1.2 Chairs Announcements Chair welcomed all members to the meeting. 5 members of the public attended the meeting. 1.3 Declarations of Interest All members declared an interest in the item regarding the proposed Constitution amendments, as the paper directly refers to the Governing Body and its members. (Item 2.1). 1.4 Comments/questions from members of the public A patient from Claughton Medical Centre raised concerns regarding ‘critical care data’ and the option for patients to opt out of providing information to other health organisations. He requested
Minutes of the WCCG –Governing Body Meeting – PUBLIC SESSION – 11th November 2014 Page 2 of 6
Ref No. Minute that people are made aware of the benefits of the facility and asked why people are being asked to opt out. Members agreed that core clinical data is vital and that this should be shared across all health organisations but the Chair clarified that patients have the right to opt out of their information from being shared. SWe explained that the decision to opt out is not a one off decision and can be re-visited. 1.5 Patient Story LQ gave an overview of a patient’s story which highlighted Stroke Prevention. FJ commented about the information provided to patients to help them make informed decisions and the importance of listening to patients and reflecting on their requirements. SWe also highlighted the importance of prevention and the work streams that are dealing with this. JK commented on staff training for those who carry out health checks and the importance of not just carrying out processes but to listen. Members noted the contents of the patient story. 1.6 Minutes from previous meeting held on 7th October 014. The minutes of the previous meeting held on 7th October 2014 were agreed as a true and accurate record notwithstanding grammatical/typographical errors which will be rectified. There were no matters arising. Action Points – please refer to separate Action Sheet. 1.7 Matters Arising Procedures of low clinical priority Members were asked to carefully note the minutes of the last meeting in regard to Procedures of Local Clinical Priority which recorded the amendments to the policies. Members agreed that there were an accurate reflection of the decisions.
GB14-15/0044
2.0 Items for approval 2.1 Proposed amendments to NHS Wirral CCG’s Constitution PE gave a presentation to the Governing Body regarding the proposed amendments to NHS Wirral CCGs constitution. A number of the recommendations of the Capability and Governance Review directly related to the CCG’s constitution and a significant degree of change was required to that document to address the concerns highlighted by the Review. An overview of these proposed changes were presented to the Governing Body in October 2014 and were supported by members. A number of key drivers had shaped these proposed amendments, including:
• Dedicated member engagement events
Minutes of the WCCG –Governing Body Meeting – PUBLIC SESSION – 11th November 2014 Page 3 of 6
Ref No. Minute • GP fora • Patient groups • Stakeholder views • Patient and public engagement • LMC survey, were the majority of respondents were supportive of the changes • Legal opinion
It was recognised that there were varied views from practices and that the proposals represent a best fit to accommodate those reviews. A letter had been sent to practices to seek their intentions in regard to supporting the proposed amendments. Results from member practices on amended constitution were:
– Over 70% response rate – Over 75% of respondents in favour – 82% in favour from all practices, where non-response was indicated as a yes vote
in line with the letter sent to practices – 2 practices who have not initially supported proposals have indicated they would
support if that was majority view, which would mean 86% in favour
Some points of clarity had been raised by Governing Body Members regarding:
– Accountability arrangements of Accountable Officer to Chair – Standardisation/clarity on Terms of Reference wording – Election arrangements – Clarity on Scheme of Reservation and Delegation
PE addressed these issues and stated that these minor points of clarity could be addressed in the submission. He stated that the election arrangements would be developed and implemented with the LMC and all processes published in a clear and transparent manner. In addition, issues were noted from practices in the areas of:
• Membership Council • Local arrangements • Concerns raised by WGPCC GP Forum
With regard to the Membership Council, PE pointed out that this is something that would be co-designed with Member Practices in the near future and local engagement arrangements were also something that would be developed with practice and patients. PE also addressed the concerns raised by WPGCC GP Forum, which focussed on the GP membership of the Governing Body and the proposed model. PE explained that the amendments were a result of the specific recommendations of the review and the varied views of practices and should therefore be recognised as a ‘best fit’ that has developed significantly in response to those views. These developments have included increased elected clinical posts, an additional registered nurse role and an additional lay member. PE summarised the next steps in terms of completing the required impact assessment and informed members that the proposed amendments, together with the impact assessment, would now be submitted to NHS England for approval. JD highlighted that he genuinely believes that the proposed structure and amendments provide the best possible opportunity to move forward and focus on the most important things in relation to the Wirral economy.
Minutes of the WCCG –Governing Body Meeting – PUBLIC SESSION – 11th November 2014 Page 4 of 6
Ref No. Minute JD thanked the LMC for their support and cooperation with regards to the proposed amendments and went on to thank all members of the Governing Body for their contributions. DJ positively commented on the pre consultation process and the impact it has had in developing the proposed amendments. RW sought clarity around those practices who have not agreed to the proposed amendments and how the CCG are going to approach and support these practices. Chair clarified that there is an on-going offer to visit practices to discuss the constitution. PE stated that the CCG would wish to engage with all practices moving forward. PE informed that the constitution will continue to be refined over time and should not be seen as ‘set in stone’. He stated that, as an example, the CCG would need to amend the constitution again in the New Year should it wish to undertake co-commissioning. JK welcomed the proposed amendments and thanked members for their input and support; however, he highlighted the need to ensure that the election processes were clear and explicit. PE clarified for members that the voting and election process will be jointly agreed with LMC and published ahead of an election being undertaken. SW asked how GP practices will engage with their patients in any voting processes. Governing Body members stated that this would be at the discretion of member practices JO informed members of views from some of the constituent practices of WGPCC. These included: further information on geographical localities, voting rights, election and appointment processes and the clarification as to whether the constitution is a new one or amended one. PE clarified that the changes to the constitution were considered amendments and not a new constitution (the CCG already has a constitution) and that the development of a localised approach is something that the CCG has already stated it would be working with practices to develop. He reiterated that the constitution represented a ‘best fit’ of views and pointed out that there was a mixture of opinions on whether the GP posts should be elected or appointed and hence the resulting balance that has been proposed. JO went on to state that he supports the proposed amendments personally, but did wish to raise those concerns as Chair of WGPCC. FJ commented on how she welcomed the proposed amendments and how transparent and honest the debate had been and how the amendments provide a strong platform to work alongside Local Authority colleagues. MG highlighted that those members of the WACC welcomed the proposed changes and looked forward to working with the new structure. He went on to thank members for their work and the support of his CCG colleagues. The Governing Body then voted for the proposed constitution amendments. There were no votes against or abstentions. All members voted in favour of the proposed amendments. PE will now submit the proposed amendments to NHS England and will communicate the outcome to GP colleagues, staff members and the wider Wirral community. Chair thanked Paul Edwards for his contribution and input to the proposed amendments.

Link to current governing body Objectives
Summary: Over the last few months, colleagues from both Wirral CCG and Wirral Borough Council have been holding informal discussions to explore how they can work more effectively together, specifically in the areas of joint commissioning and commissioning support arrangements.
These discussions have been held in the context of organisational and financial challenges for both organisations, along with responding to the implications of:
• National drivers, namely the Better Care Fund requirements, the Care Act and the Children and Families Act.
• Local drivers, namely the Vision 2018 programme established to provide a health and social care sector response to the significant system wide pressures in Wirral.
The ambition of the two organisations is to collaborate, building on the positive work to date to proactively integrate, share and align resources where is makes sense to do so.

Joint position statement of Wirral council (Families and Wellbeing Directorate) and Wirral CCG clarifying our collective ambition, intended actions and milestones.
Introduction
Over the last few months colleagues from both organisations have been holding informal discussions to explore how the above organisations can work more effectively together, specifically in the areas of joint commissioning and commissioning support arrangements.
These discussions have been held in the context of organisational and financial challenges for both organisations along with responding to the implications of:
• National drivers, namely the Better Care Fund requirements, the Care Act and the Children and Families Act.
• Local drivers, namely the Vision 2018 programme established to provide a health and social care sector response to the significant system wide pressures in Wirral and the £150m reduction in collective resources by 2018.
At the first joint team to team meeting on 26th September 2014 it was agreed that the starting point for the development of a collaborative agenda spanning a range of opportunities was the creation of this paper which could be shared with both organisational Boards (in case of the Council – officer and political).
Ambition
The ambition of the two organisations is to collaborate, building on the positive work to date to proactively integrate, share and align resources where is makes sense to do so. We recognise that a pragmatic approach is necessary and to note that it may not be appropriate to bring together all the elements of activity for a variety of reasons.
In order to develop and take forward out ambition we have set out a number of guiding principles which we all own and will be informed by:
• We will always use the approach set out above to consider opportunities for changing the way we do things e.g. where we have vacancies we will look at the opportunity to develop joint roles, we will develop lead roles to represent both organisations on specific subject matter, we will co locate where it makes sense to do so.
• We will agree a common narrative understood by all – and we will use it. • We will always clarify the risks associated with any integrated, shared and aligned
activity and be open and clear about how that will be managed. • We will ensure that we have transparent and robust governance arrangement with
clear reporting lines into our respective governing bodies.
Actions to deliver this ambition
We have identified that there will be a range of actions we will can engage in and take forward. These will fall into short (as in the next 3 months), medium (as in the next 12 months) and longer term (12 months to 2 years) activity. We need to clarify this plan and
ensure our proposals are agreed by our respective Boards. So far we have identified the following:
Short Term (by the end of December)
• We have identified opportunities where we can co-locate staff within the same building to improve the working arrangements and sharing of information and expertise.
• Explore the opportunity of creating joint senior commissioning posts • We are keen to use the existing opportunity to review current structures particularly in
relation to joint commissioning and commissioning support arrangements. • We want to map our current separate delivery arrangements around key service
areas to understand where those synergies are and develop alternate delivery proposals.
• We will meet regularly as a joint team and have agreed that will be on a fortnightly basis.
• We want to have an agreed view on the current provider landscape • We want to strengthen the workings of the Joint Commissioning Group and ensure it
reflects our joint approach with an agreed Joint Commissioning Strategy
Medium Term Intent (By October 2015) We will put appropriate management arrangements, providing assurances to respective organisations, in place to support:
• an integrated commissioning function with joint roles within the structure. • a joint commissioning support function that maximises the opportunity for health
intelligence and strategic planning. Develop further integrated/joint teams (as appropriate) We will further explore the pooled budget and would anticipate that a greater resource than that presently would be developed in support of our joint commissioning priorities. The actual activity and value has yet to be determined
Long Term Intent (By October 2016)
• We will have met our stated ambition, will have reviewed our progress and set out our ambitions for the next 3 years.
• We will have a pooled budget and will be commissioning a significant amount of health and social care activity through an integrated commissioning unit.

