Minutes of the Governing Body Annual General Meeting
Wednesday 7th September 2016 at 12.30 pm Meetings Room 1 and 2, Blackburn Central Library,
Town Hall Street, Blackburn BB2 1AG
PRESENT: Mr Graham Burgess Chair Dr Chris Clayton Clinical Chief Officer Mr Roger Parr Chief Finance Officer Dr Malcolm Ridgway Clinical Director for Primary Care and Quality Dr Adam Black General Practitioner Executive Member Dr John Randall General Practitioner Executive Member Dr Preeti Shukla General Practitioner Executive Member Mr Paul Hinnigan Lay Member – Governance Dr Nigel Horsfield Lay Member – Clinical Advisor Dr Geraint Jones Lay Member – Secondary Care Doctor (Retired) Mr Dominic Harrison Director of Public Health, Blackburn with Darwen Borough Council (BwD
BC) IN ATTENDANCE: Mr Iain Fletcher Head of Corporate Business Mrs Pauline Milligan Corporate Support Officer Min No: 16.068 Chair’s Welcome
The Chair welcomed everyone to the CCG’s Annual General Meeting (AGM). The Chair stated that this was a very important time of the year for the CCG, as it had to formally account to the public for its actions over the past year and outline its plans for this year. The Chair added that he hoped that those present found the presentations useful and interesting.
16.069 Apologies for Absence and Confirmation of Quoracy Apologies for absence were received from Dr Penny Morris, General Practitioner Executive Member and Vice Chair, Mrs Debbie Nixon, Chief Operating Officer and Dr Zaki Patel, General Practitioner (GP) Executive Member. The meeting was confirmed as quorate.
16.070 Declarations of Interest Relating to Items on the Agenda No declarations of interest were made with regards to items on the agenda.
16.071 Minutes of the Annual General Meeting Held on 28th September 2015 The minutes of the AGM held on 28th September 2015 had been approved as a correct record and ratified by the Governing Body on 4th November 2015.
Subject to approval at the next meeting

RESOLVED: That the minutes of the Annual General Meeting held on 28th September 2015 were noted.
16.072
Review of the Year 2015/16 The Chair commenced the presentation with a brief outline of the CCG’s membership, which consisted of 27 member practices all of whom were part of the CCG’s Clinical Senate. The Chair explained that the practices had been grouped into four localities; namely Blackburn North, Blackburn East, Blackburn West and Darwen. The Chair continued to explain how this was important, in relation to the improvement of the integration of services within those neighbourhoods, along with colleagues in the Local Authority and other public services. The Chair informed the meeting that the Clinical Senate met on a regular basis throughout the year and was attended by all the GP Practices and, on some occasions, by all the GPs. There were some members of the Clinical Senate on the CCG’s Governing Body and, whilst the CCG was accountable to the public, it was also accountable to the membership of the Clinical Senate. The Chair explained that the CCG’s boundaries extended beyond that of the Borough and, whilst the Blackburn with Darwen (BwD) Borough’s population amounted to approximately 146,000; the CCG’s population amounted to approximately 167,000 and included people who live on the periphery of BwD who were registered with its GP Practices. The Chair outlined the social and economic profile of BwD and some of the challenges faced within the Borough in developing local health services. The Chair informed the meeting of the strong history of partnership working between health services and the Local Authority and reminded members of the Government’s plans to fully integrated Health and Social Care Services by 2020. He explained that joined-up working across Health and Social Care Services in the Borough was already well underway and work would continue to advance progress. The Chair stressed the increasing importance of all the CCG’s partnerships; e.g. as the lead commissioner for Mental Health Services; with voluntary and community organisations and the third sector and in its collaborations with organisations across Pennine Lancashire and Lancashire wide. The Chair summarised that the CCG’s partnership working was strong but needed to be developed further to meet the financial challenges faced by the CCG. The Chair provided examples of the CCG’s engagement activities over the last year and how it had strengthened its programme to ensure the improvement of its engagement with the patients and communities it served. In conclusion, the Chair stated that the CCG operated within the CCG Assurance Framework. The framework comprised of five components and in 2015/16 had been rated as follows:
• Well led organisation (good); • Delegated functions (good); • Finance (requires improvement); • Performance (good); • Planning (good).
The Chair explained that the CCG’s overall assurance status was “requires improvement” but this was due to the fact that the CCG had not fully met the 1% financial surplus business rules and had spent all of its available resources.
Page 3 of 6
Questions and answers followed. Dr Chris Clayton continued the presentation with a review of 2015/16 and a look ahead to planning for the future. Dr Clayton outlined key areas and highlighted finance as being a critical area for the NHS. Dr Clayton referred to media reporting of the current financial position of the NHS and reaffirmed the Chair’s earlier comments about the CCG’s financial assurance and its current significance, which had determined the CCG’s overall annual assurance rating. Dr Clayton reminded those present of the CCG’s vision and how its work, in partnership with others, would continue throughout this year. Dr Clayton referred to the statutory responsibilities of the CCG related to:
• CCG Assurance; Dr Clayton provided examples of evidence of the CCG’s assurance:
o the CCG had continue to remain “assured”; o the CCG had recently completed its 360O Stakeholder Survey and was
collating the results; o the CCG had met its objectives related to Equality and Diversity; o there was active staff engagement to support the Sustainable
Development Management Plan; o Dr Clayton had recently received confirmation of “full assurance” on the
CCG’s Better Care Fund Plan; o the CCG had achieved all of its statutory financial duties.
• Annual Review of the CCG’s Constitution;
Dr Clayton reminded those present that the CCG was a membership body made up of its General Practitioner (GP) Practices and explained the importance of regularly reviewing the CCG’s Constitution to ensure that it reflected the changing picture of the NHS. The changes made in October 2015 related to:
o the updated role and responsibilities related to Primary Care Co-commissioning;
o changes to meeting arrangements; o updates related to the appointment/re-appointment process and notice
periods; o updates related to delegated decision making arrangements; o updates related to meeting Terms of Reference.
• Monitoring the CCG’s Performance;
Dr Clayton explained that the performance monitoring of key indicators for health and action with providers of service was a major role of the CCG to ensure that improvements were made where targets were not met. In 2015/16 these related to:
o operational standards for treating 95% of patients within 4 hours at Accident and Emergency (A&E);
o response times for ambulances; o waiting times for cancer diagnosis and treatment; o waiting times for planned treatment.
Dr Clayton continued to reflect on the CCG’s key successes in 2015/16 related to:
• Mental Health; • Primary Care; • Medicines Management; • Integrated Care and Better Care Fund; • Scheduled Care; • Unscheduled Care; • Children and Adolescent Mental Health; • Paediatrics.
Page 4 of 6
Dr Clayton concluded that, as he reflected upon in his presentation, 2015/16 had been a very busy year in which the CCG had achieved a great deal. He invited questions from those present. Questions and answers followed. RESOLVED: That the Governing Body noted the content of the review of the year 2015/16.
16.073
Financial Review 2015/16 Mr Roger Parr introduced himself as the CCG’s Chief Finance Officer and provided an overview of the financial reports for 2015/16. Mr Parr referred to the former presentations and remarked that, as both presentations had referred to the financial aspects of the CCG, this indicated how important issues related to finance currently were within the NHS. Mr Parr presented the 2015/16 financial position of the CCG and thanked the Finance Team, including staff from the Midlands and Lancashire Commissioning Support Unit, for their hard work to ensure that the CCG’s accounts and financial statements were produced in line with national deadlines. The accounts and financial statements had been subjected to scrutiny from the CCG’s appointed External Auditors, Grant Thornton, and the process had been overseen by the CCG’s Audit Committee. The CCG achieved each of its key financial duties in 2015/16: Statutory Duties Target Performance Achieved CCG to remain within its revenue allocation
£241,912k £240,323k Yes
CCG to remain within its running cost allocation
£3,555k £3,473k Yes
Better Payment Practice Code Target Number NHS Payables 95.0% 99.0% Non NHS Payables 95.0% 98.8%
Mr Parr explained that from a total CCG allocation of almost £242m, the CCG spent just over £240m. The CCG’s running costs, which amounted to approximately £22 per head of population, resulted in a slight underspend. Another external target of the CCG was how the CCG paid its invoices in a timely fashion and the CCG had achieved this target. Mr Parr referred to the CCG’s income and expenditure and highlighted the CCG’s surplus for 2015/16 of just under £1.6m against a 1% target surplus. This meant that the CCG missed its target by £0.6m and resulted in the finance component of the assurance framework being rated as ‘requires improvement’. Mr Parr explained that the £1.6m would be returned to the CCG in 2016/17 and the CCG would again be expected to deliver a 1% surplus. Mr Parr outlined investments and developments in 2015/16 in:
• Primary Care Co-Commissioning; • Quality Improvement in Primary Care; • Prime Minister’s Challenge Fund; • Better Care Fund; • Intensive Home Support;
Page 5 of 6
• Mental Health. Mr Parr drew members attention to the CCG’s total spend of £240m, which amounted to £1,413 per head of the GP population and that 52% of the CCG’s total spend was spent within secondary care. Mr Parr continued that the CCG was working to understand different ways of supporting patients outside of a hospital setting. The expenditure per head was spent as follows: Total Spend £240m £1,413 per head % Acute Care £739 52% Primary Care £311 22% Community Based Care £101 8% Mental Health £101 7% Continuing Health Care £53 4% Other £101 7%
Mr Parr outlined hospital activity (the majority of which was at East Lancashire Hospitals NHS Trust) and this equated to:
• 23,109 scheduled care admissions; • 19,800 emergency admissions (54 admissions per day); • 165,532 out-patient attendances (662 attendances per day); • 61,288 A&E attendances (168 average attendances per day) • 1,752 hospital births; • 1,130 cataract operations.
Mr Parr looked to the future and reported that the CCG had allocations notified for the current and next financial year. The CCG had received the national minimum allocation of 3.05% and, therefore, remained under its target allocation by almost 2.5%, i.e. just over £5m; a significant amount. 2016/17 2017/18Programme Allocation £219,522k £224,450kRunning Cost Allocation £3,537k £3,518kPrimary Care Co-Commissioning £23,263k £23,691kTotal Allocation £246,322k £251,659k
Mr Parr explained that, in terms of the 3.05% increase this year, the level of efficiencies required by the CCG’s providers had reduced, i.e. instead of a reduction in prices from the providers the prices had actually increased by approximately 2%. New business rules had been introduced which meant that the CCG had to hold back 1% of its allocation, which would be used to support transformation and sustainability. This had resulted in 3% of the CCG’s allocation being accounted for outside its control, which indicated how challenging it would be for the CCG to reach its financial targets in 2016/17 and 2017/18. Mr Parr outlined the CCG’s investments and developments in 2016/17 related to:
• Primary Care; • Mental Health; • Continuing Health Care; • Learning Disabilities; • Better Care Fund; • 1% Transformation Fund.
Mr Parr concluded his presentation and invited questions on any aspect of the CCG’s finance or anything that had previously been presented. Questions and answers followed.

