorate Root Causes Actions taken / Learning Implemented
2012/19826 Medicine Patient required assistance ward staff not able to assist her in time to prevent the fall.
Importance of regular assessment, especially if patients condition is fluctuating Frequent moves of already confused patients can be a contributing issue. Staff reminded to escalate call for additional staffing earlier. Improved communication between physio & nursing staff required.
2012/28222 Medicine Un-witnessed fall: Specialling nurse (1:1) should have been with the patient - fall was not communicated to the night staff
Appropriate actions commenced once clinical teams were aware of fall. Staff reminded of key information to handover between shifts – such as any falls
2012/32711 MSK Patient confusion exacerbated by fatigue (secondary to dialysis) contributed to fall: Treatment focused on medical needs rather than assessing for unseen trauma associated with fall.
Specific teaching using case studies now included at doctors induction training.

Root causes: Busy emergency take (high number of GP and 999 requirements for transfer to hospitals). Lack of capacity (gender specific). Reduced discharges, increased outliers, patients with a LOS >14 days and delayed discharges due to social services. Lack of escalation to executive on call. Lack of adherence to/ understanding of escalation policy. Lessons learnt: Reinforced importance of early escalation, escalation roles and responsibilities. Review of escalation triggers and policy – in progress. Training for site managers and on call managers – dates set for March and April Working with partners has been consolidated and improved – Policy in place for reporting breaches 7 day working has been highlighted as key. Progress has been made with senior manager & nursing support at weekends and out of hours Robust and clear process needs to be established to halt elective lists in a critical incident or black escalation to preserve capacity Further review of template for bed meetings was undertaken and has commenced - elective lists are reviewed at bed meeting 14.30 daily Arrangements for managing repatriations reviewed in all specialities to ensure timely repatriation A full capacity policy for ED has been developed. Implementation of log for on call manager & the site manager (better documentation of situation & action, to facilitate debrief and ensure accountability).
Comment [SJ(oN1]: Was it a factor in this case?
Comment [SJ(oN2]: Was there any action for the specialing nurse? May not need to be added, but useful for me to know if asked

Appendix 1
Safeguarding Adults - Annual Report 2012/13
Introduction This paper outlines the work undertaken by North Bristol NHS Trust (NBT) in relation to the Safeguarding Adult Agenda for 2012/13. It identifies a work plan for moving safeguarding work forward into 2013 to further disseminate and strengthen NBTs duty of care to safeguard those adults who are unable to protect themselves from harm or exploitation. Background All public sector organisations are required to provide systems and processes to identify and support patients who may be vulnerable or at risk of abuse and harm. The NHS along with social services and the police are given key responsibilities for safeguarding vulnerable adults. The CQC state that ‘the term safeguarding, whether it is used in relation to health or social care, refers to an organisation’s responsibility to protect people whose circumstances make them particularly vulnerable to abuse, neglect and/or harm.’ Definition of a vulnerable adult is: - “a person over 18 years old who is or may be in need of community care services by reason of mental or other disability, age or illness and who is or may be unable to take care of themselves or unable to protect him or herself against significant harm”
Law Commission (1998) Operational Management The NBT adult safeguarding team is made up of the following roles: –
Key personnel Staff member (WTE) Executive Lead Sue Jones - Director of Nursing Non-Executive Lead Nick Patel Strategic Lead Gareth Howells - Deputy Director of Nursing Operational Lead Linda Davies (1.0wte) - Adult Safeguarding Lead Administrative Lead Sean Collins (0.5wte) - Safeguarding Administrator
Within Clinical Directorates the management team of General Manager, Clinical Director and Head of Nursing are responsible for the dissemination and monitoring of compliance to Trust policies in their areas. The Head of Nursing is responsible for the coordination of adult safeguarding in the directorate including overseeing investigations and ensuring that relevant staff are in attendance at applicable meetings. Governance and Assurance NBT has a number of policies in place to promote best practice in safeguarding. These policies include:
Organisational Strategies that Support Safeguarding Adults Policies and procedures In place Review Completion CG 15 Safeguarding Adults Policy Yes Under review March 2013 Training Strategy Yes Under review April 2013 CP 7 J Deprivation of Liberty Safeguards Policy Yes Under review May 2013 Recruitment and Selection Policy and Guidance Yes Under review April 2013 CP 7 K Restriction and Restraint Policy (Adults) No In development May 2013 CP 7I Policy for Assessment of Mental Capacity and Best Interests
Yes Under review April 2013
CG 43 Policy and procedure for raising concerns over services. Whistle Blowing Policy
Yes Complete Complete
The implementation and effectiveness of the policies and procedures is overseen by the Safeguarding Adults Operational Group. The Operational Group reports directly to the Overarching Safeguarding Board and to the Safeguarding Adults Boards (SAB) in Bristol and South Gloucestershire (a reporting structure is shown at the end of the paper).Attendance at the Bristol and South Gloucestershire Safeguarding Boards is now managed within the Safeguarding Team.
NBT Southmead Hospital was recently inspected by CQC which included a review of standard 7 (safeguarding) with a finding of compliance. In feedback there was recognition of the high compliance with training and the importance placed on safeguarding the only areas noted as a concern regarding standard 7 where in relation to staff awareness of the “whistleblowing policy” and compliance with CRB checks.
Training Safeguarding training for adults has been mandatory in NBT since 2009. The training is provided internally by the Safeguarding Manager, Safeguarding Adult Lead and the Learning and Development Team. There are 3 levels of training provided currently.
Level 1: Basic awareness training for all staff at induction Level 2: Intermediate training for staff with regular contact with patients Level 3: Advanced training for senior clinicians and on-call managers
As Safeguarding encompasses a wide range of legal responsibilities and types of patient the training sessions include coverage of:
Mental Capacity Act, Deprivation of Liberty Caring for patients with a Learning disability Caring for patients with Dementia Addressing issues around dignity
Compliance figures for training: -
Level Target Actual RAG 1 90% 84% (To February 2013) Amber 2 90% 84% (To February 2013) Amber 3 90% Training being updated – will be launched in April 2013
(Refresher training for all levels of Safeguarding training is required after 3 years).
Work is currently underway to address the drop in compliance with levels 1 & 2 with an extra 350 people trained in January and February 2013 and an expectation that compliance will be reached in the next reported figures in April. Level 3 training sessions are planned for later in the year and will also bring the Trust into compliance. Safe Recruitment All staff employed within the Trust since 2009 have been subject to a Criminal Records Bureau (CRB) Check. For staff employed before 2009, Human Resources have a plan to ensure all those staff obtain and/or renew their CRB checks. This is being rolled out on a risk assessed priority basis. Serious Case Reviews (SCRs), Internal Safeguarding incidents Serious Case Reviews take place where there are major concerns about adult protection working or system failures or where there is a death of a vulnerable adult. Any professional can request a serious case review by the Safeguarding Board. South Gloucestershire Local Authority completed the SCR for Winterbourne View in October 2012. It contained no specific recommendations for NBT however considerable work is now being undertaken by both SAB’s to formulate work plans for the implementation of all recommendations and for the dissemination of learning. Learning from the SCR has been added to the training programme in NBT.
Activity