Governance: Link to Commissioning Strategy
Delivering high quality planned care; Adult Mental Health services; Management of long-term conditions and chronic disease management
Link to current governing body Objectives
Enhance the quality of life for people with long-term conditions; Helping people to recover from episodes of ill health or following injury; Ensuring people have a positive experience of care; Prevent people from dying prematurely; Ensuring people are treated and cared for in safe environment and protected from avoidable harm.
Summary: Primary Care co-commissioning is one of a series of changes set out in the NHS Five Year Forward View and is seen as a key enabler in developing seamless, integrated out-of-hospital services based around the diverse needs of local populations. It will drive the development of new models of care such as multi-speciality community providers and primary and acute care systems. There are 3 primary care co-commissioning models that CCGs could take forward:
a) Greater involvement in primary care decision-making
b) Joint commissioning arrangements c) Delegated commissioning arrangements
Governance arrangements for the respective models: Joint commissioning - formation of a joint committee or “committees in common” with their Area team in order to jointly commission primary medical services Delegated commissioning - NHS England have developed a model governance framework for delegated commissioning arrangements.
Wirral CCG Governing Body 02.12.2014 2/4
Support and resources for co-commissioning Primary care commissioning by area teams is currently delivered across a large geography spanning several CCGs and guidance states there is no possibility of additional administrative resources being deployed on these services at this time due to running cost constraints.
CCGs and area teams are encouraged to seek pragmatic and flexible local solutions to support arrangements for 2015/16. Conflicts of interest management A national framework for conflicts of interest management in primary care co-commissioning is being developed in partnership with NHS Clinical Commissioners and with formal engagement of Monitor and HealthWatch England. Approvals and implementation process The approvals process for co-commissioning arrangements will be as straightforward as possible due to the robust authorisation process CCGs previously underwent in their establishment as statutory bodies. Proposals for joint and delegated commissioning arrangements will require an amendment to a CCG’s constitution, which must be submitted by 9th January 2015.
Submission deadlines for co-commissioning applications are as follows;
Joint commissioning – 30th January 2015 Delegated commissioning – 9th January 2015
Recommendation: To Approve
To Note √
Comments
Next Steps: The CCG to commence a comprehensive engagement process with member practices, in conjunction with Wirral Local Medical Committee, to consider the range of options and implications that co-commissioning will present to primary care on Wirral.
Wirral CCG Governing Body 02.12.2014 3/4
This section is an assessment of the impact of the proposal/item. As such, it identifies the significant risks, issues and exceptions against the identified areas. Each area must contain sufficient (written in full sentences) but succinct information to allow the Board to make informed decisions. It should also make reference to the impact on the proposal/item if the Board rejects the recommended decision. What are the implications for the following (please state if not applicable): Financial
Co-commissioning will give the CCG the option of having more control of the wider NHS budget, enabling a shift in investment from acute to primary and community services. Historic variations in primary care funding across England and localities requires a move towards a fair distribution of resources for primary care based on the needs of diverse populations.
Value For Money Co-commissioning offers the opportunity to develop more affordable services through efficiencies gained.
Risk The following risk areas will require the appropriate mitigation; disinterest of member practices in co-commissioning; inadequate management of conflicts of interest matters; consequences of addressing funding variations; and increased workload on CCG staff.
Legal Technical advice will be provided by NHS England on the legalities of joint and delegated arrangements.
Workforce As there is no additional staff resources available from NHS England to support the extra responsibilities of taking on co-commissioning, the CCG will need to identify a flexible and local solution in conjunction with the local area team.
Equality & Human Rights
Any change to commissioned services must be undertaken in consideration of not impairing/worsening patients’ rights. The considerations and recommendations in this document are designed to continue the securing of healthcare services that meet the current health needs of the Wirral population, based upon agreed evidenced CCG objectives and supported by data from the Joint Strategic Needs Assessment (JSNA).
Patient and Public Involvement (PPI)
Co-commissioning could lead to benefits for the public and patients including improved access to primary care and wider out-of-hospital services, with more services available closer to home; improved health outcomes, equity of access and reduced inequalities and a better patient experience through more joined up services. Open and transparent engagement with public and patients in the consideration of co-commissioning, will be an important key component of the overall CCG approach with member practices.
Partnership Working
The CCG and its member practices, in conjunction with Wirral Local Medical Committee, will form the pivotal partnership in progressing co-commissioning. Joint commissioning will require the formation of a joint committee or “committees in common” between other CCGs and NHS England. Delegated commissioning will require the formation of a primary care commissioning committee.

NHS Wirral CCG
Co-commissioning update Introduction
1. Primary Care co-commissioning is one of a series of changes set out in the NHS Five Year Forward View and is seen as a key enabler in developing seamless, integrated out-of-hospital services based around the diverse needs of local populations. It will drive the development of new models of care such as multispeciality community providers and primary and acute care systems.
2. There are 3 primary care co-commissioning models that CCGs could take forward:
a) Greater involvement in primary care decision-making
o Invitation to collaborate more closely with the Area team to ensure decisions taken about primary care services are strategically aligned across the local health economy
b) Joint commissioning arrangements o Enables one or more CCGs to assume responsibility for jointly
commissioning primary medical services with their Area team, either through a joint committee or “committees in common”
c) Delegated commissioning arrangements o CCG to assume full responsibility for commissioning general
practice services – legally, NHS England retain the residual liability for the performance of primary medical care commissioning and therefore will require robust assurance that its own statutory functions are being discharged effectively by the CCG.
The scope for primary care co-commissioning in 2015/16 is general practice services only.
3. Governance arrangements for the respective models are as follows;
a. Greater involvement in primary care decision-making – no new governance arrangements would be required and this type of involvement could be agreed between the CCG and its Area team at any time. The effectiveness of this arrangement is reliant upon strong local relationships and approaches to collaborative working. This model is unlikely to encounter an increase in conflicts of interest as the CCG would not have formal accountability for decision-making.
b. Joint commissioning arrangements – formation of a joint committee or “committees in common” with their Area team in order to jointly commission primary medical services. Due to the passing of a Legislative Reform Order by parliament, CCGs can now form a joint committee with one or more CCGs and NHS England. The joint committee structure allows a more efficient and effective way of working together than a committees-in-common approach therefore is
Prepared by Iain Stewart, Head of Direct Commissioning
the recommended governance structure for joint commissioning arrangements. Individual CCGs and NHS England always remain accountable for meeting their own statutory duties, i.e. quality, financial resources, equality, health inequalities and public participation, meaning NHS England retains accountability for the discharge of its statutory duties in relation to primary care commissioning.
c. Delegated commissioning arrangements – NHS England have
developed a model governance framework for delegated commissioning arrangements. The recommendation is that CCGs establish a primary care commissioning committee to oversee the exercise of the delegated functions. CCGs will remain
4. Committee membership arrangements;
- Joint commissioning arrangements model – joint
committees should be agreed between the Area team and CCG and in the interests of transparency and mitigation of conflicts of interest, a local Healthwatch representative and Local Authority representative from the Health & Wellbeing Board will have the right to join the joint committee as non-voting attendees. CCG should ensure that membership of the committee enables appropriate contribution from a range of stakeholders and it will be important to retain clinical leadership of commissioning in the joint committee.
- Delegated commissioning arrangements model – CCG to agree the full membership of the primary care commissioning committee – must be chaired by a lay member and have a lay and executive majority plus in the interests of transparency and mitigation of conflicts of interest, a local Healthwatch representative and Local Authority representative from the Health & Wellbeing Board will have the right to join the delegated committee as non-voting attendees. CCG should ensure that membership of the committee enables appropriate contribution from a range of stakeholders and it will be important to retain clinical leadership of commissioning in the delegated committee.
5. Support and resources for co-commissioning
It is recognised that implementing primary care co-commissioning and ensuring CCGs can access the necessary resources, needs to be managed in a way that both supports those CCGs wanting to take on co-commissioning responsibilities and allow area teams to continue to safely and effectively deliver their remaining responsibilities.
Prepared by Iain Stewart, Head of Direct Commissioning
Primary care commissioning by area teams is currently delivered across a large geography spanning several CCGs and guidance states there is no possibility of additional administrative resources being deployed on these services at this time due to running cost constraints. CCGs and area teams are encouraged to seek pragmatic and flexible local solutions to support arrangements for 2015/16, ensuring that;
- CCGs taking on delegated commissioning responsibilities have access to a fair share of the area teams’ primary care commissioning staff resources and;
- Area teams retain a fair share of existing resources to deliver all their ongoing primary care responsibilities
6. Conflicts of interest management
Conflicts of interest, perceived or actual, need to be managed carefully within co-commissioning. It is a matter of public interest and in the interest of the primary care profession that this issue is robustly and transparently handled. CCGs already manage conflicts of interest as part of the day-to-day work, however, without a strengthened approach, co-commissioning could significantly increase the frequency and range of potential conflicts of interest, especially for delegated commissioning arrangements. Section 14O of the NHS Act 2006 (as amended by the Health and Social Care Act 2012) sets out minimum requirements for managing conflicts of interest, including;
- NHS England provide guidance to CCGs on the discharge of their duties
- CCGs must; • maintain appropriate registers of interests • publish or make arrangements for the public to access
those registers • make arrangements requiring prompt declaration of
interests by the persons specified and ensure the interests are entered into the relevant register
• make arrangements for managing conflicts of interest and potential conflicts and have regard to guidance published by NHS England in relation to conflicts of interest
A national framework for conflicts of interest management in primary care co-commissioning is being developed in partnership with NHS Clinical Commissioners and with formal engagement of Monitor and HealthWatch England. The guidance will be published in December 2014 as statutory guidance in accordance with section 14Z8 of the NHS Act 2006 (as amended by the Health and Social Care Act 2012). The guidance will be specifically aimed at CCGs
Prepared by Iain Stewart, Head of Direct Commissioning
exercising delegated authority but all CCGs will be required to have regard to the principles set out in the guidance. Each CCGs’ Audit Committee Chair and Accountable Officer will be required to provide direct formal attestation that the CCG has complied with conflict of interest guidance.
7. Approvals and implementation process The approvals process for co-commissioning arrangements will be as straightforward as possible due to the robust authorisation process CCGs previously underwent in their establishment as statutory bodies. The process will be governed by the following principles;
- Conducted openly and transparently and contain no surprises
- Minimise the administrative demands placed on CCGs and area teams
- On-going assurance of co-commissioning arrangements will form part of the CCG assurance process
Unless a CCG has serious governance issues or is in a state akin to “special measures”, NHS England will support CCGs to move towards implementing co-commissioning arrangements. CCGs must be able to demonstrate appropriate levels of sound financial control and meet all statutory and business planning requirements to progress delegated arrangements. As membership organisations, CCGs should fully engage with their members when considering co-commissioning options. It would also benefit CCGs and local stakeholders such as patients, local authorities, Health and Wellbeing boards and local HealthWatch, to have an open and inclusive conversation about options and possible arrangements. Proposals for joint and delegated commissioning arrangements will require an amendment to a CCG’s constitution, which must be submitted by 9th January 2015. Submission deadlines for co-commissioning applications are as follows;
- Joint commissioning – 30th January 2015 - Delegated commissioning – 9th January 2015
8. Next steps The CCG to commence a comprehensive engagement process with member practices, in conjunction with Wirral Local Medical Committee, to consider the range of options and implications that co-commissioning will present to primary care on Wirral.
Prepared by Iain Stewart, Head of Direct Commissioning
9. Recommendation The Governing Body is asked to note the update on primary care co-commissioning and support the proposed next step as detailed in item 8.

