1.2 Welcome, Introductions and Apologies
The Chair welcomed everyone to the committee meeting.
Apologies noted at 1.1.4.
1.3 Declarations of Interest
Karen Bollan explained that she has a possible declaration for item 4.1 which she will explain during the agenda item.
The complete register of interests is published on the NHS Tower Hamlets Clinical Commissioning Group’s (CCG) website: http://www.towerhamletsccg.nhs.uk/about/conflict-of-interest-register.htm
1.3 Minutes of the last meeting
The minutes were agreed as accurate apart from the attendance list which needs to be checked against the terms of reference to make sure attendees are noted in the correct areas.
Action log:-
The Tower of London Practice and QIPP will be discussed on the agenda.
2.0 Finance
At month three the CCG is reporting 557k overspent against the budget. The reason for this is that the allocation we have noted doesn’t cover what we expect to spend. In terms of QIPP, 217K is not showing as this has not come through to the year to date figures. Queries were raised regarding the Direct Enhanced Service figure which was confirmed reflects what we spent last year, along with the GMS underspend which is based on information from NHS England and due to list cleansing. It was confirmed that for future reports the key risk of taking on co-commissioning will be removed.
3.0 Commissioning and Contracting
3.1 Tower of London Practice
Jo-Ann Sheldon reminded the Committee about the paper written by NHS England that she spoke about at last month’s meeting regarding 60 or so patients at the Tower of London Practice who have in the past had a ‘special arrangement’ with City and Hackney that the Wapping Practice have now volunteered to take on instead. Henry Black requested information regarding the costs involved which he will now need to assess. There could be a delay with IT which we must be aware of and be prepared to chase up. Karen Bollan asked how patients will be informed, and Alison Goodlad confirmed that this will be the responsibility of NHS England. Martin Marshall raised the issue again regarding the clinical competency of the GP at the Tower of London Practice and Alison Goodlad confirmed she will flag this with the Medical Director at NHS England.
Action 1: Alison Goodlad to raise competency issues of GP at Tower of London Practice to Medical Director at NHS England.
3.2 Primary Care Strategy
The reference group has now finished along with four locality workshops which has now given us an overview of the work done over the last six months. A slide presentation was handed round which sets out the next steps and to get feedback from the committee. An overview of this is set out below.
We accept that Primary Care is struggling and now have an outline from our workshops that our vision is a commitment to care which will be equitable. The idea of a health and wellbeing club for our patients will mean that they shouldn’t have to re-register if they move in the borough and in this respect we need to think about how we organise the borough to see more alignment of back office functions, build on hubs and work much closer with pharmacies as integrated providers. In this respect more clarification is needed about what sits at borough level, locality level and network level etc. Our main aim is to work towards a population based capitated budget. When these ideas were presented to the GP Care Group the response was very positive. The changes should be in place next year.
Martin Marshall commented that he liked the balance between incremental and ‘the club’. However, there is no social solidarity included in this model as there is no patient involvement. The other problem is the idea of a single point of access, as Martin feels that access is best kept personal, most patients wish to see their own GP. Virginia Patania explained that there is going to be a trial taking place for single point of access. The aim of this is that the single point of access via a telephony system will direct the activity urgently to one place which would be GP lead. Karen Bollan commented that the presentation is good however there is no patient voice included. We need to make the patient voice more explicit so that the public recognise themselves. Martin Marshall commented that although most GPs recognise that the world needs changing they may have questions around resourcing and the GP forward view. Virginia Patania has concerns regarding how we clearly articulate quality and improvement which Simon Hall thinks should be lead through the GP Care Group. An action was made to make the strategy plan more visible.
Virginia Patania explained that the Workstream one initial pilot will take place in the next four weeks. Funding is still a problem and Virginia will try to establish how the various methods of funding we are looking into might ‘trickle down’. We are also looking at funding to create an ‘academy’.
Action 2: Primary Care Strategy Plan to be made more visible
4.0 Quality
4.1 CQC – SOP
This Standard Operating Procedure (SOP) is going to be presented at all the Primary Care Committee’s across London and is to provide assistance with the governance process around CQC visits and where improvement may be needed or to issue breach notices. Jenny Cooke commented that with regard to Tower Hamlets we would probably only use breach notices in the case of non-engagement for improvement. It was agreed by the Committee that we would adopt this SOP. Karen Bollan explained that she may have a conflict of interest here as she is a member of the Royal College of Practitioners who often attend practices experiencing difficulties emerging from CQC visits.
5.0 Governance
5.1 Risks
The Primary Care team risk register was presented at the meeting and it was explained that we have gone through the wording so these are risks rather than statements and also reassessed the risk rating. It was agreed that the risk relating to the APMS contract should be escalated to the BAF risk register and that we also need to look at the grading however, we will look into this first before escalating. There were no further comments made however, it was noted that the BAF risks should be monitored at this Committee on a regular basis.
Action 3: Risk relating to the APMS Contract to be assessed for possible escalation to the BAF
5.2 Governance Review
It was agreed that as there has been an overall governance review in the CCG, we should also look at governance for the Primary Care Committee and focus on items such as who should attend part II of the meeting and the Terms of Reference. Looking at the Terms of Reference is was noted that the role of Committee hasn’t changed however some changed items were noted as follows:-
The Primary Care Programme Board now needs to be changed in alignment with the new structure to Primary Care Planning and Delivery Meeting. The wording needs to be changed with regard to how the Committee is reporting to the finance and audit Committees. There is now a new chair of the committee, Julia Slay and as Mariette Davis is no longer able to be the vice chair due to conflicts of interest, we will require a vice chair which is likely to be Maggie Buckell. Virginia Patania commented that her role in the Committee is incorrect and it was decided that it will now be changed to Urgent Care Representative as a non-voting member. Cate Boyle and Dianne Barham now need to be removed as they are no longer members along with WEL Advisory Board. It is not clear in the Terms of Reference what should be part I, II or III, so it was decided that part I will be public, part II will be sensitive and part III for the conflicted members to leave. It was noted however that we will consider agenda items on an individual basis. With regard to gap analysis we will be working on this process in the Audit Committee which Andy Nuckcheddee will either work on a forward planner or will send us a template for use.

