Mrs Pandit AGREED to review themortality data and feedback to Quality Governance Committee.
The Trust Board RECEIVED and APPROVED the report.
Mrs Pandit
HTB 12/296NET PROMOTERSCORE
The purpose of the report is to appraise the Trust Board of the currentNet Promoter Score, with weekly breakdown, information on nextsteps, issues and risks.
Mrs Watts reported that the Trust is achieving in excess of the numberof patients required to complete the survey, which is no mean feat.Better engagement is required from the clinical teams at ward level;this type of methodology will improve the score.
Mr Sawdon queried the cost of undertaking this scheme. Mrs Wattsresponded that the estimated cost is £40k to fund resources whichinclude on-line impressions survey, iPads for data capture, testing andtelemarketing services. As other methodologies become embedded it ishoped that the telemarketing service will cease.
Mr Sawdon noted that appendix 2 of the report details a number ofother patient experience issues that appear in surveys or feedbackacross the Trust which need to be included in all speciality action plansas appropriate, alongside actions for the CQUIN questions. He queriedat what stage these will be included. Mrs Watts advised that specialitieswill report through the Operational Planning and PerformanceMeetings. She added that this is early days; tracking and maintenancewill come through the Patient Engagement and Experience Group whowill review all exceptions both good and bad.
In response to a question from Mr Stokes, Mrs Watts advised that thequality of response differs by methodology; adding that face to faceappears to attract the most positive response followed by texting. Themost negative response is found to be the on-line survey.
Mr Stokes queried what the impact would be of ceasing the on-linesurvey. Mrs Watts suggested that this would not be the mostrepresentative way of gaining opinion. The Trust should approach thisthrough every methodology to help improve the service. She urgedcaution about drawing early conclusions, adding that AddenbrookesHospital, which has won several national awards for patient care, isfeaturing at the bottom of the survey results.
It was noted that in terms of equality and diversity there is exemptioncriteria applied and concerns regarding the over 18 age restriction setby SHA has been noted. Mrs Watts added that the Trust is taking apragmatic and sensible approach to this.
The Chairman thanked Mrs Watts for a very good piece of work whichhe acknowledged to be very challenging.

The Trust Board ACCEPTED the contents of the report.
HTB 12/298PROVIDERMANAGEMENTREGIME
The SHA wide Provider Management Regime (PMR) has now beenrolled out nationally, which each Trust is required to complete on amonthly basis.
At the time of writing the report the East and Midlands SHA had notpublished the PMR process for 2012/13. In the absence of this theSHA reissued the 2011/12 template for use in April and May 2012. It isunderstood that the final 2012/13 template is likely to change and mayinclude different indicators within the submission.
Mrs Beamish advised that the risk rating for May remains the same asit did for April; the key issue being A&E. The Patient Steering Group willlead on an action plan to deliver a sustainable solution. However, it isacknowledged that sustainability will take in the region of 12 months toachieve. Modern Matrons, Managers and Senior Leaders are spendinga significant amount of time pushing the system.
Mr Sawdon queried criteria number 11 on page 12 of the PMRdocument ‘100% compliance with WHO surgical checklist’ which isreported as red. Mrs Beamish advised this is directly linked to neverevents; that checklists of people, equipment, markings and consent arein place to minimise the potential for never events. Mrs Pandit addedthat the checklists are used as a brief and debrief before and aftersurgery and it is recommended that similar checklists are used forprocedures. The Chief Executive Officer advised that the Trust’scompliance is reported as red because the target is 100% absolute.The Chairman added that the target threshold has no tolerance onnever events. Mrs Pandit reassured the Board that measures are inplace to ensure that the Trust is as good as it can be.
Mrs Nolan clarified that the financial risk rating forecast for the year enddeclared as 3.0 within the PMR, differs from the in month actualposition reported to the Finance and Performance Committee onMonday 25th June 2012, which was 2.9.
Mrs Nolan requested that the word hopefully be removed from thecomments section for criteria 4 ‘Quality: All cancers 62-day wait for first

treatment’ on page 3 of the PMR.
It was noted that a further detailed performance report in relation toA&E will be presented in the private session of the Trust Board today.
Dr Sabapathy queried whether there were any common trends in termsof which days experienced a higher volume of patients and whetherthis is related to delayed discharges. He suggested that the issueneeds to be reviewed internally to identify bottlenecks; however, heconceded that whilst work can be done internally, external influenceswill have a significant impact i.e. lack of availability of beds in thecommunity. Ms Tubb advised that Mrs Beamish has undertakenanalytical work in relation to when the A&E target is not being met andsuggested that further expansion of this discussion would be useful inthe private session of the Trust Board today.
The Chairman noted that there is a variable pattern of when patientsare discharged. Common issues within the local health economy factorinto the delayed discharge of patients i.e. aging population,demographics, frail and poorly patients that do not requirehospitalisation occupying hospital beds. He suggested that furtherdiscussion continue in the private session of the Trust Board.
The Chairman noted his gratitude to all Executive colleagues but to MrsBeamish in particular for the work she is undertaking. He added thatthe Trust Board offer support and encouragement to Executivecolleagues to continue with this work, which must demonstrate that thetrajectory is going in the right direction from June onwards.

HTB 12/299FINANCE REPORT
The purpose of the report is to update the Trust Board as to thefinancial position of the Trust for the first two months of the 2012/13financial year and the forecast year end position.
The Chairman advised that he did not wish to stifle discussion;however, there will be significant and lengthy discussions held on theprivate session of the Trust Board today due to the sensitivity of thisitem. He added that discussions will feature around the Board’sapproach to Foundation Trust status.
Mrs Nolan advised that the paper presented today is an extract of thepaper presented to the Finance and Performance Committee onMonday 25th June 2012. The month 2 position is a net expendituredeficit position of £2.7m, which is in line with plan. The forecast surplusremains at £2.5m

Within theimplications section it is noted that financial penalties may be appliedby Primary Care Trust’s if 2012/13 CQUIN and Quality Scheduletargets and standards are not achieved. The worst case scenario is2% of the 2012/13 contract value for Quality Schedule targets andstandards and 1.5% of the contract value for not achieving the CQUINtargets. Mrs Beamish noted that it should be amended to 2% of thecontract value for not achieving the CQUIN targets.
It is noted that on pages 6 & 7 of the report there are a significantnumber of areas being delivered. A&E and delayed transfers of careremain the main challenges. The Trust is continuing to workcollaboratively with partners in the local health economy.
Dr Sabapathy drew the Board’s attention to page 10 of the report andthe comment that there were (5 reported cases of MRSA in April and 6in May); however, this contradicted the earlier statement that therewere cumulatively to May 2012 0 MRSA infections.