Deprivation of Liberty Safeguards During 2012/13 there were 82 applications by the Trust for DoLS. NBT has been commended by the local authorities DOLS teams for its exemplary work in this area.
Achievements Appointments and roles The trust has recruited to the new post of Adult Safeguarding Lead to support the continued increase in activity in this area and to provide a strategic lead. All the strands of safeguarding have been amalgamated under the leadership of the Deputy Director of Nursing to streamline and direct the safeguarding agenda. Intranet Dedicated intranet pages are now in place to support staff with adult safeguarding and the use of the Mental Capacity Act. Activity There has been a continued increase in activity for adult safeguarding across the year. This is believed to be a reflection of continued awareness raising and accurate recording and not indicative of increased instances of adult abuse.Focused work between safeguarding and tissue viability including cross referencing in new policies has taken place to ensure that grade 3 & 4 pressure ulcers are referred to safeguarding. Adult Safeguarding Databases Work has taken place in 2012 developing the Safeguarding and DOLS database’s to facilitate the monitoring of referrals and activity. These are now complete and available via a central Adult Safeguarding shared management drive. Links with HR Focused work has taken place on embedding links with Human Resources, the whistle-blowing process and the disciplinary process. HR staff training needs have been reassessed and they are now required to complete level 2 training instead of level 1. Flow charts have been developed to assist HR staff with reporting adult safeguarding concerns. South West Safeguarding Leads Forum NBT have worked with Northern Devon Healthcare Trust to establish a South West Safeguarding Leads Forum which met for the first time in February 2013. The aim of this group is to share best practice, work on joint approaches and as a form of peer group supervision. Partnership Working NBT has taken over the role of chair of the training subgroup for Bristol Safeguarding Adults Board. Regular meetings have been set up with partners to monitor activity and promote closer working relationships. The Trust safeguarding team are also undertaking a rolling programme of training to the South Gloucester social workers about safeguarding within NBT. Specialist Training The adult safeguarding team have undertaken specialist training in the areas of suicide prevention, action planning, forced marriage and the law and restraint. NBT specific Level (3) Adult Safeguarding Training with be launched in April 2013. Key areas of work for 2013/2014 1. Complete the review of safeguarding policies ensuring they are in line with the opening of the new
hospital next year. 2. Launch and implement level (3) Adult Safeguarding training for those staff who require specialist
training in this area 3. Further embed the operational safeguarding processes within the Clinical Directorates. 4. Develop information for patients and carers; leaflets and electronic on the Trusts Intranet Pages. 5. Promote working relations between the Trust and the Independent Mental Capacity Advocacy
(IMCA) services with the aim of increased referrals to an IMCA. 6. Once the policies are ratified the training programme will be reviewed and updated to reflect the
new policies
7. Promotion of joint working with University Hospitals Bristol including the sharing of best practice,
development of joint working practices and shared processes. 8. Development of Adult Safeguarding Supervision Policy 9. Further highlight and develop the Trust Adult Safeguarding service.
Safeguarding Assurance and Reporting Structure
The Safeguarding Adults (Operational) Group also reports to the Safeguarding Adults Board (SAB) for Bristol and South Gloucestershire Local Authorities respectively. The Trust Safeguarding Committee (which meets quarterly) receives reports from the monthly/bi-monthly meetings of the sub-groups. The Trust Safeguarding Committee reports to the Governance and Risk Management Committee (GRMC), which reports to the Trust Board.

Appendices (2) - The NBT Dementia Pathway
For Information
Review of Dementia Care In February 2013, a peer review of Dementia Care at NBT was completed. Overall the review concluded significant progress had been made with tangible changes, a proactive approach delivering the national CQUIN, an impressive framework is in place to ensure carers are identified and action is required to ensure embedding and sustaining the progress made in 2012/13. Ensuring best practice ins embedded in every setting remains the goal and the challenge.
Creating a culture of Compassionate Dementia Care
This is based on the DoH vision to create a culture of compassionate care in the NHS and will form the basis of the updated NBT Dementia Strategy – (on display at meeting)
North Bristol NHS Trust Dementia Development Plan
Version (10) of the North Bristol NHS Trust Dementia Plan has been updated in February 2013 and incorporates the feedback from the peer review of Dementia Care at North Bristol NHS Trust.
Dementia Awareness Training
The training matrix for Dementia Training has been completed. Level (1) training, is now mandatory for all staff and to date 6100 NBT staff (Clinical and Non- clinical) have received Level (1) Dementia Awareness Training during. Level (2) training has been developed and has commenced in December 2012. Level (3) Training is currently being developed.
The Dementia Champion role
To date 120 North Bristol NHS staff have received specific training to undertake the role of the Dementia Champion. The Dementia care website is operational and supports Dementia Champions in the delivery of their role; http://sharepoint/sites/trustwide/Dementia/Pages/default.aspx
Dementia Volunteer Role The support volunteer role has been successfully implemented on Thirteen wards across the Trust. A roll out plan for the rest of the Trust will be progressed in 2013/2014.
The National Dementia CQUIN 2012/13
This relates to the initial assessment of all patients over 75 who are admitted as an emergency, assessing them for any cognitive impairment, and ensuring an appropriate referral is are made should it be required. The cQUIN states this must be achieved in 90% of cases, and while early indications identify NBT as achieving this, the final outcome will be available at the end of the fourth quarter of 2012/13.
Family carers are being supported
The Bristol Carers Charter was published in April 2012 and the NBT Carers Support scheme introduced January 2012. This will be evaluated during March 2013.
Creating a Dementia friendly environment
A report will be provided to the April 2013 Trust Redevelopment Board, relating to the creation of a supportive physical environment for people with Dementia in the new hospital.. Information has been provided previously, and this update will incorporate best practice as described by the King’s Fund’s ‘Enhancing the Healing Environment’ programme.
Development of a Specialist Dementia Nurse role
Following the peer review, support has been received from NHS Bristol to fund a Specialist Nurse in Dementia Care. Details of this role are currently being finalised.
Priority Standards for 2013/14
In 2013-14 North Bristol NHS Trust will continue to implement all eight South West Dementia Standards, but specifically focussing on - Standard 5 – The nutrition and hydration needs of people with a dementia are well met; and Standard 7 - The hospital and wards ensure quality of care at the end of life.
Action Required
The Trust Board is asked to note the contents of this report

Executive Summary:
The Learning Disability Strategy 2012 – 2015 was ratified in June 2012.
Aim: People with a Learning Disability (LD) will receive equal access to personalised health care from all NBT services. Aligned to Monitor Compliance Framework 2012/13. Easy Read version of LD Strategy published in October 2012
Early identification of patients with LD is increasing
LD screening tool developed and being embedded on inpatient wards. From December 2012 100% of people with a LD who are admitted to NBT have an assessment of their specific LD needs assessed within 48 hours of admission. The Trust LD Operational Group is reviewing the process of identification of LD patients through ED. This is in response to Winterbourne view and will be completed in April 2013.
Reasonable adjustments are being made for LD patients.
Demonstrated through continuous improvement monthly audits of LD risk assessments and care plans.
Easy read information is available to patients
NBT easy read information available in the following topic areas: Complaints, X-Ray, Going to Hospital, Healthy eating, LD Nurse Service, Anaesthetic, Pre Assessment, Discharge and Medication.
Pictorial menu’s to be ready July 2013 and all are available on the NBT LD Website: http://www.nbt.nhs.uk/patients-carers/coming-hospital/learning-disability-nurses.
Family carers are being supported
Carers Strategy published December 2011. Carers Support scheme introduced January 2012. Evaluation March 2013.
Staff receive training in LD awareness
LD Awareness included within induction and safeguarding mandatory updating and E learning module launched March 2013.
LD competencies have been developed for all new qualified nurses and midwives within their preceptorship programme and LD Advisors recruited and trained, with on-going development support being provided.
Since March 2012 LD and Mental Capacity Act (MCA) training has been delivered to all rotating doctors in training.
Targeted training package for employed medical staff has now been developed and will be implemented through Consultants Mandatory Training working party.
People with LD and their families/carers are involved in planning and development of NBT health services.
The LD Liaison Nurses network widely with LD community groups and organisations and use feedback to inform NBT developments. Carer liaison workers have been recruited as members to the Patient Experience Group and representatives from SG and Bristol LD Partnership Boards are members of the NBT LD Operational Group.
LD audit and analysis is used within routine public reports.
Fortnightly reports are received for all Outpatient DNA’s by patients with a LD. These are subsequently followed up by the LD Specialist Nurses. LD Consent process audited May 2012. Action plan progressed and reported to overarching Safeguarding Committee. Continuous improvement audits of Consent Form No 4 by safeguarding team to be implemented April 2013.
LD Patient stories are reported within Board Reports since March 2012.
LD Confidential enquiry due to report 26th March 2013.

