  3. We are both pleased to introduce this joint Transition Plan. NHS Peterborough and Peterborough Community Services (PCS) are committed to ensuring there is a strong community provider that ensures that the ‘unique’ integration of health and social care is sustained. There is a shared belief that full separation and ultimate Community Foundation Trust (CFT) status will benefit the people served by NHS Peterborough and PCS by providing a solid platform from which to maintain a balanced portfolio of the highest quality and most cost effective health and social care community services delivering maximum public value .   The assessment process for CFT status, including strict scrutiny of the governance and financial systems, will provide NHS Peterborough with assurance that PCS has the qualities to remain a major provider of community services in Peterborough. Contestability of community services will be an ‘ongoing’ process. The Transition Plan outlines a plan for ensuring that contestability and choice is at the heart of community services provision, ensuring continuous improvement in both the quality of services and a continued emphasis on supporting personalisation, choice and control to meet local peoples needs. It is critical to ensure that we can best meet the aspirations of our population with viable providers that can deliver high quality care closer to home and where appropriate in peoples homes. To conclude, NHSP is committed to supporting PCS achieve CFT status in the full belief that this is the best model for the future delivery of our integrated health and adult social care community services. A great deal of progress has already been made to transform the PCS into a World Class Provider and the PCT into a World Class Commissioner. This Transition Plan outlines the next steps in that journey. We are jointly committed to ensuring this is successfully delivered for the people of Peterborough by achieving strong, vibrant and viable community services for the future.

  4. EXECUTIVESUMMARY ‘Our Organisation is unique. We commission and provide both health and adult social care services to the people of Peterborough.’ Our Peterborough Transition Plan describes the journey we are taking to establish our directly managed primary and community services as a separate, viable, independent organisation, offering high quality services to meet the needs of our local community. It is the joint plan of NHS Peterborough and Peterborough Community Services and forms part of the PCT’s World Class Commissioning Development Plan. Our journey to separation started in 2006, when Peterborough PCT was established following the publication of ‘Commissioning a Patient Led NHS’ (CPLNHS) in August 2005. CPLNHS proposed that, to allow PCTs to focus on their commissioning role, they should consider divesting themselves of their directly managed provider services. Our journey is likely to continue to 2012 and beyond. We have acted on CPLNHS recommendations by assessing all of the options open to our community services, identifying our preferred model and separating our provider services into an Arms Length Trading Organisation (ALTO). We have determined that the best future organisational model for Peterborough Community Services is that of a community foundation trust (CFT). This is the only model that appears to be acceptable to Our key stakeholders mainly because, as a CFT and a statutory organisation, we could continue to provide the integrated health and adult social care services which are so important to us in Peterborough. We also believe that the process of preparing to become a CFT will ensure that our community services are delivered in the most effective and efficient way possible. Our Transition Plan describes our journey so far and the journey we still have to make to reach our desired destination. We have already made significant progress and are aware that we still have a great deal to do to transform PCS into an organisation fit to be a CFT. The time line shown below sets out this journey. We have estimated the time we will need based on the experience of foundation trusts and the pilot community foundation trust who have advised us that the process is long and the time line is likely to change frequently. 2006 2007 2008 2009 2010 2011 2012 NHSP established Next Steps/Moving PCS established PCS on FT pipeline Service transformation Apply to Peterborough Separate Provider Forward Projects as an ALTO and established & business readiness SoS & Monitor established Directorate CFT Model confirmed as an APO for CFT status as a CFT?

  5. EXECUTIVE SUMMARY • NHS East of England have asked that our Transition plan responds to the following questions: • How our plans for provider unit separation will lead to contestability and competition for community services; • How we will strengthen our commissioning of these services to ensure commissioner-led redesign of services • Staff and stakeholder engagement plan and communications strategy • Provider separation arrangements • Identification of organisational models and their appraisal leading to preferred selection • Development of robust business plans for preferred model(s) and their evaluation for appropriateness, viability and sustainability • Business continuity plans for the period of development • Development and training plan for skills and competencies to assist providers make successful transition to new forms • Risk assessment, mitigation and management plan • A timeline with key milestones identified • Transitional costs • We have set out our plan in four main chapters to cover these questions. These are:

  6. ‘Peterborough Community Services is aspiring to perform as a World Class provider and operate as a Community Foundation Trust’ OUR TRANSITION PLAN NHS Peterborough (NHSP) has decided to separate the services it directly provides, known as Peterborough Community Services (PCS), into an autonomous organisation and ideally establish it as a Community Foundation Trust (CFT) for Peterborough. Our Transition Plan describes our journey from the beginning when we were established as Peterborough PCT in 2006(we are now called NHS Peterborough) and separated our provider services into one directorate. It covers the progress we have made by separating our provider services into an Arms Length Trading Organisation (ALTO), agreeing our preferred long term organisational models for our different service groups and confirming our commissioning plans for community services which include how we will develop the market for community services and ensure contestability. It includes work we have already started to become an Autonomous Provider Organisation (APO) and transform our services by understanding our services better and identifying areas where we can improve. Our transition plan then moves on to set out a challenging programme to change our services and business infrastructure to ensure that PCS can operate as an independent viable organisation delivering high quality services which respond to our commissioners' requirements and meet the needs of our local community. We have described our future plans in the section on our Integrated Business Plan. Our plan forms part of our World Class Commissioning Development Plan and is a joint plan between NHSP and PCS. 2006 2007 2008 2009 2010 2011 2012 NHSP established Next Steps/Moving PCS established PCS on FT pipeline Service transformation Apply to Peterborough Separate Provider Forward Projects as an ALTO and established & business readiness SoS & Monitor established Directorate CFT Model confirmed as an APO for CFT status as a CFT?

  7. OUR TRANSITION PLAN: Guiding Principles Context Principles Objectives • The Transition Plan has been • prepared in the context of the • following National, regional and local • policy, guidance and requirements: • Commissioning a Patient Led NHS’, August 2005, • Our Health; Our Care; Our Say, 2006, • Every Child Matters, 2003 • Putting People First, October 2007 • High Quality Care for All, June 2008, • The NHS Operating Framework, 2009/20010 • Transforming Community Services: Enabling new patterns of provision’ 2009 • Improving Lives; Saving Lives, NHS East of England, 2007 • Towards the Best, Together, NHS East of England • Peterborough PCT Strategic Service Development Plan, 2007- 2012 • Joint Strategic Needs Assessment for Peterborough, 2007 • Section 75 Partnership Agreement for adult social care services with Peterborough City Council • NHS Peterborough 5 year Strategy • ‘Living Longer, Living Well’ 2009 • Annual Accountability Agreement 2009-2010 with Peterborough City Council • ‘Transforming Community Services’ • sets out a number of guiding • principles which have been used to • underpin our transition plan and • associated programmes and projects. • They are summarised as follows: • Interests of patients and carers are paramount • Quality is the organising principle • There is a clear commissioning strategy • Proposals must deliver value for money • Decisions about services should be made locally and include consultation • Services should be designed to meet local need • Staff, unions and stakeholders must be involved in decisions • High standards of human resource management • Processes must be clear, robust and transparent • Proposals must enable integrated care, with Local Authorities, World Class Commissioning and patient choice • Proposals must fit DH principles and rules for cooperation and competition • Options are equality impact assessed • Service continuity, assets and staff pensions must be safeguarded • The Next Stage Review, High • Quality Care for All, identified a • number of objectives to achieve the • vision for community services. These • have been taken into account in our • transition plan. • They are: • Make quality our organising principle • Empower staff to improve patient care and focus on quality • Enable World Class Commissioning • Provide direction and strengthen leadership • Promote patient choice • Foster appropriate competition to drive better service quality and value for money • Protect assets and the interests of taxpayers and ensure flexibility • Ensure the provision of safe, fit for purpose buildings

  8. “In order to facilitate Monitor’s review of the Integrated Business Plan, PCS should maintain the robust project management disciplines, including the availability of clear and balanced supporting documentary evidence, that have been in place to date in the Moving Forward project.” NHSP: Provider Services – Audit Commissioned ‘red risk review’, December 2008, PriceWaterhouseCooper OUR TRANSITION PLAN:Our Approach From the start, we have managed the separation using formal project management to ensure that the agreed aims and objectives are delivered. Our Transition Plan is complex and will require many projects and activities to achieve the desired outcomes. Our approach for this next stage of the transition is to use a programme management approach to ensure that all the projects and related activities are integrated and coordinated to achieve maximum benefits. The Transforming Peterborough Community Services Programme incorporates two programmes: the Transition Programme and the Transformation Programme. An overall Project Initiation Document and Programme Structure sets out the objectives, scope, approach, key issues, organisational arrangements, assumptions and constraints in more detail and is supported by an action plan and risk log. Five strategic workstreams have been established to ensure that all the objectives are achieved and the resulting changes are embedded throughout the organisation. They are: Governance, Finance, People, Commercial and Operations.