RESOLVED: That the Governing Body noted the content of the financial review of 2015/16.
16.074 Any Other Business No further business was discussed.
16.075 Closing Remarks The Chair drew the meeting to a close and thanked everyone for their attendance and contribution to the meeting.

CLINICAL COMMISSIONING GROUP (CCG) Minutes of the Governing Body Meeting held on

Q
Questions from Members of the Public The Chair confirmed that there had been a question submitted by a member of the public. My question is can you explain just where you are as Chair of the CCG in creating a policy decision which will prevent and repeated happenings of separating two older people who have lived together for years and both enter hospital and when the hospital treatment has been complete both require Continuing Care but are not placed in separate facilities when they were unable to get to see one another ever again.
Subject to approval at the next meeting

This is I believe the Blackburn with Darwen Council agreed policy about NOT separating couples: Blackburn with Darwen Council Adult Services Policy statement on enabling married and co-habiting couples to reside together where both are in receipt of funded social care outside their domicile Good practice in social care assessment dictates that the needs and wishes of individuals and their partners must always be established and taken into account, including where those assessed are part of a marriage, civil partnership or other long term cohabiting relationship. Unfortunately, there are occasions where couples are split up due to one needing care and support which cannot be provided in their home. This statement refers to situations where both partners require 24-hour care and support in a residential or nursing home. The 1948 United Nations Universal Declaration of Human Rights Article 16 states that:
1. Men and women of full age, without any limitation due to race, nationality or religion, have the right to marry and to found a family. They are entitled to equal rights as to marriage, during marriage and at its dissolution.
2. Marriage shall be entered into only with the free and full consent of the intending spouses.
3. The family is the natural and fundamental group unit of society and is entitled to protection by society and the State
Article 12 of the Human Rights Act (1998) also protects the right of men and women of marriageable age to marry and to start a family. On occasion the Department will arrange and fund social care services for adults or older people who are part of a couple and where both require support in residential or nursing care. It is an integral part of the duty to promote wellbeing of the individuals that we take into account the wishes and the needs of married or cohabiting couples to continue living together once it becomes clear that both require care in a setting such as those named above. Where one or both partners have been assessed as lacking mental capacity within the meaning of the Mental Capacity Act (2005) then a best interest decision/s must be reached in accordance with the established process, and recommendations made accordingly. In the absence of evidence to the contrary, it would normally be assumed that it is in the interests of a couple with long standing relationship to be kept together where there is a care and support environment which can meet both there assessed needs. The CCG has been working with the other 6 CCGs in Lancashire to develop a Choice and Equity policy to support decision making around Continuing Health Care situations. The policy has taken some time to be agreed across 7 CCG governance structures with all the CCGs to ensure a consistent approach. The policy has subsequently been scrutinised by Hill Dickinson Solicitors to ensure it fits legally within current case law and will now be released to stakeholders for consultation for an 8-week period. The policy refers to the fact that the CCG will carefully consider the view of individuals, families and others as appropriate and act on all reasonable requests including keeping couples together where practically possible. The policy has been aligned to both Blackburn with Darwen Borough Council and Lancashire County Council policies. In relation to the CCG specific case I can confirm the following:
• An update on lessons learnt from the case has been received by the CCG Governing Body which highlighted where improvements need to be made;
• The CCG policy regarding Equity and Choice has been developed. However, each case
Page 3 of 8
will still need to be reviewed individually and assessed on merit. The CCG would always put the best interest and safeguarding as significant factors when assessing the level of care for people;
• The CCG has continued discussions with Lancashire Care NHS Foundation Trust
regarding the provision of Community Services to support residents with such complex needs.
The Chair summarised that there had been a case that had caused concern and the CCG Governing Body had received a special report on the case. It had since developed a policy in consultation with appropriate legal advice. The Chair continued that it was now an important part of the process that the policy went through the 8-week consultation period to enable all groups to discuss the content and raise any concerns or challenges.

Matters Arising/Action Matrix Matters Arising There were no Matters Arising which were not listed on the Action Matrix. Action Matrix The Action Matrix was reviewed and the following were noted: Minute 16.005 – Stroke Update This item was deferred until the November meeting at the request of the Chair. Minute 16.047 – Suicide Prevention Strategy It was agreed that a verbal update would be provided to the November meeting.
16.082 Clinical Chief Officer’s Report Dr Chris Clayton presented his report and highlighted key items of national interest. Dr Clayton informed the meeting that the report had been tailored to highlight items mostly of national interest, as local items had been picked up at the Annual General Meeting. Items of note related to:
• Department of Health appointments; • Junior Doctors’ Contract; • Mental Health Fund; • Congenital Heart Disease.
Page 4 of 8
There were no questions. RESOLVED: That the GB noted the content of the report.
16.083 Chief Finance Officer’s Report Mr Roger Parr presented the Financial Summary, which provided details of the CCG’s overall financial position at the end of month 4; period ended 31st July 2016. Mr Parr drew members’ attention to the summary financial position, which indicated that the CCG was reporting a year to date surplus of £592k that was £152k under the year to date planned surplus of £744k. The CCG aimed to deliver its 1% surplus at year-end of £2,232K. Mr Parr reported that the main risks related to the continued increase in demand around activity in acute services and Continuing Healthcare. Mr Parr highlighted a current piece of work, which focused on reducing and eliminating prescribing waste. Mr Parr confirmed that the CCG was currently behind target and one of the main reasons for this was its annual Quality, Innovation, Productivity and Prevention (QIPP) target that, this year, had been set £2m higher than the last financial year. The CCG was close to identifying its full programme, however, there was currently a gap £0.9m. The CCG was working to identify the remainder of the balance and it was hoped this would be achieved through financial recovery. Questions and answers followed. A discussion took place on potential methods to reduce medicines waste. Following comments from Dr John Randall, it was agreed that the Medicines Management Team and GP Practices who had volunteered to be part of the pilot scheme should be recognised for their efforts to reduce prescribing waste across the CCG, including the reduction in the prescribing of ‘special’ medicines. RESOLVED: That the GB noted the content of the report and the overall position of the CCG at the end of July 2016, noting the risks and detailed appendices supporting the narrative; in particular the risk of the unidentified QIPP.
16.084 Contract, Quality and Performance Report Mr Parr presented the contracting section of the month 3 report and then suggested he defer to Dr Malcolm Ridgway to highlight the key points related to quality and performance. Mr Parr highlighted key items:
• Lancashire Care NHS Foundation Trust (LCFT) – Mental Health Services (page 2): o Psychological Therapies – for those entering treatment the target was over
achieved by almost 30%. o Referrals had increased. o Admissions to mental health in patient wards had decreased. o Bed days and length of stay were being closely monitored.
• East Lancashire Hospitals NHS Trust (ELHT) (page 3): o The activity variances on elective and non-elective had decreased but acuity
figures had increased. o Referrals – the total number of patients on an incomplete pathway and waiting
over 36 weeks had increased and there were two patients waiting for over 52 weeks. These were being closely monitored.
Page 5 of 8
Dr Ridgway drew members’ attention to key elements of the report related to quality:
• LCFT – Mental Health Services (page 2): o Psychological Therapies – Dr Ridgway reported that the 50% recovery target was
currently being reached. The prevalence target was also being reached. o Memory Assessment Service – there was an issue in getting patients through the
system and the target was currently not being reached. However, a recovery plan was being developed.
• ELHT (page 3): o Accident and Emergency (A&E) – Dr Ridgway reported that the monthly
performance was 85.47% and the year to date performance was 86.41%. The Pennine Lancashire System Resilience Group was leading on a system-wide recovery plan.
o Trolley Waits – there were three 12-hour A&E breaches for complex mental health patients in June. Root Cause Analysis investigations were progressing in line with due process. The Royal College of Psychology and Emergency Medicine was due to undertake a whole system review in October 2016.
o Cancer Waits – Dr Ridgway drew members’ attention to pages 14 and 15 and highlighted some issues related to urgent referrals for breast symptoms, as the target had not been reached in June. Dr Ridgway added that this was unusual and was being closely monitored. There was also concern about the 62-day wait target, which had not been reached and work was underway to improve the position.
• Primary Care (page 4): o Practice Visits – Dr Ridgway confirmed that, over the past year, 25 out of 27
practice visits had taken place. Each practice had been required to produce a report and action plan for improvement. The report review process was underway.
o Vulnerable Practice Scheme – Dr Ridgway referred to the assessment process, which had been developed by NHS England. Five practices in Blackburn with Darwen (BwD) had been identified as ‘vulnerable’ and it was noted that those practices would be offered tailored packages of support.
o Care Quality Commissioning (CQC) – Dr Ridgway reported that the second round of inspections had begun throughout BwD. The CCG had received one published result that had been rated as “good”. The CCG would continue to receive reports on practices over the next few months and would work with the CQC to ensure any improvements required were made.
• LCFT – Community Services (page 6): Dr Ridgway informed members that there were now several new targets within Community Services. He reminded members that Chorley South Ribble CCG was the lead commissioner for the contract. He added that there appeared to be an improved set of measures to monitor against the target than there had been previously.
o Category A Ambulance Calls – Dr Ridgway reported that there were issues with the target that were being picked up by the Pennine Lancashire System Resilience Group (PLSRG) and these partly reflected problems within the urgent care system as a whole.
Questions and answers followed. ACTION: Following a request from Mr Paul Hinnigan, Mr Roger Parr agreed to oversee the reinstatement of information related to referrals and waiting lists in the report. ACTION: Following a comment from Mr Hinnigan, Dr Ridgway agreed to pick up the issues related to the community contract staffing levels at the CCG’s contract meetings with the lead commissioner. RESOLVED: That the GB noted the content of the report and supported the actions as identified.

