What are we trying to achieve? • Aim to achieve rates >97% positive
recommendation. • Not to exceed 0.7% of not
recommended. • Achieve response rate of >40% for
inpatients .
What is it important to know? • Recommendation rates are above
95% for all touch points except A&E, which at 84.4% is a 2% reduction compared to last month.
• Inpatient FFT return rate has increased to 32.7%.
What’s gone well? • All internal targets
(recommendation, return and not recommend rate) met by maternity birth touch point in April.
What are the current challenges? • Inconsistent process of collection of
feedback in outpatients. • A&E not recommend rate has
increased from 7.1% to 8%. • Delay on purchase of A&E kiosks.
What are we doing about them? • Encouraging A&E receptionists to
record patients mobile numbers and their consent to activate FFT SMS service.
• Increased visual prompts for FFT in A&E (pamphlets, posters, large picture).
What are the Organisational Risks? • As a result of patients having a
poor experience we incur adverse feedback which impacts on our Friends and Family Test scores.
How are we managing them? • Strategy Deployment will result in
increased engagement with Divisions to focus on highlighted specialties to improve causal factors of poor experience .

Breakthrough Objectives
Owner : Pete Landstrom
What are we trying to achieve? • Reduce the number of patients in
our hospitals that are medically fit for discharge.
• MFFD patients in hospital beds can compromise patient flow, and impact on A&E wait and LOS.
• Metric is to reduce average patient days delayed by 50% .
What is it important to know? • MFFD average patient days
delayed fell from 1,213 to 1,176 in April.
• Number of patients delayed each day decreased to 120 on average.
• Numbers of delayed pts were very variable and fluctuated between 92 on 23/4 from 146 on 7/4.
What’s gone well? • Formal DTOCs reduced slightly
again from the already improved March position to 3.12%.
• Flow to community hospital beds from the multi-agency Live List improved.
• Overall occupancy.
What are the current challenges? • Flow has continued to be broadly
good in April and May to date, but with short peaks of significant pressure which is difficult to respond to quickly.
• Improved occupancy presents challenges with flexing down capacity to mitigate staffing costs.
What are we doing about them? • For 2017/18 the Executive has
agreed to switch the Breakthrough Objective to focus on increasing discharges.
• A 7% improvement on average discharge rates (achieving the 60th percentile of 2016/17 performance) releases the equivalent of 50 beds.
What are the Organisational Risks? • Failure to reduce MFFD patients
occupying acute hospital beds adversely impacts delivery of A&E and elective targets.
• Patients own health and wellbeing can be compromised by staying in hospital longer than required.
How are we managing them? • Weekly MFFD multi agency
meetings on both acute sites as per national recommendations.
• Daily Board Round collection of delays and next step information by Discharge Team Daily SITREP reporting of formal DTOC patient numbers and reasons.

1 Western Sussex Hospitals Foundation NHS Trust – Quality Report for Trust Board
Lynn Woolley Head of Clinical Governance
1 INTRODUCTION
1.1 This report brings together key national, regional and local indicators relating to quality and safety.
The purpose of the report is to bring to the attention of the Trust Board quality performance within
Western Sussex Hospitals Foundation Trust (WSHFT).
1.2 The paper describes performance on an exceptional basis determined by RAG (red/amber/green)
ratings based on national, regional or local targets.
2 2017/18 REFRESH
2.1 There will be a refresh of the Monthly Quality Report for 2017/18 to reflect the key quality objectives
for the next year. For April however, the report follows the same format as previously using the same
suite of metrics, with only the targets being revised using similar logic to that applied for 2016/17:-
• If 2016/17 performance exceeded target, then 2016/17 actuals used as 2017/18 target
• If 2016/17 performance did not meet target then 2016/17 target remains the same for 2017/18
• If there is a national or set target then that will continue as the measure
• Any metrics with no target set continue as before
2.2 The new scorecard is in the early stages of development and will incorporate a more extensive range
of metrics and targets.
3 KEY QUALITY OBJECTIVES
3.1 Scorecard Definitions
3.1.1 The full Clinical Quality Scorecard is presented as Appendix I. Figures are in-month figures (e.g. the
number of falls reported in April) unless otherwise stated. The Scorecard shows 13 months to allow
trends to be identified, although some data items are reported retrospectively. Year to date
actuals/targets are based on financial years unless otherwise stated (standardised mortality ratios are
recorded as 12 month positions for example). A subset of the key measures from the report is
presented at 3.3. These remain the same sub-set as last year and will be refreshed when the new
scorecard is established.
3.1.2 Exception reports are included under the relevant section of this report (Effectiveness, Safety and
Patient Experience).
3.1.3 Although the scorecard reflects 13 months of data, only the current financial year and year to date
values are RAG rated - with the exception of those metrics reported in arrears where the most recent
data-point of last year is RAG rated.
2 Western Sussex Hospitals Foundation NHS Trust – Quality Report for Trust Board
Lynn Woolley Head of Clinical Governance
3.2 Domain scores
3.2.1 The score is an overall indication of the performance in relation to each of the domains -
Effectiveness, Safety and Patient Experience. The score is calculated as follows: Each RAG rated
indicator for a month is scored: red scores 1, amber scores 2, green scores 3. These scores are then
totalled and divided by the total number of indicators with RAG ratings to give a score for the domain
as a whole between 1 and 3. This final score can then itself be RAG rated with >2.5 giving an overall
green, 1.5 to 2.5 amber and <1.5 an overall red score for the domain as a whole. For example if a
domain had two greens and a red the calculation would be as follows:
3 (green) + 3 (green) + 1 (red) = 7
7 / 3 (i.e. the total number of metrics) = 2.33 i.e. amber overall.
3.2.2 Domain scores are calculated based on the year to date RAG ratings for each metric. Previous
months are retrospectively updated to take account of any measures reported in arrears. As with any
aggregate indicator, it remains essential that the Board retains sight of the individual elements as well
as the domain score as a whole.