For Information & Assurance
Executive Summary:
To provide the Trust Board with an overview of the activities and work relating to the safeguarding of adults and provide a work plan for 2013/14:
Safeguarding Adult work is evolving in accordance with national guidance. Whilst significant progress has been made over the year, there is growing activity in this area and a need to further develop the systems, processes and training to support clinical staff in practice.
The Trust established a new post of Adult Safeguarding Lead to support the continued increase in activity in this area and to provide a strategic lead.
The years activity records clearly indicates a significant increase in adult safeguarding cases which is deemed to be an improvement and a recognition that staff awareness is increasing.
Staff training compliance has decreased in the last quarter of the year however plans are in place to remedy this.
Safeguarding policies will be updated by May 2013 to bring them into line with current legislation and fit for purpose for the new hospital.
The Learning Disability report highlights activity and progress over the last quarter. Patients with a learning disability are able to access our services and have their needs met. The dementia report provides assurance of on-going action and development of the Trusts dementia action plan and independent assurance following recent Peer Review.

National Survey Directorate Scores : 2012 The Department of Health report on the National Staff Attitude Survey provides a basis for this report. 820 staff were sampled throughout the Directorates, and the response rate was 54%. This is above the national average for Acute Trusts in England. 1. National Survey and Directorate Scores : 2012 (Appendix 1) 1.1 Appendix 1 provides a summary of Trust results for 2012. 1.2 The column marked ‘Change since 2011 *’ indicates changes in results from 2011 to 2012
that are ‘statistically significant’. 1.3 Appendix 1 also illustrates the scores for each Directorate in comparison to the overall NBT
scores and national average scores. 1.3 The top 3 performing Directorates against each Key Factor, and bottom 3 scoring
Directorates are highlighted (relative to other directorates). Total appearances in top and bottom 3 are totalled at the foot of the page.
1.4 The overall ‘staff engagement’ indicator is measured in the national survey by combining
the scores of three key findings 22, 24 and 25. These key findings relate to the following aspects of staff engagement :
Staff ability to contribute towards improvements at work Staff recommendation of the trust as a place to work or receive treatment Staff motivation at work
1.5 The NBT score for staff engagement slightly worsened from 3.62 in 2011 to 3.61 in 2012
(not statistically significant), and was ‘worse than average’ when compared to benchmark Trusts.
2. Actions to address the key issues : Trust Management Team 2.1 The Trust Management Team has discussed at length the national survey results and has
agreed the following initial set of actions :
Articulate and share throughout Directorates ‘what good looks like’. Use the Trust values as the foundation and leaders to role model appropriate
behaviours
Identify in more detail, promote and share what higher performing directorates do well.
Select and roll out resilience and self assessment tools for directorates and staff to use.
As we approach 2014 and the opening of the new hospital, provide staff with as much information as possible on the changes for them.
All directorates to share staff survey results with staff and discuss what can be done to
further improve working lives.

Report to: TRUST BOARD Agenda item: 6.5 Date of Meeting: THURSDAY 28th MARCH 2013
Report Title: Monitor’s new Regulatory Framework
For information discussion assurance approvalStatus: X
Prepared by: Bill Boa, Interim Director of Finance Executive Sponsor (presenting): Bill Boa, Interim Director of Finance Appendices (list if applicable): Executive Summary: The attached slides were presented by Monitor at a Regional Engagement Event on 12 March 2013. The presentation was part of the national engagement process launched by Monitor to gather views on the new Regulatory Framework. Monitor’s new role will focus on 5 key areas:
Supporting Foundation Trust Governance Pricing NHS Services Supporting Choice and Competition Enabling Integrated Care Ensuring Continuity of Services
The New Regulatory Framework requires all providers of NHS Health Care to be licenced. NHS Trusts are exempt from this requirement but are expected to meet similar standards. Any NHS Trust providing Commissioner Requested Services (CRS) under the Trust failure regime will be required to hold a licence. The obligations of the licence cover General conditions and specific conditions relating to the 5 key areas noted above. The Regulatory Framework identifies two key types of service:
Commissioner Requested Services (CSR) – services the commissioner believes will need to be protected if a provider fails
Location Specific Services (LSS) – services for which there is no alternative provider and which, once a provider has failed, must be kept running.
CRS are defined within contracts and licences and LSS are defined by Commissioners and the Administrators. Monitor is consulting on proposals to reduce the Financial Risk Ratings to 4 levels and to two target measures:
Liquidity Ratio Capital Service Capacity
The application of the proposed Financial Risk Ratings will lead to the Trust being rated as a 1 for Capital Service Capacity requiring the Trust to achieve a rating of 4 for liquidity days in order to achieve an overall rating of 2.5 which may round to a rating of 3. The proposals are not clear about rounding protocols and whether PFI costs will adjusted for in this particular rating calculation. The Trust has responded to raise a series of queries and concerns about the proposal.
This document could be made public under the Freedom of Information Act 2000. Any person identifiable, corporate sensitive information will be exempt and must be discussed under a 'closed
section' of any meeting. 2
Governance Ratings are largely unchanged in measurement but Monitor is seeking views on the following proposals:
Removal of certain outcome triggers such as Healthcare Acquired Infections Using a broader range of more judgmental measures from various sources Requiring Trusts to undertake a formal Governance Review every three years
The Cooperation and Competition panel will become the Cooperation and Competition Directorate of Monitor. The Directorate will take its powers from section 3 of the provider licence and concurrent powers in relation to the Competition Act 1998 and the Enterprise Act 2002. The Directorate is required to advise the Office of Fair Trading on any merger involving a Foundation Trust. Action Required: The Trust Board is asked to note the information in the enclosed slides. The Trust will need to assess compliance against the proposed licence conditions in the early part of 2013/14. Key Risks: The application of the proposed Financial Risk Ratings
will lead to the Trust being rated as a 1 for Capital Service Capacity requiring the Trust to achieve a rating of 4 for liquidity days in order to achieve an overall rating of 2.5 which may round to a rating of 3. The Trust has responded to raise a series of queries and concerns about the proposal.
Impact on Patients: Patient rights further enshrined in Provider Licence. Impact on Staff: Awareness and education requirements for licencing
requirements Link to Trust Objectives: The Trust will become an NHS Foundation Trust Care Quality Commission outcomes:
The Care Quality Commission will provide judgemental assessments to inform the Governance ratings of Foundation Trusts.
NHS Constitution: No conflict with NHS Constitution and certain patient rights are now captured within the Provider Licence arrangements.
Financial Issues: The requirement for Foundation Trusts to undertake a three yearly Governance review is likely to introduce an additional cost for external assurance. There are no immediate financial impacts for the Trust.
Legal/regulatory Issues: The Provider Licence is a key regulatory tool. The Competition Act 1998 and Enterprise Act 2002 underpin the regulatory framework for Monitor.