HTB 12/302FINANCE ANDPERFORMANCECOMMITTEEMEETING REPORT– 23rd APRIL 2012
The purpose of the report is to advise the Trust Board of the Financeand Performance Committee meeting held on 23rd April 2012.
The Trust Board ACCEPTED the contents of the report.
HTB 12/303PATIENT ANDSTAFF STORY
Under the Trust Board’s Patient Story Programme, the Trust is askedto consider the experience of a urology patient at University Hospitalduring February 2012 under the care of Mr Tony Blacker, ConsultantUrologist, Mr Ross Palmer, Modern Matron and staff on Ward 33.
Mrs Watts advised that this was a demonstration of how a patient hadtaken control of their own care. She added that it represents howpatients make informed choices of where they want to have treatmentby undertaking research of procedures, consultants, league tables andcredibility of Trust’s.
Mrs Watts progressed to reading a passage of the patient’s letter to theBoard “Me, I’m frightened of everything in hospitals. But where otherhospitals have promised to help me but invariably failed to deliver,University Hospitals Coventry delivered on everything. Several daysbefore I was admitted for surgery, I was allowed to meet myanaesthetist, my ward manager and the modern matron supervisingthat group of wards. In negotiating with them, I had the sense that theremust be some very good and appropriate management at UniversityHospital Coventry. At every stage, I felt that, subject of course tonecessary safety considerations, they put the patient first and not theirprocedures first. I didn’t feel, as I so often have felt with hospitals, that Iwas dealing with an inflexible bureaucracy. I felt I was being listened to,and procedures were being modified to help me. But I also really liked it– thank you all of you at Coventry – that you were totally straight whereyou disagreed with me. Because I knew you were listening to me, I wasable to listen to you.”
Mr Robinson acknowledged that this was a very passionate andpowerful statement and demonstrates a level of commitment from staffwhich should be commended.
Dr Sabapathy agreed that this was an excellent example of goodpractice; adding that the challenge is sharing this with other areaswithin the Trust.
The Chairman proceeded to read a further passage of the letter “IfTony Blacker, and the anaesthetist, modern matron, ward manager,nurses, radiographers, secretaries, receptionists and urology managerwhom I met at University Hospital Coventry are the future for the NHS,it is, for all its current difficulties, a very bright future.” He added thatthis reflects the personal service offered by staff which merits greatcredit to the people who work in the Trust.
Mrs Coy queried how this good practice will be shared throughout the

Prepared for Trust Board July 2012
1 of 19
CONTENTS & KEY POINTS
This quarterly report is based on the latest information available to Quality & Patient Safety (formerly Governance Unit). As there is a time lag with receiving some information (such as clinical adverse events, clinical activity and mortality data), the reporting periods within the report differ between sections. Please refer to the section headings for the data period used within each dashboard report. Where information is presented as quarterly trends the data is capped at the last full quarter so that the analysis is not skewed by missing or incomplete data. For the purposes of this report, quarters are shown according to calendar year.
1.0 PATIENT SAFETY REPORT Prepared by: Yvonne Gatley – Associate Director of Governance Page 5
Quarterly report on Clinical Adverse Events January 2012 – March 2012 • Incident reporting continues to rise month on month, indicating a continuing “open” culture regarding clinical risk management. This equates to approximately 7%
of total in-patient activity (10% being the figure quoted by patient safety expert Charles Vincent as the approximate proportion of inpatient episodes leading to harmful events).
• In our peer group of acute teaching hospitals the most recent National Patient Safety Agency (NPSA) report shows UHCW as being 6th out of 27 Trusts in terms of our reporting rate which the NPSA says indicates an open safety culture that supports improvement. The same report shows that the vast majority of reports are “no harm” incidents and our rate of severe harm and death incidents for the period April – September 2011 is 0.20% compared with our peer average of 0.15%
• Top 5 CAEs: There has been no change in the top 5 reported CAEs since the last quarter.
• Slips, Trips and Falls remains the most frequently occurring patient safety incident. As previously reported, many measures have been implemented to minimise the risk to patients. If serious harm occurs to a patient as a result of a fall, the incident is treated as a serious incident requiring investigation (SIRI) and a root cause analysis is undertaken
• Pressure ulcer reporting continues and is essential for informing the Trust’s target of no avoidable pressure ulcers. Root cause analysis is conducted on all grade 3 or 4 pressure ulcers to ensure any trends are identified and fed back into practice. 206/342 of the reports were for patients admitted with pressure ulcers.
• Medication errors mostly related to administration or supply of a medicine (114), 40 reports were relating to prescription and 32 reports were relating to preparation of medicines. The rest were in other categories of medication incident. Medication incidents continue to be targeted for action as part of the Trust’s Patient Safety First strategy.
• Failure to follow guidelines/procedure/policy The majority of these were reported by Sterile Services regarding non-compliance with theatre checking/documenting of instrument trays. This is an operational management issue and is being dealt with by the management teams.
• Postponed or cancelled surgery The majority of these were reported by Cardiothoracic Surgery and relate mostly to lack of ITU beds.
2.0 MORTALITY REPORT Prepared by: Paul Martin – Director of Governance Page 7
3.0 QUALITY & EFFECTIVENESS REPORT Prepared by: Victoria Brownsword – Quality & Effectiveness Co-ordinator Page 10

3.0 QUALITY & EFFECTIVENESS REPORT Prepared by: Victoria Brownsword – Quality & Effectiveness Co-ordinator Page 9
Clinical Audit: 1 January 2012 – 31 March 2012
• Refer to the Trust Board Report for specific risks highlighted. • The Quality & Effectiveness Facilitators are currently working with audit leads to finalise 2011/12 audits of which only approximately 14% have not yet reached
report writing stage. This percentage includes national audits which we have submitted data to and a national report has not yet been published. • A proposal for a revised process for the Trust wide documentation and consent audit was approved at the March Patient Safety Committee. Specialties will be risk
assessed on a risk versus benefit matrix to specify how frequent an audit should take place. The revisions aim to engage clinical staff and focus on driving improvements. The Quality & Effectiveness Facilitators are currently in the process of finalising the data collection tools and are communicating with specialties to identify data collectors for the audit.
• The Clinical Audit and Effectiveness Forward Programme for 2012/13 was approved at the March Patient Safety Committee. The programme contains two plans – mandatory and local. The mandatory plan is rolling, to reflect the variety of deadlines imposed by National bodies. The team of Quality and Effectiveness Facilitators will be working with audit leads to profile their programme of audit work across the financial year.
Clinical Guidelines
• With the introduction of the new Procedure for the Development and Management of Clinical Guidelines the focus for 2012 is to improve the quality of clinical guidelines stored on elibrary. Authors are offered assistance from CEBIS Specialist/Subject Librarians with literature searching. There is also a more detailed structure to help with the development of clinical guidelines.
• Guidance is reviewed against set criteria to decide if it is a clinical guideline or a clinical operating procedure. Definitions are:- • COP- A set of instructions that describe the method for carrying out tasks or activities to ensure efficiency, consistency and safety. • Clinical guidelines are systematically developed statements designed to help practitioners and patients decide on appropriate healthcare for specific
clinical conditions and/or circumstances • With the introduction of the new Document management system this is the time to review your guidance ensuring only accurate up to date information is saved on
elibrary ready to be transferred to the new system.
4.0 COMPLAINTS REPORT Prepared by: Sharon Wyman - Complaints Manager Page 12
Quarterly report on Complaints received: Jan 2012 – Mar 2012
• For the quarter Jan 2012 – Mar 2012 we experienced a decrease in the number of complaints against the previous quarter. • 10% of complaints did not receive a formal response within our internal standard of 25 working days - due to complexity or lack of a timely response on 16 cases. • Details on those requiring further local resolution and complaints referred to PHSO.
5.0 IMPRESSIONS REPORT Prepared by: Julia Flay - PPI Facilitator Page 15
• Quarter April 2012 – 31 June 2012 for all respondents • Due to the management restructure, Impressions data for the period April – June 2012 won’t be available until mid July. Please contact Julia Flay, Patient
Involvement Facilitator, on extension 25186 should your require further details.

6.0 NON-CLINICAL RISK REPORT Prepared by: Dipak Chauhan - Head of Safety and Non Clinical Risk Page 16 • This report summarises incident data trends and patterns for the quarter 1 January 2012 – 31 March 2012 • The report is primarily for information and highlights some key themes and issues in regard to Non Clinical Risk management (Occupational Safety, and Health,
Security and Fire)
7.0 LEGAL CLAIMS REPORT Prepared by: Julie Midgley – Trust Solicitor Page 19 Quarterly report on Claims received: 1 January 2012 – 31 March 2012 • The Trust currently has 349 cases. The NHSLA’s contingent financial provision in respect of Clinical Negligence claims is currently £32 million. • In the last 12 months the Legal Department has received 112 new claims with 29 being received in the period of January to March 2012. • The 3 highest risk specialties are Obstetrics, Accident and Emergency and Orthopaedics. • The level of damages paid during the period January to March 2012 was £ 2,538,965 (to include Periodical Payments to patient for life).