4 EFFECTIVENESS
4. 1 Crude Trust Mortality
4.1.1 Due to the low level of mortality experienced in elective care, the Trust measures mortality in relation
to non-elective activity using the previous year as a benchmark.
4.1.2 Crude non-elective mortality fell from 3.46% in March to 2.8% in April. This is lower than the equivalent
month in 2016 (April 2016 = 3.46%). The number of non-elective patients who died in April was 155
(from 5536 discharges). The year to date mortality rate is 2.80% and the rolling 12 month mortality
rate is 3.13%. The limit for both measures is 3.13%. 4.2 Hospital Standardised Mortality Ratio (HSMR)
4.2.1 There is a delay in data being available in Dr Foster tools to allow for coding and processing by the
Health and Social Care Information Centre and Dr Foster. The most recent data available is January
2017.
4.2.2 The Trust’s HSMR for the twelve months to January 2017 is 90.69 (where 100 is the level predicted by
the Dr Foster model using the June 2016 benchmark).
4.2.3 The twelve month HSMR to January 2017 split by site continues to be lower for St Richard’s (85.88)
than for Worthing (94.69), however both remain lower than 100. Work is continuing to examine this
difference in greater detail. 4.2.4 A further report is available to clinical leaders in the Trust showing the clinical diagnostic areas with
high actual versus expected mortality and any mortality CuSum alerts.
4.2.5 The Trust has set the goal of achieving a position within the top 20% of Trusts as measured by
HSMR. For the twelve months to December 2016 performance using this measure places us within
the top 20% of Trusts on the 18th centile
4.3 Summary Hospital-Level Mortality Indicator (SHMI) 4.3.1 The latest data made available by the Health and Social Care Information Centre is for the period to
March 2016. The Trust value is 0.99 (where 1.00 is the national average), with the Trust banded as
‘as expected’.
4 Western Sussex Hospitals Foundation NHS Trust – Quality Report for Trust Board
Lynn Woolley Head of Clinical Governance
4.4 Exception Reports Relating to Effectiveness
4.4.1 E13. C-Section rate. C-Section rate was 24.3% against a target of 26.5%, the lowest level in over a
year. Each case where a woman has a caesarean delivery undergoes a review process to look for
learning opportunities. No systemic causes or trends have been identified and practice is very much
in line with national recommendations for safe practice and NICE guidance. Increasing normal birth
continues to be an area of focus for the division and rates are closely monitored via monthly divisional
performance reviews.
4.4.2 E42. Night time moves in patients with dementia. Significant numbers of patients with dementia
continue to be subject to ward moves. Although there has been a positive downward trend since
January, the number of moves is still well outside the Trust goal. Tracking bed moves for patients with
dementia continues and the Matron for Dementia is actively monitoring progress.
4.4.3 E43. Completion of Knowing Me document for patients with dementia. There has been further
deterioration in compliance. A number of actions have been taken by the Matron for Dementia to
better understand the fall in compliance in order to effect a return to previously good levels of
completion:
• Review of the last 3 months of data by ward to identify trends and specific areas that require
support. This information has been shared with Heads of Nursing.
• Refresh on the education of matrons as to how to access the required information from
Patientrack.
• Knowing Me has been included in this week’s Theme of the Week on Dementia to raise
awareness more widely across the organisation via the safety huddles
5 SAFETY
5.1 Central Alert System (CAS) Safety Alerts
5.1.1 There are no outstanding alerts for the Trust up to April 2017.
5.2 Serious Incidents Requiring Investigation (SIRIs)
5.2.1 There were 3 incidents reported that have been categorised as serious incidents requiring
investigation in April. One case involved wrong site surgery (a Never event). Due to the
circumstances of the error the patient suffered a very low level of harm and will not require additional
corrective surgery. This incident is being investigated under the SIRI framework and interim action
has been taken in relation to what happened. The patient and family have been offered a full apology
and initial explanation. The other incidents involved a delay in diagnosis for a patient and an ill
newborn baby. These incidents are also under investigation. A detailed serious incident report is
provided to the Committee section of the Trust Board. The Board should note there can be slight
variation in the month-by-month numbers between the SIRI report and the number of significant
5 Western Sussex Hospitals Foundation NHS Trust – Quality Report for Trust Board
Lynn Woolley Head of Clinical Governance
incidents – this is because incidents are attributed to the month in which they occur whereas the SIRI
data is based on the month in which the SIRI was raised.
5.2.2 Any incidents that are reported as causing significant harm (moderate, severe or resulting in the death
of a patient) are notified immediately to the senior team in the Trust including the Director of Nursing
and Medical Director with at least weekly updates on progress.
5.2.3 On a monthly basis there is triangulation of information arising out of complaints, claims, incidents and
inquests to identify any areas of learning or for focus.
5.3 Infection control
5.3.1 There were no cases of hospital-attributable Clostridium difficile during April. The allocated Trust
target limit for 2017/18 is set at 391 (unchanged from last year). The national average for 2015/16 was
14.9 cases per 100,000 bed days.2
5.4 Falls
5.4.1 In April there were 138 inpatient falls with 34 resulting in harm against a target of 38.
5.4.2 There was 1 fall resulting in significant but not severe harm to a patient who sustained soft tissue
injury.
5.4.3 The number of falls in April equates to 5.17 per 1,000 bed days against a national figure of 6.63.3 Of
the 34 falls reported as resulting in harm in April, those causing significant harm equate to 0.03 per
1000 bed days against the national figure of 0.19.
5.5 Tissue Viability
5.5.1 Changes to the way the Trust is required to report pressure ulcers meant that more grade 2 and
grade 3 ulcers were reported in 2015/16 than in previous years. This pattern of reporting changed
from October 2016 and grade 3 or greater damage will not be routinely reported as a serious incident
unless it meets the national threshold for SIRI reporting. Internal scrutiny of cases continues exactly
as before with robust follow through of actions.
5.5.2 During April the Trust reported 17 cases of grade 2 hospital acquired pressure ulcers and one grade
3. Damage to the sacrum, buttocks and heels remains the most common form of pressure damage.

Lynn Woolley Head of Clinical Governance
Lapses in care were identified in 7 of the care reviews. Inadequate documentation of skin assessment
and changes of position is a recurring theme. There are ongoing challenges with mattress availability
with stock levels not meeting the rising demand resulting in the need for ad hoc hiring of mattresses.
Kaizen is supporting with the piece of work to look at the process. There is intensive education and
audit of SSKIN bundles and Purpose T assessment has now been fully rolled out on Patientrack.
5.5.3 The incidence of pressure ulcers, Grade 2 and above including those developing within 72 hours after
admission per 1000 bed days in March was 0.7 against a national rate of 0.9 (as per the Safety
thermometer data). The Trust goal of achieving a 10% reduction in pressure damage has been
achieved.
5.5.4 There were 165 patients admitted to the Trust from the Community with existing pressure damage.
5.6 NHS Patient Safety Thermometer
5.6.1 The NHS Patient Safety Thermometer is used across all relevant acute wards. This tool looks at point
prevalence of four key harms - falls, pressure ulcers, urinary tract infections and deep vein thrombosis
(DVT) and pulmonary embolism (PE) in all patients on a specific day in the month. A dashboard is
available to each ward showing Trust-wide and ward-level data for each individual harm as well as the
harm-free care score. These numbers are also shared via the new ward screens.
5.6.2 The harm-free care score for the Trust in April was 94.5% (indicator S02) against the target of 95.7%.
5.6.3 The Safety Thermometer includes harms suffered by the patient in healthcare settings prior to
admission. The actual number of patients who suffered no new harm during their inpatient stay at
WSHFT (indicator S03) in April was 98.7%, again very positive against a national average of 97.7%
and close to achieving the challenging target of 99% set by the organisation.
5.6.4 2 patients were diagnosed as having hospital acquired VTE during the point prevalence audit. Both
are subject to RCA and the outcome in terms of avoidability will be highlighted at the panel meeting.
Compliance with VTE assessment of patients improved this month to 95.0% against a target of 95%.
5.6.5 National data relating to the NHS safety thermometer is available here:
http://www.safetythermometer.nhs.uk/
5.7 Exception Reports Relating to Safety
5.7.1 S23 Falls assessment 88% of falls risk assessments were undertaken within 24 hours of admission
against a target of 80%.