16.085 Governing Body Assurance Framework Update Mr Parr presented the quarterly update of the Governing Body Assurance Framework (GBAF). The GBAF was a key document that linked the corporate objectives to risks, controls and assurances and was the main tool used by the GB to discharge its overall responsibility for internal control. Mr Parr reminded GB members that the Quality, Performance and Effectiveness Committee (QPEC) scrutinised the GBAF and the Audit Committee was responsible for overseeing the process around assurance and the management of risk. Mr Parr drew members’ attention to the strategic risks to the CCG’s Corporate Objectives 2016/17 (page 2) and highlighted the highest rated strategic risk which was:
• CO6.2 Clinical Workforce Capacity – current workforce capacity may impact plans for future primary care delivery (“20”).
Mr Parr drew out section 3.2, which listed a series of actions taken to support the mitigation of the risk. Members were also requested to note section 4 (page 3) which listed the following risk, which it was expected would be reduced to target risk within the next quarter and would be included in the next update to the GB:
• CO6.1 Inability to secure active participation from member practices for delivering the CCG’s plans around Primary Care at scale.
Mr Parr referred to plans under the CCG’s Quality and Outcomes Enhanced Services Transformation (QOEST) scheme and it was expected that there would be a series of participation plans developed by member practices to secure the delivery of Primary Care at scale. Mr Parr drew members’ attention to the detailed appendices, which provided a copy of the GBAF and the impact assessment risk grading scoring mechanism. Questions and answers followed. Mr Hinnigan informed members that there had been a recent report produced by the Mersey Internal Audit Agency, which had benchmarked how CCGs manage their GBAFs. BwD had scored well and recorded a ‘green’ rating in the majority of scoring, with the exception of an ‘amber’ rating, which related to the way in which GB discussions related to risk were recorded. There were also some other minor recommendations, which were being discussed via the QPEC. The Chair echoed Mr Hinnigan’s comments and reiterated the importance of the GB’s discussions around risk and that they were recorded in full. Dr Clayton informed members that he always discussed risk at every Clinical Senate meeting and highlighted to the membership the highest rated risks to the CCG’s Corporate Objectives. RESOLVED: That the GB noted the content of the report.
16.086 System Resilience Update Dr Clayton provided an update on the current position related to system resilience and spoke to a briefing paper provided by the PLSRG. Dr Clayton explained the background the establishment of the PLSRG in June 2015. The
Page 7 of 8
group, chaired by Dr Clayton, was formed in response to national guidance, which required local systems to implement such committees. The PLSRG had worked hard to understand the complex risks within the health economy and develop ways to mitigate them. The remit of the SRGs had developed to become much wider than urgent care system resilience. The SRGs were requested to consider a wide range of issues, e.g. including Referral to Treatment (RTT) times, cancer waiting times, ambulance services and mental health services. Over the last 18 months the PLSRG, attended by a broad range of senior level staff, had reviewed a wide range of work streams. The PLSRG was developing its own Risk Register and this had highlighted some areas that required particular attention. These were the 4-hour A&E standard, the ambulance targets and some of the mental health pathways. It was recognised that the A&E standard was a national problem; however, Dr Clayton commented that local performance up to the Christmas period in 2015 had been comparatively good. However, performance had deteriorated since then and it had become a considerable challenge to meet the target. Dr Clayton explained that some of the reasons why the target was not being reached were complex. He added that a whole system 4 Hour Recovery Plan had been developed with specific targets for delivery. Dr Clayton continued that national guidance had directed that the SRGs were required to change and their main focus would be to deliver system recovery and the achievement of the 4-hour A&E standard. He explained that the SRGs would be reformed into A&E Delivery Boards. The PL A&E Delivery Board was expected to be in place by October, with senior representation from the whole health economy. Dr Clayton drew members’ attention to the fact that, whilst the work of the PL A&E Board was paramount, the CCG also had to ensure that the important work previously undertaken by the PLSRG was transferred to other forums and arrangements would be communicated to the GB as necessary. Questions and answers followed. The GB debated the reasons why patients continued to access services via the A&E Department when other services were available and how the CCG could work to inform patients of the other services available and encourage their use. It was noted that a media campaign around system resilience was due to be launched in the near future. RESOLVED: That the GB noted the content of the update.
16.087 Annual Report of the Audit Committee Mr Hinnigan presented the Annual Report of the Audit Committee, which informed the GB of the role and activities of the Audit Committee during the financial year 2015/16, as stated in its Terms of Reference, for information. There were no questions. RESOLVED: That the GB noted the content of the report.
16.088 Review of Register of Interests Mr Parr presented the quarterly review and update of the GB’s Register of Interests, which was presented to the Audit Committee on 30th August 2016, for information. There were no questions. RESOLVED: That the GB noted the content of the report.

CLINICAL COMMISSIONING GROUP (CCG)
GOVERNING BODY MEETING
2ND NOVEMBER 2016
CLINICAL CHIEF OFFICER’S REPORT
1) Introduction
This report provides an update on national and local issues of interest to Governing Body (GB) members not covered elsewhere on the agenda, and also provides an indication of where the Clinical Chief Officer’s (CCO) efforts have been directed since the last meeting.
2) Department of Health
2.1 Health Information Technology
In response to the report by the national Advisory Group on Health Information Technology in England, chaired by Professor Robert Wachter, the Health Secretary, Jeremy Hunt, announced new plans to fast track digital excellence and improve the digital skills of the NHS workforce. 12 new global exemplars to pioneer best practice and a new academy dedicated to training NHS staff in digital skills will be established. As global exemplars, the 12 successful NHS organisations will receive up to £10m and be expected to deliver pioneering approaches to digital services and help others in the NHS to learn from their experience. These Trusts will be partnered with an international organisation of their choice, to take full advantage of their expertise.
Alongside investment in technology and infrastructure, the funding will be used to improve training for staff and will also encourage a new generation of Chief Clinical Information Officers to drive forward advances in digital technology.
Meanwhile, Universities will be invited to host the new NHS digital academy, which will help train NHS professionals in the key skills they will need to deliver next generation, digital healthcare.
Further funding will be available for another 20 Trusts to become national exemplars, receiving an intensive programme of support from the new NHS digital academy, and up to £5m each, to improve how digital technology is used across their organisation. New digital services for patients will enable them to register with a General Practitioner (GP), access healthcare records and get medical advice via their tablet or smartphone all in one place. The services, which will be available from the end of next year, are intended to make the NHS easier to use for the increasing numbers of people using smartphones and other mobile devices to access public services.
2.2 Health Research
It has also been announced that leading NHS Clinicians and Universities will benefit from new world class facilities and support services built by the 5-year funding package totalling £816m; the largest ever investment into health research.
Report of the Clinical Chief Officer – 2nd November 2016 Page 3 of 9
Mental health research will see funding increase to nearly £70m, dementia to over £45m, deafness and hearing problems will receive over £15m and antimicrobial resistance research will rise to around £45m.
The funding has been awarded to 20 NHS and University partnerships across England through the National Institute for Health Research (NIHR). Each of the 20 biomedical research centres will host the development of new, ground-breaking treatments, diagnostics, prevention and care for patients in a wide range of diseases like cancer and dementia.
Amongst the successful applicants who will receive a share of the £816m investment is a North West partnership. Central Manchester University Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust and the University of Manchester will receive funding of £28,500,000 for 5 years from 1st April 2017 for advanced radiotherapy, cancer prevention and early detection, cancer precision medicine, dermatology, hearing health, respiratory medicine and targeted therapy in musculoskeletal diseases.
2.3 United Nations Declaration of Antimicrobial Resistance
A landmark declaration agreeing to combat antimicrobial resistance has been signed by 193 countries at the United Nations (UN) General Assembly. The agreement follows a worldwide campaign led by the Chief Medical Officer, Professor Dame Sally Davies, and Health Secretary, Jeremy Hunt, to highlight the threat posed to modern medicine by antimicrobial resistance (AMR).
Every signatory has agreed that drug resistant infections must be tackled as a priority. The nations have committed to:
• develop surveillance and regulatory systems on the use and sales of antimicrobial medicines for humans and animals;
• encourage innovative ways to develop new antibiotics, and improve rapid diagnostics; • raise awareness among health professionals and the public on how to prevent drug-
resistant infections.
Drug-resistant infections pose the biggest threat to modern medicine. Currently, it is estimated that more than 700,000 people die annually due to drug-resistant infections such as Tuberculosis, Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV) and Malaria but, because of the lack of global data, it is thought that the real number is likely to be far more.
By 2050, if left unchecked, drug-resistant infections will kill 10m people a year and cost the worldwide economy $100 tn. Chemotherapy would not be possible and even simple surgeries, such as hip operations, could be become life-threatening.
The UN Secretary General will now convene a group including UN agencies to accelerate action and report back in two years.
The Declaration builds on the important commitments made by G20 leaders earlier this month to consider how to stimulate research and the development of new antimicrobial products.
2.4 Medical Training
The number of medical training places available to students each year will be expanded to ensure the NHS has enough Doctors to continue to provide safe, compassionate care in the future, Health Secretary, Jeremy Hunt, announced on the 4th October 2016.
From September 2018, the Government will fund up to 1,500 additional student places through medical school each year. Students will be able to apply for the extra places from next year in order to take them up from the academic year 2018/19.
Report of the Clinical Chief Officer – 2nd November 2016 Page 4 of 9
The Health Secretary also pledged to reform the current cap on the total number of places that medical schools can offer, which is set at just over 6,000 a year. Currently, Universities can only offer places to half of those who apply to study medicine, but this new measure will allow all domestic students with the academic grades, skills and capability to train as a Doctor to have the chance to do so.
2.5 Community Pharmacies
The Government has announced plans to modernise Community Pharmacies, to ensure a better quality service for patients and relieve pressure in other parts of the NHS. The changes follow an extensive consultation earlier this year.
New measures, supported by NHS England, will include the first ever reward system for Pharmacies that are providing a high quality service.
The Government currently funds Community Pharmacy at £2.8bn a year. The way Community Pharmacies are rewarded and funded for NHS services was last reviewed 10 years ago.
Over the last 10 years the budget for Community Pharmacy has gone up by more than 40%. The number of Community Pharmacies in England is over 11,500, which is up by 18% in 10 years, and two-fifths of Pharmacies in England are within 10 minutes’ walk of 2 or more other Pharmacies.
The average Pharmacy costs £220,000 a year for NHS pharmaceutical services, including fixed £25,000 ‘establishment payments’ that most Pharmacies receive annually, regardless of the service they provide. The new package will phase out the establishment payment and place greater emphasis on rewarding Pharmacies for the quality of services provided to the public.
Government spending for pharmacy will remain at around £2.6bn a year, and will ensure that those people in isolated areas with higher health needs will have access to a Pharmacy through a new pharmacy access scheme.
Pharmacies that might have narrowly missed out on the Pharmacy Access Scheme funding through the distance criteria, but are in an area of high deprivation, will be eligible to ask for a review. This will cover Pharmacies that are located in the top 20% most deprived areas in England and are 0.8 miles or more from another Pharmacy and are critical to access. Funding for successful reviews will be made available as required from outside of this package.
The savings made will go into improved NHS services throughout the country, to ensure that patients get the highest-quality provision possible.
3) NHS England 3.1 Annual General Meeting NHS England held its Annual General Meeting on 25th October 2016.
The meeting looked back on the progress the NHS had made over the last twelve months towards delivering on its shared plan for improved health, transformed care and a financially sustainable health and care system. Senior NHS, health, care and local government leaders from the across the country were invited to participate in two panels, covering a broad range of issues including:
• the work of Sustainability and Transformation Plans (STPs); • efficiencies; • delivering for patients on cancer, mental health, learning disabilities and urgent and
emergency care.
A live stream of the meeting can be accessed via: https://www.england.nhs.uk/livestreams/
Report of the Clinical Chief Officer – 2nd November 2016 Page 5 of 9
3.2 NHS Operational Planning and Contracting Guidance 2017-19
The NHS Operational Planning and Contracting Guidance 2017-19 document was published on 22nd September 2016. This was a joint document between NHS England (commissioners) and NHS Improvement (providers). The planning guidance covers two financial years, to provide greater stability and support transformation and is underpinned by a two-year tariff and two-year NHS Standard Contract. Alongside the planning guidance the draft National Tariff prices, Quality Premium guidance and draft national Commissioning for Quality and Innovation (CQUIN) have also been released. The guidance is built around STPs, although there is still a requirement for commissioner and provider organisational level plans in 2017/18 and 2018/19. Organisational plans will need to demonstrate:
• how they will be delivering the nine ‘must-dos’; • how they support delivery of the local STP, including clear and credible milestones and
deliverables; • the planned contribution to savings; • how risks have been jointly identified and mitigated through an agreed contingency plan; • the impact of new care models.
The key planning dates are: 22nd September 2016 Planning guidance published 21st October 2016 Submission of STPs 24th November 2016 Submission of full draft 17/18 and 18/19 operational plans 23rd December 2016 National deadline for signing of contracts 23rd December 2016 Submission of final 17/18 and 18/19 operational plans aligned with
contracts Further information via: https://www.england.nhs.uk/ourwork/futurenhs/deliver-forward-view/
3.3 Specialised Commissioning
NHS England has launched a consultation on four related policies that describe how it will make decisions on funding for treatments that are not currently routinely commissioned.
The four policies are: in-year service developments, individual funding requests, funding experimental and unproven treatments, and continuing funding after clinical trials. The public consultation, announced on 13th October 2016 and which will be open for 12 weeks, will ensure the policies help NHS England make the most effective, sustainable and fair use of its finite resources. The key themes of the consultation findings and feedback will be published on the NHS England website.
The draft policies are the result of a review of the eleven existing policies established when NHS England became responsible for commissioning of specialised services in 2013. The review, which took into account the lessons learned from using the policies in practice, as well as feedback from stakeholders, found that many of the original eleven are now covered by Department of Health or other NHS England policy. The four areas that still require distinct policies are the focus of the consultation.
A series of events will be run in conjunction with the consultation.