Cooperation & competition
Introduction • Cooperation & Competition Panel to become the Cooperation &
Competition Directorate of Monitor.
A brief overview of the new competition framework as it applies to: • Providers; and, • Commissioners.
Mergers, JVs and asset transfers.
Questions in the panel Q&A.
22/03/2013
Competition Framework: Providers
Provider Licence• Section 3:
- C1 – relating to the rights of patients to make choices- C2 – relating to (i) agreements/arrangements (ii) conduct which
have/has the effect of preventing, restricting or distorting competition
We will also have concurrent powers in relation to the Competition Act 1998 and the Enterprise Act 2002.
We have published draft formal guidance on enforcement of the provider licence and we expect to publish substantive guidance on the Choice and Competition conditions.
22/03/2013
Competition Framework: Providers
In preparation for substantive guidance, the CCP is publishing a number of papers on the application of the competition rules to:• Integrated Care (*published); • Unilateral Conduct;• Agreements; • Clinical Networks.
The CCP has also published advice and working papers on various subjects e.g. • Referral Management;• How competition between hospitals improves quality and
integration of services.
22/03/2013
Competition Framework: Commissioners
The Commissioner Regulations impose requirements on the NHS CB and CCGs to ensure:
• Good practice in relation to the procurement of health care services for the purposes of the NHS (e.g. in relation to transparency, proportionality, non-discrimination, etc);
• The protection of patients’ rights to make a choice regarding their NHS treatment; and,
• Prevention of anti-competitive behaviour by commissioners.
22/03/2013
Competition Framework: Commissioners
We will be publishing guidance for commissioners.
Our Level Playing Field Review will be laid before Parliament at the end of March.
As with providers, we will also have concurrent powers in relation to the Competition Act 1998 and the Enterprise Act 2002.
22/03/2013
Mergers, JVs and Asset Transfers
The term merger can relate to mergers, acquisitions, JVs and other transactions between NHS service providers that result in two previously independent organisations (or parts of organisations) coming under common management or control.
• E.g. University Hospitals Bristol FT & North Bristol NHS Trust.
22/03/2013
Mergers, JVs and Asset Transfers
Responsibility divided between the Office of Fair Trading (OFT) and Monitor:• The OFT is responsible for the investigation of mergers involving
FTs; and,• Monitor is responsible for the investigation of Trust-Trust mergers.• Monitor is, however, required (under the HSC Act 2012) to advise
the OFT on the effect of the mergers involving FTs on benefits for patients. - See for example, our advice to the OFT on Poole Hospital FT and
Royal Bournemouth and Christchurch Hospitals FT.- We expect the OFT to take responsibility for FT-Trust mergers
going forward. The OFT is expected to make an announcement about its approach in the coming weeks. We would also provide advice on benefits in these cases.
22/03/2013
Informal advice
We are more than happy to provide advice on an informal (non-binding) basis, advice about procurement and conduct issues and also potential merger situations.
If in doubt, please contact us to discuss.
Contacts: • [email protected] - Up to 31st March 2013.• [email protected] - From 1st April 2013.

Sent via email to all Clinical Summit invitees 12 March 2013 Dear colleague Re: Clinical Summit feedback It has been just over a week since the Clinical Summit where many of you learned more about the Bristol Acute Services Review and the challenges we are together trying to address and most importantly got actively involved in starting to shape the solution for the future. It was very powerful to have over 110 clinicians and healthcare professionals joining forces to debate and discuss what needs to change and where improvements should be made to ensure we design services that are high quality, best in class and financially sustainable for the long-term. As your time is so valuable we wanted to ensure we maximised the use of it and therefore the main focus of the event was workshop based where attendees worked in groups to answer the following questions:
1. What factors and data sources should we look at to determine which services we will review in more detail during the next stage of the acute services review?
2. What does good look like from the perspective of patients, clinicians / all relevant professionals and commissioners across the following four pathways:
Maternity, paediatrics and NICU
Urgent and emergency
Elective
Tertiary
3. Thinking radically, how could we best deliver care across these four pathways to the populations of Bristol, North Somerset and South Gloucester? What needs to change to achieve this?
Thank you to those of you who attended for your energy and honesty during the discussions; the feedback from each of the tables was extensive. PwC, who facilitated the event on our behalf, has been collating the detailed feedback which we will share with you soon via the two Trust intranet sites.
Bristol Acute Services Review Page 2 of 3
However, here is a flavour of some of the key themes coming out of the event thus far:
Attendees were engaged and showed a strong appetite for radical transformation to deliver sustainable services for the long-term;
There was a real enthusiasm shown for collaborative working between the two Trusts, but also attendees felt it was very important that all stakeholders within the health economy (primary care, community services, patients, voluntary etc) were involved and engaged in the next stage of the review;
Attendees were very keen that the next stage of the review focused on pathways as well as individual specialities;
There was a strong request for there to be transparency in decision making as the review progresses.
These themes show a strong message from clinicians that the Acute Services Review needs to be radical, needs to look at how pathways can be improved and must engage and involve the wider system in undertaking this work. Taking this feedback on board, the Programme Board for the Acute Services Review - which is accountable to both Trust Boards - is taking stock to make sure the next stage of the Review takes the views of clinicians that were so strongly expressed in the summit into account. However, whilst the Programme Board takes a short period of reflection, it is important that the momentum we have collectively established is maintained. As such, we are moving forward with establishing the factors and data sources that should be used to determine what services should be reviewed in detail as part of the next stage of the Review based on the feedback provided by those attending the summit. Whilst many factors were considered to be important by those attending the event, there were eight categories that were consistently suggested, these are:
Demand for services
Duplication
Quality
Potential for innovation
Patient experience
Opportunities for reconfiguration
Workforce and skills
Clinical efficiency We are working with the healthcare team at PwC to isolate the key indicators within each of these categories, prioritising those variables that are most representative of the overarching category and taking into account availability of data and the need to move relatively quickly. Based on the outputs of this discussion at the Clinical Summit, we have agreed the following factors to assess which areas should be focused on:
Demand for services: Income (as a proxy for activity and profitability)
Duplication: Profiling of services offered on both sites
Bristol Acute Services Review Page 3 of 3
Quality: HSMR, RTT
Potential for innovation: Levelling up opportunities (as a proxy for doing things differently)
Patient experience: Complaints
Opportunities for reconfiguration: Profiling of current reconfiguration plans
Workforce and skills: Workforce benchmarking
Clinical efficiency: Length of stay benchmarking We are currently collecting data and deciding how to weight the relative importance of each indicator; once this is done we will move quickly to agree which services we will focus on based on what you have told us. We will share the outcome of this with you in the near future and will keep you fully informed of the shape of the next stage of the review and how you can be involved moving forward. Your input and commitment to the review is important, and whilst we recognise your time is pressured as we all try to manage many priorities, we would ask you to try and make time for the next stage of the review as it progresses. This may involve attending a workshop or a small engagement event, or joining a larger event like the clinical summit again. We all know that challenging times are ahead. Let us take the opportunity that the Bristol Acute Services Review has given us to ensure we shape and develop our services to sustain the challenges in front of us and ensure we can deliver high quality, safe and affordable services to the people of Bristol and surrounding areas long into the future.