Dr Foster RTMl is a clinical benchmarking tool which allows UHCW to monitor mortality and highlight potential areas of variation or concern when clinical outcomes differ from the nationalpicture. Alerts are based on primary diagnosis and primary procedure in the first episode of care during a patient's admission. If an alert occurs, the relevant MD/CD is informed andinvestigates in order to ensure that there are no areas of concern in relation to patient care and this process is monitored by the Mortality Review Group (MRG)

Next steps/actions
We have increased the volume of text message responses we collect by implementingautomated text messaging. This is reducing the cost of asking the NPS question withinthe SHA requirements.
We will be completing work with our Impressions software supplier and with appropriatestaff at UHCW to reflect the new organisational structure and move from the oldDivisions to the new Speciality Groups for data collection and reporting purposes. It isanticipated that this will be completed during July.
By the end of June, we had all the requirements for CQUIN indicators 3a, 3b and 3c fullyin place.
Implementation team continues to meet fortnightly to plan and progress work towardsmeeting the requirements, recently announced nationally, to include A&E by April 2013and towards SHA’s declared, though not yet detailed, requirement for coverage of 10%of all footfall from April 2013.
Work has progressed towards action plans for 10 point increase in score (must score+54.44 or above in March 2013), including:
Executive Management Group briefed on our Net Promoter Score and NationalPatient Survey results at a meeting in June. This will included initial thoughtsabout action planning for both the NPS and Patient Survey results (including the5 CQUIN questions) improvements and inclusion of work to fill the gaps identifiedin our gap analysis against the recently published NICE patient experiencestandards. The proposals for the action planning approach was approved.
Action planning template approved by Patient Engagement & Experience Group. Meeting with specialties us to help them understand the patient experience
evidence available to them (Impressions returns, patient’s verbatim comments,complaints, surveys etc.) and to commence their action plans for improvement.
Specialty Group NPS (RAG rated) and Complaints numbers and type (RAGrated) included in Specialty Group Performance management review meetings.
Patient experience team members attending any specialty or group meetings tohelp support patient experience improvement action planning.
NPS to be included in Specialty/ Specialty Group KPIs to embed it in day to dayperformance management.
Verbatim comments/reasons for giving an NPS are available to front-line teamsthrough Impressions and these are being used with front-line staff to driveimprovements
Issues/risks
Ongoing costs – being minimised by actions previously described to reduce use oftelephony service1.
Cost and risks of inclusion of A&E – paper prepared for sharing with SHA to help informthem of the issues and influence national implementation.
Cost of implementing 10% response rate across all footfall, especially if CQUIN valueremains the same or is less in real terms – will look to minimise costs.
Awaiting results of SHA survey to facilitate analysis of effects of different datacollection/interview methods on results and may well have to report on numbers ofresponses by collection methodology – at UHCW this requires a further development tothe Impressions software, as this was not in the original SHA guidance2.
Possible application of weighting factors going forward (SHA indicate that might be apossibility depending on initial NPS results and outcome of collection method survey)and effect on UHCW’s score going forward – we assume SHA will re-baselineorganisations’ scores.
Conclusion
The Trust Board is asked to approve the report and note:
the UHCW current score of +44.2 the achievement of a response rate above the required 10% that UHCW is already in a strong position to achieve the CQUIN indicators the risks and issues and especially the resource consequences of ongoing
maintenance and extension into A&E or 10% of all footfall the action planning actions and proposals the need to acknowledge that UHCW needs to improve our NPS and reputation
for delivering high quality across all specialties as there is wide variation acrossservices
the need now for frontline staff to become more engaged in the process andusing the action planning tool and NICE standards going forwards and to knowtheir score and how patients perceive their service
The Board is asked to recognise and continue to support the focus of the Engagementteam on the NPS as the primary and overarching patient experience performanceframework for 2012/13.
1Just for in-patient coverage, as costs will necessarily rise as we move towards 10% of all footfall e.g. use
of telephone interviews for A&E patients

12.7.12. 2
All Matrons have been asked by the Chief Nursing Officer to undertake an infection controlnursing association (ICNA) audit within their areas and were given a two week period for this tooccur. The average mark for this quarter for ICNA environmental audits was 78%. The previousquarter’s score was 76%. The pass mark nationally for the ICNA environmental audit is 85 %
2.3 E Coli bacteraemia
Data collection for E coli bacteraemia began on 1st June 2011 in line with DH mandatoryrequirements. There were 87 bacteraemias reported during the first quarter. E Coli is theorganism that is most commonly the cause of bacteraemia. There is no target attached to thiselement yet but we are within confidence limits when set against other Trusts in the WestMidlands.