4.1 State of Care Report
The Care Quality Commission (CQC) has produced its annual ‘State of Care’ report on the quality and health and social care in England.
This year’s report shows that, despite increasingly challenging circumstances, much good care is being delivered and encouraging levels of improvement are taking place.
The CQC has seen services providing good and outstanding care and making improvements by collaborating outside traditional organisational boundaries - hospitals working with GPs, GPs working with social care and all services working with people who use services.
However, it has also seen some deterioration in quality, and some services are struggling to improve.
The CQC has raised concerns that the sustainability of the adult social care market is approaching a tipping point. The fragility of the market is now beginning to impact both on the people who rely on these services and on the performance of NHS care. The combination of a growing and ageing population, more people with long-term conditions, and a challenging economic climate means greater demand on services and more problems for people in accessing care

5) Lancashire and South Cumbria
5.1 STP
Lancashire and South Cumbria’s STP will be published in the coming weeks. The plan will be designed to deliver better health and care for the public now and in the future.
Partners have formed five local development plans across the region in Central Lancashire, the Fylde Coast, Morecambe Bay, West Lancashire and our own in Pennine Lancashire for ‘Together: A Healthier Future’. This joint approach will help Healthier Lancashire and South Cumbria achieve its objectives across the NHS, Local Government and the Third Sector.
The partners want a wide range of people to get involved and have their say to make sure local people’s views are listened to as the plans begin to take shape. Once the report is published, the partners will also announce how people can get involved.
The STP is the plan to deliver the Five Year Forward View across Lancashire and South Cumbria for which 33 NHS and local Council organisations have come together to develop.
5.2 Lancashire Care NHS Foundation Trust
At the end of December 2016, Hurstwood Ward (Ward 22) located at Burnley General Hospital is relocating to the ground floor site at Hillview, Royal Blackburn Hospital. The ward provides 18 beds for males and females with Advanced Care needs with an acute mental health issue, such as depression, anxiety, bi-polar disorder, schizophrenia and some patients with mild to moderate dementia.
Report of the Clinical Chief Officer – 2nd November 2016 Page 7 of 9
Last year, the CQC highlighted some issues with the accommodation on ward 22 and, whilst these have been addressed as far as possible, the ward was not able to meet completely the needs of the client group for which it was intended. The staff on the ward will fully support patients and carers to ensure that the relocation happens with the minimum amount of disruption and they will be kept informed as plans progress. FAQs have been shared with both staff and patients on the ward.
6) Pennine Lancashire
6.1 Engagement Event
Residents and other stakeholders attended a successful engagement event in the 1882 Lounge at Burnley Football Club’s Turf Moor stadium on 19th October 2016 to discuss emerging models of care. The event gave people a chance to express their views on what works well with local health and social care, what needs improving and how together we can face the challenges ahead. The feedback will be collated and published widely.
6.2 Health Celebration Event
Members of the CCG attended the recent Health Celebration event at Blackburn Cathedral, which proved to be a great success. The event highlighted the good practice and innovation in healthcare that has taken place over recent years in Pennine Lancashire. On the day, hundreds of people were in attendance to see and hear from the likes of comedian and Coronation Street actor, Gareth Berliner, who took time out to share his personal experiences of depression, living with a long term condition and how he overcame a number of obstacles. Teachers Tim and Kerry Meek, along with their daughters Amy (11) and Ella (9), led mini-workshops and gave a talk about their incredible experiences of travelling the UK and making some radical life changes. Suco Suco Samba – a drum and dance troupe for people in recovery from addiction formed by East Lancashire support group ‘Juice’ - brought the samba sounds and there were also demonstrations of the North West Ambulance NHS Trust’s telecare services, virtual visits designed to reduce social isolation, health Skyping and 3D printing of prosthetic hands.
6.3 Influenza
Parents with young children are being urged to get them vaccinated against the misery of influenza as winter approaches. Children who will be aged two, three and four on or before 31 August 2016 will be eligible for a free ‘flu vaccination and GPs from East Lancashire and Blackburn with Darwen are urging parents and guardians to look out for a letter offering their child the opportunity.
The vaccination is the best protection against what is an unpredictable virus. It can cause severe illness and can even be fatal in some cases. It’s also vital that children get vaccinated every year, vaccines are not for life and just as the virus changes each year so does the vaccine – it will protect children and those they come into contact with.

6.4 East Lancashire Hospitals NHS Trust
The Trust has announced that it is working with the University of Central Lancashire as its main provider of medical undergraduate education and training as part of the new MBBS (Bachelor of Medicine, Bachelor of Surgery) degree programme.
Report of the Clinical Chief Officer – 2nd November 2016 Page 8 of 9
The Trust has a well-established reputation for undergraduate and postgraduate education and is confident that its planned ‘teaching hospital’ status will help both Burnley General and Royal Blackburn hospitals to attract and retain high quality clinical staff.
7) Blackburn with Darwen Clinical Commissioning Group 7.1 Clinical Senate
The CCG held a full membership meeting on the 20th October 2016. The Senate agreed to a number of key constitutional changes:
• To form a Joint Committee of Lancashire and South Cumbria CCGs; • To form a joint Quality Committee across Pennine Lancashire; • To change the definition of the post of the Clinical Director of Quality and Effectiveness; • To provide a mandate for commissioners to explore the development of a Multi-Speciality
Community Provider (MCP) model of care for Blackburn with Darwen, following the partially integrated option.
7.2 Consultation on Gluten Free Food on Prescription
The CCG is currently engaging with people on its policy on gluten-free food on prescription. For the past 30 years the NHS has prescribed gluten-free foods to patients who have been diagnosed with coeliac disease. This service started when gluten-free foods were not as readily available as they are today. The NHS has a limited budget and with an increasing demand for services it must evaluate every service it pays for. In 2015/16 the CCG spent £110,000 on gluten-free products. This can be re-invested into alternative patient services. The CCG is proposing to stop prescribing them. The consultation is open until 11th November 2016.
The consultation questionnaire is available at: https://www.surveymonkey.co.uk/r/gfconsultation
8) Good News