6 PATIENT EXPERIENCE
6.3 PALS and Complaints
6.3.1 During April the Trust received 35 complaints, a similar level to last month and significantly less than
in the same period last year when 63 complaints were received. The Trust is working on improving
response times for complaints and Divisions are beginning to embed a more proactive response to
new complaints to try to facilitate resolution quickly for patients and families to avoid the need for
escalation to formal complaint.
6.3.2 The Quarterly Complaints Report provides an in-depth analysis of trends and lessons learned. This is
reviewed by the Patient Experience and Feedback Committee and is presented to the Trust Board.
6.4 Friends and Family Test (FFT)
6.4.1 Patients who access hospital services are asked whether they would recommend WSHFT to their
friends or family if they needed similar treatment. Patients who access inpatient, outpatient, day-case,
A&E and maternity are all offered the opportunity to respond to the question.
6.4.2 Immediate feedback is provided to wards and departments on a continuous basis to ensure staff can
address problems or get positive feedback as quickly as possible. In addition to this, a dashboard is
available giving wards access to their individual scores and a poster printed with ward performance to
display to the public. Ward ‘recommend’ rates are shown on the screens installed on wards.
6.4.3 Friends and Family Test Response Rates:
6.4.4 Work continues to improve response rates towards a target this year of 40% (with an interim target for
A&E of 23%). The average response rate in 2015/16 for NHS acute trusts was 24.7%. Response
rates for Inpatient and A&E are below the Trust target but are improving. Maternity achieved and
exceeded the goal of 40% for Delivery Care for a second month with 42.8% response rate.
6.4.5 While acknowledging work still to be done in achieving better response rates particularly in A&E, the
proportion of patients who would have recommended our services to friends and family in April
compares favourably with national median benchmark and with the exception of A&E also against our
internal target as per the table below:
Percentage recommending WSHFT in April (plus YTD)
Target
Inpatient care 97.0% (97.0%) 97%
A&E 84.6% (84.6%) 93%
Maternity: Delivery care 98.8% (98.8%) 97%

7 CARE QUALITY COMMISSION (CQC)
7.3 CQC Inspection
7.3.1 The CQC undertook inspection of the Trust on 8th to 11th December 2015. A summary of actions on
areas identified for improvement has been provided to the CQC. These actions are monitored through
the CQC Steering Group and updates provided to the Trust Executive Committee each month. The
action plan is overseen by the Quality and Risk Committee. A mock inspection was undertaken by
internal staff with the support of some external representatives on 10th and 13th October 2016. A full
report of findings was presented to Trust Executive Committee and the Quality and Risk Committee.
A further programme of internal inspection is planned for later in the year using CQC methodology.
7.3.2 Steering Group will oversee progress under its future extended function as an overarching quality
assurance group, the Terms of Reference for which are being developed.