This section is an assessment of the impact of the proposal/item. As such, it identifies the significant risks, issues and exceptions against the identified areas. Each area must contain sufficient (written in full sentences) but succinct information to allow the Board to make informed decisions. It should also make reference to the impact on the proposal/item if the Board rejects the recommended decision. What are the implications for the following (please state if not applicable):
Financial
The signing of the contracts allows for planning for the forthcoming year for both providers and the CCG.
Value For Money
By developing a robust process for the contracting process based on transformation, activity and patient flow will demonstrate value for money
Risk Not agreeing the approach earlier in the contracting process will potentially cause delay in the signing of the contract which will put the CCG at financial risk.
Legal If the contract is not signed through negotiation and mutual agreement then there are legal consequences and a process of arbitration would need to be undertaken
Workforce CCG staff are actively involved in the process of contract negotiation. Agreeing a contract within appropriate timescales also enables providers to plan for their required workforce.
Equality & Human Rights
Equality Impact Assessments will be undertaken for all proposed changes to service provision.
Patient and Public Involvement (PPI)
Enganment with the patient and public has been undertaken as part of the vision 2018 programme and consortia patient groups. Further engagement will be undertaked as necessary in relation to any individual service changes proposed.
Partnership Working
The approach that is being adopted enhances partnership working across the health economy with care providers
Performance Indicators
As part of transformation, performance indicators and KPI’s will be developed. There will be no negative impact on the NHS constitutional standards

Commissioning Intentions, Service Developments and Improvement Plans
2015/16 Contract Round Introduction
1. In order to ensure Wirral CCG commissions services that continually develop to meet the current and future requirements of the population, an annual process of identifying commissioning intentions and areas of service development and improvement is undertaken.
2. This process informs the contract negotiations undertaken with the service
providers during the final quarter of the year to develop the service contract for the following year.
Progress to date
3. The CCG Operational Group commenced the process with a ‘time-out’ session to collate information identified from work currently underway within the CCG that had implications for the 2015/16 contract round.
4. In addition, the outputs from the Vision 2018 programme areas were also reviewed and collated to inform the process.
5. The proposed areas of focus for commissioning intentions and service developments were reviewed against the broader strategic focus of the Vision 2018 programme and the Wirral CCG Strategic Plan to ensure that any proposed intentions and developments supported strategic delivery.
6. It was agreed that contract negotiations for the 2015/16 contract year would focus on the delivery of transformational change through the lead programme areas of the Wirral Vision 2018 programme, namely Planned Care, Unplanned Care and Long-term Conditions / Complex needs.
7. The contract leads for the three largest CCG contracts (namely those contracts with Wirral University Teaching Hospital, Wirral Community Trust and Cheshire and Wirral Partnership Trust) worked with the CCG Contract Group to develop a ‘Plan-on-a-Page’ for each of the three contracts. These documents are included in Appendix 1.
8. The ‘Plan-on-a-Page’ documents were shared with the CCG GP Member practices for information and comment.
9. A letter detailing the proposed high level commissioning intentions, service developments and improvements was developed from the ‘Plan-on-a-Page’ documents and sent to each of the three providers with the intention of
providing an early indication of the CCG’s plans in order to facilitate discussions during the forthcoming contract negotiation meetings.
10. A further letter detailing the contracting principles and transactional contracting issues relating to the 2015/16 contract negotiations has also been sent to the providers.
Recommendations
11. The Wirral CCG Governing Body is asked to note the content of the ‘Plan-on-a-Page’ documents for the three main CCG contracts.

Link to current governing body Objectives
Summary: This paper provides Governing Body with the summary details of the transition project that is underway. Wirral CCG in conjunction with the 4 Cheshire CCGs (NHS South Cheshire CCG, NHS Vale Royal CCG, NHS Eastern Cheshire CCG, NHS Western Cheshire CCG) is developing a new service delivery model for the management of Continuing Healthcare, Complex Care, Funded Nursing Care and associated Quality & Safeguarding. There are two phases to the work; stabilise the current service and manage the transfer of the existing service (including workforce) from North West Commissioning Support Unit (NWCSU) to a host CCG by end January 2015; and redesign and oversee the delivery of the service transformation. The 5 CCGs have commissioned the services of Integral Health Solutions to project manage the successful service transition. The project design and governance framework for the Stage 2 of the transition project is shown at Appendix 2. The Governing Body is asked to approve the approach to the transition of the CHC service.

This section is an assessment of the impact of the proposal/item. As such, it identifies the significant risks, issues and exceptions against the identified areas. Each area must contain sufficient (written in full sentences) but succinct information to allow the Board to make informed decisions. It should also make reference to the impact on the proposal/item if the Board rejects the recommended decision. What are the implications for the following (please state if not applicable): Financial
Expenditure on Continuing Healthcare (CHC) packages continues to rise year on year due to an increase in the shift of care into the community for patients with complex care needs. The current year forecast for 2014/15 is a c£2m overspend against the CHC budget. A key element of the CHC Framework is the review of care packages to ensure the current care needs are being met and where appropriate, packages of care be reasonably adjusted. In the absence of regular reviews the CCG is unable to achieve best value for money against the use of its financial allocations. A service transition to the CCG will provide greater assurance and control on the mechanisms for reviews.
Value For Money The CCG is not as informed as it needs to be via performance reporting and assurance on procurement processes, and as such cannot determine best value for money against the use of its financial allocations. A service transition to the CCG will provide greater opportunity to develop a meaningful performance framework that informs the CCG.
Risk Along with the financial risks (see above), the current CHC service delivery is creating the potential for clinical and safeguarding risks, due to the backlog of annual reviews of patients’ care packages. A service transition to the CCG will provide greater assurance and control on the mechanisms for reviews.
Legal The CCG has a legal duty to achieve financial balance. The failure to commission high quality, best value services that will likely lead to budgetary overspends, will impact on this statutory requirement.
Workforce Under TUPE regulations a number of NWCSU staff have been identified as eligible to transfer with the service back to the CCGs. Several current roles have been deemed not eligible for transfer and therefore the CCGs will need to work collaboratively through its service redesign phase, to identify solutions.
Equality & Human Rights
The CCG must be mindful of its priority to ensure people are treated and cared for in a safe environment and protected from avoidable harm. Whilst the current performance issues exist within the CHC service commissioned from the CSU, the CCG must take action to assure itself that patients in receipt of CHC packages continue to be supported appropriately with their current care needs.
Patient and Public Involvement (PPI)
Stakeholder consultation is underway through a series of joint staff consultation meetings between affected staff groups and the CCGs and NWCSU. As the service component for the “lift & shift” phase of the service transition remains unchanged, PPI engagement is not currently active. Following the successful transfer of the service back to CCGs, the service redesign phase will require the engagement and involvement of patient and public to inform any service delivery changes.
Partnership Working
The CCG is part of a pan-Cheshire/Wirral transition project to successfully transfer the CHC service from NWCSU back to the CCGs, with agreement that NHS South Cheshire CCG will host the service for the purposes of employment of the staff.
Performance Indicators
The agreed milestones within the service transition project are applicable to all 5 CCGs and Integral Health Solutions in order to achieve the transition of the service by 31st January 2015.

NHS Wirral CCG
Continuing Healthcare transition Introduction
1. Further to the papers considered by the Governing Body at its meeting on 7th October 2014 (copies attached at Appendix 1) in which details of current service issues and outcomes from a due diligence review was shared, the next phase is service transition.
2. This paper provides Governing Body with the summary details of the
transition project that is underway. Wirral CCG in conjunction with the 4 Cheshire CCGs (NHS South Cheshire CCG, NHS Vale Royal CCG, NHS Eastern Cheshire CCG, NHS Western Cheshire CCG) is developing a new service delivery model for the management of Continuing Healthcare, Complex Care, Funded Nursing Care and associated Quality & Safeguarding. There are two phases to the work; stabilise the current service and manage the transfer of the existing service (including workforce) from North West Commissioning Support Unit (NWCSU) to a host CCG by end January 2015; and redesign and oversee the delivery of the service transformation.
3. The 5 CCGs have commissioned the services of Integral Health Solutions to
project manage the successful service transition. The project design and governance framework for the Stage 2 of the transition project is shown at Appendix 2.
4. As part of the transition, there is an extensive Human Resources component
involving staff consultation and ensuring the correct process is followed for TUPE purposes. The CCGs alongside NWCSU, are engaged in a series of joint consultation meetings with affected staff within NWCSU.
5. NHS South Cheshire CCG has offered to act as “employer” in the new service
delivery model with TUPE transfer of appropriate individuals able to occur as early as 31st January 2015, subject to Governing Body endorsement of the approach to the service transition.
6. Affected staff would be integrated into the CCGs either as a dedicated locality staff or as specialist staff covering the wider geographical area of Cheshire and Wirral. A governance structure is being developed to ensure full leadership and ownership by the respective CCGs.
Recommendation 7. The Governing Body is asked to approve the approach to the transition of the
CHC service.