  9. OUR TRANSITION PLAN:Costs and Assurance Our Transition Costs Using a recognised formula applied to organisational changes we have estimated a total transition cost equivalent to approximately 2% of turnover spent over a three year period. Assuming an amended recurring income of £69m our transition costs will be £1.3m. We can expect to spend approximately 50% of this in the first year with reducing amounts in the subsequent two years. An additional 2% efficiency each year for three years would generate the equivalent of 6% or £4.1m. In addition, it has been estimated that approximately £0.6m will be required for non-recurring transitional costs. NHSP has agreed in principle that there is a need to recognise the cost of transition and will address this as part of its overall financial plan for 2009/10 and beyond. The Business Case agreed by the PCT Board estimated additional recurrent revenue costs of £1.3m to operate PCS as a CFT. Transition costs cover three areas: Additional Capacity associated with being a fit for purpose organisation, Transformational Costs associated with building a sustainable future, Additional Costs associated with being a separate organisation e.g. external audit. OUR ASSURANCE The SHA have asked six questions to provide assurance that the Transition Plan will lead to the required standards for provider separation. We believe that our plan, together with other supporting evidence, demonstrates that we have fully achieved all the requirements and, in many cases, exceed them. Under the RAG rating, we have scored ourselves ‘green’

  10. OUR TRANSITION PLAN: Timeline

  11. ‘The future focus will be on moving care into the community, the home, and other primary care settings ‘ Our Plans for Commissioning Community Services: Vision for community services The challenge of enabling 21st century health and adult social care services in Peterborough is both ambitious and formidable. With the new City Care Centre opening in 2009, a new hospital, new mental health facilities, and with more accessible services planned in its neighbourhoods, the ambition to ensure 21st century care has started well. However, some of Peterborough’s population still have poorer health outcomes, shorter life expectancy and a higher burden of disease than their neighbours. Consequently as the local leaders of the National Health Service, we are determined to see that picture change. NHS Peterborough takes very seriously the responsibility of working with organisational partners and listening and working with local people to change the patterns of the past to deliver a better future for the health and well being of the people of Peterborough. With the current economic outlook the underlying theme is that service change and improvement must be undertaken through redesign, modernisation and improved efficiency of existing services. A key focus will be to use hospital services for the more complex and specialist care, whilst continuing a comprehensive programme to increasingly support care delivery within the home and other community and primary care based settings; this will be achieved through creating financial flexibility by disinvestment in outmoded or outdated services and detailed robust service specification leading to (re) investment in new 21st century services that meet the needs of individual patients and service users in Peterborough. Our Strategic Plan “Living longer, Living Well” and the directly related 2009/10 Operational Plan are the outcomes of key planning processes within NHS Peterborough which are derived from extensive engagement with partners via the Sustainable Community Strategy and Local Area Agreement and most importantly, are underpinned by listening carefully to the views of local people. The ongoing strategy of shifting care (outpatient, minor and routine surgery, some invasive procedures) away from hospitals into a community setting has and will continue, to present opportunities for community providers including Peterborough Community Services, to grow their businesses. Our planning processes and commissioning intentions have informed the parallel business planning and related processes of PCS contained within this Transition plan. We are confident that our strategic aims have been communicated effectively and are at the centre of PCS’s mission to provide cost effective, high quality services which meet specified outcomes.