FOR INFORMATION
WSHFT PERFORMANCE REPORT: MONTH 1, 2017/18
1. INTRODUCTION
1.1 This report summarises the current in year performance for Western Sussex Hospitals NHS
Foundation Trust, with further detail provided in the appendices relating to:
• The NHSI Single Oversight Framework
• Key Performance Deliverables Report
• Operational Performance Scorecard
• Sustainability and Transformation Fund Performance Monitoring
1.2 This paper provides the Board with an update on performance on a specific basis determined by
RAG rating, national significance, or in year trend analysis.
1.3 Introduced as a condition of the National Sustainability and Transformation Programme and
Funding, all Trusts have again submitted joint performance trajectories on the key areas of A&E,
RTT, and Cancer. The detailed tracking of the Trust’s performance against this trajectory is
included in an Appendix of this report, and performance against the requirements is summarised
for each relevant performance area. The trajectory has changed for 2017/18 based on specific
criteria for all indicators, and diagnostic waiters are no longer included. The Sustainability and
Transformation Fund payments in 2017/18 are indicatively based on A&E performance against
trajectory only as per NHS Improvement advice, although official guidance confirming this has not
yet been received.
2. SUMMARY PERFORMANCE
2.1 Under the Single Oversight Framework, the Trust was compliant for Cancer and Diagnostic
metrics against National Constitutional Targets. A&E performance was fractionally below
National Constitutional Target and and RTT compliance reduced from previous compliant levels
to below National Constitutional target.
3
2.2 Operationally April saw continued high but variable levels of emergency demand both through
A&E and as emergency admissions, which were slightly above the levels seen at the same time
last year. It should also be noted that there were also less working days in April 2017 which
resulted in an expected drop in elective activity relative to previous months and last year.
• 11,571 A&E attendances compared to 11,170 in April 2016 (representing a +3.6%
increase on the same time last year).
• 4,647 emergency admissions compared to 4,511 in April 2016 (representing a +3.0%
increase on the same time last year).
• Formally reportable Delayed Transfers of Care totalled 3.12% for April 2017. This is a
marginal reduction from 3.15% in March 2017. Medically Fit for Discharge (MFFD)
patients reduced to an average of 120 per day, representing one of the lowest
average levels for the last 12 months.
• Average Inpatient Bed Occupancy was 94.1% in April, a slight increase on March
occupancy. The Trust was able to reduce the volume of escalation beds were open
over the period however so this actually equates to approximately 18 fewer beds
occupied overall than in March.
2.3 Of note, there was an increase of +5.7% in A&E attendances for patients aged 65 and over in
April, with a significant change in presentation. Compared to April 2016 there was a +13.0%
increase in over 65 year old patients attending the emergency departments between the hours of
8pm and 4am. Over 65 emergency admissions also increased in April 2017 by +2.1% compared
to April 2016.
3 TRUE NORTH AND BREAKTHROUGH OBJECTIVES
3.1 True North – Systems and Partnerships
3.1.1 The Trust is current Red but Stable against both the A&E and RTT True North metrics. Although
neither metric achieved the target they were relatively consistent against previous month’s
compliant position.
3.1.2 Recovery in both areas has already been seen in both areas, and in particular the focus on the
RTT recovery actions in elective specialties is underway and will impact in the next couple of
months.
4
3.2 Breakthrough Objectives – Systems and Partnerships
3.2.1 The current Breakthrough Objective of reducing Medically Fit for Discharge (MFFD) patients is
Red but Improving in April. There was a reduction in both the average number of MFFD
patients, and the average number of days delayed for each patient. In particular over April the
flow to Community Hospitals has improved, and in turn the number of beds occupied has also
reduced.
3.2.2 The Board should note that for 2017/18 the Trust will change the Breakthrough Objective for
Systems and Partnerships with the aim to increase the numbers of patients discharged on a daily
basis by 7% through both internal improvements and external flows. If achieved this would
release approximately 50 beds through improved flow through the hospital and support delivery
of the True North objectives.
4 KEY AREAS OF PERFORMANCE 4.1 A&E Compliance
4.1.1 The Trust was non-compliant against the National target in April, with 94.9% of patients waiting
less than four hours from arrival at A&E to admission, transfer, or discharge. This represents
missing the 95% target by just 14 patients out of 12,511 emergency attendances over the course
of the month.
4.1.2 April compliance was however ahead of the delivery requirements of the in-month Sustainability
and Transformation Fund trajectory for WSHFT of 93.6%.
4.1.3 Access to beds due to delayed transfers of care (DTOC) decreased marginally to 3.12% in April
2017 when compared to March 2017 (3.16%). April DTOCs peaked at 4.1% in the week ending
16th April with both sites above 4%. In real terms, this reflects an impact in ‘lost’ beds that
fluctuated between a minimum of c11 beds and a high of c44 beds during the month.
4.1.4 Patients who were medically fit for discharge (MFFD) reduced to 120 patients on average per day
in April compared to 133 in March. The number of patients medically fit for discharge fluctuated
between 146 patients on 7th April to 92 on the 23rd April.
4.1.5 Nationally and regionally A&E delivery has continued to be challenging. National performance
improved to 85.1% in March 2017. Regionally, compliance for the South of England was 85.9%,
with NHS England South (South East) Trusts (excluding WSHFT) generating aggregate
compliance of 88.1%
4.1.6 The publication of the latest national data confirms that WSHFT was the 9th highest performing
trust nationally in 2016/17 the best performing trust in NHS South.
5
4.2 Cancer
4.2.1 The Trust was compliant against 6 out of 7 metrics in April, and exceeded the Single Oversight
Framework 62 day treatment requirements with provisional performance of 91.6% against an
STF trajectory of 85.2%.
4.2.2 The provisional position for April shows the Trust to be non-compliant against 2 week breast
symptomatic patients where 91.6% of patients were seen within 2 weeks against a target of 93%.
This represents an additional 3 patients who waited longer than 2 weeks of the total 168 patients
seen on this pathway in April.
4.2.3 2 week breast symptomatic cancer referrals in March 2017 were 16.3% higher than observed in
March 2016, which impacted on the demand for appointments in April. Compounding this, patient
availability due to patient choice was constrained due to Easter holidays. The trust undertook
additional Saturday clinics to mitigate the risk of further breaches, and saw 9% more breast
symptomatic patients April 2017 than April 2016.
4.2.4 May to date for breast symptomatic referrals shows a provisional position of 100% against the
93% target.
4.2.5 The Trust achieved the Sustainability and Transformation Fund trajectory for 62 day patients
(following urgent referral and patients referred via screening) of 85.2% in April, with the Trust’s
provisional April compliance against this combined metric of 91.6%
4.2.6 For context, latest comparative nationally published data relating to March 2017 shows National
aggregate compliance for the cancer 62 day treatment to be 83.0% compared to WSHFT
performance of 90.8% and the National target of 85%. In March 2017, 46% of Trusts in England
were non-compliant against this standard.
4.3 Referral to Treatment (RTT/18 Weeks)
4.3.1 The Trust was non-compliant against the National Constitutional Target of 92% in April with
90.7% of pathways waiting less than 18 weeks.
4.3.2 The drop in compliance is as a result two key issues;
• A reduced numbers of completed pathways in April due to the Easter break, with
associated fewer working days (and patient choice). The 18 week pathway for patients
referred over the first part of the year continued, which resulted in an increased
number of patients becoming breaches at the same time as a drop in capacity.
Appropriately the Trust prioritised 2 week rule cancer and clinically urgent patients into
6
the available capacity, which reduced the ability to treat longer waiting routine patients
and impacted on overall performance.
• As noted in the March 2017 board report, there has also been an additional specialty
specific pressure relating to oral surgery/maxillo-facial surgery patients which
compounded the impact on aggregate compliance. The Trust has already
implementing a range of mitigating actions in collaboration with NHS England to
manage the demand spike and provide additional capacity to target this shortfall. Due
to the scale of the imbalance, and national challenges relating to long and short term
specialist oral surgeon recruitment, the board should note this is likely to continue to
impact overall compliance for at least the next few months.
4.3.3 The board should note that the current May provisional RTT performance shows signs of
recovery, with improvements in a number of specialties and stabilisation of the OMFS position.
4.3.4 Latest published national data relates to March 2017 and shows a slight improvement in national
compliance, at 89.8% inclusive of Trusts not currently reporting formally, with 34.7% of Trusts
overall non-compliant.
4.4 Diagnostic Test Waiting Times
4.4.1 The Trust compliance for April was 0.9% over 6 week waiters across all diagnostic modes, which
is compliant against the 1% national target, due to successful implementation of the recovery
actions noted in previous months’ board papers.
4.4.2 WSHFT performed slightly better than peers in March (the latest comparable national data); with
South of England Region aggregate compliance of 1.2% and National compliance at 1.1%,
compared to WSHFT March performance of 0.8%
5 RECOMMENDATION
5.1 The Board is asked to receive the Month 1 performance position.
5.2 The Board is asked to note the year to date compliance against the delivery requirements of the
Sustainability and Transformation Fund (STF) for Cancer and A&E, and non-compliant position
for RTT.