Chair gave thanks to Dr Wells and the Clinical Strategy Group for their work GB agreed to adopt NICE guidelines regarding subfertility which includes offering 3 cycles of IVF up to age 4, 1 cycle age 40-42 and some provision for same sex couples. MG queried the possible position where other CCGs may not adopt the same stance as Wirral CCG. PE assured members that Wirral CCG has followed NICE guidelines and those CCGs who had not done so, would need to explain their rationale as part of their Governing Body deliberations. DJ sought clarity regarding the policy for Childlessness. SWe clarified that there is no current guidance in relation to the definition of childlessness available. JD suggested that the CCG
Minutes of the WCCG –Governing Body Meeting – PUBLIC SESSION – 7th October 2014 Page 3 of 8
Ref No. Minute continue with the current definition of childlessness. SWe highlighted the need to consider a timescale and mechanism to review all policies and PE clarified that there would need to be a regular global review process, but individual areas would be reviewed on a case by case basis when there was a significant change in NICE guidance or other significant change in local factors. PE also explained that, if adopted, the CCG would develop an implementation process for making sure these procedures were built into contracts of current providers. The Governing Body noted the report presented today and agreed the proposed direction of travel to implement NICE Guidelines as outlined in the report. Members also agreed to adopt the current definition of Childlessness. 2.2 Emergency Preparedness, Response and Resilience PE gave an overview of the Emergency Preparedness Response and Resilience plans and processes of the CCG and the requirement to self-assess compliance with core standards. PE talked members through the standards, the evidence of compliance and the action plan. Members agreed to self-assess as ‘green which is fully compliant. SW suggested that public engagement should be considered and that the public are assured that the CCG have robust plans in place. The Governing Body noted and agreed the EPRR self assessment rating and PE will submit to the NHS England Area Team.

3.0 Items for Discussion 3.1 NHS Wirral CCG Response to the Capability and Governance Review & Constitutional Implications JD provided members with an update regarding the NHS England Capability and Governance Review. NHS England’s ‘Capability and Governance Review’ in relation to NHS Wirral CCG has made a number of key recommendations and these have been fully accepted by the CCG. As a result, a high level action plan has been developed in response and this is included here together with the Review summary issued by NHS England. A number of the recommendations directly relate to the CCG’s constitution and a significant degree of change is required to that document to address the concerns highlighted by the Review. In line with the guidance from NHS England entitled ‘Procedures for Clinical Commissioning Group Constitution Change, Merger or Dissolution’ (May 2013), the CCG has an opportunity to update its constitution at two yearly submission dates and is currently aiming to submit a revised constitution at the next submission date in November 2014. The report presents an overview of proposed key changes to the constitution in response to the Review and it is envisaged that the full revised constitution will be presented to November 2014 Governing Body. Recommendations aimed at strengthening the CCG and addressing the issues raised include:
• To improve its leadership and development of the whole system strategy • To improve its delivery of A&E and urgent care • To improve relationships with stakeholders
Minutes of the WCCG –Governing Body Meeting – PUBLIC SESSION – 7th October 2014 Page 4 of 8
Ref No. Minute • To improve its Governing Body capability • To improve governance • To improve its senior leadership capability
The CCG has developed a high level action plan that addresses each of these recommendations and also acknowledges that the CCG has already made significant progress in these areas. Next steps A more detailed action plan, with timescales, will be developed and the process for amending the CCG constitution will continue in line with NHS England guidance. The Governing Body were asked to note the action plan in response to the recommendation of the ‘Capability and Governance Review’. Constitutional Implications JD gave an overview of the proposed amendments to the CCGs constitution. The purpose of the report is to outline the constitutional implications arising from the Capability and Governance Review. In addressing the fundamental problems resulting from the consortia and governance arrangements highlighted by the review, there are number of areas that require immediate change:
• Methods for determining clinical leaders • Governing Body Composition • Membership and clinical engagement methods • Governance arrangements
In addition to the evidence provided from the CCG 360 degree survey, LMC survey of members and the review itself, the CCG has utilised a number of sources to inform the amendments
• Other ‘best practice’ constitutions • NHS England advice • Member practice engagement events • GP Consortia forums • Patient Forums • Local Medical Committee • CCG staff briefings and feedback
The constitutional amendments are a result of careful and considerate engagement and reflective of the urgent need for change. It is now recommended that these are incorporated into a revised constitution for consideration by the CCG Governing Body and submission to NHS England. JD gave thanks to Governing Body members and the LMC for their work in supporting the direction of travel of the CCG. GH commented positively on the features of the proposed constitution and highlighted the importance of engaging in new ways of working. AA commented on how comprehensive the proposed amendments are and that there had been compromise to incorporate differing member practice views. He sought clarity as how the CCG could ensure member practices are assured that all appointment and election processes that are carried out are open, fair and transparent. JD assured AA that the CCG would be open and collaborative in these processes. AA concluded that the prime objective is to be successful and that the CCG would receive his full support. JO also stated that the proposals represented a

Ref No. Minute good compromise of member views. SWe agreed with AA and stated that there is evidence that concerns that have been raised have been listened to; however the CCG will support those seeking for further support and consultation. RW thanked the CCG for their recent level of engagement with LMC and how the amendments to the constitution are being received by its members. HM commented on the robust processes of appointments and the transparent nature required to fulfil these. SW informed members of comments made by James Kay and sought clarity as to how GP practices vote for Governing Body members. He went on to suggest how the CCG need to communicate to its patients on a wider perspective in relation to any amendments made to the constitution. PN clarified the voting process for members. DJ commented on how practices need to be considered in the involvement of developing the future of the CCG on an on-going basis. JD reiterated the need for strong governance mechanisms and how the CCG can help members understand the election, voting and appointment processes. JD reminded members that NHS England will be required to ‘assure’ the process. PN thanked the management team and the LMC for their work and gave thanks to JD for his work and support. The Governing Body supported the proposed direction of travel of the CCG.

NHS Wirral CCG
Continuing Healthcare provision Background
1. When the CCG was established in April 2013 it determined that a CHC service would be commissioned from the Commissioning Support Unit (CSU) as part of a wider Service Level Agreement covering a full range of support functions (e.g. Finance, Business Intelligence, Contracting etc). The service specification agreed, encompasses all aspects of a CHC service and is described by the CSU as an “end to end service”, meaning the CCG should only expect to have minimal involvement in operational and managerial aspects of the day to day delivery of the service.
2. It became clear during 2013 that increasing instances of operational and managerial issues were being presented to the CCG to resolve. It was also clear that processes for requesting funding authorisation for high cost packages or increases to existing packages of care, appeared un-co-ordinated, reactive and rushed, resulting in pressure on the CCG to approve high value cost proposals without a reasonable time to seek assurances that the proposals represented value for money and that all procurement options had been considered in determining the care package costs.
3. The CCG established a monthly CHC Forum as a means of enabling the
opportunity for the CSU provider colleagues to meet with the commissioner and discuss operational matters, planning considerations for changes in CHC payment rates; focus on greater explanation on processes used and improving knowledge about joint funded care packages developed in conjunction with Wirral Department of Adult Social Services.
4. As part of the current interim management arrangements within the CCG, the
interim Chief Operating Officer reviewed the current level of complaints received to-date on CHC-related issues. She identified serious failings in both the delay in responses and the overall content quality of responses, when finally provided to complainants. To-date, two complainants have written to the Parliamentary Health Ombudsman as a result of dissatisfaction with their responses.
Introduction
5. This paper updates Governing Body on recent key operational decisions taken by the management team to attempt to address current service matters and follows on from the issue identified in the Quality, Performance & Finance Committee on 26th August 2014 and subsequently included in the CSU Service Level Agreement update provided to Governing Body meeting on 2nd September 2014.
Produced by Iain Stewart, Chief Officer, Commissioning Lead for Continuing Healthcare
Current Issues identified
6. On 21st August 2014, the CCG met with senior managers from the CSU to discuss a range of concerns regarding the current service delivery and requested an action plan from the CSU. Key concerns were;
- Backlog of annual reviews (which increases the risk of safeguarding matters arising due to lack of updated clinical assessment and financial implications of care package costs)
- Performance reporting not adequate to inform the commissioner of key aspects of the service
- Speed of response in relation to patient queries about CHC eligibility decision-making and subsequent quality of complaint response letter content.
In response the CSU has provided an outline action plan to address the areas of concern raised (see Appendix 1).
7. A Due Diligence Review of the existing service has been completed on behalf
of the CCG (as part of a wider commission of work in conjunction with the Cheshire CCGs) and highlights a general failure to deliver the service in line with the service standards expected locally and nationally.
8. The CCG, along with the Cheshire CCGs has taken the decision to withdraw this service from the CSU on the basis of a failure to deliver the service in line with the agreed specification. Further concerns relate to the nature of complaints received from members of the public and timeliness of monitoring of care being received. A notice of service failure letter was sent to the CSU on 16th September 2014 (Appendix 2 refers).
9. The CCG continues to hold the CSU to account for on-going delivery of the
current service.
10. The Governing Body is asked to note the operational decision taken by the management team.

Phase 1 : Scope of work
Five CCGs across Cheshire and Wirral are looking to develop a new service delivery model for the management of ConOnuing Healthcare, Complex Care, Funded Nursing Care and Quality and Safeguarding. These CCGs include South Cheshire CCG, Vale Royal CCG, Eastern Cheshire CCG, Western Cheshire CCG and Wirral CCG. NoOce has been served on the current provider of these services – Cheshire and Merseyside Commissioning Support Unit (CMCSU) – to transfer the following services to the CCGs by the end of January 2015:-‐ • CHC, FNC and Complex Care clinical and administraOve
service • Quality and Safeguarding service There are 2 phases to the work: • Phase 1: to stabilise the service and manage the transfer of
the exisOng CHC, FNC, complex care, Quality and safeguarding service -‐ including workforce -‐ from the CSU to the host CCG by end of January 2015
• Phase 2: Re-‐design and overseeing delivery of the iniOal CHC service transformaOon
Phase 1 deliverables are: 1. Leading the safe transfer of the nursing and supporOng
administraOve teams for CHC, FNC, Complex Care and Quality and Safeguarding service to the new host CCG
2. Leading the strategic and operaOonal transfer of these services with a target date of end of January 2015
3. Develop and oversee governance arrangements, including a clearly idenOfied project plan, to deliver the transfer which includes some, but not all, of the required support services to the team
3
The Phase 1 objecOve is to ensure the effecOve transiOon of the CHC, FNC and Complex Care service from the CSU to CCGs by 31 January 2015 This proposal sets out the following:-‐ v Scope of work to
be provided v High level plan v Resources and
budget v Commercial
details The scope of this proposal is the transfer of clinical locality based staff. Central CSU teams, contracOng, finance and procurement will be addressed during 2015/16 (Phase 2)
4. Leading the idenOfied Programme team and nominated resources from CCG’s and CSU available to help with this transfer.
From the findings of the Due Diligence Report and Workforce Reports as part of Stage 1: Diagnosis; we have developed this proposal with the acOviOes, Omescales, costs and resource support required to ensure the safe transiOon of the service by the date specified. Given the imminent Omescales and scale of the transiOon and risk miOgaOon required, a swiF decision on moving forward by the CCG’s is strongly recommended.