Summary Financial Position – The CCG is reporting a year to date surplus of £715k which £401k under the ytd planned surplus of £1,116k. Whilst the CCG is reporting achieving its year end control total, the ytd position shows expenditure in excess of its plan. A financial recovery plan has been produced and the CCG continues to look to manage the risks identified.
Commissioned Services • Healthcare Commissioning is reporting a YTD overspend of £987k with
a year‐end forecast overspend of £1,234k mainly on inpatient day case, outpatients and non‐electives.
• Primary Care Services are reporting a YTD underspend of £249k mainly on prescribing, enhanced services and primary care co‐commissioning. A forecast year end underspend of £509k is reported. Prescribing is reporting a ytd underspend of £218k and year end forecast underspend of £523k.
• Corporate Services are reporting an underspend of £30k and a forecast year end underspend of £70k.
Uncommitted Reserve • The CCG awaits confirmation of the use of the 1% uncommitted
reserve from NHS England.
RISKS • Acute activity levels continue to be a key factor in 2016‐17. Schemes
are in place to manage demand. • Continuing health care and complex packages continues to be a key
risk. The CCG continues to closely monitor this area of expenditure. • Prescribing expenditure is volatile and is monitored closely by the
Medicines Management Team. • The application of the 1% uncommitted reserve
QIPP • 21.2 % of the QIPP target has been achieved at month 6. This is
behind the plan to meet the full year savings target of £6.9m. The CCG is currently reviewing services to identify where savings can be made to meet this target. Unidentified QIPP totals £890k. Capital
• The CCG has received confirmation of its capital allocation for GP IT of £143k.
Recommendation: The CCG Governing Body is asked to note the contents of this financial summary and the financial position of the CCG at the end of September 2016.

Contract & Information Lancashire Care Foundation Trust (LCFT) Mental Health ‐ Executive Summary
Month 5 Psychological Therapies ‐ Blackburn with Darwen Clinical Commissioning Group (BwD CCG) has a nominal monthly target of 246 patients entering psychological treatment to meet the 15% prevalence target. During month 5, 179 patients entered treatment with Lancashire Care Foundation Trust (LCFT). On a year to date (YTD) basis, LCFT reports that access rates are above target (+24 patients, +1.9%). Factoring in Lancashire Women’s Centre (LWC) data reveals the YTD performance being substantially above target (+218 patients, +17.7%).
Referrals ‐ BwD CCG referrals to LCFT Mental Health Services have increased on YTD 2015‐16 levels +193 (+15.5%). When compared to 2016‐17 plans, referrals are above the expected level +345 (+31.5%). Admissions ‐ The number of admissions to Mental Health inpatient wards, is below the number admitted YTD in the previous year i.e. 161 in 2016‐17, versus 187 in 2015‐16 ‐26 (‐13.9%). Including Out of Area admissions, and based on plans which consider total admissions (all CCGs) over the previous 3 years, BwD CCG patients account for more than BwD CCG’s weighted population share of admissions +28 (+21.4%). This is indicative of an above average prevalence of high level mental health need among the BwD population. Bed Days ‐ Including Out of Area bed days, and based on plans which are calculated by taking LCFT’s total available bed days, BwD CCG patients account for more than BwD CCG’s weighted population share of bed days +1,198 (+26.9%). This has contributed to on‐going high occupancy rates at LCFT, and high numbers of Out of Area Treatments (OATs) incurred by all CCGs. OATS ‐ Mental Health OATs for 2016‐17 are 24.8% of admissions and 22.1% of all bed days for BwD CCG. In terms of admissions this is decreased versus the same period last year (15‐16 OATs = 26.7% of all admissions). In terms of Bed Days, this has increased versus the same period last year (15‐16 OATs = 16.2% of all bed days.
Quality & Performance Lancashire Care Foundation Trust (LCFT) Mental Health ‐ Executive Summary
Month 5 Care Programme Approach (CPA) ‐ The target for 95% of patients on CPA to be followed up within seven days of discharge from psychiatric inpatient care was met for BwD CCG in August 2016, at 100%, with a year to date (YTD) position of 98.59% (Trust performance: 98.00% in‐month and 96.59% YTD). Psychological Therapies ‐ The notional 1.25% monthly target for Improving Access to Psychological Therapies (IAPT) Prevalence was not met for BwD CCG in August 2016, at 1.00%, with a cumulative YTD position of 6.51%, against a trajectory of 6.25%. The 50% Recovery target was not met for BwD CCG in August 2016, with performance at 48.31%, and a YTD position of 50.10% (Trust performance, 49.27% in‐month and 48.71% YTD). The standard for 75% of patients to enter treatment within 6 weeks was met for BwD CCG in August 2016, at 98.89%, as well as YTD at 96.76% (Trust performance, 92.13% in‐month and 90.12% YTD). The standard for 95% of patients to enter treatment within 18 weeks was also met for BwD in‐month, at 100%, as well as YTD at 100% (Trust performance, 99.48% in‐month and 99.24% YTD). Memory Assessment Service (MAS) ‐ The target for 70% of patients to be seen by the MAS within 6 weeks was not met for BwD CCG in August 2016, at 23.80%, or at Trust level, at 34.4%. A MAS Optimisation Plan has been submitted by LCFT. Longer‐term, a review of Dementia pathways is underway in Pennine Lancashire, which is also intended to inform MAS redesign across Lancashire. Lancashire Quality and Performance Group has recently asked that this redesign is expedited. Safer Staffing – the quality of the data presented for mental health services has improved significantly and assurance was given that staffing levels are safe. On appositive. On a positive note mandatory training levels are increasing month on month with most close to target.

Contract & Information East Lancashire Hospitals NHS Trust (ELHT) ‐ Executive Summary
Month 5
Activity £ A&E (including MIU) ‐453 (‐1.8%) +£84K (+3.3%) Elective (Ordinary + Day Cases) ‐157 (‐2.4%) +£204K (+3.3%) Non Elective inc.

Elective Care – The first 5 months of the year are below plan in terms of activity (‐157 spells, ‐2.4%). However, costs are above plan (+£204K, +3.3%). This is indicative of a relatively complex mix of admissions so far this year, compared to what is forecast within plans. The specialties mainly responsible for the year to date cost over trade are Medical Specialties (+£171K) and Trauma & Orthopaedics (+£96K).
Non‐elective admissions (including non‐elective non‐emergency) are close to plan in terms of cost: ‐£27K (‐0.2%). However, this is from relatively low levels of activity (‐334 spells) which is 3.9% below plan. Specialities to note against this overall underperformance are: Medical Specialties +£37K (+1%) [‐162 spells, ‐4%]; Surgical Specialties ‐£75K (‐5%) [‐80 spells, ‐10%]; Trauma & Orthopaedics ‐£36K (‐4%) [‐37 spells, ‐10%]; Paediatrics +£3K (+0%) [‐66 spells, ‐5%]; and Urology +£25K (+7%) [‐13 spells, ‐5%].
Total Outpatient performance is above plan: +£150K (+2.6%) [+1,802 attendances/procedures, +3.4%]. Trauma and Orthopaedics and Cardiology Outpatient Procedures have been queried with the Trust due to the large increases. The former has led to a re‐classification of 85 procedures (and cost correction of £18K), although there is still an over trade (+37 procedures, +127%). In respect of the latter, a response is still awaited.
Referral to Treatment – the number of BwD CCG patients awaiting treatment at ELHT has increased to 7,005 (versus 5,954 at the end of 2105/16). Performance against the Incomplete Pathway metric (target 92%) has remained stable, although there are now 15 patients waiting >36 weeks (compared to typically 0 to 2 per month during 2015/16).
Quality & Performance East Lancashire Hospitals NHS Trust (ELHT) ‐ Executive Summary
Month 5 A&E 4 Hour ‐ The 95% 4 hour waiting time target for A&E was not met in August 2016 at East Lancashire Hospitals Trust (ELHT), with in‐month performance at 77.90% and a YTD performance of 84.34%. A schedule of meetings has been planned through the A&E Delivery Board, with senior representation focussed on a system‐wide recovery plan to address the underperformance against the standard. Trolley Wait ‐ There were nine 12 hour A&E breaches for complex mental health patients reported in August 2016 at ELHT. Timelines have been submitted for each case and actions and lessons learned are being collated into an overarching action plan. As previously reported the Royal College of Psychologists and The Royal College of Medicine are undertaking a system review, this has been postponed to early November 2016. Cancer 62 Day Target ‐ Latest information shows the 62 Day Cancer target continues to be failed both in month and year to date across both CCGs. Additional, the 62 day target following referral from a cancer screening service has also been missed in August 2016, although year to date performance remains above target. In the main this has been caused by an expected increase in referrals following the adoption of new NICE guidance but there are also issues regarding patient choice and complexity. The data shows that BwD has particular problems in urology, lower and upper gastrointestinal, haematology, skin and lung. There is a comprehensive action plan in place that is being refreshed to recover this target together with ongoing work to ensure patients with cancer are diagnosed and treated early to improve outcomes.

The draft plan being is currently being assembled with an initial draft completion submission date of 30th October.
Prime Ministers Challenge Fund (PMCF) ‐ The scheme is delivering extended access to routine General Practice across the borough, 7 days a week. At the weekends the federation is collaborating with the GP Out of Hours to ensure the service is fully utilised. The Federation is currently remodelling the service to deliver increased access out of core hours, it is also developing a resilence scheme to cover the Christmas and New year period working in collaboration with ELMS.

They have shared their comprehensive improvement plan with the CCG and we are working with them to ensure all recommendations are implemented prior to their re‐inspection (usually after 6 months).
Practice Quality visits ‐ BwD CCG quality team will visit the two remaining GP practices in November 2016. Those practices that have already been visited have submitted a quality improvement plan.
The CCG is currently developing a report to capture all the ratings and recommendations from the CQC visits. This report will highlight those practices that have been rated as requiring improvement in one or more areas and will be used to prioritise visits for the future. A themed report developed form the quality visits undertaken by the CCG is being compiled and will be shared with the team implementing QOEST to inform the quality improvement aspect of that scheme.
Practice Nurse Forum – Individual feedback from Nurses has expressed their gratitude to the CCG for the organisation of the comprehensive timetable. The Forum in October was attended by 43 nurses who listened to presentations around Falls and COPD. The next Forum will take place in December which will cover ‘ The End of Life pathway’ and ‘ Revalidation process for Nurses.