Month 5 Finance Report – 2016/17
Executive Summary
This report provides an update on the Primary Care co-commissioning financial position for the CCG at Month 5 (August 2016) and a forecast for the year. At Month 5 the CCG is reporting a year to date (YTD) over spend of £290k and full year forecast of £476k overspend.
The report notes the mitigating actions being undertaken by the CCG, in consultation with NHS England, to ensure that the final position is closer to balance.
Key Risks and Issues
In financial year 2015/16 Tower Hamlets CCG Tower Hamlets CCG was granted delegated authority for Primary Care Co-commissioning. This meant that NHS England took the lead for budgeting and authorisation of payments, but any shortfall in expenditure was the responsibility of the CCG.
Since April 2016 the CCG has full delegation for Primary Care Co-commissioning. This means that we are responsible for the budgeting and authorisation of primary care payments and meeting any shortfalls in expenditure. The CCG continues to work cooperatively with NHS England, which remains the contract holder for all GP contracts.
1. Insufficient Allocation for financial year 2016/17 The Primary Care allocation for financial year 2016/17 is £42.59m and the proposed budget set by NHS England is £43.148m. This is a shortfall of £558k. The CCG will be responsible for meeting this shortfall from its internal reserves, if it cannot be meet by other means. The CCG is in discussion with NHS England in order to mitigate this shortfall through the potential use of prior year accruals, or other flexibilities.
Enclosure B
2. Authorisation of payments
On behalf of NHS England, Capita is the third party supplier tasked with making GP payments. Capita coordinates the payment process, collating the data streams relating to payments from the different sources (GP practices, NHS England, the “Exeter” system etc.), seeking authorisation to make the payments from the CCG and actually paying the GP practices, using funds from the CCG bank account. The risk is that the CCG is approving payments, but is not actively involved in their administration. The CCG does has the facility to retrospectively claw back any payments that it feels, with hindsight, should not have been made.
3. QIPP NHS England applied a QIPP saving of £216,828 for financial year 2016/17. There were no detailed plans agreed by NHS England relating to how this QIPP saving was to be achieved At present, how the full QIPP will be delivered is yet to be finalised. NHS England has pointed to the national business rates review, which they estimate will result in savings for Tower Hamlets. We will ensure that we continue to keep this Committee appraised on how this develops.
4. 1% Headroom funding The current year allocation of £42.59m includes £425.9k headroom funding. NHS 16/17 business rules require all CCGs to hold the 1% separately, and for it to remain unallocated.