Phase 1: Stages required to ‘liF and shiF’ and ensure an effecOve transiOon We have significant experience in managing service transiOons across organisaOons. The model we adopt concentrates on four stages in order to manage successful transiOons. Stage 1 is criOcal and provides the baseline from which the transiOon to the proposed operaOng model for the CCG’s can be delivered – this is now complete. This proposal concentrates on detailing the acOviOes to be undertaken within Stages 2, 3 and 4 whilst providing an indicaOon of how this will link to the subsequent phase 2 for implementaOon during 15/16. These were the key acOviOes within each of the 4 stages in Phase 1 from our original proposal. Based on the Stage 1 : Diagnosis findings, the acOviOes required to ensure a smooth transiOon have been detailed further and a high level plan produced in the slides overleaf.
Stage 1 – Diagnose Understand what we have now
(due diligence review)
• Review current scope of the CHC and Complex Care service and idenOfy acOviOes to transfer and those excluded • Undertake an assessment of current ‘actual’ performance – assessed against service KPI’s • Undertake workforce review and producOvity assessment • IdenOfy key risks and issues • Work with the CCGs and CSU to idenOfy all direct and in direct staff affected by the transiOon to inform the TUPE/consultaOon process • Provide a high level current state finance posiOon • Assess current levels of demand across all CCGs within scope • Assess current rate of referrals across all CCGs within scope • Review current contracts and highlight any issues or risks in relaOon to the ‘liF and shiF’ transiOon phase
Stage 2 – TransiOon Developing the CCG transiOon
model & designing the transiOon plan
• Work with the CCGs to define the CCG operaOng model • Build upon the current state diagnosOcs to idenOfy gaps between the current and transiOonal model • Work with the CCGs and CSU to design the end to end transiOon process • Provide detailed plans to ensure a smooth transfer of service
Stage 3 – Deliver Delivering the transi=on
• Work with the CCGs and CSU to implement the transiOon plans • Undertaken transiOonal service re-‐design to miOgate risks idenOfied from the Due Diligence Review and Workforce Review.
Stage 4 – Demonstrate Ensuring pa=ent services are maintained, adhere to quality standards and are responsive
• Develop performance dashboard to measure quanOtaOve and qualitaOve outputs • Establish mechanisms for measuring paOent outcomes and provider levels of care

Stages 2, 3 & 4 : Scope of work To manage the transfer of the exisOng CHC, FNC and complex care service -‐ including workforce -‐ from the CSU to the host CCG by end of January 2015
Phase 1 Stage 1 : Diagnosis – Complete Stage 2 : Design Based on the outcomes of the diagnosis stage, we recommend the following workstreams are implemented within the scope of Stage 2: 1. Advisory support to the HR / TUPE process and exit
management plan to ensure the transfer of staff into the host CCG by 31st January 2015
2. CCG-‐led CHC OperaMng Model, Commercial Arrangements

immediate areas of risk (Due Diligence Report) b) Workforce Redesign (Workforce Report) c) Service Re-‐design: Immediate opportuniOes for improvement,
streamlining and efficiency for delivery from Day 1 of the transfer
All the workstreams will have strong interdependencies and criOcal path acOviOes which require robust project managing and control. The exisOng CCG governance arrangements will require acOve parOcipaOon from all CCG’s, effecOve decision making and leadership support to enable a smooth transfer.

The Phase 1 objecOve is to ensure the effecOve transiOon of the CHC, FNC and Complex Care service from the CSU to CCGs by 31 January 2015 Stage 2 will focus on designing the service upon transfer into the CCG’s, service stabilisaOon and miOgaOng the risks idenOfied, undertaking service redesign, producing a business case, managing the TUPE process and providing clarity to staff There are 4 proposed workstreams, all of which require a robust plan which is acOvely managed and progress tracked against
Stage 3: Deliver Timescales dictate that the TUPE process needs to commence and unlike the other workstreams in Stage 2, this process will need to run in parallel as other Stage 2 acOviOes are undertaken. Engagement, consultaOon will be key elements of Stages 2 and 3; requiring leadership sponsorship and direcOon from the CCG’s

Preference would be to engage with key CHC staff in CHC service redesign at an operaOonal and tacOcal level through a series of focused workshops (dependent on approval by the CSU)
Workforce Redesign will be carried out through a series of individual discussions, workshops and focus groups. Specific emphasis will be given to Specialist Staff who currently provide a service across a wider footprint where a firm knowledge of the volumes of acOvity, complexity of the workload, locality specific pressures and challenges will be drawn out.
Structured discussions and facilitated workshop with CCG’s

Service StabilisaOon & Service Redesign Workforce Redesign
Based on the findings from the Workforce Report, it is proposed to focus on 3 main aspects:
1. Detailed survey of current acMvity • This will deliver a more detailed and reliable acOvity set upon
which to base the workforce requirements plan. It is a 2 week survey which will be designed with the staff to ensure ownership. The quesOonnaire will include specific apenOon provided to Specialist Staff, volumes of work, footprint areas, specific locality challenges
• Pilot and amend • Launch and support • Analysis and write up
2. QualitaMve redesign • AcOvity and process analysis from iniOal referral through to
package insOgaOon and reviews • Current staff acOvity mapping of each staff grade, including
administraOve staff. All acOviOes are then listed and mapped against three categories:-‐
• (i) professional – only a registered nurse can undertake these acOviOes
• (ii) support – those which are both convenOonally, and by redesign, administraOve funcOons
• (iii) discreOonary – acOviOes which have tradiOonally or by default or lack of support have been performed by registered nurses, but given increased competence via specific training a non-‐registered person could and indeed should undertake these tasks
• A root and branch review and recommendaOons in the shiF of acOviOes to reflect a more modern workforce design and address current imbalances in acOvity
• Staffing role redesigns mapped to grade and staff group to derive an opOmal grade structure
9
A fundamental area of the DiagnosOc stage was the Workforce Report. Given the limited data available on staff roles, performance, producOvity; assessment of overall capacity of the service requires further informaOon before extra CHC resources are deployed. This will be the iniOal priority, which will then feed into a Workforce Redesign and the Plan to deliver the agreed changes.
3. Workforce plan For each of the 5 CCGs we will produce a bespoke workforce plan that sets out workload to staffing parameters. This will include requirements of staffing establishments against each of the grades, providing the populaOon and appropriate acOvity levels. This will cover both permanent workforce and fixed-‐term / temporary workforce (for example addressing backlog reviews etc). Other deliverables include:-‐ • Agree producOvity, throughput performance levels • Model staffing requirements using re-‐designed roles • RecommendaOons on staff role development/training • ImplementaOon plan

Breakdown of Stage 2: Design Key acOviOes and deliverables
Key AcMviMes
Stage 2 will focus on suppor=ng the delivery of the HR Consulta=on plan and the role of the incoming organisa=on, mi=ga=ng the risks iden=fied, and undertaking ini=al service redesign. Based on the outcomes of the diagnosis stage, we recommend the following workstreams are implemented within the scope of Stage 2:
1. Advisory support to the HR TUPE ConsultaOon process and exit management plan regarding the transfer of staff into CCG’s
2. CCG-‐led CHC OperaOng Model, Commercial Arrangements & Financial PosiOon
(stranded costs). In-‐house CCG financial model to be developed by CCGs.
3. Service StabilisaOon & Service Re-‐design : a) Service stabilisaOon, establishing a stable state and miOgaOng immediate areas
of risk (Due Diligence Report) b) Workforce Redesign (Workforce Report) c) Immediate opportuniOes for improvement, streamlining and efficiency for
delivery from Day 1 of the transfer
All the workstreams will have strong interdependencies and criOcal path acOviOes which require robust project managing and control. The exisOng CCG governance arrangements will require acOve parOcipaOon from all CCG’s, effecOve decision making and leadership support to enable a smooth transfer.