Report to: Trust Board Agenda item: 8.1 Date of Meeting: 28th March 2013
Report Title: Revenue and Capital Budgets for 2013/14
For information discussion assurance approval Status:
X Prepared by: Nigel Baker, Deputy Director of Finance Board Sponsor: Bill Boa, Interim Director of Finance Appendices: Yes
Executive Summary:
This budget is proposed in the context of the Trust’s medium term financial plan and Foundation Trust application. In 2013/14 the Trust is planning for a surplus of £5.6m. The key elements of the budget are as follows:
A £2.9m recurrent surplus brought forward from 2012/13 notwithstanding the forecast
surplus of £7.0m for the year. A total 2013/14 surplus of £5.6m, the full year impact of which is £8.3m recurrently. Inflation funding of £14.4m offset by a national efficiency savings requirement of
£19.2m. Negotiations with Commissioners are continuing with activity plans likely to be set
broadly at recurrent outturn plus some minimal growth and clearance of waiting list backlogs. Over-performance will be at risk to the Commissioners ie a PbR compliant contract. NBT are also seeking support for system change monies to enable improvement in patient flow to support achievement of the 4 hour wait target.
A resulting requirement for £24.3m efficiency savings. £12.5m new hospital transitional costs funded by the NHS Commissioning Board. Capital spend of £44m is planned. The new hospital will be handed over to the Trust in March 2014 so the resulting asset
and liability are included in the closing Balance Sheet, net of impairment of £157m. Total impairments will be £181m in 2013/14. The overall Financial Risk Rating is assessed as a 3.
This budget is in line with the Long Term Financial Model (LTFM) and meets the financial objectives of the Trust. Action Required:
The Trust Board is asked to approve revenue and capital budgets for 2013/14.
Key Risks: Final outcome of contract negotiations, particularly with
regard to penalties and CQUINS;
Commissioner activity reduction plans requiring reduction in capacity;
Achievement of savings target;
Cost pressures in excess of the sum set aside eg for consequences arising from meeting recommendations of the Francis report.
Impact on Patients: Delivery of year one of the medium term financial plan secures the patient benefits identified in the Integrated Business Plan of the Trust.
Trust Objectives: To be a strong financially healthy organisation.
Care Quality Commission outcomes:
None
NHS Constitution: This budget supports compliance with the NHS Constitution.
Financial Issues: Yes
Equality Issues: No
Other Legal/regulatory Issues: Yes
NORTH BRISTOL NHS TRUST
REPORT TO TRUST BOARD 28th MARCH 2013
REVENUE AND CAPITAL BUDGETS FOR 2013/14 1. Introduction
The budget for 2013/14 has been prepared in the context of:
a. the Operating Framework for 2013/14 published by the Department of Health; b. the Payment by Results (PbR) tariffs for 2013/14 published by the Department of
Health; c. commissioner financial plans; d. the Trust’s medium term financial plan.
The Operating Framework sets out the key planning assumptions and delivery expectations.
The key financial changes are:
that costs will increase by 2.7% overall; a national efficiency target of 4%; the above two items result in an expected net tariff reduction of 1.3%; the amount that can be earned from CQUINs schemes is 2.5% of income.
The key operational changes are:
that 18 week referral to treatment (RTT) performance is at specialty level rather than overall;
significant reductions (30%) in expected levels of c difficile.
Commissioners have received an increase of 2.6% in allocation for 2013/14. However, most Commissioners have sought to commission at 2012/13 outturn level adjusted by the expected tariff reduction with some specific growth items additionally funded.
The key contractual agreements with the main Commissioners are not yet concluded.
The budget as proposed takes account of:-
Activity levels have been agreed with Commissioners at the level of recurrent demand other than for some specific areas of growth such as renal services, HIV, NICE approved drugs and some other specialist services. To achieve this requires general areas of growth to be absorbed by activity reduction schemes.
The following service transfers:-
The transfer of breast and urology services to NBT from University Hospitals Bristol (UHB);
The transfer of ENT, head and neck and oral surgery from NBT to UHB.
A maximum additional payment above tariff of 2.5% dependent on the achievement of quality standards under the CQUINS scheme. We have budgeted to achieve 80% of the total.
Consideration of capital budget proposals by the members of the Capital Planning and
Monitoring Group. 2. The financial position brought forward from 2012/13
A summary of the 2012/13 outturn projection is set out in the table below.
2012/13 Outturn Forecast Recurrent
Non-recurrent Total
£m £m £m
Income (513.3) (11.3) (524.5)
Expenditure 510.4 7.2 517.5
Surplus for NHS accountability (2.9) (4.1) (7.0)
A £7.0m surplus is forecast for 2012/13, but this is largely due to one-off factors amounting to £4.1m so the recurrent underlying position in 2012/13 carried forward is a £2.9m surplus.
3. 2013/14 income and expenditure changes The income and expenditure changes planned in 2013/14 are shown in
source and application of funds statement (Appendix 1) income summary (Appendix 2) summary income and expenditure plan (Appendix 3)
The overall changes are as follows:
Recurring Non-recurrent Total£m £m £m
Brought forward recurring surplus (2.9)
Recurrent income changes (4.5)
Non-recurrent income (12.5)
Recurrent expenditure changes (0.9)
Non-recurrent expenditure 15.2
Projected surplus (for NHS accountability) (8.3) 2.7 (5.6)
There is significant non-recurring income and expenditure, largely associated with the new hospital. The key planned changes in 2013/14 are described in the sections below.
4.1 Tariff uplift and mandatory cost pressures
The cost of inflation and national mandatory cost pressures is estimated to be in line with the income from the tariff uplift of 2.7% (before the efficiency deduction). This is shown in the table below.
Income Expenditure Net increase increase impact
£m £m £m
Gross tariff uplift (14.4)
Pay increases 7.3Price increases 6.4Indexation of assets 0.6
Net (14.4) 14.3 (0.1)
4.2 Tariff reduction for efficiency
The 2.7% tariff uplift described in 4.1 above is prior to tariff reductions for efficiency that apply to all commissioner tariffs and contracts. This tariff reduction is 4% for PCT income. We have reviewed the likely inflation/deflation of other income sources and have set levels accordingly. The overall income reduction relating to expected efficiency improvements on this basis is £19.2m. The net impact of tariff reductions is a reduction of £4.8m.
4.3 Other tariff changes
Whilst the national expectation is for an overall 1.1% reduction from tariff changes the individual organisation impact is usually different. We have modelled the proposed new tariffs and this indicates that the NBT reduction will be less than this. Some of the changes are quite fundamental, e.g. the new maternity pathways and the unbundling of outpatient radiology, and commissioner acceptance is required.
The methodology for non-payment for avoidable readmissions which was introduced in 2012/13 requires Trusts and Commissioners to jointly review a sample of readmissions and identify when they could have been avoided, whether that be by actions of the Trust or community services. This will set a threshold for readmissions above which the Trust will not be paid. Based on evidence to date the expectation is that this will result in a lower level of unpaid readmissions. This gives a forecast benefit of £1.8m.
4.4 Additional local cost pressures
In addition to the inflationary pressures described in section 4.1 above, provision has also been made for recurrent cost pressures equivalent to 0.25% of expenditure.
4.5 Financial impact of activity and service changes The table below shows the overall impact of planned activity and service changes. This
shows income increasing on outturn by £3.4m and cost increasing by £1.1m, giving a net favourable impact on the Trust of £2.3m.
Income Expenditure Net impactchange change
£m £m £m
Recurrent demand over 2012/13 outturn (1.9) 0.0 (1.9)
Market share (2.3) 1.7 (0.6)
Net growth (4.5) 3.4 (1.1)
Transfers 5.3 (4.0) 1.3
Total (3.4) 1.1 (2.3)
It has been assumed that some of the shortfalls in elective activity in 2012/13 will be recovered in 2013/14 and Directorates have indicated that this can be done at minimal additional cost.
In general commissioners have sought to plan for minimal or zero growth in 2013/14. However we have made some specific projections of growth in certain areas of activity, e.g Renal, HIV, and Neurosurgery. These have been recognised by commissioners. We have included some gains in market share in some specialised services including major trauma and paediatric epilepsy.
The expectation from local commissioners is that demographic growth will be matched by QIPP. Growth and QIPP will inevitably fall in different specialties and we are awaiting details from commissioners so that capacity changes can be planned for. The service transfers of breast and urology from UHB to NBT, and ENT and oral surgery from NBT to UHB have been included
We have planned for a cost impact of 75% on income changes. Commissioners will also fund the increased spend on NICE drugs. The Trust is also seeking non-recurrent support from the Commissioners to fund the system changes we are implementing to improve patient flow and access performance.
4.6 CQUINs
The potential level of CQUINs is 2.5% of income and could contribute a further £1.8m net of additional costs of achievement.
4.7 Non recurrent items in 2013/14
The following income and costs largely relate to the new hospital scheme. There is no net effect on the Trust’s income and expenditure position from the new hospital funding, as shown in the table below. We have set aside £2.7m for various project costs to facilitate the pace and scale of change.
Income Expenditure Net impactchange change£000's £000's £000's
PFI support (12.5) 3.0 (9.5)Restructuring costs 3.6 3.6Accelerated depreciation 5.9 5.9
Total PFI support (12.5) 12.5 0.0
Non-recurrent project costs 2.7 2.7
Total non-recurrent items (12.5) 15.2 2.7
Reduction of the waiting backlog has not yet been agreed by commissioners and so this non recurrent income and cost has not been included in the budget at this stage.
4.8 Resultant requirement for efficiency savings in 2013/14 The table below sets out the requirement for efficiency savings of £24.3m based on the various drivers set out earlier in section 4.