FOR INFORMATION
ORGANISATIONAL DEVELOPMENT AND WORKFORCE REPORT 1.00 INTRODUCTION 1.01 This sets out the key headlines relating to the Trust’s workforce at 30 April 2017.
2.00 Workforce Capacity 2.01 The funded establishments were reset during Month 1 to reflect the outcome of budget setting
across the Trust. This has resulted in an overall reduction of 148.2 wte. Within the Core Division, pay budgets have been rebased by converting 96.9 wte budgeted vacancies into bank and agency lines. Budgets in the Medicine Division have been adjusted to account for the reduction in escalation beds on Apuldram and Brooklands wards. The division has bid for funding for these areas but the final budget position is still under discussion. 25 wte staff TUPE transferred to Compass as part of the retail catering contract and this is reflected within the Estates, Facilities and Capital Division. It should be noted that this also mirrored in staff turnover in April for this division.
The total wte used in month decreased by circa 172 wte. Whilst there was a net decrease in the number of substantive staff employed across the organisation (12 wte), taking account of the TUPE transfer, there was a significant reduction in the amount of temporary staffing used. This follows a late Easter and extended school holiday period when less staff are available to work.
2.02 Agency spend in month 1 was £1.2m (48% medical; 45% nursing; 5% other), and represents a
reduction of £227k (16% improvement) from last month and £0.52m from April 2016. The majority of reduction in month was from medical agency where the supply reduced. This follows the introduction of IR35 reforms and the challenging first few weeks in April noted in last month’s report.
2.03 An increase in spend in month reflects pay enhancements for the Easter bank holidays and
accrual for the 1% national pay award effective from 1 April 2017. 2.04 A further drive to reduce the cost of nurse agency has commenced. This includes a re-tiering
of agencies based on hourly rates with early access to shifts for less expensive agencies. The number of agencies supplying at NHSI capped rates is increasing and it is anticipated that the impact of IR35 will encourage more nurses to work directly for our hospitals either substantively or on the staff bank.
3.00 Update on impact of IR35 compliance 3.01 The implementation of the IR35 reforms has resulted in different outcomes for different staffing
groups. The supply of medical staff through employment agencies has continued to be
Page 2 of 7
challenging and in some specialties has led to a request for increased hourly rates. However the level of supply is slowly being restored to previous volumes.
For AHP staff, a number of employment opportunities exist outside of the NHS labour market
which has led to a small reduction in the supply through agencies. This was noted last month for three Sonographers who have moved to the private sector.
The impact for the supply registered nurses has been to the Trust’s advantage. It has enabled
us to start to re-align the hourly rate for those nurses who “switched” to a direct engagement on protected pay rates earlier in the year, and driven agencies to reduce the pay rates and/or reconsider their profit margins.
We will continue to monitor the impact on operational delivery.
4.00 Medical Recruitment Medical recruitment in particular continues to be focus and we have recently been successful
in appointing four Clinical Fellows for the middle grade rotas in Medicine to commence in August. Within the Surgery Division, a contract has been agreed for the supply of 137 hours per week Resident Medical Officers (RMOs) across general surgery, orthopaedics and urology. This will also become effective from August and will inform the Trust’s strategy for reducing reliance on medical agency.
A business case to trial the introduction of Doctors’ Assistants (a hybrid of clinical and
administrative responsibilities) within medicine is currently being developed. This is in addition to Physician Associates and Surgical Care Practitioner roles used to supplement the work undertaken by junior doctors.
Work is well advanced in the preparation for the changeover of junior doctors in August.
Additional controls are in place to mitigate the impact of the new terms and conditions of employment for the largest cohort due to transfer on 2 August. This includes an FAQ sheet, login and training for exception reporting and a revised induction programme. A weekly divisional status report on recruitment activity will be implemented as usual from end of May to inform risks and mitigations required.
4.00 Staff Turnover 4.01 Staff turnover increased marginally in month to 8.5%. With the exception of the Medicine
Division, all divisions experienced a small uplift in the number of staff leaving the organisation. The ceiling for 2017/18 has been reset to 8.5%. This will provide a stretch target across divisions and ensure it continues to receive attention.
A separate report on 2016/17 findings is attached.
5.00 Workforce Efficiency 5.01 Sickness absence decreased again during March to 3.2%. The year ended at 3.7%, compared
to 3.8% in 2016/17. 5.02 Breakdown by divisions shows that improvement in sickness rates has largely been
experienced within Core and Corporate Divisions, with deterioration in the Estates, Facilities and Capital Division.
Page 3 of 7
March 2016 March 2017 Trust wide 3.8% 3.7% Core 3.4% 3.0% Corporate 3.8% 2.9% Estates, Facilities and Capital 4.9% 5.2% Medicine 4.0% 4.1% Surgery 4.0% 3.9% Women and Children 3.5% 3.6%
5.03 The number of sickness episodes reduced again in month by a further 6.6% (91 episodes). 5.04 Long term sickness (more than 1 month) fell across all divisions and at 1.4% was at its lowest
level in the year. Short term sickness also fell during March to 1.8% and was at a similar level to May and June 2016.
6.00 Appraisals 6.01 Appraisal rates of 84% were maintained across the Trust again during April. There was
improvement within the Corporate, Surgery and Estates, Facilities and Capital Divisions, with deterioration within the Medicine Division. Increasing the number of staff who have had an appraisal in the last 12 months has become a driver metrics for the clinical divisions and counter measure summaries are now in place to drive improvement.
7.00 Staff Consultation Consultation on the new group management and leadership arrangements here and at
Brighton and Sussex University Hospitals has commenced and will close in early June. It is anticipated that at this stage approximately 12 staff at the Trust will be affected by the proposals. The Trust’s Managing Change policy will be followed and no redundancies are anticipated.
8.00 Family and Friends Test Staff advocacy of the Trust remains high with an overall engagement score of 3.92. Changes
to the Your Health and Safety day, where staff engagement is tested, are currently under development. These changes will include aligning all topics (eg. fire, IG, health and safety, adult and child protection) to the Trusts’s strategic themes; promoting key messages; sharing stories where improvements have been made and providing staff with tools to make improvements happen.
9.00 Workforce Skills and Development 9.01 Statutory and Mandatory Training
Whilst training attendance remains high, with the majority of mandatory modules remaining above the trust target of 90%, attendance on all statutory and mandatory modules has dropped slightly in the last month. This is due to 1 Your H&S Day and 2 Patient Handling courses being cancelled in March to allow for building work to take place at Ridgeworth House, Worthing. Further mandatory training was cancelled this month as the building work had to be rescheduled, and this will impact on next month’s training attendance statistics The postponement of the building work at Ridgeworth House on two occasions will mean that additional mandatory training courses will need to be cancelled for a third time to enable this work to be completed. Whilst, the building work will provide increased capacity on the Worthing
Page 4 of 7
site in the longer term (an additional 35 places a week), the cancellation of mandatory training will have an impact on training attendance in the short term.
The number of staff who have never attended any mandatory training (and started in the Trust more than 3 months ago) is currently six (five of whom are Medical staff). The names of the five individuals have been escalated to Chiefs/ DDOs and we will continue to work with Divisions to ensure that these individuals completed their training as soon as possible.
9.02 Widening participation
Work Experience - a range of new Work experience opportunities have been arranged at the Trust. Four students from Worthing College spent 1 day a week on the Wards over the past 10 weeks. A review of the programme is being undertaken. Last week 6 Health and Social care student spent the week on the Wards at St Richards including ACU, Lavant, Fishbourne and the Fernhurst centre. An evaluation on both programmes is currently being undertaken.
Later this month, twelve year 10 students from The Angmering School, Sir Woodard Academy and Durrington High will be on the ‘Introduction into the NHS Programme’ where sessions include maternity, pharmacy, dietitians etc.
We are also holding a taster day for the Princes Trust at the Laurels Day Centre in Rustington on the 23 May. We are offering 14 placements in total across the Wards, Pharmacy, and Estates. There will also be placements from West Sussex Council, Guildcare and Independent lives.
9.03 Apprenticeships
The Apprentice Levy commenced on the 6 April 2017, the Trusts first contribution of £92,133.00 will be paid into the trust Digital Account by the end of May. Contributions will vary each month dependent on payroll. The first candidates have been entered onto the system.
The process for procuring apprenticeship qualifications has changed since the 1st May. We are in the process of submitting our tender for apprenticeships; however this is a long process so in the meantime to be able to meet the needs of managers requiring apprentices we have to deal directly with providers outside of the new process.
The Apprentice Strategy and proposal to Standardise Apprentice Salaries are currently under review/waiting for approval prior to submission to the Trust Executive Committee. Further trailblazers (new apprentice standards) are continuing to be approved and developed, funding is available from Health Education England (£5000) to support trust staff to attend trailblazer meetings and complete actions over a 2 year period of the development of the degree apprenticeship standard.
The development of new standards will allow the Trust to develop new roles.