Lead Officer: Jon Develing, Interim Accountable Officer
Contributors: Anna Rigby, Vision 2018 Programme Manager Terry Whalley, Project Director, North West Leadership Academy Lesley Doherty, Interim Assistant Accountable Officer
Governance: Link to Commissioning Strategy
The Vision 2018 programme is based on the CCG Operational and Strategic Plans.
Link to current strategic objectives
1 Prevent people from dying prematurely 2 Enhance the quality of life for people with long term conditions 3 Helping people to recover from episodes of ill health or following injury 4 Ensuring people have a positive experience of care 5 Ensuring people are treated and cared for in a safe environment and protected from avoidable harm
Summary: The paper describes the progress to date in regards to; • the review of Vision 2018 governance arrangements and programme
structure and priorities; • the case for change describing the size of the financial challenge and
population need; • and the development of the next steps for implementing change.
Recommendation:
To Approve
To Note X
Comments
The members of the Governing Body are asked to: • to note the progress of the development of Vision 2018 • to provide feedback to the Strategic Leadership Group
regarding progress to date and next steps
Next Steps:
The next steps of Vision 2018 are highlighted in the paper and summarised below
• Continuing to ensure that there are clear links Vision 2018 projects and the commissioning process
• Establishing frameworks to enable the Fast 5 projects to be implemented quickly and efficiently so that the benefits can be maximised
• Developing plans for the Big 5 projects detailing how they will be designed and how changes can be made over the coming years (eg using a value stream analysis approach to identify options to redesign the current system for unplanned care establishing the short term and long term benefits and the timescales for proposed changes)
• Continuing to review capacity in the Programme Management Office to ensure that there is sufficient resource to deliver Vision 2018 effectively in the timescales necessary.
Wirral CCG Governing Body 02.12.2014 2/4
This section is an assessment of the impact of the proposal/item. As such, it identifies the significant risks, issues and exceptions against the identified areas. Each area must contain sufficient (written in full sentences) but succinct information to allow the Board to make informed decisions. It should also make reference to the impact on the proposal/item if the Board rejects the recommended decision. What are the implications for the following (please state if not applicable): Financial
The financial challenge for the health and social care system is outlined in this paper. Without the partnership approach and reaching an agreed solution to the financial challenge via Vision 2018, there is a risk of cumulative financial pressures to the health and social care economy and consequently poorer health and social care outcomes to Wirral residents.
Value For Money Each of the projects within Vision 2018 is required to complete cost benefit analysis as part of the Project Outline Document and then depending on the type of project will require further financial assessment and tracking.
Risk The update paper does not detail the current risks of the programme, a risk register is held by the Programme Management Office and escalated to the Implementation Group and Strategic Leadership group as appropriate.
Legal There are processes in place to ensure that both Local Authority and NHS statutory duties e.g. the Public Sector Equality Duty are met in the implementation and delivery of Vision 2018.
Workforce The update paper does not detail the workforce implications of the Vision 2018 Programme, however this is being addressed by the Communications and Workforce Workstream.
Equality & Human Rights
Each individual project within Vision 2018 will assess equality implications as necessary. In the Vision 2018 Project Documentation the stakeholder analysis prompts the project managers to plan the necessary engagement activity and if significant change to a protected group a project manager must complete a Equality Impact Assessment to ensure Public Sector Equality Duty is met.
Patient and Public Involvement (PPI)
In the development of the Vision 2018 Programme we are undertaking a number of methods of engagement in order to encourage participation of local residents. A key principle of the engagement process is to ensure that it is undertaken in a co-design approach where models of care are designed with staff, service users and carers to ensure they meet the needs of the population, achieving the strategic outcomes. The requirement for any formal consultations will be considered and agreed for each individual project. Following the initial launch event the ‘Engagement with People Group’ has been established to ensure that we are involving all Wirral communities with Vision 2018. The group includes traditionally under-represented groups of all ages (including those identified in the 2010 Equalities Act as being most risk of discrimination). It is utilised to develop the engagement strategy for Vision 2018 as well as being a ‘sounding board’ to focus test publicity and the programmes/project outcomes and a cascade mechanism to engage with the wider stakeholders that the group represents.
Partnership Working
The Vision 2018 Strategic Leadership Group consists of Executive Leaders including the key partners across the Wirral Health and Social Care economy, with additional key stakeholders represented in the workstreams.

1. Vision 2018 Context Vision 2018 is the plan to re-shape health services and social care in Wirral, whilst supporting people to take more responsibility for looking after their own health. Over the next 20 years, the number of people who are aged 85 or over will more than double, meaning many more people with multiple, long term health conditions and increased financial pressures. However the challenges also present opportunities. Vision 2018 will transform GP, primary care, community health, hospital and social care services in Wirral. It will mean:
• Community based health services (e.g. access to GPs, community nurses and social workers) seven days a week • More hospital services in the community, with consultant led teams • Health and social care professionals working together for people with on-going needs: one assessment, one
care plan, one key coordinator • Specialist in-patient hospital care for those that need it • Support for people to look after themselves and stay healthy
We are developing a Vision 2018 Strategy to outline the case for change, to describe the vision for Wirral health and social care economy and how this will be achieved. We have established a new shape to Vision 2018 which allows us to focus our efforts on 3 key programmes of work; Planned Care, Unplanned Care and Long Term Conditions and Complex needs (Appendix B). We also have a number of enabling programmes, for example Integration Adults, which focuses on the development of integrated teams, services and systems to provide coordinated care for people aged over 18. For the full programme structure see Appendix A. We have done more work to ensure we have really clear strategic outcomes defined for Vision 2018; these have been informed by local evidence base and national drivers including the Better Care Fund aims and objectives (Section 6 – Strategic Outcomes). Each of the programmes are developing a detailed definition of scope to ensure its aims and objectives are linked back to these strategic outcomes. This will enable a clear description of how those programmes will enable benefits that will ultimately improve health outcomes for the people of Wirral together with their experience of health care. At the same time, balancing quality and value to improve the efficiency of services delivered will be the third major consideration for each programme. As part of a series of 30 day challenges each of the programmes are identifying the projects that can be done quickly to start to make a real difference in 2015 i.e. ‘the Fast 5 projects’ along with those bigger, transformational projects that will need further planning ‘the Big 5 projects’. It is important that we balance the need to re-imagine health and wellbeing in 2018 and consider how best we achieve this future state vision with the need to make real and practical improvements to the services we have today. It is this balance that the Vision 2018 team is now focused on achieving. 2. Governance The Vision 2018 Strategic Leadership Group (SLG) is made up of the Chief Executives from NHS Providers and Commissioners along with equivalent Stakeholders from Local Authority. The SLG recognises that there exists already a Health Economy governance framework; the Health and Wellbeing Board and the Joint Strategic Commissioning Group, there are also respective Provider and Commissioner Boards or similar Governance Arrangements. In no way shape or form is any proposed governance arrangement for Vision 2018 intended to replace or interfere with any of these established governance models.
4
Rather, the Vision 2018 SLG is seeking to establish the best way to integrate decision making within the context of Vision 2018 into this broader established framework, the desired outcome being an appropriate balance of pace and rigour to enable safe but rapid progress to be made meeting the challenges this health economy faces. It is proposed therefore that respective organisations’ Boards delegate through their Chief Executive some level of decision making authority to enable the SLG to take certain decisions in a more timely fashion, but at the same time provide clarity on the expectations each Board has for when their CEOs will refer back to their Boards. It is also proposed that the Implementation Group, on behalf of the SLG, provides recommendations to the Commissioners on matters which affect Commissioning, contracts and use of Better Care Fund (Figure 1). If this is done, and done effectively, there is increased probability that the organisations can become better performing collaborators in defining solution options for Wirral’s Health and Social Care Economy, and that an effective delivery and tracking mechanism can be wrapped around the whole transformation agenda to ensure a joined up approach, informed decision making, robust benefits and costs management plus effective dependency and risk management. There will need to be different ‘checkpoints’ during the development and implementation of the projects within Vision 2018 and to ensure that the governance model enables faster projects to be implemented quickly whilst ensuring that that they align to the longer term vision and principles of the individual organisations. There are four scenarios that have been developed to described how the governance model will be applied to 1) Faster projects 2) Bigger Projects 3) Commissioner Led Projects and 4) ‘Other’ non contractual projects (Appendix D). Figure 1: Proposed Governance Structure

3. Strategic Leadership Group Terms of Reference Role/Purpose
• To be accountable for delivering a sustainable Wirral Health and Social Care Economy
Tasks • To agree the strategy and implications of this • To agree the processes and resources for delivery • To steer the implementation group • To enable delivery/resolution of issues • To resolve conflict/issues
Interfaces
• Health and Wellbeing Board (the Strategic Leadership Group will report to the Health and Wellbeing Board) • Wirral Joint Strategic Commissioning Group (this group also reports directly to the Health and Wellbeing
Board) • Strategic planning for each organisation needs to link in with the development of the Vision 2018 strategy • Organisational Boards to be informed and updated by members of the Strategic Leadership Group • Implementation Group (this group will report to the Strategic Leadership Group), the Implementation Group
Chair will be a member of the SLG to provide a link. Governance and Accountability The Strategic Leadership Group (SLG) will be accountable for delivering a sustainable Wirral Health and Social Care Economy. It will hold the Implementation Group to account to lead and manage the successful delivery of the strategy. The Implementation Group (IG) will hold the programmes identified below to account to organise and manage the delivery of the goals and objectives assigned to the programme of work/enabling groups. The Strategic Leadership Group will report its progress to Health and Wellbeing Board. The Programme Management Office (PMO), hosted by the CCG, will support the Implementation Group in organising and managing programme development and delivery, providing a central function for the programme in collating and reporting overall status. The programmes will report progress to the Implementation Group on a monthly basis and exceptions and risks to the Strategic Leadership Group. The members of the group, through the Memorandum of Understanding, will also hold each other to account for delivery of agreed objectives and ensuring each partner contributes appropriately to overall vision and aims. The SLG, while appropriately empowered by respective organisations to take decisions with delegated limits, will nonetheless ensure that assurance is provided back to respective Boards and to the Health and Wellbeing Board and Joint Strategic Commissioning Group as to those decisions, and will refer recommendations to those Boards when limits of decision making are reached. This mechanism will maximise the opportunity for effective collaboration while eliminating the risk of collusion.

5. The Case for Change We know from our planning that the demand for health and social care will be increasing against a background of reducing resources across all organisations. In this context, we need to transform the way we provide health and social care, to ensure we are working as efficiently as possible, and we will need services that empower patients to manage their health and wellbeing. People will need to share in the decision-making process about themselves and their care and support. The interactions between community, residential and hospital services will be improved, with care delivered through integrated services 7 days a week that are joined up around the needs of patients. This integrated care will be provided across the community, bringing specialised care and treatment (when appropriate) into community settings near patients’ homes, to enable the right care to be provided at the right time and the right place, with patients supported to self-care as appropriate. These changes will implemented between now and 2018, and the model of care will be co-developed with the public and staff to ensure it meets the needs of the Wirral population, with the right capacity and balance across the community, residential and hospital services. A piece of work has been undertaken which models the scale of the challenge faced by Wirral Health Economy, the ‘Shape Change Analysis’. This piece of work requires further validation in the coming months however shows a potential gap of around £150m given forecast of cost pressures and assumptions around funding growth (Figure 2). This is an unprecedented position, and we need to reimagine how health and wellbeing is delivered and consider making assumptions about the scale of change required. Figure 2: The challenge facing the system
Alongside the financial pressures, the demand for local services is increasing. Wirral’s overall population is projected to increase by 1.4% from 319,863 in 2011 to 324,226 in 2021. The older population (aged 65 years and above) are
400,000,000
500,000,000
600,000,000

expected to increase at the fastest rate, with an 18% increase projected by 2021. They are also more likely to have a long term condition; the 2011 Census reported about 36,000 (57%) people living in Wirral aged 65 years and over have a long term condition or disability that limits their daily activities. The health outcomes of Wirral residents vary depending on the area of Wirral in which they live, which has an impact on the health inequalities across the population. Due to the size of the gap and the needs of the population changing there is a need to reimagine health and social care and make transformational changes that will create a new health and social care system to improve health outcomes, patient and service user experience and value for money (Figure 3). Figure 3: A significant change in approach
In addition to continuing with traditional incremental change (Cost Improvement Programmes (CIP) based on current operating models), the transformational change that we will need to make begins with managing the demand on services e.g. via prevention, referral management, integrated care. Then, making sure that of those people who do require services that they are provided with the right care in the right setting and finally a focus on the efficiency is needed to ensure the pathways are delivered in the most efficient way (Figure 4). As much of the evidence base is focused on efficiency rather than managing demand and right care right setting it is necessary for us to create some high level assumptions of how we can change the health and social care system in a different way.