4.9 Efficiency improvements identified against targets As set out above the total savings required in 2013/14 are £24.3m. Appendix 4 shows the
targets and amounts identified by Directorate. This shows that £23.1m of schemes have been identified but that after risk adjustment this reduces to £16.9m. Performance in identifying savings is variable across Directorates.
Following the 2012/13 performance where final savings achieved were significantly below target despite what appeared to be a good plan at the start of the year, the programme management office will carefully monitor delivery of schemes against planned implementation dates.
Directorates are completing quality impact assessments for each scheme which are being signed off by the Medical and Nursing Directors.

5. Capital expenditure. 5.1 The Trust’s expected capital expenditure and funding are shown in appendix 5. This shows a proposed plan for 2013/14 which requires Board approval and indicative plans for the period to 2015/16. Although the capital expenditure exceeds funding available in 2013/14 and 2014/15, the projected cash balance at March 2013 if £40m. The Trust Capital Planning and Monitoring Group (CPMG) have considered the detailed plan for 2013/14 and there will be ongoing discussion and review by this group throughout the year. 5.2 The key aspects of the expenditure plan are as follows. The vast majority of the schemes are related to the new PFI hospital which is due to
be handed over to the Trust in March next year. As well as Pathology and Learning & Research they include the new Breast Care Centre and Corporate Office provision.
There is still some uncertainty regarding the exact timing of a number of the schemes in 2013/14 including the new Pathology building.
There is also an element of uncertainty regarding the cost of some of the PFI enabling schemes and to reflect that a contingency has been calculated for each scheme and included in the plan. It is hoped that this will reduce as the schemes progress rapidly in 2013/14.
Slippage is relatively high in 2013/14 due to the proximity of the new hospital handover to the year end.
5.3 Capital expenditure in 2013/14 is financed from: Depreciation of the trusts owned assets; Cash surpluses from prior years – primarily from capital sources; A number of external contributions to the major building schemes (£5.7m in 2013/14) Leasing of medical equipment; Public Dividend capital of £1.7m which has been agreed can be accessed in
2013/14.
In future years receipts from the sale of the Frenchay land are critical to the overall liquidity of the Trust.
6. Cash and Statement of Financial Position (Balance Sheet) 6.1 The table below shows that the projected cash position at the end of 2012/13 is £40m and this increases slightly during the year to £44.3m. The excess of capital expenditure over funding is temporarily offset by a rise in capital creditors at the end of the year of £8.8m but this will reverse in 2014/15, meaning the underlying cash position is £35.5m. Appendices 7 and 8 show the full forecast cashflow statement as well as a monthly analysis.

6.2 The graph below shows how cash fluctuates throughout the year. There is a steep increase in cash in September when we anticipate receiving the transitional income from the National Commissioning Board of £12.5m. Net cash then drops in the final quarter of the year reflecting the profile of capital expenditure which is weighted heavily towards the final 3 months.

2013/14 cumulative monthly cash balance
6.3 Appendix 6 shows the forecast statement of financial position. There are a number of significant points to note for the position at 31st March 2014: It is anticipated that the new PFI hospital will be made available to the Trust in
March 2014, and therefore it is included as an addition to non-current assets net of an anticipated impairment of £157m;
The full value of the asset of £428m is shown as a PFI liability in order to comply with accounting for the PFI as on-balance sheet, in accordance with IFRIC 12 (service concession arrangements);
The net effect of this and previous asset write-downs results in a negative net asset balance of £3.1m. This significantly reduces dividends payable in 2013/14;
Other movements of note include a rise in capital creditors of £10.1m and other creditors of £5.7m. The £5.7m relates to external contributions to the capital programme.
6.4 The overall financial risk rating for 2013/14 is 3. (See Appendix 9).
7. Financial risks The key risks inherent in the budget are:-
Final outcome of contract negotiations, particularly with regard to penalties and CQUINS;
Commissioner activity reduction plans requiring reduction in capacity, and failure to release cost to the level required when activity and income reduces;
Failure to achieve the savings target; Cost pressures in excess of the sum set aside, e.g. for consequences arising from
meeting the recommendations of the Francis report.
If these risks materialise, the Trust will need to find offsetting mitigations, e.g. reducing discretionary spend and delaying developmental investments.
8. Summary and recommendations
This report sets out a budget plan for 2013/14 that achieves the short term financial objectives of the Trust, and is consistent with the medium term strategy. This will be another challenging year with the need to deliver a further £24m of savings. It is an achievable plan provided we do the following:-
Step up the rate of productivity improvement; Deliver savings as planned; Engage with Commissioners on demand management plans; Pro-actively take out capacity as demand falls or is managed down; Take opportunities for growth or transfer where they exist and are affordable to the
relevant commissioners; Control our costs.
This budget paper has been reviewed by the Finance Committee and it is recommended that the budget be approved. Given that the budget has been drawn up prior to the final resolution of SLA values and in particular contract terms, it may be necessary to bring a revised budget and certainly an update on the implications of the final contractual position, back to the Board.

Report to: Trust Board Agenda item: 8.2.1 Date of Meeting: 19th March 2013
Report Title: Activity and Performance Report
For information discussion assurance approval Status:
Prepared by: Alison Moroz and Daniel Bates Board Sponsor: Sasha Karakusevic Appendices:
Executive Summary: The Trust continues to achieve the admitted and non-admitted standard at Trust level. Validation of incomplete pathways is nearing completion and will enable the Trust to report a full dataset for March. Due to non-elective pressures cancelled operations remained above target during February. It has not been possible to rebook all patients within 28 days. A review of the booking process is underway. The Trust failed to achieve 2 cancer standards in February. This was principally related to pressure on activity and late referrals. The position for January has been revised due to receipt of late referrals. In February the Trust achieved 91.2% on the 4 hour admission standard. Although this is still below the 95% standard it represents an improvement. The position in March has deteriorated. Action Required: Note the report and ensure that actions, particularly regarding incomplete pathways, are undertaken by directorates.
Key Risks: The standards are underpinned by the NHS Constitution.
Failure to achieve them has an impact on patient care, reputation, staff, contract income and the Foundation Trust application process
Impact on Patients: The standards are designed to identify and support the delivery of high quality care for patients. The core standards are a right defined in the NHS Constitution. Therefore, non-delivery represents a failure to provide the required standard of care.
Impact on Staff High workload in areas affects staff in several areas. Link to Trust Objectives: 1 and 2 Care Quality Commission outcomes:
Performance indicators
NHS Constitution: Access to services. Financial Issues: Risk on income received. Legal/regulatory Issues: Yes Equality Issues considered N/A

The performance associated with the dashboard is as follows: 1. RTT 18 week a. Admitted and non-admitted pathways within 18 weeks. For non-admitted patients