APMS Contract payments The APMS contract position is showing a £280k cost pressure on the full year outturn. The budget was already under pressure, due to a £166k shortfall in the allocation. The additional pressure of £114k is due to the continued growth in the raw practice list size (see table above). The APMS contract value is primarily calculated using the raw practice list size. Changes in the “funding redistribution formula” for financial year 2016/17 approved by NHS England added a further £3.65 to the cost of each patient registered with an APMS practice.
PMS Contract payments The PMS contract position is showing a £97k cost pressure on the full year outturn. The budget was already under pressure, due to a £92k shortfall in the allocation. The additional pressure of £5k is due to the continued growth in the raw practice list size (see table above). The PMS contract value is primarily calculated using the raw practice list size. Changes in the “funding redistribution formula” for financial year 2016/17 approved by NHS England added a further £3.95 to the cost of each patient registered with a PMS practice. GMS Contract payments The GMS contract position is showing a £35k underspend on the full year outturn. Although the Global Sum payment per weighted patient is £80.59 for financial year 2016/17 (last year the average payment per weighted patient was £76.14) this increase has not caused a cost pressure because the Quarter 2 weighted practice list size has fallen (see table above). The GMS contract value is primarily calculated using the weighted practice list size and the reduction in list size resulted in a reduction in the payments made to practices. Quality Outcome Framework (QOF) The QOF position is showing a £25k cost pressure on the full year outturn. The budget was already under pressure, due to a £25k shortfall in the allocation. To date there is no indication of any additional activity which would contribute to additional pressure on funding. Premises Costs Reimbursement The Premises position is showing a £154k cost pressure on the full year outturn. The budget was already under pressure, due to a £208k shortfall in the allocation. Other GP Services The GP Services position is showing a £172k cost pressure on the full year outturn. The budget was already under pressure, due to a £164k shortfall in the allocation. The additional pressure of £8k is due to several GP practices applying for, and being awarded financial support to help with their locum costs, resulting from illness and maternity cover of GPs in the practice.
Summary and Recommendations Although this report shows a projected deficit financial position for the primary care co-commissioning budget at this time, there are a series of mitigations outlined that, at present, we are confident will go some way to meeting this gap. We are in active discussions with NHS England with respect to this, and will update this Committee on progress at its next meeting. The Primary Care Committee are, therefore, asked to note the report, and to comment on the mitigations being pursued, at present, by the CCG.

Tower Hamlets CCG Primary Care Commissioning Committee
Terms of Reference
Introduction
1. Simon Stevens, the Chief Executive of NHS England, announced on 1 May 2014 that NHS England was inviting CCGs to expand their role in primary care commissioning and to submit expressions of interest setting out the CCG’s preference for how it would like to exercise expanded primary medical care commissioning functions. One option available was that NHS England would delegate the exercise of certain specified primary care commissioning functions to a CCG.

a) The primary care co-commissioning functions formally delegated by NHS England to the CCG as a new CCG function from 1st April 2015
b) The duty to improve quality in primary care - already an existing CCG function since April 2013
c) Oversight and assurance of the development of the CCG's overarching Primary Care Strategy - a new function.
15. In performing its role the Committee will exercise its management of the functions in accordance
with the agreement entered into between NHS England and Tower Hamlets CCG, which will sit alongside the delegation and terms of reference.
16. The functions of the Committee are undertaken in the context of a desire to promote increased co-
commissioning to increase quality, efficiency, productivity and value for money and to remove administrative barriers.
17. The role of the Committee shall be to carry out the functions relating to the commissioning of
primary medical services under section 83 of the NHS Act.

• A Part I Committee meeting implies the meeting is open to all members of the Committee (and the public in the case of a public meeting) to attend.
• A Part II Committee meeting implies there is sensitive information to discuss in the
meeting, and therefore not open to some members of the Committee (and the public in the case of a public meeting).
• A Part III Committee meeting would take place when a member(s) of the Committee is
conflicted on a particular issue, and would have to leave the meeting. This will be considered on an individual case by case basis.

Title of report: CQC Inspection Report

Presented by: For further information
Pacifique Kimonyo - Performance and Quality Manager, THCCG [email protected] Tel:(02038163838)
Executive Summary
In October 2014, the CQC introduced a new style of inspection framework. Under the new framework, inspectors now consider 5 key questions:
• Is the service safe? • Is it effective? • Is it caring? • Is it responsive? • Is it well-led?
A 4-point rating scale, is then used used to describe a service’s performance against each of these questions. The ratings are:
• Outstanding • Good • Requires improvement • Inadequate
To date, 18 of the 36 GP surgeries in Tower Hamlets have been inspected by the CQC using the new inspection model. A review of the reports produced by the CQC reveals that the majority of the practices in Tower Hamlets have been rated overall as providing a ‘Good’ service, with St Paul’s Way Medical Centre being the only practice to date rated as outstanding.
Of concern is the service provided by the Harford Health and East One Health Centres. The CQC has rated these practices as requiring improvement. The Performance and Quality Manager is working with the Primary Care Team to support these practices in making the required improvements.
Recommendation
Information Approval To note Decision
The Committee is asked to note the contents of the report, particularly in relation to the Board Assurance Framework.
Key issues Key Findings The table below analysis overall CCG performance of the 18 GP practices inspected under each CQC domain:

• 14/18 practices inspected to date have been rated as ‘good’ under the
safe domain. • 4/18 practices have been rated as ‘requiring improvement’ under the
safe domain. As a CCG, future quality improvement plans need to focus on this domain.
• All 18 of the practices inspected to date have been rated as good with regards to providing a caring service.
• St Paul’s Way practice has been rated as outstanding under the ‘Effective’, ‘Responsive’ and ‘Well-Led’ domains.
Common areas for improvement identified across different practices: Develop an ongoing programme of clinical audit and re-audit to ensure outcomes for patients are maintained and improved. Formulate a written strategy to deliver the practice’s vision. Review how carers are identified and recorded on the clinical system to ensure information, advice and support is made available to them. Carry out Disclosure and Barring service (DBS) checks on all staff Review the Business Continuity Plan Review and update practice policies and procedures Review and update health and safety risk assessments (fire risk assessments, legionella risk assessments etc).
Conflicts of Interest
There are no identified conflicts of interest.

Risk to the Corporate Objectives.
Risk 1.3: Primary Care Commissioning
Comment: Tower Hamlets CCG were awarded delegated co–commissioning for primary medical services from 1st April 2015. This provides us with the greater opportunity to shape the way in which primary care develops to ensure it meets the needs of our local population and is aligned closely with our wider strategies. Delegated commissioning offers an opportunity for CCGs to assume full responsibility for commissioning general practice services. Our intention is to act collaboratively across Waltham Forest, Tower Hamlets and Newham (WEL) and work towards the aims set out in the Strategic Commissioning Framework for Primary Care Transformation in London. Lead Committee Comment: BAF risked reviewed at the January 2016 meeting of the Primary Care Committee

Likelihood x Severity
Inadequate staff resources from NHS England to cover the requirements supporting delegated authority could impact on the ability to deliver the Primary Care strategy and appropriately manage the delegated responsibilities given to the CCG from NHSE.
1- NHSE Core contracting remains at London-wide team. Core NHS E are undertaking a review of this function, stage one is complete and stage two is underway. The review is to ensure sufficient resource released to CCGs / SPGs. NEL STP are working with NHSE to agree a timeframe to transition this function to the STP. 2 - Tower Hamlets Primary Care Team in place to manage additional work from co-commissioning. 3 - WEL Co-Commissioning Group
1 – Primary Care organogram 2- Memorandum of Understanding 3 – THCCG has set up its own team that oversees primary care co-commissioning. The team works closely with NHSE to ensure they undertake their support role. In some instances the team takes on additional tasks as NHSE lacks the capacity to do them.

Risk 3.5: Financial challenges of Primary Care Co-commissioning Comment: The CCG has agreed on full delegation of Primary Care Services from NHSE which is to be funded by allocation cost. Several concerns have been identified:
- Financial reports from NHS England are high level with insufficient detail - Adjustments to allocations; not sure what they are and uncertain if allocations factored in growth
The CCG has formulated its own QIPP plans; where there was a gap the CCG has tried to quantify savings within primary care. The 16/17 Primary Care allocation is deemed to be insufficient to meet the existing gap in funding of £ 0.5m and in addition, a gap in funding ‘Save our Surgeries’ has also been identified.

Risk 3.6: Outsourcing of services to NHS SBS and other service organisations for Primary Care Commissioning
Comment: In their external audit findings report 2015/16, KMPG has advised the CCG to ensure that it has robust understanding of the processes and controls in managing Primary Care Commissioning. Balances relating to primary care commissioning are inherently complex. It is, therefore, advised that the CCG should seek the correct level of assurances over these processes and controls in relation to complexes balances in its accounts and seek the right level of assurances from external outsourcing organisations. Lead Committee Comment: FPQ and Primary Commissioning Committee to seek the correct level assurances- June 2016
Risk 3.6 Risk Description Controls

Failure to ensure that there are robust processes and controls in place to manage Primary Care Co-Commissioning.
1. Outsourcing of services to
NHS SBS and other service organisations to manage flow of invoices.
2. Monthly monitoring at the Primary Care Commissioning Committee.
3. Monthly reporting at the FPQC.
1. A full time dedicated Primary Care Liaison Officer in post. 2. CCG & NHSE have joint constructed a process detailing all the payments flows and which organisation has primary responsibility for each process. 3. There is a vetting process in place between the CCG and Capita in relation to all payments. 4. Capita has been commissioned by NHS England to ensure payments are promptly with the appropriate level.
Any change in personnel within any of the organisations could lead to weakness in the controls that are currently in place.
