  1. Clinicians commissioning healthcare for the people of North Tyneside Our vision Working together to maximise the health and wellbeing of North Tyneside communities by making the best use of NHS resources

  2. Recent NHS Reforms • Coalition government 2010 • White Paper in 2010 • “Equity and Excellence: Liberating the NHS” • Health and Social Care Bill (2012) – biggest change since the inception of the NHS

  3. Reasons for clinical commissioning • GPs are in a better position to • Know what care needs to be commissioned • Are advocates for patients • Identify where efficiencies can be made • Work with hospitals to improve quality • Streamline the NHS • Less bureaucratic • More local, rather than central control • More local accountability, to local people

  4. Partnership working With the local authority – health and wellbeing board, joint partnership boards With local NHS providers – hospitals, mental health trust, ambulance service etc. Independent providers for example pharmacists, out of hours service Voluntary and community organisations

  5. Local structural changes • All GP practices will be part of a clinical commissioning group (CCG) by April 2013 • CCGs will be responsible for purchasing most of the health care for their patients and population • CCGs will be statutory bodies that will take over responsibility for commissioning health services currently done by primary care trusts (PCTs) from 1 April 2013

  6. What should feel different? • Increased patient choice • Increased patient and public involvement • ‘No decision about me, without me’ • Closer working between health and social care

  7. In North Tyneside: • Originally 2 CCGs • Established Spring 2010 • CareFirst – 18 practices (mainly covering, Wallsend, North Shields, North West) • Engage Health – 11 practices mainly covering Whitley Bay • Formally became NHS North Tyneside CCG from 1st April 2012

  8. Health spending context The health budget for North Tyneside is £398 million - roughly equivalent to £1800 per person The CCG is responsible for £301m of this and is roughly spent as follows: Northumbria Hospitals - £109m Newcastle Hospitals - £67m Prescribing - £37m Community Services - £30m Mental Health Trust - £18m Continuing and Funded Nursing Care - £14m Ambulance Service - £7m

  9. Health spending context 2 • The rest (£97 million) is the responsibility of the NHS Commissioning Board and includes spending on the following: • Specialised services - £32m • Primary care - £29m • Opticians, dentists & pharmacists - £19m

  10. Working together

  11. Five themes Improving the quality of services Managing demand and getting value for money Increasing access and choice Promoting self-care, care planning and independence Expanding prevention & wellbeing programmes

  12. Working together We want to know: If you still support those themes Where to focus more of our time, effort, and money for the coming year If there are any gaps/ important things to note

  13. Working together • Four public engagement events were held across North Tyneside in October 2012. • Events were held in Longbenton (3 Oct), Howdon (4 Oct), Whitley Bay (11 Oct) and North Shields (15 Oct) at various times of the day, to maximise the number of people able to attend. • Members of the CCG also attended a GP patient participation group in late October. • Online survey (deadline for submissions 31 October)