6. Strategic Outcomes To provide some further guidance to colleagues working on Vision 2018, and to ensure we have the right focus on patient safety and quality in addition to the financials, we have identified three guiding principles that underpin the scope of work within Vision 2018;
1. We will improve Health and Wellbeing outcomes 2. We will improve patients’ and service users’ experience 3. We will reduce the cost of health and social care
Figure 5: Outcomes Pyramid These guiding principles, the ‘triple aim’ have then been further defined in a set of Strategic Outcomes that we are striving to achieve through Vision 2018. Some of these are highly aspirational and ambitious, but they serve as a goal that all programme objectives and benefits should directly link back to. Taking this approach will ensure that the deliverables at project level will be demonstrably and directly linked back to one or more of the triple aims. The Strategic Outcomes defined are listed below.
Defined at Project Level by any programme these are the things that enable benefits to be realised or objectives to be met, which in turn contribute to the Vision 2018 Strategic Outcomes

Table 1: Vision 2018 Strategic Outcomes
Vision 2018 Strategic Outcomes 1 We deliver the right care in the right place at the right time. First time and every time. 2 We deliver an improved health and wellbeing experience to all patients, service users and carers, in all health, community
and social care settings 3 We reduce the frequency and necessity for emergency admissions and for care in hospital, residential and nursing home
settings 4 We enable more people to access appropriate and effective services closer to home 5 We improve health and social care outcomes in early years to improve school readiness 6 We enable more people to live independently at home for longer 7 We improve the health and social care related quality of life for people with more than one long term condition,
physiological and/or psychological 8 We increase collaboration and effective joint working between health and social care partners 9 We improve the satisfaction levels for our workforce colleagues across all health, community and social care settings 10 We improve the end of life experience for individuals and their carers. 11 We are better able to prevent ill health and diagnose conditions quickly thereby reducing the burden on treatment
facilities 12 We enable people to live longer, healthier lives 13 We reduce the cost of health and social care while maintaining balance of quality and value 14 We ensure equal and fair access to clinically appropriate services for everyone on the Wirral 15 We will reduce health inequalities so that all Wirral’s residents can expect and receive the same health and wellbeing
opportunities

7. Programme Scopes Each of the programmes are developing a detailed definition of scope to ensure its aims and objectives are linked back to these strategic outcomes. This will enable a clear description of how those programmes will enable benefits that will ultimately improve health outcomes for the people of Wirral together with their experience of health care. At the same time, balancing quality and value to improve the efficiency of services delivered will be the third major consideration for each programme. The programmes are identifying the projects that can be done quickly to start to make a real difference in 2015 i.e. ‘the Fast 5 projects’ along with those bigger, transformational projects that will need further planning ‘the Big 5 projects’. The Programme Managers are using a checklist to identify if their project is faster or bigger (Appendix E). The existing projects and evidence base including Better Care Fund schemes and Quality, Innovation, Productivity and Prevention (QIPP) initiatives are being incorporated into this work to enable a coherent view and governance over all change projects across the system.
Figure 6: Hexagon ‘Deep Dive’ model
For the Big 5 projects a Hexagon ‘Deep Dive’ model for data collection is being used to develop a more detailed view of the current model/pathway and opportunities for improvement prior to developing a future state service model with staff, patients and carers (Figure 6). Some initial examples of the Big 5 and Fast 5 projects for the Lead Programmes are in Figure 7. The next step is to implement the Faster projects identified below and for the Bigger projects to initially focus on a couple that will have the biggest impact such as ‘Unplanned care system redesign’ and ‘Respiratory’. For these Bigger projects a focused approach would be undertaken to identify opportunities to transform models of care in these areas of work and establish the short term and longer term benefits.

8. Current Position and Next Steps
As part of the review of Vision 2018 a programme methodology has been developed (Figure 8) that is based upon Public Sector Programme Management Approach. There are five distinct phases each broken into key steps and can be used across all Vision 2018 programmes or individual projects. The current position of the Vision 2018 programme in is at the initiation phase and depending on the pace and complexity of individual programmes and projects within Vision 2018 the speed at which they progress will differ. Figure 8: Programme Methodology Progress to date: Review and Initiate Phase The paper has indicated the progress to date in regards to the review of Vision 2018 governance arrangements and Programme structure and priorities. This has enabled the baseline quantum of change required (£) to enable sustainable health and social care economy between now and 18/19 and a consensus on the Strategic Outcomes. An alignment exercise of all Better Care Fund and QIPP initiatives and along with this strategic direction has informed the development of initial programme plans for each area, identifying co-dependencies and benefits that link back to the endorsed strategic outcomes. It has also led to initial ideas of the ‘Faster’ and ‘Bigger’ Projects that aim to deliver the benefits. Next steps: Define, Design and Implement Phase The next steps are as follows (see timeline in Appendix G for more information):
• Continue the mapping to commissioning intentions and 15/16 contracting round to ensure that the Vision 2018 planning is linked into the Commissioning Cycle.
• Establish rapid cycle testing frameworks for quick wins to enable benefits to be realised at pace (see Appendix D, Scenario 1).
• Establish plans for delivering bigger initiatives for delivery during 2015/16 to follow a methodology to enable transformational change and clarity on the outputs that will be realised.
• Undertake a focused approach for Respiratory to identify opportunities to transform models of care in these areas of work and establish the short term and longer term benefits.
• Undertake a focused approach for Unplanned Care System Redesign to identify opportunities to transform models of care in these areas of work and establish the short term and longer term benefits.

• Implement tools and templates to enable the Implementation Group to have a ‘Grip’ on the project planning, so that we can effectively manage delivery, interdependencies, cost and benefit tracking for example see Figure 9.
• Embed the Governance Framework to ensure Programme Directors and Programme Managers have clear checkpoints to report to the Implementation Group and the Strategic Leadership Group so that decision making can be made in a fully informed way by the right people.
• Determine opportunity and right size/capability for a pooled Vision 2018 Change Management Office, and how to align enabling functions ‘supply’ (e.g. workforce management, communications, engagement, finance, business intelligence) with the ‘demand’ from primary and system enabling programmes. This will ensure that there is sufficient resource to form the Vision 2018 strategy and deliver it effectively in the timescales necessary.

Minutes of the WACC Executive Board meeting - Public session – 23rd September 2014 Page 2 of 5
Ref No. Minute An action plan is now in place and is currently being worked through. The Chair advised that there have now been 2 GP’s events held in regards to CCG constitutional changes. At the event held on 9th September at Thornton Hall the main focus was around trust and transparency. Also tabled was the proposed new structure of the CCG, which will reflect the constitutional changes. Some debate also took place around the appointment or election of members. The Chair advised that there will be another GP event being held at Thornton Hall on 1st October to give a further presentation in order to gain views from member practices regarding the constitutional changes. Also planned throughout October are Stakeholder Engagement events including patients and providers. The Chair thanked all the members for their hard work over the last 3 years, with making budget efficiencies in years 1 and 2 and in the last year also being the lowest underspent of the consortia’s, thus proving that being a small consortium has been successful. As well as being influential regarding the capability review and constitutional change. The Chair asked that with today’s meeting not being quorate whether the next schedule meeting on 18th November should be an Informal Board. Also with regards to CWG, the last couple of meetings have had poor attendance and a decision is required as to whether to cancel the next meeting scheduled for 6th November. ACTION: Chief Officer to email Board members with regards to future meetings

2.0 ITEMS FOR INFORMATION 2.1 Quality, Performance and Finance Quality Apologies from the Strategic Analysts had been received. Finance Senior Accountant provided an update to the group with reports detailing the financial position for Wirral Alliance Commissioning Consortium as at the end of July (Month 4) within the 2014/15 financial year. The total budget available to the Alliance consortium for the current year is £48m (compared to £45m last year) showing an increase in budget provision, which is based on a ”fair share” approach (WACC fair share equates to 12.52%) of the overall amount allocated to the consortiums (£385m). The total amount allocated to the CCG is £468m. The Executive Board were asked to note:
• The financial position as at the end of July 2014 • The favourable movement in the month of £547k due to the underperformance at WUTH. • The year to date position from budget variance showing a budget underspends in Acute
contracts £475k, Non acute contracts £193k and Prescribing £39k.
Minutes of the WACC Executive Board meeting - Public session – 23rd September 2014 Page 3 of 5
Ref No. Minute Members of WACC Executive Board noted the finance report. The Chief Officer asked how accurate is the underspend reported? Louise Morris, Senior Accountant advised that the overspend does have an element of growth built into the figures, thus if this element was removed there would be a more accurate figure available. Louise Morris, Senior Accountant also advised that they are about to start a piece of work in relation to budget profiling which looks at each practice and comparing each practice’s budget figures against the previous years The Chair thanked Louise Morris, Senior Accountant for all the hard work and support that has been given to the Alliance. 2.2 CCG Commissioning Plan The Chief Officer updated the group that the final draft plan is going into the October Governing Body Meeting. 2.3 New Primary Care Schemes The Chief Officer advised that the specifications included in the Board pack were for noting by the group. Members noted the specifications.
WACC/EB/ 13-14/0009
3.0 ITEMS FOR DISCUSSION 3.1 WCT 5 Year Business Plan This agenda item was discharged as the meeting was not Quorate. ACTION: The presentation to be circulated with the minutes of the meeting. 3.2 Service Development The Chief Officer updated the group with regards to the Service Development Monies which are available. Following on from the discussions which took place at the Informal board on 7th May, the Chief Officer confirmed that the money which is now available is £120k. There has been a slight reduction in the amount due to a service provision having to be made for 3 practices which had opted out of the Phlebotomy Service provided by the Community Trust. Regarding the remaining amount of £120k, there has to be a robust, evidenced proposal for CCG Approvals Committee on how this money will be used. The Chief Officer put forward a suggestion which is based on a scheme which Warrington CCG is currently piloting, called Guided Care Pilot. The Warrington scheme is piloting guided care plans for those with Long Term Conditions. This allows the practice to put aside one hour for each identified patient who has 3 or more Long Term Conditions in order to review and make sure that their care is co-ordinated, in order to improve the quality of their care. The Chief Officer asked for the thoughts of the group for the service development monies to be put into the practices based on this scheme and therefore run a pilot in conjunction with Warrington CCG. ACTION: The Chief Officer to make further investigations with Warrington CCG to obtain more information about the components of the scheme.