STAFF TURNOVER 2016/17
1.0 INTRODUCTION
The purpose of this paper is to provide the Trust Board with an analysis of turnover during 2016/17, an update on the actions taken since May 2016 and proposed interventions to mitigate the continuing loss of required skills and competencies in the Trust.
2.0 BACKGROUND Reducing staff turnover has been a key tenant of the organisation’s workforce strategy for the last two years. A detailed analysis of turnover at the outset, informed by academic research and studies, identified that: a) A high percentage of those leaving the Trust had less than 2 years’ service and for some staff
groups (nursing and allied health professionals) this was higher b) Turnover at Worthing was greater than at Chichester in almost all areas c) The number of staff retiring each year is a key feature of turnover d) There are generational differences in the values, expectations, perceptions and motivations of
staff in the workplace that require a change to how career opportunities and workplace support is designed and delivered
Interventions to improve staff retention since April 2015 have included:
• Raising awareness of the generational characteristics of Baby Boomers, Generation X, Generation Y and the emerging Generation Z (see Appendix 1)
• Designing a framework for regular Stay interviews to be conducted for new joiners during the first two years; supplementing the annual appraisal cycle
• Rolling out training sessions for managers • Establishing retention groups for key staff groups • Analysing the findings from Exit questionnaires • Identifying hot spots with high turnover and poor job satisfaction • Engaging with staff to understand how to improve job satisfaction • Action learning through NHS Employers retention workshops
3.0 FINDINGS 2016/17 3.1 2016/17
Between 1 April 2016 and 31 March 2017, there were 554 leavers. This represented a Trust turnover of 8.15%. This compares to 580 leavers in 2015/16 and 562 leavers in 2014/15. The relative numbers of leavers are important, rather than the turnover percentage, where the denominator has changed. Nonetheless, there has been an improvement in the number of staff leaving the Trust by 6% in the last 12 months.
Page 2 of 11
74% of leavers were unplanned compared to 80% in 2015/16 and 74% in 2014/15. There is evidence that for the majority of staff groups the position is stable and/or is improving. This reflects targeted interventions particularly within the Core Division.

3.2 Benchmarks
Whilst benchmark data is not yet available for 2016/17, there is no reason to suggest that the Trust’s relative position in comparison to other NHS trusts in 2015/16 has changed. This is set out below:

3.3 Reasons for Leaving
The reasons for leaving compared to previous years are set out below:
Reason No. of leavers 2016/17
% of Leavers
No. of leavers 2015/16
% of Leavers
No. of leavers 2014/15

Retirement 139 25% 110 18.7% 128 22.8% Dismissal 35 6.3% 14 2.4% 5 0.9% Redundancy 2 0.4% 3 0.5% 8 1.4% End of fixed term contract 2 0.4% 1 0.2% 7 1.3% Death 2 0.4% 3 0.5% 3 0.5% Voluntary resignation 374 67.8% 449 77.5% 411 73.1% Total 554 580 562 The number of staff retiring continued to be a feature of staff turnover in 2016/17. This is not
unexpected given the ageing workforce and the special class status retained by some staff groups that enables retirement at 55 years with full pension benefits. Whilst our HR systems do not enable us to report at a trust-wide level the number of staff who have returned to work, it is reported that a number do so and often on a part-time basis.
It is encouraging to note that during 2016/17, the number of staff who left by way of voluntary resignation reduced, demonstrating an improvement of 9% since 2014/15. Of the 554 leavers in 2016/17, 374 people (67%) left the Trust through voluntary resignation, of which 29% cited work life balance and 26% cited relocation as the main reasons for leaving.
Since the introduction of a drop-down box on the leaver form, the number of “other/not known
reason for voluntary resignation has significantly improved. 3.4 Length of Service
There have been concerns since 2014/15 about the high percentage of staff leaving the Trust within 2 years of joining. The table below shows that this has not improved and the number of staff leaving the organisation with less than 12 months’ service has increased from 15% to 18% since 2014/15.
Page 4 of 11
Whilst the number of staff leaving within 1-2 years has decreased from 23% to 19%, this still represents 37% of leavers with less than 2 years’ service.
3.5 Turnover by Length of Service and by Staff Group
In order to understand the poor retention of staff with less than 2 years’ service, a breakdown by staff group highlights the specific areas of concern.

This shows that the number of registered nurses and midwives who leave the Trust with less than 12 months’ service is a deteriorating position. Alarmingly over half of the 81 HCAs who left in 2016/17 did so within two years’ of joining the organisation, with 56% having less than 12 months’ service. Notwithstanding the impact this has on patient care and staffing levels, the direct recruitment costs for this staff group alone including selection, onboarding, induction and training costs is circa £2,000 per person. The other staff groups where retention remains a concern are AHPs, Scientific, Professional and Technical.