Contract & Information Lancashire Care Foundation Trust Community ‐ Executive Summary
Month 5
Community IV Therapy (‐300, ‐39.2%) ‐ The step up referral pathway is now working well with medical oversight from ELMS enabling cellulitis patients to be treated in community. The step down referral pathway has been limited over the past 12 weeks due to restricted capacity in ELHT facilitating patients out into community.
Complex Case Managers (‐89, ‐5.5%) ‐ The new complex case management service activity baselines have been agreed for the CCM service which began delivering in June 2016. This is based on 4 staff delivering 6 contacts/day = 4800 contacts. There are currently 3 CCM's in post and there has been annual leave and compassionate leave within this team during July which may have impacted on activity levels. The new delivery model is becoming clearer within the wider service and IHSS referrals are picked up by this team where appropriate. CCM's are starting to become involved in RAT triage processes to embed the service within a blended offer. Complex case managers are still within preceptorship and have been attending training sessions within ELHT to ensure that care plans are mirrored across trusts.
Diabetes Specialist Nursing Service (DSN) (‐443, ‐18.4%) – The Trust has advised that annual leave and the induction of a new staff member, has contributed to the slight decrease in activity in July. August has subsequently seen a reduction in the previously reported under performance. September is likely to show further improvement in performance, when the new staff member will have a full month of autonomous working, and leave pressures will have subsided.
Intermediate Care (‐1,089, ‐20.2%) ‐ A month on month decrease in activity has been evident since April 2016. Activity levels are historically higher in the winter months and an increase in activity is predicted to achieve full recovery. A recovery trajectory has been formulated for August’s data submission, which was received in September. Further details on LCFT Community variances are contained in Appendix 4.
Quality & Performance Lancashire Care Foundation Trust Community ‐ Executive Summary
Month 5 Pressure Ulcers ‐ There have been 14 Grade 3 Pressure Ulcers and 1 Grade 4 Pressure Ulcer reported in Month 5, at LCFT. 6 cases were deemed ‘unavoidable’ following review and 9 cases are awaiting review. As lead commissioner, CSR CCG are leading on a number of initiatives to reduce the number of pressure ulcers, such as: attending the LCFT Harm Free Care meetings on a monthly basis to understand the improvement work that is currently underway at the Trust, and utilising the Safety Thermometer ‘hot spot’ report along with reports from Datix to focus on quality improvements. Safer Staffing – issues with the community data presented was raised at the recent Lancashire Quality and Performance Group. The quality of the data was challenged robustly and as a consequence LCFT will be looking to improve this urgently, to a standard acceptable to commissioners.

Contract & Information Other Significant Contracts ‐ Executive Summary
Month 5
North West Ambulance Service ‐ ‘All Incidents’ ‐ Blackburn with Darwen CCG ‘All Incidents’ activity provided by the ambulance service at Month 5 is over plan by 4.1%.
Performance Line Comparison to Plan
Plan Actual Variance + % R1 (% <8 mins) 286 285 ‐1 (‐0.4%) R2 (% <8 mins) 4,452 4,704 +252 (+5.7%) All Reds (%<19 mins) 4,738 4,989 +251 (+5.3%) Green 6,450 6,665 +215 (+3.3%) AS3 75 70 ‐5 (‐6.4%) All Incidents 11,263 11,724 +461 (+4.1%)
The key drivers of this over performance are the YTD activity volumes for ‘Red 2’ +252 (+5.7%) and ‘Green’ +215 (+3.3%). Red 2 relates to ambulance calls that result in an emergency response arriving within 8 minutes; Green relates to the activity that requires a face to face response and often requires a transfer to A&E. BMI Beardwood – year to date Elective activity is +21.5% over plan, costing 20.2% more than plan (+£102K), almost entirely through Daycases. The HRG AB08Z (Pain Radiofrequency Treatments) accounts for +£73K of the Pain Management Elective over trade. It appears that the majority of this activity is for patients having repeat procedures. The CCG has drafted a policy to limit the number of facet joint injections that can be provided. This policy is due to be ratified at the Pennine Lancs Quality Committee on the 28th September 2016.
Quality & Performance Other Significant Contracts ‐ Executive Summary
Month 5 Category A ambulance calls ‐ In August 2016, the Category A ambulance calls target was not met at BwD CCG level for: Red 1 (immediately life threatening) and Red 2 (life threatening but less time critical) emergency calls to be responded to within 19 minutes performance at 91.85%, against a target of 95% (YTD, 91.71%); and Red 2 – 8 minute performance at 66.41% (YTD, 69.17%), against a target of 75%. At BwD CCG level, the Category A ambulance calls target for Red 1 – 8 minutes was met with performance at 77.97% (YTD, 73.41%), against a target of 75%. An Ambulance Concordat has been established between EL CCG, ELHT and North West Ambulance Service, with joint work ongoing to strengthen processes and improve all aspects of system wide performance. Ambulance Handovers – In August 2016, at ELHT there were 475 handovers over 30 minutes (YTD, 1930), 94 handovers over 60 minutes (YTD, 376). Performance is linked directly to pressures within the Emergency Department.

CLINICAL COMMISSIONING GROUP (CCG)
GOVERNING BODY MEETING
2ND NOVEMBER 2016
EXTERNAL AUDIT SERVICES –
CONTRACT AWARD RECOMMENDATION REPORT
1. Introduction
In March 2016 the Department of Health published a report that provided CCGs with guidance on appointing its External Auditors. An appointment needed to be made by the end of the year due to the inherited contracts coming to an end. The CCG followed this guidance and this paper provides the Governing Body with the outcome of the appointment process, and requests approval of the recommendation from its Auditor Panel
2. Auditor Panel The CCG established an Auditor Panel to oversee the appointment of the external auditors for a five year period. The minutes of the last Auditor Panel are attached for information (Appendix 1). The CCG sought best value from the market and went out to tender with four other CCGs. All five Auditor Panels are making the same recommendations to their Governing Bodies. The assessment of the bids was based on 70% Quality and 30% Cost. The quality criteria was subdivided into methodology and approach (30%), and resources, organisational capability and experience (40%). Panel member evaluations were done independently and three bidders were invited to present to a joint panel of Audit Chairs representing all five CCG’s. Grant Thornton, who are the CCG’s current external auditors, received the highest score.
3. Recommendations
The CCG’s Auditor Panel have considered the evaluation of the procurement exercise and recommends the appointment of Grant Thornton to be the External Auditor of the CCG for the next five years, at a cost of £38k per annum. The Governing Body is requested to approve this recommendation.

The Chair welcomed everyone to the meeting of the Clinical Commissioning Group’s (CCG’s) Auditor Panel. For the benefit of Dr Geraint Jones, who was attending his first meeting as a member of the Auditor Panel, the Chair explained the function and remit of the Auditor Panel.
16.015 Apologies for Absence and Confirmation of Quoracy It was noted that Dr John Randall, who had replaced Dr Tom Phillips on the panel, was not in attendance; however, this was due to the meeting being convened at short notice and had been arranged to follow on from a pre-arranged meeting of the Lay Members. The meeting was confirmed as quorate.
16.016 Declarations of Interest There were no declarations of interest.
16.017
Minutes of the meeting held on 26th April 2016 The minutes of the previous meeting were reviewed and agreed as an accurate record. RESOLVED: That the minutes of the meeting held on 26th April 2016 were approved as an accurate record of the meeting.
16.018 Matters Arising There were no matters arising

• Blackburn with Darwen CCG; • East Lancashire CCG; • West Lancashire CCG; • Greater Preston CCG; • Chorley and South Ribble CCG.
The Chair reported that a number of options were presented in the guidance and the panel of Audit Chairs from each participating CCG opted for the use of the Crown Commercial Service ConsultancyONE Framework. The Chair explained that the framework had eight bidders of which four responded to the Invitation to Quote. Three of the four respondents were identified as being the strongest bids following a process of consensus scoring. These were:
• Grant Thornton; • PricewaterhouseCoopers; • KPMG.
The Chair drew members’ attention to the report which provided details of the scoring criteria and the final evaluation following the presentations and interviews which took place on 30th September 2016. The Chair concluded that the highest overall scoring bid was achieved by Grant Thornton. The CCG Audit Chairs’ panel had recommended that the contract for the service was awarded to Grant Thornton. The appointment would be for a five year period. Questions and answers followed. Blackburn with Darwen CCG Auditor Panel approved the recommendation of the CCG Audit Chairs’ panel that the contract for the service was awarded to Grant Thornton and agreed to recommend it to the CCG Governing Body for final ratification. ACTION: The Chair to oversee the presentation of the recommendation to the next meeting of the Governing Body for ratification. RESOLVED: That Blackburn with Darwen CCG Auditor Panel approved the recommendation of the CCG Audit Chairs’ panel that the contract for the service was awarded to Grant Thornton and agreed to recommend it to the CCG Governing Body for final ratification.

• Pharmacy Scheme – Accessing Health Care – Dr Ridgway reported work is ongoing with BwD Community Pharmacies on how to make better use of their services to help with patient access.

Questions and answers followed. Estate and Technology Transformation Fund Mr Joe Slater asked in what order of priority are the bids being addressed to which Dr Ridgway confirmed that the bids in order of priority are West, PCAC and then North. Telephone Triage – Patient Signposting Mr Slater asked what other ideas are being taken in to consideration to improve access and patient choice and also what will the funding be used for if not for telephone triage.

Dr Ridgway advised that there is currently only national feedback. Pharmacy Scheme – Accessing Health Care Mr Slater requested assurance that, when consulting with Pharmacies, patients would be included in the consultation process. Dr Ridgway confirmed that consultation will be provided through various groups and gave the example of the Patient Participation Group. Mr Rasburn confirmed that the CCG has been invited to attend a public meeting to discuss some of the issues around Community Pharmacy which will also cover the patient’s point of view.