6.0 RISK REGISTER No new risks noted.
7.0 Any other Business HD asked a question with regards to the contract for Trent Wirral PTS. The Chief Officer confirmed that the current Mental Health contract runs out in March 2015 and the CCG is looking at commissioning a new prime provider model, in order for whoever takes on the contract for the whole of Wirral to be able to subcontract other specialist services to provide an integrated service. 2 engagement events have been held in order to bring together all the providers. Through the procurement process this will look at all the data, success rates etc. An invitation to tender was due to go out on 1st October but Kerry Hogan has just returned from maternity leave who will be managing this process, thus this will look to be pushed back a couple of months. HD advised that there is a gateway which is used when dealing with children and social services and you can log into that and this will tell you the pathway for which service you need, could something like this be included in the specification as this is a very good tool. ACTION: The Chief Officer to highlight the details regarding the gateway to Kerry Hogan for inclusion in the specification. Chair thanked members for their attendance and the meeting was closed at 14.15pm

Financial Budget 2014/15 – New Action: A comparison per service has been circulated previously but it was agreed that LM would resend this information to Board members.
1.5 Complaints, Compliments and Patient Feedback Executive Board members were advised that there is nothing specific to report on relating to services commissioned by WGPCC this month. CC agreed to bring meeting a copy of the Healthwatch report that is presented to the Quality & Safety Committee meetings to the next Executive Board.
WGPCC/EB/ 14-15/014
2.1 Wirral CCG Update Capability and Governance Review Executive Board members were advised that the report following the capability and governance review by NHS England has reported. The report outlines six key findings and six key recommendations together with 24 sub-recommendations. The report was welcomed by the CCG and its recommendations were accepted. The review makes a number of recommendations which focus on the development of a new constitution. The CCG has already made progress on many of the areas highlighted in the report and a more detailed action plan is in development. The support of NHS England to the CCG will continue with Jon Develing, Regional Director of Operations and Delivery (NHS England North) remaining as Interim Accountable Officer so as to oversee the action plan. There have been a number of meetings concerning changes to the constitution at practice level, at divisional level and Wirral-wide. As a division, Wirral GPCC started a discussion with Member Practices at a Members’ meeting in June 2014, after the joint LMC/CCG meeting in May. Paul Edwards, Head of Corporate Affairs, Wirral CCG is attending the next Patient Council meeting on Tuesday 23rd September 2014 to update patient members concerning the review/constitutional change and engagement. Similar meetings will take place in October with the patient groups of the other divisions. The outcome of the constitutional change will have implications for current Board structures and engagement arrangements with practices and patients. The Interim Accountable Officer has offered to visit individual practices and this offer has

already been taken up by at least one of the Wirral GPCC practices. A further offer from the CCG will come for the Interim Chair, accompanied by one of the CCG current GP Board members, to go out to visit Wirral practices. Urgent Care One of the other key recommendations of the review was to improve the delivery of accident and emergency services, and urgent care. The development of an Urgent Care Strategy has been the subject of much effort for some time. The next step towards a joined-up Wirral strategy is a Wirral Urgent Care Conference being held on Thursday 18th September at the Leverhulme Hotel, Port Sunlight. Two representatives per Wirral practice have been invited to attend together with various external stakeholders. The development of a strategy will encompass not only services based at the Arrowe Park Hospital site but also services such as Walk in centres and Minor Illness and Injury units based in the Community. It was confirmed that commissioning of the Minor Injury and Illness services is no longer done at Consortium level, and that budgetary and commissioning responsibility for these has passed to the CCG. At the last Executive Board meeting, members agreed to fund these services from recurrent resources and review this at the end of September 2014. It was confirmed that future commissioning of the Minor Injuries Service at Miriam Medical Centre, Parkfield Medical Centre (Hawthornthwaite) and Moreton Health Clinic will be considered as part of the development of a Wirral strategy. Practice Engagement
In previous years, individual Wirral GPCC practice visits have been undertaken by Dr Oates as Chair and by either the Chief Officer or the Commissioning and Engagement Support Manager. There have also been separate QP Cluster meetings undertaken as part of QOF. For this year, QP meetings are no longer a part of QOF. Wirral GPCC had asked Member Practices at a Members’ meeting if these cluster meetings were helpful and if they should continue; the view at the meeting was that they should. Following this, Cluster meetings are being arranged to replace the individual practice visits. This year, four Cluster meetings between 25th September and 23rd October will be taking place. An invitation had gone out to GP Board members to attend these meetings, but it had now been agreed that the Chair would attend to represent the Board. Practice Schemes Members were advised that the Prescribing Incentive Scheme and the Over 75s and Transforming Primary Care Schemes had been issued to all practices. Joint working to look at urgent demand for home visits is currently being looked at, with the possibility of patients being assessed over the telephone within 15 minutes of a request being received. Part of the transformation scheme is for all practices to develop a plan relating to the above. The practice visits will be a good to start a dialogue in relation to joint working.

4.1 Financial Budget 2014/15
Minutes of the WGPCC Executive Board meeting – 16th September 2014 Page 4 of 6
Ref No. Minute
LM presented the financial position for WGPCC as the end of July (Month 4) within the 2014/15 financial year and advised that the total budget available to the Consortium for the year is £148m. As at the end of July, the year to date position for the Consortium is an overspend of £340k with over performance against commissioning expenditure of £337k and overspend on running costs of £3k. Further detail is included in the three appendices provided within the paper. The performance position in relation to NHS contracts at month 4 shows an overspend of £203k. Contract performance on the WUTH contract shows an overspend of £494k as at July. The Consortia wide position is £669k underspent at month 4). WUTH's current year to date over performance is mainly due to non-elective procedures with a comparison against total consortia variance. Members were advised that the year to date position is based on actual activity as at Month 3. A query was highlighted regarding CWP showing an over performance of £139k. Concern was raised to the overspend as this is a block contract and therefore should not be overspent. CC advised that only ADHD and Asperger’s are cost per case. Action: LM to look into the CWP overspend and report back at the next meeting. At month 4, Non-NHS Contracts are overspent by £64k. Early overperformance shows against Peninsula £151k across all services except audiology and physio, and Midwifery £35k. Budgets are based on actuals from last year for non-NHS contracts. Members were advised that there will be a better understanding next month when further data is available. Consortium budget books for 2014/15 have been issued to practices. Members were advised that the Consortium Budget is £4 million less than last year as a result of application of the new Fair Shares calculation. Wirral GPCC has been the most affected by fair shares due to the shift of weighting away from deprivation and towards the elderly; however, overall there has not been a significant shift for the CCG. The Executive Board noted the financial position for WGPCC as at the end of July 2014.
4.2 Patient Council and Engagement Update Members were informed of the decision by Eddy Shallcross to step down as Chair of the Patient Council. It had been agreed at the last Patient Council meeting that a member of Healthwatch can attend meetings, but would be asked to leave the room when any private business was discussed. Simon Wagener, the Patient Representative from the Wirral CCG Governing Body, advised that he would be happy to attend future Patient Council meetings. Members were advised that Simon Wagener had been very complimentary regarding the WGPCC Patient Council. He feels that it is well run and patients are always given the opportunity to speak. Thanks went to Jordan Lane, Jenny Shaw and Dr John Oates. Members were informed of the death of Harry Parsonage who has been a key member of the Patient Council and Patient Council Executive Board. The first Annual Report of the Patient Council had been included in this meeting pack following
Minutes of the WGPCC Executive Board meeting – 16th September 2014 Page 5 of 6
Ref No. Minute
its submission to the last Patient Council meeting. A Wirral-wide patient group meeting is scheduled to take place on Thursday 23rd October 2014. Patients’ views have been sought and these will form part of the agenda.
4.3 Practice Managers’ Update Practice Managers’ Meetings – Executive Board members were advised that a meeting had taken place between the three Consortia Practice Manager leads to look at the Practice Manager Forum going forward. Assumptions have been made by the Practice Managers that there will be four groups continuing with monthly Forum meetings, with the possibility of bi-annual meetings for all Wirral Practice Managers. A draft plan of this has been set up. Members were advised that this grouping has been based on Parliamentary groups which are in line with the ICCT proposal. Practice Schemes – The question was asked if any feedback had been received from practices following the new practice schemes that had been issued to practices. Nothing had been received to date. Members were advised that the new schemes would be discussed at the Practice Manager Forum on 8th October 2014 within the PLT Event. PA voiced concern that schemes have been introduced so late in the year. Clinical Supplies – Executive Board members raised concern over clinical supplies and members were advised that a meeting between the CCG, Community Trust and the LMC would be taking place and following this meeting, further information would be issued to practices. One member felt it is important to note that a number of practices are subsidising the Phlebotomy service with their own nurses and Health Care Assistants. Members were advised that the changes were as much news to the CCG as they were to practices but steps are being taken to try and resolve the issues.
4.4 Items for Risk Register It was agreed that, should the issue relating to clinical supplies not be resolved in a satisfactory way, this issue would be added to the risk register.
WGPCC/EB/ 14-15/017 5. Any Other Business
Domiciliary Phlebotomy – Members were asked for instances to be shared/collated in order to put a case forward to the Community Trust. External PLT Event – Members were advised that the next PLT event would be taking place on Wednesday 8th October 2014 with just Internal events taking place after that date. The CCG is looking at Wirral-wide training events going forward and is currently working with consultants at the hospital to produce a Wirral-wide training plan. The CCG is looking at running training events in a different way, for example evening sessions will be looked at. Wirral-wide training for all members would only take place where necessary, due to the expense and effect on access of booking Out of Hours cover for the afternoon. Concerns were raised regarding the location of large venues in relation to where some Wirral practices are. Members were advised that there must be a compromise in this; practice views will be sought in the future. It was asked to be noted that all Executive Board GPs are opposed to evening education

sessions, preferring short lunch-time sessions to be arranged. Primary Care Mental Health Service – Executive Board Members were advised that will be a Wirral-wide service in 2015/16, and this is due to go out to tender shortly.