With the exception of the Estates, Facilities and Capital Division, retention of staff in the first 2 years’ of service is lower than desired. Within the Medicine Division this is a particular issue and reflects the larger proportion of registered nurses and HCAs employed.
3.7 Leavers by Generation
41% of the 554 leavers in 2016/17 are in the Baby Boomer (born 1946-1964) generation, which is
replicated in all Divisions except Core. In this case 35.7% are Generation Y (born 1981-1994). Leavers in Generation Z (born 1995 to 2010) continue to remain small in number.

The highest level of leavers by staff group by generation is as follows:
Baby Boomers Medical, Nursing and Midwifery, Additional Clinical services, Admin and Clerical, Estates & Ancillary
Generation X Professional and Technical, Healthcare Scientists Generation Y HCA/MCA and Allied Health Professionals
3.8 Areas of Concern
Turnover where the number of staff exceeds 5 or represents more than 10% identifies the following departments/wards as areas of concern: Core: Medical imaging, Worthing Pharmacy, Chichester
Physiotherapy, Worthing Medicine: AMU, Chichester
Emergency Floor, Worthing Barrow Ward, Worthing Buckingham Ward, Worthing Durrington Ward, Worthing
Surgery: Chiltington Ward, Worthing
3.9 Reasons why people leave
It was noted in last years’ report (May 2016) that the key reasons people leave their job are:
• The job or workplace was not as expected • There is a mismatch between the job and the person. 80% of workers feel they do not
use their strengths every day • Too little coaching and feedback • Too few growth and advancement opportunities • Feeling de-valued and unrecognized • Stress from overwork and work-life balance • Loss of confidence in leadership
Page 7 of 11
Studies in Denmark also show that in the first year from student to nurse, the demands in the workplace are overwhelming and there is a mismatch between the learning and the experience. In the second year, it was identified that continue support is vital to prevent burnout or attrition.
3.10 What our staff have already told us
Listening to our staff and responding to their feedback is fundamental to retaining their knowledge and skills. Using the data from Exit questionnaires, Stay interviews, staff forums and leaver forms, the underlying reasons why individuals leave is because their work life balance is not supported or they are relocating for development opportunities.
Feedback from staff has included:
• Not delivering what is promised at interview • Local induction lacking • Needing to overcome delays in agreeing start dates with ward/department area and
having the tools for the job (eg. Smartcard, ID badge) • Ensuring that the rostering of shifts is fair (last in get worst shifts and staff are moved to
night shifts) • Releasing staff for training problematic • Encouraging development of additional skills (eg IV training) • Unfair allocation of leave • Stay interviews/appraisals not being held • Not feeling valued/supported by manager
Stay interviews Despite the evidence that stay interviews undertaken at regular intervals and acted upon, are
more effective than exit interviews, these are not consistently undertaken in the organisation.
In some areas there is little appetite to embed these and without an alternative, managers will be unsighted on whether the individual’s needs and expectations are being met. For Generations Y and Z, they expect support, frequent feedback on progress, flexibility and work life balance. They are career motivated and will change employers if their needs are not met.
There is currently no methodology for the collation of themes at directorate and division level
that will inform future strategies. Exit questionnaires Uptake of exit questionnaires has improved although it remains lower than desired, particularly
in the absence of findings from stay interviews. However of the 203 exit questionnaires completed in 2016/17, 46 leavers stated that they could have been persuaded to stay.
Since last year, staff leaving have been offered the opportunity to meet with a Staff Governor or
Ambassador to discuss their reasons for leaving. Whilst uptake has been very small, it provides an alternative for those seeking to share their experience of the organisation.
New starter forums
There are a number of forums where new starters are invited to meet with Executive directors or
divisional senior managers to talk about their experience in an informal setting. These are well attended but it is unclear what themes have emerged and how these are being addressed.
4.0 RETENTION STRATEGIES
Page 8 of 11
It has previously been identified that generational differences impact on staff turnover and future
retention strategies need to reflect these. It is also clear that organisational culture has a direct bearing on an employee’s happiness at work and their decision to stay or leave an organisation. Improving staff turnover is therefore multi-factorial. We need to continue our focus on:
Living the NHS values – how we make our social purpose tangible and take time to link
operational priorities and actions to the ‘big picture’ particularly at times when demand, capacity and financial challenges take operational priority. Junior staff in particular need more help to make links between their personal contribution and the difference this is making to society as a whole.
Embedding the Patient First programme and the Patient First Improvement System (PFIS) throughout the organisation through strategy deployment will facilitate this.
Rewarding careers – that are well defined, structured and offer development opportunities and
progression.
Staff leaving have told us we need to do much more in this area. This work has started and within the Core Division, improving the career pathway and opportunities for development has been identified. Through their well-established divisional workforce group, a number of development posts have been agreed. This includes recruitment at band 3 in pathology to progress to a biomedical scientist at band 6. Within physiotherapy extended scope practitioners have been introduced.
Divisions are beginning to develop career pathways that take advantage of the Apprentice Levy.
This includes operational management, associate practitioners, doctors assistants and combined admin/HCA roles.
The development of a nurse rotation programme is in the advanced stages of planning and
could be extended to include a transfer window or an exchange programme. Flexible working – patterns of working that allow staff to achieve a good work life balance,
noting that individuals needs differ flexibly throughout their career. For younger generations this includes exploring innovative ways of working and managing shift patterns to suit the generational difference. Work-life balance is paramount and if work or work related fatigue begins to compromise this, other options of employment will be considered.
Work life balance is cited as the largest single reason why staff resign in the Trust. Staff have
already told us that in some areas there is an unfair allocation of shifts and annual leave, coupled with being moved to wards and unfamiliar teams.
Supervision, mentorship, preceptorship and coaching – this is a key area that staff, particularly
in Generations Y and Z, need and expect to receive. A number of our HCAs, particularly in their first year, are reporting that this needs to be significantly improved.
Value and recognition of achievement – staff need to be valued and their achievements
recognised. There are a series of well-regarded programmes in place across the Trust that demonstrate how we value and recognise staff. This includes employee of the month, annual STARS awards, staff conferences, stories in Headlines, continuous improvement project updates, Patient First in Action stories, Marianne’s message, health and wellbeing initiatives and staff benefits. In PFIS areas, celebrating success and acknowledging good performance is integral to day to day working.
Promoting excellent team working – this is particularly important for Generations Y and Z who
have not been used to working, learning or problem solving in isolation. Promoting good team