  12. ‘PCS’ vision is to provide competitive, integrated health and social care services which contribute to individual well-being.’ Our Plans for Commissioning Community Services: Vision for community services (Continued) Driven by the action plans emanating from the current Organisation Development Plan process, NHS Peterborough’s enhanced world class commissioning (WCC) approach (throughout the whole of the commissioning cycle) will, over the next two to three years or so, undertake a market segmentation analysis in relation to community services. Where appropriate and possible this will lead to market stimulation and lead to enhanced choice for service users and patients and value for money. Concurrent with the segmentation of the community services health and social care markets, reviews of PCS services within those market segments will be undertaken. Each service or set of related services along a current or proposed future pathway or pathway redesign will then be robustly examined and analysed as to their current and future fitness for purpose. It is envisaged that all services provided by PCS will be reviewed in the next three years. Where redesign or re-specification is sought the NHS Peterborough Principles of Contestability will be used to determine whether PCS services will be subject to full contestability within the market place or that the qualifying conditions for ‘non contestability’ apply and a collaborative commissioner led redesign approach will be undertaken with Peterborough Community Services and other providers if applicable. (i.e. GPs and Peterborough and Stamford Hospitals Foundation Trust) NHS Peterborough is committed to ensuring that over the next two to three years, through the series of robust reviews outlined that PCS will be perfectly placed as a strong provider with a portfolio of high quality, outcome based, value for money community services. This will be coupled with a drive to ensure that the market for services is stimulated, developed and managed so that, where appropriate and right, services that may currently be provided by PCS are provided by other organisations in order to best serve the individual preferences and needs of the population of Peterborough. The corollary of this is that PCS will also be able as a strong provider to grow its business in ‘core areas’ where it is strongest and that best fit its own strategic direction as a provider in a timed and managed way. Thus there will be a strong and sustainable platform to move from being an Arms Length Trading Organisation (ALTO) to an independent Community Foundation Trust (CFT) .

  13. ‘Understanding the developing market is a key focus for NHSP and PCS' Our Plans for Commissioning Community Services: Market Development As part of our Organisation Development we will manage and develop the market to give a clear approach to addressing the market development issues of a) segmenting the market through client groups, care pathways and geographical areas b) identification of gaps in the market and attraction of new providers and c) a greater understanding of provider economics and quality will emerge. Following on from the regionally led Health Market Analysis Project 2008 which NHS Peterborough Commissioner’s took part in, the methodology undertaken will form a basis for the type of approach that NHS Peterborough will take for Health and Adult Social Care market development. The Methodology of the 7 step approach to Market Development is broadly as follows: • Segmentation - an initial approach to common segmentation informing data collection to support economic analysis • Demand Forecasts – demand modelling focusing on utilisation by disease category • Service Analysis – aspects of service quality analysed using common metrics across the EoE region, similar PCT comparators and the national average. • Economic Attributes – economic structure of services in EoE analysed using data on expenditure, providers and contracting • Priorities – prioritised services for further review following demand, service and economic analysis • Options – market development options pursued for the prioritised services • Road Map – showing the way forward to the creation of a more diverse and vibrant market for community services.

  14. Our Plans for Commissioning Community Services:NHS Peterborough Strategic and Operational Planning NHS Peterborough’s “Living longer, living well” 5 year Strategic Plan 2009-2014 in line with national and regional priorities and policy development, has four overarching sustained NHS Peterborough strategic priorities: ♦Promoting Healthy Lifestyles ♦ Reducing Health Inequalities ♦Supporting Vulnerable People ♦Improving Access Within each of these strategic priorities the strategic plan and the yearly Operational Plan 09/10 states specific and targeted goals and explains how focused activity, with clear timelines underpinned by a financial plan will meet national, regional and local health and social care expectations. The 5 year Strategic Plan and this year’s Operational Plan categorise within 17 Goals the specific areas for action and achievement. They are as follows Over the next 5 years PCS has a key role to play either directly or indirectly in enabling the achievement of almost all of the strategic goals of NHS Peterborough. Promoting Healthy Lifestyles Goal 1: We will reduce the number of smokers in Peterborough Goal 2: We will halt the rise in obesity in all age groups and reduce childhood obesity Goal 3: We will reduce under 18 conceptions and improve the sexual health of our population Goal 4: We will reduce the harm caused by drug and alcohol substance misuse. Reducing Health Inequalities Goal 1: We will reduce the morbidity and mortality for coronary heart disease and stroke with a focus on our most deprived communities Goal 2: We will reduce the morbidity and mortality from cancer Goal 3: We will reduce the morbidity and mortality from chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, with a focus on our most deprived communities Goal 4: We will reduce infant mortality in our most deprived communities Supporting Vulnerable People Goal 1: We will ensure services safeguard the vulnerable Goal 2: We will improve and maintain the health and independence of older people Goal 3: We will enable inclusion for those with mental illness and learning disability Goal 4: We will support carers Goal 5: We will ensure modern and responsive services are provided for people with disabilities Improving Access Goal 1: We will increase personalisation, choice and control Goal 2: We will commission more care to be delivered closer to home Goal 3: We will drive up quality and access to both general practice and dentistry Goal 4: We will commission first class maternity care