2.5 Meticillin Sensitive Staphylococcus Aureus (MSSA) bacteraemias
The Trust has a robust programme for RCAs following MSSA bacteraemia. The Trust had 17 forthis quarter. Themes pulled from the RCAs are:
Probable Source - RCA outcome
Peripheral Cannula, 6
Tunnelled line, 3
Dialysis line, 1
Skin/soft tissue, 6Pneumonia, 1
Contaminant, 3
other, 3
Sepsis not
recognised initially, 4
Not known, 2
2.6 Reporting of data
The Trust is fully compliant with set targets with all data reporting and targets.
12.7.12. 3
3. Outbreaks/incidents of Infection
3.1 MSSA Outbreak on Neonatal Unit
There have been no further cases of the outbreak strain but the Unit continues to actively screen.
3.2 Pertussis
There were two cases of pertussis during this quarter, one involved a senior member of staff whoreturned from holiday with what was self diagnosed as a chest infection which did not respond totreatment. Once blood serum confirmed pertussis a look back exercise was undertaken and nofurther cases were identified. All patients concerned were spoken to and reassured. The HealthProtection Agency (HPA) were involved.
3.3 Other incidents that required contact tracing and action
Pertussis ( whooping cough) 2 Meningitis 1
MRAB 1 TB 6
Scabies 1 Para influenza 1
Chicken Pox 3 Decontamination issues 1
Influenza 3 Shingles 1
3.4 Para influenza 3
Three babies on the Special Care Baby Unit were reported as having Para influenza 3. As thebabies had initially been together but moved to different areas during the incubation period(between 2-8 days) and we were still within the incubation period which starts when the lastpatient is isolated, this meant potentially all babies had the potential to develop Para influenza.3
The unit was full and there was no capacity so the decision was taken to declare the Unit closeduntil we could reasonably assess whether we thought there had been further spread. It is notunusual for hospitals within the network to be full and ask other hospitals to take high riskpatients. This process was used to inform other areas. We ensured that we had capacity tostabilise and keep safe any babies who became acutely unwell so the service remained safe. Thedifficult decision to stop visiting to all but parents was taken as HPA had reported increased rateswithin the community and young children are often vectors in this transmission.
The Unit was able to take new patients into HDU and part of the SCBU three days into theincident and was fully open as normal eleven days since the onset. This was due to high Infectioncontrol standards by the staff as there were no further cases of spread. This was initially reportedas highly unusual in the neonatal setting and papers were suggesting a minimum closure of 4-6weeks and in one case 3 months. However subsequent discussion with Birmingham Children’sHospital reveals that they have also seen incidents of Para influenza 3.
4. Water Quality - Legionella (Criterion 5)
4.1 Legionella at University Hospital
A number of positive samples were detected in the FM building. Meetings have been held and aseries of remedial works undertaken. The contamination was at a low level and no cases haveoccurred. Further water samples are about to be repeated and if negative the incident will beclosed.
4.2 Legionella at Rugby
The measures to control the contamination on the Rugby site are near completion. There havebeen no cases of hospital acquired legionella to date.
12.7.12. 4
4.3 Legionella at Stratford
The Trust manages a satellite renal unit at this site. A meeting was held on the 5th
January and itwould appear that all the corrective measures have been taken. Results of repeat testing areawaited. The HSE inspector is expecting a report from each Chief Executive who has patients onthis site detailing any lessons learnt.
To date there have been no cases of human legionella associated with the water system. TheHSE is fully involved with the situation with one of their senior inspectors regularly attendingmeetings.
4.4 Pseudomonas and water safety management group.
A group is being developed in response to the DH guidance around pseudomonas following theneonatal deaths in Belfast. This group will undertake a gap analysis and risk assessments onhigh risk units and will then monitor safe practice to ensure that we are correctly managingpseudomonas in line with the guidance. Initial work has identified good practice in line with thisguidance but we need to develop audit pathways and a line of accountability. This will be WaterSafety Group to report to the Water Management Group and then to the Infection Prevention andControl Committee and upward to Trust Board.
5. Audit programme
The following audits have been carried out in the quarter using the Infection Control NursesAssociation (INCA) Analysis:
Audits 2011 2012
MRSA compliance audit 79% 83%
Clostridium difficile compliance audit 95% 91%
Hand hygiene audit 88% 87%
Sharps Audit 87% Q2
Environmental ICNA 76% 78%
Clostridium difficile compliance against the quick action guide remains consistently high reflectingthe high level of recognition and prompt action to isolate amongst staff. The drop in compliancereflects the adoption of PCR testing and equivocal results which are causing some confusion assome patients are symptomatic so not being placed on treatment. The audit form has beenaltered to take this into consideration. We await microbiology’s decision as to whether this testremains part of our testing armoury.
6. Training (Criterion 9)
The Infection Prevention and Control (IPC) Team have undertaken training of ISS staff toengender an understanding of organisms and the impact of the spread of these on patients. TheIPC team wanted ISS staff to understand the importance of their role in limiting the spread oforganisms and the importance of cleaning, particularly in the healthcare environment whenpatients are vulnerable. The IPC Team will be providing some evening sessions to capture latestaff and will also provide a similar service to portering staff to explain the importance of goodhand hygiene.
Collaboration with a local schools media studies group has been highly successful. CardinalNewman School media studies group have developed a hand hygiene video and they haveproduced a very watchable video with their own backing track. This will be put onto the intranetsite and will be played for visitors on the screens. This is also being used by the team as ateaching aid and it has proved to be very popular. The group are very keen and are now lookingat a series of posters or photographs to assist us in getting the hand hygiene message across.
12.7.12. 5
B. CLEANING REPORT
1. Work to Date
During this quarter ISS conducted a total of 283 audits, of these 99% were verified by ModernMatrons. The audits include all aspects of the ward areas including patient areas, day rooms andoffices. All aspects of cleanliness are monitored and reported. The average score for thequarter was 98.1%, being broadly consistent to last quarter’s average of 97.79%. The areasidentified as “very high risk” continue to be audited on a weekly basis and the results show anaverage of 98.42% compared with previous quarter’s average of 98.28%.
All audit reports are forwarded to the Modern Matrons and identify any rectifications required.These are followed through by the Healthcare Cleaning Management Team who ensure thatappropriate action is taken in a timely manner.
In the period April to June 2012, ISS have carried out a total of 3,194 terminal cleans that can bebroken down as follows:
Single Rooms for Pre-Fogging – 52 Terminal Cleans for 4 -4 6 Bed Bays – 131 Terminal Cleans for Single Rooms – 3011
ISS have requested the Trust jointly review and agree the terminology for terminal cleans andwhether it is appropriate to request a terminal clean in all instances.
2. Monitoring
The Trust continues to rely solely on the ICNA audits to monitor the standards delivered by ISS.This tool is not compliant with National Standards of Cleanliness. ISS are more than happy to usethis audit to enhance the monitoring of cleanliness, however, the joint Maximiser audits shouldalso be formally recognised, as they are compliant with National Standards.
ISS recognise that there has been an increase in C-Diff and we will continue to work with theTrust to reduce cases. As part of this work ISS have agreed to steam clean all nurses equipmentto ensure it is cleaned to an acceptable standard. This equipment will be handed back to theTrust on completion of works.
3. People and Equipment
ISS have purchased new digital radios to further enhance communications.
We have also provided additional helpdesk machines to cleaning management team to assistwith the monitoring of tasks logged through the helpdesk and provide a faster response torequests for ad hoc tasks.
The initial delivery of Infection Control training has gone well and we look forward to working inpartnership with the Infection Control and Prevention Team to ensure all healthcare cleaningoperatives are fully compliant with Trust policy and guidelines.
4. Working in Partnership
ISS continue to work very closely with the Trust’s Chief Nursing Officer and his direct reports.This ever developing relationship and the appreciation of the need to maintain effective lines ofcommunication ensures that we can respond to the needs of the Trust and provide support inareas as required to assist the Trust to meet its objectives and targets. We very much lookforward to the continuation of this relationship and would confirm the commitment of ISS and themanagement team in actively supporting the Trust to achieve its long term goals.
12.7.12. 6
With regards cleaning of Patientline equipment, and following submission of options for cleaning,the Trust have requested that ISS clean this equipment on a once a week basis only. This servicewill sit outside of the PMS.

PURPOSE OF THE REPORT / PRESENTATION:The SHA wide Provider Management Regime (PMR) has now been rolled out which each Trust is required tocomplete on a monthly basis.
The PMR was introduced in shadow form for East Midlands and West Midlands Trusts during the periodJanuary to February 2012. The return from Trusts for March 2012 was reported at the SHA’s public boardmeeting in May 2012. The PMR process has been fully operational from April 2012 onwards. This regime wasintroduced to support Trusts, by working with the SHA in a “Monitor like” way, to help prepare Trusts for theirDH and Monitor Foundation Trust assessment and subsequent monitoring post authorisation under the MonitorCompliance Framework.
The regime provides an opportunity for providers to earn autonomy from the SHA. Providers who candemonstrate consistent performance of governance, finance, quality and contract management will make lessfrequent PMR returns and meet with the SHA less often than those Trusts that face issues. There is also aclear escalation process for Trusts with persistently poor ratings or other issues. The detailed processes andrules by which a Trust can gain autonomy or might face escalation are outlined within separate SHA guidance.
The first return of the Provider Management Regime templates to the SHA was on the last working day ofJanuary (31 January 2012); and is required on the last working date of every month thereafter. Latesubmissions are automatically given a red governance risk rating. The expectation is that the monthly templatereturns are signed off by the Trust Board.
At the time of writing this report the East and Midlands SHA have not published the PMR process for 2012/13.In the absence of this the SHA have reissued the 2011/12 template so that it can be used for April, May andJune 2012. It is understood that the final 2012/13 template is likely to change and will include differentindicators in the Governance Risk Rating Section of the submission.

