Efficiency Challenges in the NHS 2015

The Survey NHS England’s Five Year Forward View has identified a gap between the resources they have available and increasing patients needs which will reach £30 billion a year by 2020/21.

As part of the overall plan to address this funding gap, NHS England have set the challenging target of generating efficiency and demand savings of between 2 - 3% each year for the rest of the decade. Achieving this will mean taking action on prevention initiatives, investing in new care models and, as highlighted in the Dalton Review, seeing a bigger share of the efficiency savings coming from sharing back office services.

In light of this, iGov, in partnership with Serco, have recently conducted an online survey, which examines the potential readiness and barriers organisations across the NHS are experiencing as they strive to meet their new efficiency targets. It considered the ways in which organisations were already creating efficiency savings, and how they look to build upon this in the future.

Survey Methodology and Respondents Profile The survey was conducted online by iGov Survey between the 9th April and the 5th May. The survey respondents represent a broad cross-section of managers, head of department, directors and c-suite executives from organisations across the NHS.

297 individuals from 205 unique organisations participated in the survey. Organisations included those from Acute Trusts, Mental Health and Community Trusts, Ambulance Services, Clinical Commissioning Groups and Commissioning Support Units.

Of those who had an efficiency savings plan in place, 55% of survey respondents stated they anticipated a year-on-year efficiency saving of between 2 and 6%.

Renegotiating contracts was highlighted as the most common factor that will facilitate the successful delivery of efficiency savings over the next five years (69%)

Other factors that participants thought would contribute significantly to efficiency savings included rationalising estates (58%) and outsourcing and sharing services (45%). However, participants also highlighted concerns over service levels and availability as the result the challenge to deliver efficiency savings. Almost a third of participants (32%) were concerned about reduced service levels, whilst a further 28% were concerned about the reduction of service availability.

This was closely followed by over half who believed a perceived ‘lack of relevant skills’ (52%) could be a significant barrier to achieving their efficiency challenge. Other barriers cited included the ‘perceived cost of new ways of working’ (41%) and being ‘locked into legacy contracts’ (37%).

Conclusion

by Dominic Durose, Business Development Manager at Serco

Generating annual efficiency savings of between 2-3% over the next five years is a challenging target for NHS organisations. It's that much more challenging when you consider the importance of protecting front-line health care on the one hand and the pressures of demographic change on the other. With three out of every four NHS organisations already rising to the challenge, this survey shows that progress is being made. Securing immediate savings in the first year, however, is just the first – and, arguably, easiest - step to take. Most respondents agree that it's quite another matter to establish sustainable savings without risking service disruption or impacting adversely on service levels and availability. Respondents have echoed the widely held beliefs that integrated care models represent the way forward, with nearly half believing that outsourcing and sharing services will be important in achieving efficiency targets and delivering guaranteed year-on-year savings. More specifically, the survey shows that renegotiating contracts, rationalising the estate portfolio and the risks posed by new ways of working feature as some of the key considerations when addressing  efficiency challenges. Evidently, it's in these areas where the opportunities and real obstacles to organisational change lie. The success already achieved by Serco ASP’s NHS partnership demonstrates the real value of working with a like-minded partner to deliver high quality shared services and ongoing savings – while also protecting frontline resources – by investing in new service developments and operational efficiencies.