Page 4 of 6
Local Challenges Dr Ridgway outlined the local challenges for BwD and the greatest potential for Primary Care could be reached by General Practice by working closely together to become more efficient and productive. Dr Ridgway outlined the ongoing work in BwD and confirmed that the integrated teams based in localities are working with community nursing and social care keeping patients out of hospital. Service Delivery Vision Dr Ridgway briefly outlined that there are now two Physician Associates who are based in BwD practices which are part of a team of 10 across Pennine Lancashire. Dr Ridgway invited questions and comments from members. Dr Nigel Horsfield queried the plans that the Trust has to appoint General Practitioners and how this would impact on the Strategy. In reply Dr Ridgway confirmed that the Trust do have their own Clinical Strategy but that he is not sure if it is coherent with the CCG’s Strategy; however, he asked the Committee to note that the Trust are part of Sustainable Transformation Programme Planning process across Pennine Lancs. Dr Horsfield asked for confirmation whether this has been discussed with the Trust on how their model for General Practitioners fits in. Dr Ridgway confirmed that it has been discussed informally. ACTION: Following a request from the Chair for a more formal discussion, Dr Ridgway agreed to formally discuss with the Trust. Mr Slater raised a query around whether the CCG are expecting BwD Borough Council (BwD BC) to jointly fund the Strategy and whether the Strategy will go to the Health and Wellbeing Board for approval. In reply, Dr Ridgway confirmed that he is to meet with Mr Stephen Tingle, Director of Adults, BwD BC, to discuss. The Chair requested that the final version of the Primary Care Strategy is presented to the BwD Health and Wellbeing Board. ACTION: Dr Ridgway to ensure that the final draft of the Primary Care Strategy will be presented to the BwD Health and Wellbeing Board.

• More information is provided regarding financial resources and Information Technology.
• The Strategy should contain a detailed analysis identifying the strengths and weaknesses of the options.
• The Strategy should include Public Health information and how the Strategy will promote healthy living.

Page 5 of 6
is covered by 27 GP practices and amounts to a total registered population of approximately 170,000. Dr Gunn asked the Committee to note that GP Practices and community providers operate from a mixture of old and new properties in varying conditions. Dr Gunn outlined the Estate Plan for BwD which is for a new GP and community care facility in Blackburn West area to which 3 GP practices will be relocated; followed by a new GP development care facility in the North locality area to which 6 practices will be relocated and finally the PCAC. It was noted that funding for the plans has been provisionally agreed and will be managed by the CCG. In conclusion, Dr Gunn said that the Strategy will deliver modern premises and allow care closer to home, collaborative working and, by doing so, allow cost savings to be made. Mr Parr commented that the Strategic Estates Group in Pennine Lancashire is looking at premises utilisation and how it will update and amalgamate current prime estate. It was noted that the Estates Team has looked at Barbara Castle Way Health Centre and plan to do a further deep dive at Darwen Health Centre to review space utilisation. Dr Gunn invited questions and comments. After discussion and agreement the Chair requested that the BwD Estates Strategy be updated with the following recommended changes:
• Information around finances where the funding is coming from internal/external sources;
• Estate priorities need to be outlined / determined; • Public estates approach what are other people doing and what opportunities are there
available to share premises; • Map expansion to show areas of development and how they may impact on practice
size; • Population status is incorrect.
ACTION: Dr Gunn thanked committee members for their comments and agreed to feed them back for inclusion in the final draft of the strategy and bring it back to the next meeting. RESOLVED: That, following the inclusion of the above amendments, the PCCC agreed to receive the final version Blackburn with Darwen Estates Strategy for approval at the next meeting.

It was noted that the Executive Team and the Chair of the Primary Care Co Commissioning Group had reviewed the bid and, due to the tight submission date, had agreed to support the scheme in principal. After a brief discussion, the Committee agreed to support the bid in principal but requested that Appendix 1 be circulated following the meeting.

MR informed the group of a meeting to discuss cancer targets is due to take place this afternoon. Care Programme Approach: 7 day follow up The target for 95% of patients on Care Programme Approach (CPA) to be followed up within seven days of discharge from Psychiatric inpatient care was met for BwD CCG in June 2016, at 100%, as well as for Q1, at 96.62% (Trust performance, 96.63%/95.75%). The CPA follow up target was not met for two Lancashire CCG areas in-month: Lancashire North at 90% (1 patient); and West Lancashire at 75% (1 patient). The target was not met at the end of Q1 for three CCG areas: Lancashire (92.96%); Greater Preston (92.86%); and Lancashire North (93.94%). Improving Access to Psychological Therapies Prevalence – The notional 1.25% monthly target for Improving Access to Psychological Therapies (IAPT) Prevalence was met for BwD CCG in June 2016 at 1.46% (Trust Performance, 1.26%). Recovery – The 50% recovery target was met for BwD CCG in June 2016, for the second month in succession with performance at 50.6% (Trust Performance 49.32%) Waiting Times – the standard for 75% of patients to enter treatment within 6 weeks was for BwD CCG in June 2016 at 93.81%, as well as for Q1 at 95.90% (Trust Performance 89.17%/88.96%). The standard for 95% of patients to enter treatment within 18 weeks was also met for BwD in-month at 100%, as well as for Q1 at 100% (Trust Performance 99.53%/99.14%). Early Interventions Psychosis The standard for 50% of patients experiencing a first episode of psychosis (EIP) to commence a NICE concordant package of care within 2 weeks of referral was met for BwD CCG in June, at 50% as well as for Q1, at 61.54% (Trust Performance, 86.70%/82.46%). The numbers are small and that is why this not looked at monthly. Memory Assessment Service The target for 70% of patients to be seen by the Memory Assessment Service (MAS) within 6 weeks was not met for BwD CCG in June 2016 at 30% or at Trust level at 40.11%. The number of patients waiting across Lancashire remains above the target of 500 with 890 patients (on date of meeting now moved to over 1000 with 7.4 weeks waiting time) on the Trust waiting list at the end of June

2016. NH asked how many people have been diagnosed with dementia; with the information not being available at that time, the question was unable to be answered. A three month review of Dementia Primary pathways and Shared Care Protocols has also commenced in Pennine Lancashire led by John McGrath to inform longer-term MAS service redesign. It is felt that something radically different needs to be done with the redesign as currently can’t cope with demand. Are we able to get benchmarking for other areas to help understand the better use of services? A&E 4 Hour The 95% 4 hour waiting time target for A&E was not met in June 2016 at East Lancashire Hospitals Trust (ELHT), with in-month performance at 85.4%. System leaders recognize the importance of recovery against the A&E 4 hour performance standard a scheduled meetings has been planned through the Pennine Lancashire System Resilience Group (SRG), with senior representation focused on the development and ownership of a system wide recovery plan to address the underperformance against the standard. MC responded that this may not be available as Memory Assessment Service varies across the country. However, this may form part of the ongoing review where available. Trolley Wait There were three 12 hour A&E breaches for complex mental health patients reported in June 2016 at ELHT. The Royal College of Psychiatry and Emergency Medicine are undertaking a review in October. Ambulance Handovers In June 2016 there were 329 handovers over 30 minutes, 73 handovers over 60 minutes and 198 missed handover stamps. Performance is linked directly to pressures within the Emergency Department. Time on Stroke Unit Performance against the local target for 80% of patients hasn’t been met for the last couple of months. Functional Independence Measure and Functional Assessment Measure (BwD): percentage of patients achieving an increase in a least 1 domain on the FIM/FAM at point of discharge (for those receiving active rehab) The Functional Independence Measure and Functional Assessment Measure (FIM+FAM) is a measure designed for measuring disability in the brain-injured (i.e. stroke patients). The percentage of patients achieving an increase on the FIM+FAM in at least 1 domain on discharge, for those receiving active rehab, within the BwD area, was 77% during Q1 of 2016/17 against a target of 95%. LCFT report this is due to 4 patients declined input and 3 deceased patients. Mrs Elaine Johnstone (EJ) queried the 3 deceased patients and MC confirmed that this was also raised at the Community Contract meeting, more information expected in future meetings. RESOLVED: The Committee noted the contents of the Quality, Performance

and Effectiveness Report for Month 3, June 2016. Focus Area MC updated the group on the Mental Health Services NICE Report explaining how the report provides an update on the NICE guidance published during quarter 4 2015-16 and gives details of the new guidelines published during quarter one 2016. MC asked the group if looking at these reports is worth continuing to the new Pennine Lancs Quality Committee meeting or whether providing the minutes of the LCFT A&P meeting would suffice as per audit recommendation. CONCLUSION: The group concluded that using the minutes from previous meetings would suffice. CCG Monthly Risk Register Mrs Claire Moir (CM) updated the group on the monthly risk management report. There are 9 operational risks and 7 strategic risks held on the register, which are reviewed weekly at the CCG’s Operational Delivery Group meeting and monthly by the Clinical Chief Officer and the Extended Executive Team meeting. The highest rated strategic risk held on the full CRR is C04.3 (20) Clinical Workforce Capacity. The Extended Executive Team last month has asked that 2013/02 (20) 4 hour A&E target be reviewed. Both Ms Elizabeth Flemming and Mr Alex Walker are working on this. Dr Chris Clayton has asked CM to look at static risks. Initial Health Assessments for Looked After Children 2015/03 are not being completed within 20 working days. ACTION: CM to pick up Initial Health Assessments for Looked After Children with Susan Clarke (SC) Though there are no new risks for inclusion on the CRR, there are however, two assessment forms in progress. No risks have been put forward from QPEC. ACTION: CM to follow up assessment forms CM confirmed that 62 Day Cancer has no change in the risk rating.