ACTIONS:
In response to the current front door 95% performance UHCW
has developed two robust action plans: one focusing on frontdoor improvements and the other discharge planning. These
plans focus on the following areas:
• Capacity and control functions• Required developments aimed at supporting and improving
current processes• Speeding up of assessment
• Improved discharge planning
These are monitored and performance managed through a seriesof project groups which feed through to the newly established
patient flow steering group.
In addition Newton have been appointed to review processes in
ED with the view to replicating the success they had in driving up
performance in Gloucester by driving out the waits in thepathway
Daily capacity planning has been introduced with all wardsrequired to identify their daily discharges to meet their expectedadmissions (based on 6 weeks rolling activity data)
The aim of this action plan is to support improved performanceagainst the 95% target in a sustainable fashion, in readiness for winter pressures.
The action plan was agreed by the Strategic Health Authority and the PCT In May 2012

The position reported for May at the end of June was Amber.
This was based on fast-track data and therefore a best
prediction. Following validation of activity for May this was
reported as 84.9%. However, this target is performance
managed on a quarterly basis because it is recognised activity isattributed to months as patients progress along their care
pathway. In relation to May, two further patients have been
identified in July corresponding to May activity. This now means
UHCW has delivered the required performance for May. It is
expected UHCW will achieve the target for June and Quarter 1

Area Details
1 C.Diff Performance against contract with main commissioner
2 MRSA
MRSA objective: those trusts which are not in the best performing quartile for MRSA should deliver performance that is at least in line with theMRSA objective target figures calculated for them by DH. The SHA expects those NHS trusts without a centrally calculated MRSA objective toagree an MRSA target for 2011/12 that at least maintains existing performance.
Where a trust has an annual MRSA objective of six cases or fewer and has reported six cases or fewer in the year to date, the MRSAobjective will not apply for the purposes of the SHA's Provider Management Regime
If a trust with an annual objective of six cases or fewer declares a risk of exceeding the de minimis level and its annual MRSA objective in-year, but has not yet done so, it will be required to [provide, and then] report monthly against, an MRSA action plan until the risk has beensatisfactorily addressed.
3Cancer:31 day wait
31-day wait: measured from cancer treatment period start date to treatment start date. Failure against any threshold represents a failureagainst the overall target. The target will not apply to trusts having five cases or less in a quarter.
4Cancer:62 day wait
62-day wait: measured from day of receipt of referral to treatment start date. This includes referrals from screening service and otherconsultants, including consultant upgrades. Failure against either threshold represents a failure against the overall target. The target will notapply to trusts having five cases or less in a quarter.
For patients referred from one provider to another, breaches of this target are automatically shared and treated on a 50:50 basis. Thesebreaches may be reallocated in full back to the referring organisation(s) provided there is written agreement to do so between the relevantproviders (signed by both Chief Executives) in place at the time the trust makes its monthly declaration to the SHA.
RTTWhile performance is measured on an aggregate basis, NHS trusts are required to meet the threshold on a monthly basis – consequentlyfailure in any month represents failure for the quarter and should be reported via the exception reporting process.
6 Cancer Measured from decision to treat to first definitive treatment. The target will not apply to trusts having five cases or fewer in a quarter.
7 CancerMeasured from day of receipt of referral – existing standard (includes referrals from general dental practitioners and any primary careprofessional). Failure against either threshold represents a failure against the overall target. The target will not apply to trusts having fivecases or fewer in a quarter.Specific guidance and documentation concerning cancer waiting targets can be found at:http://nww.connectingforhealth.nhs.uk/nhais/cancerwaiting/documentation

Date last seen by care coordinatorwill be used as a proxy for formal Care Programme Approach review during 2011/12.Denominator:The total number of adults who have received secondary mental health services and who were on the Care Programme Approach at anypoint during the reporting period.For full details of the changes to the Care Programme Approach process, please see the implementation guidance, Refocusing the CareProgramme Approach on the Department of Health’s website.All patients discharged to their place of residence, care home, residential accommodation, or to non-psychiatric care must be followed upwithin seven days of discharge. Where a patient has been transferred to prison, contact should be made via the prison in-reach team.Exemptions from both the numerator and the denominator of the indicator include:
• patients who die within seven days of discharge;• where legal precedence has forced the removal of a patient from the country; or• patients discharged to another NHS psychiatric inpatient ward.
11 Mental Health: Numerator:The number of non-acute patients (aged 18 and over) whose transfer of care was delayed averaged over the quarter.
DTOC Denominator:Number of non-acute patients (aged 18 and over) admitted to the trust, summed across the quarter. Delayed transfers of care attributable tosocial care are excluded.
12 Mental This indicator applies only to admissions to the NHS trust’s mental health psychiatric inpatient care. The following cases can be excluded:
Health: • admissions to psychiatric intensive care units;I/P and • internal transfers of service users between wards in a trust and transfers from other trusts;CRHT • patients recalled on Community Treatment Orders; or
• patients on leave under Section 17 of the Mental Health Act 1983.An admission has been gate-kept by a crisis resolution team if they have assessed the service user before admission and if they wereinvolved in the decision-making process, which resulted in admission.For full details of the features of gate-keeping, please see Guidance Statement on Fidelity and Best Practice for Crisis Services on theDepartment of Health’s website.As set out in Guidance Statement on Fidelity and Best Practice for Crisis Services the crisis resolution home treatment team should:
a) provide a mobile 24 hour, seven day a week response to requests for assessments;b) be actively involved in all requests for admission: for the avoidance of doubt, ‘actively involved’ requires face to face contact unless it can be
demonstrated that face-to-face contact was not appropriate or possible. For each case where face-to-face contact is deemed inappropriate,a declaration that the face-to-face contact was not the most appropriate action from a clinical perspective will be required;
c) be notified of all pending Mental Health Act assessments;d) be assessing all these cases before admission happens; and
The SHA will not utilise a general rounding principle when considering compliance with these targets and standards, e.g. a performance of 94.5% will be considered as failing to
achieve a 95% target. However, exceptional cases may be considered on an individual basis, taking into account issues such as low activity or thresholds that have little or no
tolerance against the target, e.g. those set between 99-100%.

RECOMMENDATION / DECISION REQUIRED:
Trust Board are asked to endorse the following key actions being undertaken by management to addressthe exceptions highlighted in Section 3 of the report:
o C-diff: The Trust is delivering a range of actions including initiating deep clean program, increasedinspections and the development and launch of 100 days free campaign
o A&E: Maximum waiting time of four hours from arrival to admission/transfer/discharge: UHCW hasdeveloped two robust action plans: one focusing on front door improvements and the otherdischarge planning
o Delayed transfers of care: The Trust has an internal Discharge Action Plan and there are alsospecific relevant actions in the Arden Cluster work plan
Trust Board are asked to endorse actions being undertaken by management to address the challengingtargets highlighted in Section 4 of the report
IMPLICATIONS:
Financial: Financial penalties may be applied by PCTs if 2012/13 CQUIN and QualitySchedule targets and standards are not achieved. The worst case scenario is2% of the 2012/13 contract value for Quality Schedule targets and standardsand 2.5% of 2012/13 out-turn for not achieving the CQUIN targets.
HR / Equality & Diversity: None identified
Governance: Performance against the Monitor Compliance Framework rating and PMRsubmission will impact on the trusts ability to move forward with its FoundationTrust application.
Performance against the DH Performance Framework rating has significantconsequences for the Trust Board, if UHCW is rated as ‘Underperforming’ forthree consecutive quarters.