Incomplete pathways – performance continues to improve and February’s
performance is 80%. Specialities are being monitored on a daily basis and performance has continued to improve during March. It is expected that March performance will be close to 90%.
c. The service transfers of Head and Neck, Breast and Urology take place on March 25th.
2. Cancer
Since the January report the position has deteriorated for the month of January. This is due to a number of late referrals and a resulting increase in shared breaches. A review of these processes is being undertaken to identify delays and potential improvements to current systems, although it is acknowledged that due to the complexity of individual cases not all breaches are avoidable. For February performance, the validations are not yet complete and therefore the draft position is shown on the balanced scorecard.
3. Cancelled operations
There are 56 same-day cancellations which means that the 0.8% target has not been met. 26 of these cancellations were within orthopaedics and are primarily driven by issues regarding bed availability.
4
16 of the total number of same day cancellations have not been re-booked within 28 days. This performance is an improvement from the January position but further improvements in performance are dependent on implementation of the 4 hour recovery plan.
4. Emergencies
In February performance delivery against the four hour indicator at Trust level was 94.0%, below the national standard of 95%. This gives a year to date position of 93.4%. The percentage for Frenchay was 91.2% giving a year to date of 90.4%. The resultant pressure has led to 330 over 15 minute ambulance handover delays for the month. This picture continues to reflect the delays in initiating flow across our assessment units, the number of delays we have in the system resulting in a variation in discharge, an increased reliance on escalation capacity and transfer of patients across site and directorate. The recovery plan is being implemented. In particular the ‘Green to Go’ system is leading to improved identification and resolution of delays to complex discharge. Twice weekly conference calls are now in place with Trust, local authority and health partners to review and action plan all patients on the list. The CARE project is being implemented and the number of patients in hospital over 14 days has reduced. It is proving difficult to accelerate the implementation of 7 day working in the assessment unit. This is principally due to a lack of available staff. Performance during March has been poor. High volumes of attendances and high admission rates have occurred. This has occurred at a time of significant staffing shortages. It has not been possible to keep all of the planned escalation beds open resulting in increased pressure in the system.

2
Clostridium difficile C.diff is an area of concern with end of year target breached in January. 5 CDiff cases attributable to the Trust in February. Year to date at the end of February is 67 cases against a target of 61. The Infection Prevention and Control Team analyse each case to determine
appropriate actions with continued focus on review of antibiotics and PPI prescribing.
The 2013/14 target will require a further reduction to a maximum of 42 cases.
. E-Coli
There were 13 cases of E-coli bacteraemia during February 2013 of which 5 were attributable to the Trust. There have been 70 cases reported to date in 2012/13. Rates of EColi infection have remained stable over the past 2 years.
Norovirus
In February there was 1 ward and 3 bays with restricted access due to confirmed Norovirus with 29 cumulative bed days lost.
Outbreaks
Work to improve the water systems on the neonatal intensive care unit is complete and NICU has returned to its refurbished ward space.
Mandatory Training Infection Control mandatory training compliance is 83% which is a reduction
from the previous month. Continued action is required from directorates to maintain training levels. A targeted approach is being taken for medical staff.
Hand Hygiene
Trust wide compliance was 95% (target 95%)
Action Required: Trust Management Team are asked to note the report and the Directorate actions required to maintain and improve infection control performance.
Key Risks:
Non achievement of DH C.diff trajectory of 61 Non achievement of DH MRSA bacteraemia trajectory of 6 Non achievement of MRSA emergency screening target which is set at 90% Infection control mandatory training compliance
Impact on Patients: Patients deserve the highest level of professional standards. CQC Outcome: Outcome 8 (regulation 12) Responsible Committee: Control of Infection Committee Presented by: Chris Burton Medical Director /DIPC Prepared by: Helen Richardson Assistant Director of Nursing

Report to: Trust Board Agenda item: 8.2.3Date of Meeting: 28 March 2013
Report Title: Finance Report to the Trust Board for the eleven months
ended 28th February 2013 For information discussion assurance approval Status:
X Prepared by: Mark Ross, Financial Controller Board Sponsor: Bill Boa, Interim Director of Finance Appendices: Yes Executive Summary:
Draft accounts have been prepared for the 11 months to February. The position is broadly breakeven. Because of the more positive position in February,
largely on PCT income and pay we have not needed to use as much of our reserves as in previous months.
PCT income is favourable against plan in the month by £0.4m The pay position is £0.2m favourable in-month. Non pay is £0.2m adverse in the month and £3.5m year to date. Performance against the savings target continues to deteriorate. Action needs to continue to be taken to improve the underlying position – achieving
planned levels of income, controlling costs within budget and making required savings. Key operational improvement actions include:
Weekly meeting to plan theatre activity; Weekly orthopaedic meeting; Review of bed allocation to minimise risk of cancellation; Implementation of 4 hour recovery plan; Finalisation of Cerner recovery; Development of whole hospital performance measures.
These actions need to be clearly linked to activity and financial improvements via the
PMO scrutiny process. Action Required: The Trust Board is asked to note the report.
Key Risks: See above Impact on Patients: Failure of the Trust to achieve its target surplus will have
a negative impact on the Trust. Trust Objectives: Care Quality Commission outcomes:
None
NHS Constitution: Financial Issues: Yes Equality Issues: No Other Legal/regulatory Issues:
Yes

1. Summary Financial Performance
KPIs
Retained Surplus Before Impairment (£m) Amber
Capital Expenditure (£m) Green
Debt repayment (£m) Green
Better payment performance Amber
Financial risk rating Green
Year to date
Notes on scoring: Retained surplus. This is the bottom line on the Trust’s income and expenditure account excluding
impairment. Green is ahead of the £7m plan, amber is adrift in the year to date position but forecasting an outturn on plan, red is adrift in the year to date with a high risk of not achieving the year end plan.
Capital expenditure. This is capital expenditure compared with plan. Green is on plan or underspent,
amber is overspent in the year to date but forecasting an outturn on plan or underspent. Red is adrift in the year to date with a high risk of overspending the year end plan.
Debt repayment. Whether the trust is on track with making its debt repayments. Either green, red or
amber according to the level of risk. Payment performance. The total number of invoices paid within 30 days expressed as a % of the total.
Green is 95% or above, amber 80% to 95%, and red is below 80% Overall risk rating under the FT rating system. Green is a risk rating of 3 or above for the year to date and
plan. Amber is less than 3 year to date but a planned 3 or above. Red is a 2 or 1 risk rating year to date and plan. The calculation of risk rating scores is set in table 9.

2.1 Income The month 10 year to date PCT income position is calculated at £3.6m below our internal plan (excluding the QIPP target). After allowing for the QIPP target, the contractual adjustments and the estimated variance for month 11, a year to date position of £1.4m adverse is reported. The £1.4m compares with £1.8m at January. The improved position is due to backdated activity recording including NICU (£0.2m) and the re-allocation of activity between PCTs. This re-allocation has had a favourable impact on the variance as activity has moved from fixed to variable contracts.

The graph below shows the normalised (recurring) variance as well as the actual variance. The reason for the difference between the two is primarily due to the operation of the BNSSG contract. The normalised variance shows the income variance for the actual activity done. The actual variance reflects the BNSSG contract agreement that (with some exceptions) the agreed contract value will be charged irrespective of under or over performance.

2.4 Efficiency Savings Savings are £6.0m below the plan to date – a worsening of £0.4m in the month. The graph below shows that while more savings were implemented during the month, we are still well short of the planned level for February. This is the position we have been in for most of the year. Focus is now on delivering the 2013/14 savings target.

The trust is behind its cash plan for the current year by almost £4m. This has been caused by delays in collection of debtors although significant sums have been received in March. Debtors and creditors remain high compared with plan but as noted above we expect these values (particularly debtors) will drop significantly during March.