Healthwatch Blackburn with Darwen Snapshot of Local Services Dr Malcolm Ridgway updated the group on the Snapshot of Local Services paper. There is a new QOEST Scheme that is going to get into practices. The group considered the Healthwatch Report. A discussion was held around the format of the report and feedback was collated. The group suggested that getting feedback/comments both negative and positive along with stating which practice it refers to would be helpful. The group feels having a representative from Healthwatch to come and give more details on the project at another meeting

would be helpful. ACTION: Mrs Dorothy Ross (DR) sits on the Healthwatch panel and will ask about representation. Lancashire Procedures of Limited Clinical Value Mrs Samantha Jones updated the group on the Procedures of Limited Clinical Value: Policy Review. The purpose of the report is to provide an update in relation to the Pan Lancashire review of Procedures of Limited Clinical Value Policies for discussion and adoption by Blackburn with Darwen CCG. SJ informed the group that the review of the individual policies was underway when this piece of work was taken over. Members of the Pan Lancashire Commissioning Policy Group have undertaken a robust review of each procedural/treatment policy individually. The process has been that each Lancashire CCG will undertake a clinical review of their allocated policy in line with NICE guidance, best practice and use of the clinical evidence/effectiveness available. Drs Gunn, Black and Ridgway have looked at the policy for clinical oversight but feel that they need to go through a policy group as QPEC can review from a quality view only. The current policies have little financial impact and with further work being undertaken by the CCG. Guidelines are being pulled together on policies and visited practices that refer. This information will hopefully be available to see on EMIS (Egton Medical Information System), discussions currently taking place within localities at the moment. EJ commented that Dr Zaki Patel is reviewing the Planned Caesarean and Home Birth policy. Dr Geraint Jones (GJ) asked how we compare to other CCGs? It is felt that a full consultation is needed. ACTION: SJ to send the policies separately, electronically to the committee to review. CONCLUSION: The committee noted the contents of the report but felt that it wasn’t this group’s role to be sighted on these policies and that each area should have a clinical lead who can guide/advise on the policies. The committee advised to take the paper to the next Care Professionals Board as they felt to be the most relevant group. Quarterly Report Quality and Inclusion Mrs Catherine Bentley updated the group on the Equality and Inclusion Quarterly Report. The report provides Blackburn with Darwen Clinical Commissioning Group (CCG) Quality, Performance and Effectiveness Committee with an update on the equality and Inclusion (E&I) work that has been undertaken on behalf of the CCG by the E&I team in the last quarter. ACTION: Equality Inclusion strategy is on-going, CB to send out draft with papers for comment.

The EDS assessment for 2016 was supported by an Equality and Inclusion survey that was distributed to all staff by an email with a link to an electronic survey. With only 42% of staff completing the survey and with a poor response rate, the CCG are going to re-run the survey later on in the year after staff have had an opportunity to attend an Equality and Inclusion training session. Face to face training is preferred and being pushed by managers. The Workforce Race Equality Standard report for 2016 has been uploaded onto the CCGs website by the deadline of 31st July 2016. The WRES report has been sent to NHS England along with a link to the CCGs WTES page on the website. CB went through a number of Equality Impact and Risk Assessments highlighting the Prioritisation Policy that has been sent through to Mrs Samantha Jones for sign off and is expected back soon. The Risk Management Strategy has been signed off along with Community Equipment, though still waiting to see if stage 2 is needed. Under expected EIRAs the Decommission of Chronic Fatigue Syndrome Service currently showing as status requiring EIRA Stage 1, has been funded by Chorley and South Ribble since transfer to CCG. This is now not going to be funded by Chorley and South Ribble and currently work has not been undertaken. This needs to go to commissioners for a decision; it was recommended the Collaborative Commissioning Board may be able to help. CONCLUSION: The committee noted the contents of the Equality and Inclusion Quarterly report. CCG Annual Looked After Children Health Report Mrs Sheila Morris and Mrs Susan Clarke updated the committee on the CCG Annual Looked After Children Health Report. This is the 2015-2016 Blackburn with Darwen CCG report in relation to Looked After Children (LAC) produced in partnership with Lancashire Care Foundation Trust (LCFT), East Lancashire Hospital Trust (ELHT) and Public Health (PH); the report covers the period from 1 April 2015 to 31 March 2016. The purpose of the report is to inform the reader and five assurances that the CCG are meeting their statutory requirements in commissioning services for looked after children that are safe, effective, caring, responsive and well-lead within Blackburn with Darwen (BwD). All targets and strategy guidelines are being achieved. Discussions are on-going around doctor capacity as consultants are struggling with capacity to deliver assessments. The paper is going to the Corporate Parenting Advisory (CPA) Group after being seen by QPEC. It was highlighted that Electronic Care Records should be taken off before going to the CPA Board. SM commented that the narrative in section 14 has been written in the least challenging way. CONCLUSION: The committee noted the contents of the CCG Annual Looked After Children Health Report.

for the provision of Social, Personal and Nursing Care for Adults within a residential setting and the Independent Sector Mental Health Framework (ISMH) managed by Midlands and Lancashire Commissioning Support Unit (CSU) on behalf of Blackburn with Darwen Clinical Commissioning Group (CCG). The Quest4Care (Q4C) pilot continues and there are now 20 nursing providers taking part in the pilot which began in March 2016. Q4C is a web based data collection tool currently being piloted by nursing providers within Chorley and South Ribble, Greater Preston and East Lancashire CCG’s, along with residential providers from Lancashire County Council. Janet Barnsley is helping with this project. Looking at the level of information provided it is showing that no serious incidents have been reported in the last 3 / 4 months. This needs to be looked into as this level of data is self-reporting. The information that has been collected is helping in identifying where homes need additional help/support. ACTION: LW to send report to Mrs Natalie Koncsol (NK) to circulate to the committee. ACTION: Mrs Elaine Johnstone (EJ) and MC to link in with LW to help with the co-ordination of work and ensure that work is duplicated by different departments/people. CONCLUSION: The Committee thanked LW for providing the update around the Quality and Performance Report for Continuing Health Care and Independent Sector Mental Health.

Mr Parr requested that members consider the approach for non-Agenda for Change staff who work for the CCG. Mr Parr drew members’ attention to section 2 of the report which listed all the staff groups affected, i.e. all those subject to local pay scales, and highlighted the cost to the CCG of awarding a 1% increase to those staff groups, which amounted to £6,880 per annum. Mr Parr recommended that the pay award should be consistent across all groups. Questions and answers followed. The Chair stated that the two final groups of staff could not be agreed by the Remuneration Committee, as they involved the Lay Members. Dr Chris Clayton declared a conflict of interest at this point as he was a member of the first staff group. He left the meeting and did not take part in the discussion or decision. The Chair proposed that a 1% increase was offered to the first three staff groups namely; the Clinical Chief Officer and Director of Quality and Primary Care Development; Executive General Practitioners and Clinical Leads. This was agreed by all members. RESOLVED: That the members of the Remuneration Committee agreed to a 1% increase to the three staff groups namely; Clinical Chief Officer and Director of Quality and Primary Care Development; Executive General Practitioners and Clinical Leads.

Minor Surgery Local Improvement Scheme A generic conflict of interest was raised by the GP’s present, and it was agreed they could join in the discussions. Dr Adam Black and Mrs Samantha Jones (SJ) presented the paper which outlined the changes and improvements to the Minor Surgery LIS contract for 2016/17 in response to the recent audit recommendations. The Scheduled Care team undertook a review of the minor surgery activity and scheme as part of the service redesign of Dermatology Services. This highlighted some inconsistencies in the activity levels and tariffs claimed by different practices as part of the Local Improvement Service (LIS) 2 contract. Mersey internal Audit Agency (MIAA) were asked to review the current procedures and their advice was to change the current LIS Contract. The MIAA concentrated on three areas, LIS payment arrangements, contractual rules and CCG Authorisation process and 7 recommendations were made, which required input and support from the CCG and MLSCU support teams. Mrs Samantha Jones had already met with the 5 Minor Surgery GP Practices and discussed the changes. A discussion took place regarding cost saving and the service specifications, and referrals, which included skill mixes, using nurses to carry out minor procedures and GPs doing their own injections, and all agreed that the next phase of Mini Surgery review should be undertaken. Conclusion: CBG noted the content of the report and accepted the recommendations from the MIAA.

Rightcare/QIPP Update – Mr Neil Holt did his regular monthly update on Right Care / QIPP to CBG. Mr Neil Holt asked the CBG to note three areas identified.
• Medicines Waste • Rightcare Variations • The Red Box Gap
There are still other areas to scope, and we are currently picking up the 3 high priority areas which will have the maximum impact to close the gap. The issue of the Red Box Gap is being cascaded through correspondences by Dr Chris Clayton to the members. It was agreed if the members understood the nature of the challenge faced by the CCG that they would be more supportive and therefore this should also be an agenda item on Hot Topic Events, Senate and Locality Meetings.
CONCLUSION: The Operational Group continue to meet weekly to discuss the QIPP Gap, the schemes and what can be achieved, and these are reviewed weekly through the Executive Team Meeting.

Lancashire and South Cumbria Change Programme (LSCCP) – Update Mrs Debbie Nixon gave a brief verbal update on the STP submissions from the LSCCP. As requested at the previous CBG, Mrs Debbie Nixon confirmed that the draft submission was 16th September 2016, with the final draft submission being 6th October 2016 and the full narrative being completed by 30th October 2016.

09/16/09 Community Equipment Service (CES) – Long Term Provision Mrs Lisa Kiernan presented the paper on Dr Penny Morris’s behalf. In May 2016 Blackburn with Darwen Clinical Commissioning Group (CCG) and Blackburn with Darwen Borough Council (BwDBC) undertook a procurement exercise to appoint a short term stability partner to deliver CES in the short term to ensure continuity of service provision. Medequip were the only providers who submitted a tender and were subsequently appointed to deliver the service. Medequip are the appointed providers of the CES for the rest of Lancashire and therefore Blackburn with Darwen had the advantage of being able to use Midlands and Lancashire Commissioning Support Unit (MLCSU) contracting and procurement support to ensure the service replicates the wider Lancashire offer. The stability partner has been appointed on 6 month contract with effect from 1 June 2016 with the option to extend on a month by month basis for up to a further 6 months. The specification and timescales for the procurement of a permanent partner were discussed and CBG were asked to support the specification for the tender process. ACTION: CBG agreed the Specification
09/16/10 Terms of Reference (TORs) Dr Randall presented the TORs and asked CBG to agree the amendments to the change in Chair and addition of Deputy Chair.