PERFORMANCE REPORT FOR JUNE 2012
1. EXECUTIVE SUMMARY OF PERFORMANCE
This Executive version of the 2012/13 Performance Report is presented toTrust Board on a monthly basis and a more detailed version of the report ispresented to the Finance & Performance (F&P) Committee (which is a sub-committee of the Trust Board) on a monthly basis. This Executive version ofthe Performance Report highlights performance against the two Nationalperformance frameworks and the regional performance framework managedby the East and Midlands Strategic Health Authority:
2012/13 Monitor Compliance Framework (national) 2012/13 Department of Health NHS Performance Framework (national) 2012/13 Provider Management Regime (regional)
The Performance Report highlights targets in exception against requiredthresholds (section 3) and targets which will pose the University Hospitals ofCoventry and Warwickshire a challenge to deliver in 2012/13 (section 4).
The more detailed version of the report, to the F&P Sub Committee includesappendices on the above frameworks and an appendix which showsperformance against contract targets, including progress on CQUIN schemes.
1.1. Monitor Compliance Framework Rating
Table 1 shows monitoring by UHCW for the period 1 April to 30 June 2012against the Monitor Compliance Framework Indicators. The Table belowprovides the Trust’s assessment for the Monitor Compliance Frameworkrating, based on the current level of performance.

1.2. Department of Health NHS Performance Framework Rating
The NHS Performance Framework Implementation Guidance sets out theDepartment of Health’s (DH) approach to supporting Strategic HealthAuthorities (SHAs) and Primary Care Trusts (PCTs) to identify and tacklepoor performance of NHS providers (non Foundation Trusts).
Organisations will be measured against a series of indicators, categorisedunder the two key domains below:
Finance Quality of Services
The lowest score across these domains will determine the overallorganisations performance category, which is based on a three pointscale of: Performing, Performance under Review or Underperforming, andthe subsequent level of intervention and escalation.
Under the escalation process organisations with a rating ofUnderperforming for three consecutive quarters could be deemed aschallenged.
Performance of Acute Trusts is communicated in the DH publication TheQuarter.
Table 3 below provides the Trust’s assessment for the NHS PerformanceFramework quality of services rating, based on the current level ofperformance.
Table 3
PERIOD April 2012 May 2012 June 2012QUARTER

RATING Performing PerformingPerformanceUnder Review
PerformanceUnder Review
The DH applies a score of 3 if a Trust achieves the “Performing” thresholdspecified for each target, a score of 2 if a Trust fails against the “Performing”threshold but achieves the “Underperforming” threshold and 0 for failing atarget. The ratings above are based on a weighted average of these scoresagainst the thresholds in Table 4 below (a high score is good).

In response to the current front door 95% performanceUHCW has developed two robust action plans: onefocusing on front door improvements and the otherdischarge planning. These plans focus on the followingareas:
Capacity and control functions Required developments aimed at supporting and
improving current processes Speeding up of assessment Improved discharge planning
These are monitored and performance managedthrough a series of project groups which feed throughto the newly established patient flow steering group.

In addition Newton have been appointed to reviewprocesses in ED with the view to replicating thesuccess they had in driving up performance inGloucester by driving out the waits in the pathway
Daily capacity planning has been introduced with allwards required to identify their daily discharges to meettheir expected admissions (based on 6 weeks rollingactivity data)
The aim of this action plan is to support improvedperformance against the 95% target in a sustainablefashion, in readiness for winter pressures.
The action plan was agreed by the Strategic HealthAuthority and the PCT In May 2012

This indicator is in exception (RED) in the followingperformance framework:
o 2012/13 NHS Performance Framework This measures as the denominator, the total
number of beds as at the end of the month against,as the numerator, the number of acute patients(aged 18 and over) whose transfer of care wasdelayed each week. In June 2012 there were 60 or5.55% delays from 1,081 occupied beds. This is2.05% above the maximum target of 3.5%.Cumulatively for the period April to June 2012,there have been 167 or 5.21% delays from 3,208occupied beds. This is 1.71% above the target.

%Month %Cumulative TRUST TARGET % The Trust recognises the position with regard toDelayed Transfers of Care and over the last six monthshas been working proactively to improve the situationand implement fundamental changes to dischargeplanning. It must however be recognised that this is ahealth economy wide responsibility, including UHCW.The Trust has good relationships with its partnerorganisations to work towards these improvements.The Trust has an internal Discharge Action Plan andthere are also specific relevant actions in the ArdenCluster work plan. The Trust has appointed aDischarge Director and a Lead Nurse for Patient CareStandards and Discharge, to drive the implementationand roll out of the action plans, with full roll out plannedby 31.7.12. The situation is strictly monitored internallyalongside twice weekly formal meetings with partnerorganisations.

The UHCW discharge action plan will address anumber of operational issues as well as implementing anumber of clinical actions across inpatient wards in theTrust such as daily board rounds, weeklyMultidisciplinary Team Meetings (MDT’s) to agreepathways for the more difficult to discharge patients.Many of the actions aim to improve UHCW internalprocesses and decision making with regard to patientflow and discharge. This will lead to a reduction ofinternal waits and the setting of more challengingtimescales with regard to discharge. A major risk of thisinternal improvement alone is that the pressure onexternal agencies will increase, leading to a potentialincrease in Delayed Transfers of Care, unless a healtheconomy approach is followed. The target of DelayedTransfers of Care must, therefore, not be considered asa target solely for one organisation, as improvement inperformance in this area requires engagement andcooperation from all agencies.
A key issue with driving down the DTOC is theavailability of Home Support (HSSTS) for patients.Despite the Partnership Trust increasing the hours ofthis service to over 1000 hours per week and usingexternal companies it cannot meet the demand and atany one time there are 20-30 patients awaiting support.This has been formally escalated to the commissionersin the last 7 days
In April this year the Trust was set a target by thecommissioners of 120 unsupported discharges eachday and the external agencies (Social services,Continuing Health, Intermediate Care etc) were set atarget of 20 supported discharges daily. UHCW has hitit’s target every day without fail but the number ofsupported discharges has rarely been achieved. Ifadditional capacity were to be found by the externalagencies for home support they too would then achievethe targets set them by the commissioners.
The SHA met with the Arden cluster during June todiscuss it’s concerns regarding the high levels of DTOCacross all 3 of the acute Trusts (West Midlands ishighlighted as an outlier nationally and Coventry ishighlighted as an outlier in the West Midlands) It wasmade very clear at the meeting that this was an healtheconomy target and the commissioners had a veryclear role to play in driving down the DTOC in Arden
The expectation is that the internal improvementswithin UHCW will be completed by the end of July2012.. The expectation is that these discussions willlead to a reduction in Delayed Transfers of Care by theend of Quarter 2 2012.

4. CHALLENGES (Not included in Section 3)
The following targets are considered to pose a challenge for UHCW to deliverduring 2012/13 and have been risk assessed as high in Table 5 (Section 2) ofthis report.
C2: METHICILLIN-RESISTANTSTAPHYLOCOCCUS AUREUS (MRSA)BACTERAEMIA – MEETING THE MRSAOBJECTIVE
KEY ACTIONS/COMMENTS:
During June there have been no MRSAinfections in UHCW. Cumulatively for the periodApril to June 2012 there have been no MRSAinfections. This target is considered to be achallenge because the target for the whole of2012/13 is only 2 MRSA cases.

2012/13 Year To Date Month
Finance Report – as at Month 3 – 2012/13Statement of Financial Position
The main statement of financial position year to date variances against the plan are an increase in cash balance of £5.5m, which is a result of: i) reduced current trade andreceivables levels of £1.9m, following an improvement in the Trust's collection of outstanding debt over that originally planned; ii) a total increase in trade payables and currentprovisions of £2.8m and iii) a reduction in balance of property, plant and equipment of £0.9m compared to the original plan, which is mainly due to slippage in the year to datecapital additions.
The variances in forecast outturn to plan reflect the final presentation adjustments that were made to the Trust's 2011/12 yearend accounts. The deprecation charge forecastfor 2012/13 has also been reduced from plan by £1.8m to take account of the year-end revaluation exercise.