dynamics, regular team meetings and involvement in decision-making is being rolled out as part of the PFIS and strategy deployment of our True North objectives.
5.0 CONCLUSION
• The average number of staff leaving the Trust is circa 550 per annum. • In the last 2 years the number of staff who left by way of voluntary resignation reduced by
75. • The number of staff retiring continues to be a substantial feature of staff turnover,
representing 25% in 2016/17. • The top two reasons for voluntary resignation are work-life balance and relocation for
career progression. • Whilst staff turnover in the organisation compares favourably to other NHS trusts, the loss
of skills and experience undermines the significant efforts to recruit clinical staff in an already competitive labour market where there are national shortages in a number of occupations.
• The number of staff leaving with less than 2 years’ service remains a real concern and particularly for HCAs, with 32% of leavers having less than 12 months’ service. This is a deteriorating position.
• Generational differences impact on staff turnover and there was a higher turnover from Generation Y for HCAs and AHP leavers.
• There is higher turnover at Worthing and specific areas of concern are Medical Imaging, Pharmacy, Physiotherapy, AMU, Emergency Floor, Barrow, Buckingham, Durrington and Chiltington Wards.
• Staff have provided feedback on their experiences or reasons for leaving through staff forums and exit questionnaires; most of which are resolvable at department/ward level.
• Stay interviews are not embedded in the organisation, with little appetite to do so in some areas. Given the turnover of key clinical staff it is clear that the needs and expectations of Generations Y and Z in particular are not being met.
• There is currently no methodology for the collation of themes from stay interviews at directorate and divisional level.
• The Patient First programme, roll out of PFIS and strategy deployment at divisional level is contributing positively to the key strands of our retention strategies.
• We need to do more on helping staff to achieve work-life balance through fair allocation of shifts and annual leave. For ward based staff we must aim to reduce the number of times we move them to other areas where they are working with unfamiliar teams.
• We must aim to significantly improve the supervision, mentorship, preceptorship and coaching for staff.
6.0 PROPOSED ACTIONS
• Improving the retention of staff with less than 2 years’ service needs to be prioritised by
clinical divisions. It is proposed that as part of strategy deployment consideration is given to this being a driver metric.
• A3 problem solving methodology for HCAs turnover should be used to understand the root causes. This will be led by the Workforce Manager for Medicine.
Page 10 of 11
• A methodology for the collation of themes from Stay interviews should be co-designed with divisional and HR colleagues, led by the HR team.
• Stay interviews should be reintroduced to those staffing groups where turnover is high eg.
registered nurses, HCAs and AHPs.
• A quarterly report of the themes arising from Exit interviews should form part of the workforce reporting at divisional management boards.
• Quarterly new starter forums should be introduced/re-introduced at staff group or divisional
level. These will be replicated at Trust wide level and led by the Directors of Nursing and HR. The themes arising from these engagement events should be captured and responses published in divisional newsletters and on the staff engagement page on StaffNet.
• Continue to offer flexible employment options to staff approaching retirement to retain their
knowledge and skills for longer.

Alison Ingoe, Deputy Director of Finance; David Lowe, Assistant Director of Finance
Status
Confidential
Summary of Proposal At the end of April the Trust is reporting a control total deficit, before STF, of £2.3m against a planned deficit of £0.7m. Non Elective activity continued at similar levels to Q4 16/17 and assumed growth has not materialised but the Trust has been unable to achieve a corresponding reduction in capacity and therefore costs. A review of flexing down capacity and cost is underway should activity levels continue to reduce. The financial risk rating has dropped to a '3', which is a consequence of the adverse position in month. The Financial Performance paper provides further detail on the Trust’s financial position. Implications for Quality of Care
Financial planning principles have been established to ensure that expenditure budgets reflect anticipated activity levels and that agreed staffing levels are maintained.

Key Risks:
The cash position is behind plan, due to the impact of the adverse operating position
and reduced working capital from not achieving the STF in Q4.
There was capital expenditure of £0.4m in M1, predominantly in IM&T, which was
£0.1m ahead of plan.
The Trust had a small over delivery in April due to over-performance in Medicines
Management and is forecast to be on plan at year end.
1. Agreement and reconciliation of income due for activity undertaken remains a significant risk due to the financial position within the health economy. Outstanding issues from 2016/17 are now progressing to formal mediation. The Trust is working with the CCG
to agree a contract position for 2017/18 that is affordable and sustainable for both parties.
2. Alignment of capacity to non-elective and elective activity levels and responsiveness to changes in levels of demand. A review of capacity levels is underway t and expected to conclude prior to the reporting of the M2 position.
3. Achievement of financial control on a quarterly basis and delivery of access trajectories to secure access to the Sustainability and Transformation Funds. The Trust is behind trajectory in M1 and will need to recover this position in order to achieve STF funding
during the year.
4. Ability to exit premium rate workforce arrangements. The Workforce Transformation Group is overseeing action plans to increase recruitment, redesign workforce roles and manage sickness, rostering and retention issues. Opportunities to move to framework
agencies and reduce rates paid per shift are also being explored.
At the end of April the Trust is reporting a control total deficit, before STF, of £2.3m against a planned deficit of £0.7m. Non Elective activity continued at similar levels to Q4 16/17 and assumed growth has not materialised but the Trust has been unable to achieve
a corresponding reduction in capacity and therefore costs. A review of flexing down capacity and cost is underway should activity levels continue to reduce. The financial risk rating has dropped to a '3', which is a consequence of the adverse position in month.
At the end of April, the Trust has a rating of '3'. The effect of the deficit in month has
caused a reduction in the metrics linked to I&E perfomance. The liquidity metric
remains at a '3'. The Trust is under its agency ceiling trajectory so this particular
metric has improved to a '1'.
The Trust is reporting an adverse variance to plan of £1.6m. Non Elective activity has
continued at the reduced levels seen at the end of last year. Underlying pay
expenditure has marginally decreased from March, however, the reduction has not
been sufficient to offset the reduction in income.
Agency expenditure reduced to £1.2m in April, which is £0.4m below the agency ceiling
for April.
At the end of April income is £0.4m below plan. Non-elective activity and income was
below plan and was the most significant contributor to the adverse variance. This was
offset by over-performance in PbR excluded items, for which there has been a
corresponding increase in expenditure.
Overall pay expenditure is above plan as reduced activity has not led to similar
reduction in capacity. Non Pay is over plan primarily due to over-performance of high
cost drugs, for which additional income is received.
Total agency expenditure in April was £229k lower than reported in March. The
greatest reduction was in Medical agency which reduced by £218k, a slight increase in
Nursing was offset by a reduction in other agency costs.