Management Office (PMO) Implementation Report
For information
discussion assurance approval Status:
X
Prepared by: Ian Triplow
Executive Sponsor (presenting): Harry Hayer, Director of Organisation, People & Performance
Appendices (list if applicable): PMO Report Executive Summary: This report provides an update on the progress on the implementation of the themes and the performance of Directorates to provide assurance on the progress of the ‘Road to 2014 Transforming Services’ programme. A priority for the PMO this month has been to finalise a single Trust critical path and facilitating closing the CRES gap for Directorates and Themes. The critical path will ensure the alignment of the Operating Plan, FT, MOVE, IT, workforce planning and 13/14 budget setting and contracting. It will enable progress to be monitored on a month by month basis. The CRES close the gap workshop provided the opportunity for Directorates and Themes to further identify CRES schemes (a CRES Impact Assessment and Quality Impact Assessment process and documentation were introduced). Maturity continues to grow across the core PMO functions. Scrutiny continues to evolve. Measurement has now progressed is plan this month and the current emphasis is to identify a process to align, update and configuration control the affordability, workforce and activity spreadsheets with each other and with the bed, theatres and outpatients model. The PMO report highlights the financial pressures in the Directorates to achieve CRES and for Themes to fit within the new hospital affordability envelope.
Action Required: The Trust Board is requested to NOTE the PMO Report. Key Risks: Failure to deliver the ‘Road to 2014 Transforming Services’
Programme carries significant service delivery, financial, quality and workforce risks.
Impact on Patients: All of the themes relate directly to patient care: e.g. new hospital and service transfers.
Impact on Staff: All staff at NBT will be affected by the ‘Road to 2014 Transforming Services’ Programme.
Link to Trust Objectives: All
Care Quality Commission Outcomes:
All
NHS Constitution: Delivery of the programme will assist the Trust to meet its obligations under the NHS Constitution.
Financial Issues: The ‘Road to 2014 Transforming Services’ Programme is the primary driver to meet the Trust’s savings programme and affordability for the new hospital.
Legal/regulatory Issues: As relevant.
Equality Issues considered: Equality Impact Assessments will be conducted for all significant themes affecting patients and staff.

The existing PMO support team (previously known as DSU) provides resource to themes. A bottom up resourcing model is being progress with full competency sign off to ensure the correct resource to complete work packages required.
Measurement
The measurement group is ensuring a single process for updating the key models which inform PMO scrutiny and ERM’s including an audit trail of changes that is reviewed.
Scrutiny
The scrutiny function continues to develop with each “lens”being reviewed to ensure accuracy of information for the reviews, as well as detailed questions prepared for the executive team. Feedback to the scrutiny team has been improved.
Matrix
The themes shared interdependencies and progress at the “Closing the Gap”workshop to ensure closer links to detail work. Continued inter-theme working is being developed.

Prepared by: Paul Cresswell, Trust Secretary Executive Sponsor (presenting): Marie-Noelle Orzel, Chief Executive Appendices (list if applicable): SOM Board Statements & appendices
TDA Oversight Action Plan Executive Summary: Key Changes in SOM since February Trust Board review The Governance Risk Rating has moved from a score of 3.0 (amber/red) to 4.0 (red) due to failure to achieve the 62 day cancer target. Quality Indicators;
SHMI has reduced from 95.9 to 93.3 (figure corrected from board paper last month). This was resolved for the January data prior to submitting to TDA on 1st March.
Compliance with WHO surgical checklist – last month a specific percentage was reported (as requested by the SHA at Oversight review) of 66.5%. This figure has since been reviewed in detail given its seemingly poor position. Detailed discussion has been undertaken involving the Director of Nursing, Medical Director and Clinical Director for Surgery about what this measure should include. This dialogue has also been shared with the TDA Quality lead and has resulted in the decision to exclude data relating to endoscopy, pain clinic, radiology and cath lab as there is a limited clinical basis for its inclusion.
Over the coming month benchmarking information from other trusts is being sought through the SW quality and safety programme. NBT is being transparent about the basis of reporting and will ensure there is both a valid clinical basis for the use of the WHO checklist and also a consistent approach with other organisations.
Maternity Red Risks – following the spike in numbers from 5 to 8 in November 12 detailed assurances have been sought and obtained from Maternity Services on what this actually means in terms of providing a safe service and how they can provide assurance on this. There is a lot of detail behind this but the key points are; There is no standardised approach to measurement of a ‘maternity
dashboard’ Different units measure in different ways. The dashboard is intended to act as an improvement tool, applying ‘stretch’
targets that are by their nature challenging. This differs to many targets which measure ‘compliance’ or ‘basic safe standards.’
Dashboard scores are rigorously reviewed monthly at Womens & Children’s Clinical Governance meetings. Adverse indicators are evaluated and potential causes tested, for example through the use of clinical audits. This drives subsequent improvement action.
In future Maternity Services will provide an exception report when the number increases month on month, as a routine output from their clinical governance processes.
Sickness Absence rate - dropped below 4% for the first time since June 2012.

section' of any meeting. 2
TFA Progress is reported as “will not be delivered on time” as we now know that performance will not allow the ‘DH application’ in May 2013 as set out in the original TFA. The Trust Development Authority is fully aware of this position. Risk Rating Summary Financial Risk Rating (FRR): Overall (Normalised) Rating 2 - RED
January 13 – ratings of 3 apart from Normalised YTD of 2. February 13 – same as above.
Governance Risk Rating (GRR):Overall Rating 4.0 – RED
January 13 – 3.0 (Amber/Red) February 13 – 4.0 (Red)
2C – (RTT – patients on an incomplete pathway) – this remains red. Work to validate approximately 6000 spells continues and should complete in March 13 enabling accurate reporting to resume.
3B (All cancers: 62-day wait for first treatment) has reverted to red this month. 3E (A&E 4 hr waits) - after a ‘green’ rating in November 12 this reverted to ‘red’
in December 12, January 13 and February 13. The Board Performance report explains actions in place to improve this, referencing the key metrics that will help to track progress.
4A (Clostridium Difficile) is above YTD and annual trajectory and thus rated red. SOM Oversight Meeting with the TDA - Action Plan Following submission of the SOM, post board approval, an Oversight meeting with the TDA occurs in the first week of the month. This generates a range of actions to address which are followed up the next time. In order to bring transparency to this process and provide assurance to the Board on progress, the action plan at Appendix 2 has been drafted reflecting the discussion in early March. It has not been possible this month to provide updates but this will become a routine discipline from April Board onwards. Board Statements - Considerations
Statement 4 (The board anticipates that the trust will continue to maintain a financial risk rating of at least 3 over the next 12 months). Work is ongoing for the LTFM and IBP updates for FT project and Acute Services review. It is recommended that the current response of ‘yes’ should remain at this point.
Statement 6 (The board will ensure that the trust at all times has regard to the NHS Constitution). At the February board a comment was made by the Staff Side representative that the wording had changed from previous version of the SOM, which is correct. This does not reflect any diminished commitment from NBT. It purely reflects the fact that the original statement in the SOM was an incorrect copy of its equivalent within the Monitor Compliance Framework and this was corrected within the standard template issued by the Trust Development Authority that applies to all non Foundation Trusts.
Statement 11 - Based upon the adverse risk rating scores it is recommended that a response of ‘no’ remains in place.
Action Required: The Trust Board is requested to:
Discuss and approve responses to the 15 board statements, with particular attention to statements 4, 6 and 11, as outlined in the Executive Summary.
Review the SOM data and key changes as highlighted in the Executive Summary.

Agree the intended approach to providing assurance on progress of actions agreed with the TDA at the monthly oversight meeting.
Key Risks: Persistently adverse FRR or GRR ratings will undermine the Trust’s Foundation Trust application and/or potential merger. Specific risks are reflected in the SOM data items and narrative above.
Impact on Patients: None directly – this is a corporate return to facilitate scrutiny of the Trust by the SHA and TDA.
Impact on Staff As above Link to Trust Objectives: All Trust Big 5 objectives are relevant. Care Quality Commission outcomes:
Overall CQC compliance reflected in Governance Risk Rating ‘Quality’ section.
NHS Constitution: Reflected where relevant within SOM data Financial Issues: Reflected within SOM data Legal/regulatory Issues: SOM is required for all non-Foundation Trusts as part of