The year to date slippage in the capital programme primarily relates to three schemes: bowel cancer screening mailing equipment; breast screening mobilepacs and imaging equipment; and lifecycle of the linear accelerator. All these schemes are however progressing and will be completed during quarter 2.Whilst there is £1.192m year to date slippage on the capital programme, the year to date capital spend equates to 78% of the year to date plan, whichremains above the PMR financial risk indicator of 75%

Supporting all NHS Trusts to achieve NHS Foundation Trust status by April 2014
Tripartite Formal Agreement between:
− University Hospitals Coventry & Warwickshire NHS Trust − NHS Midlands & East − Department of Health
Introduction This tripartite formal agreement (TFA) confirms the commitments being made by the NHS Trust, their Strategic Health Authority (SHA) and the Department of Health (DH) that will enable achievement of NHS Foundation Trust (FT) status before April 2014. Specifically the TFA confirms the date (Part 1 of the agreement) when the NHS Trust will submit their “FT ready” application to DH to begin their formal assessment towards achievement of FT status. The organisations signing up to this agreement are confirming their commitment to the actions required by signing in part 2a. The signatories for each organisation are as follows:
NHS Trust – Andrew Hardy, Chief Executive Officer SHA – Sir Neil McKay, Chief Executive DH – David Flory, Deputy NHS Chief Executive, NTDA Chief Executive Designate
In addition the lead commissioner for the Trust will also sign the agreement to ensure commissioner support exists for the actions that need to be undertaken locally as well as agreeing to resolve any commissioner issues. The information provided in this agreement does not replace the SHA assurance processes that underpin the development of FT applicants. The agreed actions of all SHAs will be taken over by the Provider Development Authority (PDA) when that takes over the SHA provider development functions.
2
The objective of the TFA is to identify the key strategic and operational issues facing each NHS Trust (Part 4) and the actions required at local, regional and national level to address these (Parts 5, 6 and 7). Part 8 of the agreement covers the key milestones that will need to be achieved to enable the FT application to be submitted to the date set out in part 1 of the agreement. Standards required to achieve FT status The establishment of a TFA for each NHS Trust does not change, or reduce in anyway, the requirements needed to achieve FT status. That is, the same exacting standards around quality of services, governance and finance will continue to need to be met, at all stages of the process, to achieve FT status. The purpose of the TFA for each NHS Trust is to provide clarity and focus on the issues to be addressed to meet the standards required to achieve FT status. Alongside development activities being undertaken to take forward each NHS Trust to FT status by April 2014, it is paramount that high quality services are maintained. To remove any focus from quality healthcare provision in this interim period would completely undermine the wider objectives of all NHS Trusts achieving FT status, to establish autonomous and sustainable providers best equipped and enabled to provide the best quality services for patients.

The NHS Trust’s main commissioners See below: NHS Coventry & NHS Warwickshire – Arden Cluster West Midlands Specialised Commissioning Group Summary of PFI schemes (if material) At the end of 2002 the Trust signed a PFI contract to finance and construct a new University Hospital based in Coventry which also provided for the provision of certain equipment and the provision of both hard and soft facilities management services to both the University Hospital and the existing Hospital of St Cross. The primary PFI contractor or Special Purpose Vehicle (SPV) is the umbrella organisation created by the PFI Consortium and is Coventry and Rugby Hospital Company (CRHC) which is a part of the HCP Social Infrastructure Limited (UK) Limited. CRHC owns the building and subcontracts the provision of non-clinical support services to:
• ISS Mediclean Limited – (Soft Facilities Management)
• Vinci Group – (Hard Facilities Management)
• Skanska Construction – (Construction)
• GE Medical Systems – (Equipment provider)
The primary term of the contract is 37 years; in December 2042 the ownership of the hospital will be transferred in full to UHCW.
The unitary payment is a charge of approximately £73 million per annum, payable quarterly in advance.
Further information UHCW is located in the West Midlands and is one of the largest teaching hospitals in England
5
housing one of the UK’s largest PFI hospitals. It provides both general acute hospital services to approximately 500,000 people from Coventry and Rugby and tertiary/specialist hospital services to over one million people from Coventry, Warwickshire and beyond (mainly West Midlands but also including Leicestershire and Northamptonshire). The University Hospital in Coventry is one of the most modern healthcare facilities in Western Europe, whilst the Hospital of St Cross in Rugby is important in sustaining a local service to local people. From March 2012 the Trust became one of the three designated Adult Major Trauma centres in the West Midlands. In March 2011 the Trust employed 5,951 staff (WTE). In 2010/11 the Trust managed 1,380 beds (1,090 inpatient beds and 154 day case beds at University Hospital and 136 beds at the Hospital of St Cross) and 32 operating theatres. Approximately 94% of referrals originated from within Coventry and Warwickshire with c.59% of referrals from NHS Coventry. For 2012/13 the Arden Cluster hold the contract for themselves and Associates, which include all other remaining West Midlands PCTs plus Northamptonshire PCT, Leicestershire County and Rutland PCT and Leicester City PCT. The West Midlands Specialised Commissioning Group is our coordinating commissioner for specialised services, co-ordinating the contract on behalf of all the NHS Midlands and East PCTs and the four LCCBs. The other main Associate to this contract is the East Midlands Specialised Commissioning Group. In total, the value of our healthcare contracts in 2012/13 is £389 million. The Trust has a programme/project management approach to its FT application, with an established FT Office and a Foundation Trust Project Director, supported by a dedicated FT Finance Manager and Membership Manager, alongside administrative support. An FT Steering Committee, chaired by the Chief Executive Officer that includes all Trust Executive Directors, Trust Board Secretary and SHA representation has been in operation and will continue, overseeing all aspects of the Trust’s FT application work. A project team, populated by appropriate business work stream leads and clinical leads for Medical, Nursing and other Healthcare professions has been in place similarly. The original TFA date was not achieved as the level of surplus being indicated was not considered adequate for the application to proceed. The Trust needs to be able to demonstrate the achievement of its financial plan which will include higher levels of surplus in the early years and delivery of fully worked up efficiency targets. Monitor’s recent announcement of its assumptions about future years’ efficiency requirements has also meant that the Trust needs time to review and amend its plans. The Trust’s Chief Executive Officer is the Executive Lead for the FT Project. All usual programme management tools (timelines and project plans with appropriate dependencies and milestones identified, risk & issue logs, appropriate action plans, communications and engagement plans & logs etc. etc.) have been and will continue to be utilised. There is monthly reporting to the public session of the Trust Board and updated, RAG rated action plans, with mitigation actions where necessary, go to the FT Steering Committee.

Please provide any further relevant local information in relation to the key issues to be addressed by the NHS Trust:
Commissioning Strategy/intentions Local commissioners are developing a new clinical service strategy, the implications of which will need to be taken into account. The contract between the Commissioning Cluster and Trust is nearing agreement. UHCW will work with partners to develop the new service strategy.
Level of efficiencies/QIPP The Trust plan for 2011/12 contained a CIP requirement of £28m. The delivery for 2011/12 was £20.4m. The Trust Board agreed the financial plan for 2012/13 at the end of March. This takes into account the final 2012/13 contract agreement with Commissioners, including QIPP and the internal assessment of inflationary and other cost pressures. The financial plan contains a CIP requirement of £28.8m. This efficiency requirement is above the implied efficiency rate required by the Operating Framework. The Trust’s CIP for 2012/13 will be delivered through a combination of specialty and corporate work streams; proposals are currently being evaluated for quality impact and profile. The Trust’s strategic plans acknowledge the requirement to reduce length of stay in order to release existing capacity to support additional volumes of activity. The Trust continues to work with the PCT Cluster and Clinical Commissioning Groups to align its capacity with emerging local commissioning intentions designed to deliver the clinical service strategy.
7
PFI Plans and Affordability Our liquidity is currently susceptible to movements in PFI balance sheet charges, specifically the short term PFI finance lease creditor, that are out of the Trust’s control. These movements occur as a direct consequence of adopting IFRS. The adoption of IFRS meant increased depreciation and PDC charges for the Trust. The relatively fixed nature of the Unitary Payment means that the Trust has a reduced cost base to target for efficiency meaning finding further CIPs is challenging. Our PFI Unitary Payment is due quarterly in advance which causes a high cash requirement at these times. This has an average cash requirement of £23m per quarter.
Other Capital Plans and Estate issues There are currently a number of pre-commitments on the Trust’s internally generated funds:
• Working Capital and Capital Investment Loan repayments
• PFI finance lease principal repayments
• PFI life-cycling costs (including significant equipment replacement programmes)
This means there are reduced internally generated funds to spend on other capital projects. The capital programme for 2012/13 and the following 4 years was approved as part of the Board’s consideration of the financial plan at the end of March. Given the Trust’s weak liquidity position currently the capital programme for the next four year period will be limited initially to those schemes required to meet statutory compliance standards and service continuity pressures; careful profiling of schemes will be required to restrict in year investment to levels affordable within the balance of internally generated cash where possible. The Trust will work with commissioners and the Midlands and East SHA to devise a borrowing strategy that supports ‘invest to save’ and strategically essential schemes linked to the generation of revenue surplus.
Loan Debt The Trust currently has two outstanding loans that have helped to maintain liquidity in prior years:
• Working Capital Loan
• £2m outstanding as at 31st March 2012
• Loan fully paid as at 31st March 2013
• Capital Investment Loan
• £11.25m outstanding as at 31st March 2012
• Loan fully paid as at 31st March 2020
There is an indicative requirement, given the capital pressures as outlined above, that the Trust will wish to seek further loan financing in 2012/13.
Working Capital and Liquidity Liquidity out-turned at 16.3 days for 2011/12 (based on draft final accounts). The current forecast for 2012/13 is 12.5 days. In the short term the Trust is looking at a number of ways of strengthening its liquidity position:
8
o Capital Investment Loans o Tighter working capital management o Generation of surpluses
Generation of surpluses in future years is assumed to improve the liquidity position in the long term.
Board Capacity and Capability A number of known changes at Board level are taking place over the next 3 – 6 months and the new board members will need support to ensure the Trust’s board capacity and capability is at appropriate levels within the timescales required. The Trust is currently completing its Board Governance Assurance Framework self-assessment and actions, including non-mandatory modules, and is using a combination of external and internal support to ensure actions identified are completed and the Board is well prepared for Foundation Trust status.
Performance delivery
A&E – The challenge to achieve the 95% KPI and sustained improvement going forward has been recognised internally and externally. The Trust has invited in, with commissioner support, ECIEST, who have led a full review of processes and procedures internally and externally and have offered recommendations around best practice to be introduced. In partnership with our other local health organisations, an A&E action plan has been produced which is led by our commissioners and progressed and monitored by our respective Executive teams. There has also been an agreement to encourage patient flow, where there will be a target of discharges daily alongside a daily target of assisted discharges.
RTT - There is a commitment and plans to deliver to meet and achieve, in full, the KPI in all specialties. However, in one area (Trauma and Orthopaedics) there is still a recognised risk. We continue to source and introduce additional capacity, as well as working with our commissioners with the development and introduction of new clinical pathways which are proving successful with regards to overall activity. Pressure ulcers – There is a strong commitment at UHCW to deliver the SHA’s aspiration to eliminate pressure ulcers. The Trust has developed a programme of awareness, training, monitoring and performance management to deliver this. Additionally, equipment and training resource has now been allocated to assist in the delivery during 2012/13. The Trust has fully implemented the Patient Safety Thermometer System across all wards and departments which will monitor progress against the SHA performance trajectory.

Please provide any further relevant local information in relation to the key actions to be taken by the NHS Trust with an identified lead and delivery dates: • PFI payments
The Trust needs to work to ensure the current arrangement with commissioners, that allows the Trust make these payments, continues with the advent of GP Consortia, in order to fulfil its unitary payment obligations. Chief Finance Officer is identified lead. Timescale is ongoing and awaiting further
10
clarification around Local Health Economy financial arrangements in the future.
• Level of Efficiencies/CIPs The Trust will put in place appropriate service transformation measures with robust performance management to ensure these efficiencies/CIPs are achieved. This will be delivered through the revised organisational structure which came into place on 1st April 2012. This is based on specialty management groups each headed by a clinical director, supported by a modern matron and general manager; the integrated performance framework will be led by the Chief Executive with executive support from the Chief Medical Officer, Chief Nursing Officer, Chief HR Officer and Chief Finance Officer. The Trust is pursuing a two pronged approach to CIP delivery involving traditional cost improvements within clinical specialty management groups and a number of cross-cutting organisation-wide schemes. A programme management office approach is being adopted to support scheme identification and to hold project leads to account for delivery with escalation to the Chief Officers’ Group.
Timescale is ongoing throughout the 2012/13 year and beyond to enable full and thorough system change and performance management.
• Programme management
The Trust will maintain and strengthen as appropriate its programme management approach in respect of actions associated with its FT application. A formal PMO will be implemented in Q1 2012; the remit will cover IBP strategic developments, specialty reviews, CIP, QIPP and CQUIN initiatives. SMGs and Corporate functions will be accountable via the PMO to the Trust’s Chief Officers Group. A benefits realisation group will critically challenge project proposals for cash/benefits to ensure tangible translation into practice including patient safety. The PMO will support project planning including training and coaching for project leads and teams and will complement the Trust’s organisational development agenda. Chief Finance Officer is identified lead.
Timescale is ongoing through to achievement of FT statusA new organisational structure has been operational from 1
st April 2012 which will improve the alignment of quality,
performance and CIP delivery. A fully integrated performance regime is being implemented and the structure with clinical leads should enforce a culture of transformation from the clinical body. The intention of the new structure is that it is clinically driven / clinically owned and based on sound business practice i.e. financial / customer focus and delivery of agreed objectives. The new organisation structure is designed to meet the needs of the organisation (goals, objectives and culture). It is designed to be a structure which best helps the organisation through the unrelenting focus on delivery and achievement of objectives. The organisational arrangements have been developed with clear and explicit objectives these are summarised below
• Provide high quality healthcare to the patients we serve;
• Support reliable planning of capacity, delivery of activity in line with contracts and achievement of all access and other targets;
• Ensure robust performance management of delivery;
• Develop a culture of wide ownership of the Trust’s objectives and a desire to achieve them;
• Introduce functional focus in line with service objectives rather than ‘tribal encampments’;
• Streamline the existing structure to achieve efficiency savings without compromising on service quality.
There is clear and unambiguous line of sight from the Trust Board/Chief Officers Group to the frontline clinical groups all of which have the underpinning operational polices to
11
ensure that performance and delivery is key focus, this is underpinned and supported by a very robust performance management regime. The key element that is being introduced and that will link together delivery of performance with effective review will be the creation of a system of central control. This will be called the ‘Delivery team’. This is a team is comprised of senior trust Executive/Clinical management including those who are directly responsible for and will oversee delivery against objectives, achievement of KPI’s and linking planning to performance performance daily. The Chief Operating Officer is identified lead. This post has recently been appointed to with the individual due to take up post shortly. In the interim the Trust has a Director of Delivery who is covering the vacancy. Timescale is ongoing throughout 2012/13 and beyond to enable full and thorough system change and performance management.
• Other Capital and Estate Plans The Trust will need to secure a funding solution for capital expenditure that enables it to continue to drive improvements to liquidity, whilst at the same time, maintaining and improving its Estate.
Chief Finance Officer is lead.