  15. ‘Contestability will be the key to competitive, high quality, best value services' Our Plans for Commissioning Community Services: The evolution of Peterborough Community Services via strengthened commissioning and contestability Both commissioners within NHS Peterborough and providers within PCS hold a shared vision of what full separation and ultimate Community Foundation Trust (CFT) status would mean for patients and social care service users. CFT status would provide a solid platform from which to maintain and where prudent enhance a balanced portfolio of the highest quality and most cost effective health and social care community services. Peterborough is a pioneer in the integration of health and social care services. A pooled budget and annual accountability agreement with Peterborough City Council, through a Section 75 Partnership Agreement for adult social care services with Peterborough City Council, enables NHS Peterborough to commission via Peterborough Community Services a full range of integrated health and social care services for adults and older people  in a variety of settings (e.g.  A Healthy Living Centre and imminently a new City Care Centre).  The integrated nature of health and social care services within PCS provides a high degree of assurance to the PCT as commissioner that service delivery will be maintained throughout the process of transformation. Through the careful and robust implementation of key principles of contestability outlined below a balanced and planned approach to testing contestability is already well underway in relation to the services provided by Peterborough Community Services. Over the next two to three years all of the services provided by PCS will be part of a robust and comprehensive set of service reviews and mutually sequenced and coordinated Programme Budget Reviews.

  16. ‘Through a managed market process, we will ensure our community receives the best service available, with minimal disruption to their care’ Our Plans for Commissioning Community Services: Principles of Contestability NHS Peterborough recognises that it has a leadership role in the development, stewardship and management of the local health and social care provider market. In doing this NHS Peterborough recognises the contribution and expertise of the local authority, the third sector, the independent sector and other NHS partners in developing a successful world class contestability and robust market management approach. The probability of risk of service disruption through ‘rushed’ procurement is mitigated if not eliminated by NHS Peterborough systematically and robustly undergoing a cycle of commissioning/contestability and the specific implementation of the principles of contestability. Contestability is best achieved through a managed market process where the risks and rewards to patients and service users, providers and NHS Peterborough are thoroughly and consistently appraised and acted upon. This sometimes subtle balance between risks and rewards needs to be under-pinned by a commissioning/procurement implementation plan which provides insight, research and full comprehension of supply sectors and providers, their motivations and behaviours and economic/cost environment. Over the next three years all of PCS’s services will be reviewed. Following the review of each service three principles of contestation (which are logically derived from the strategic context and theoretical framework outlined above.) will be applied to determine whether or not formal ‘contestation’ will be carried out or not.

  17. ‘Maintaining a balanced health economy for Peterborough is a key objective’ Our Plans for Commissioning Community Services: Principle 1: When to contest a service The events or qualifying conditions that may trigger the contestation of the provision of a service are as follows: ♦Substantive concerns about less than optimum quality, effectiveness, strategic fit or cost effectiveness of an existing service ♦New National and/or Regional policy guidance and interpretation ♦ The end of previously awarded contract terms ♦Commissioning of a new service for which there is no existing provider ♦ The commissioning of an existing service when it involves a substantive change in its delivery model (e.g. different setting, different skill mix, reconfigured care pathway) ♦Or as a consequence of new technology and its application. Principle 2: When not to contest a service Any decision not to contest a service will be determined by the scrutiny of demonstrable clear and transparent evidence as to which of the “qualifying conditions” have been met in a individual case. The non contestation qualifying conditions are as follows: ♦Timescale genuinely precludes the ability to provide a safe continuity of service provision or the timely delivery of a new required service. ♦Specialist source. Only one provider or provider designation has already taken place at National or regional level . ♦Service must be provided by a particular provider to protect essential public services; this may include consideration of the potential destabilisation of other services but must not be used to protect providers that are not best placed to deliver the needs of their patients and service users and the relevant population. ♦Where failure to award a contract to a preferred provider would place other core services at a significant risk of destabilisation ♦Any willing providers arrangements are in place ♦There is a clear and demonstrable benefit to be gained from maintaining or establishing integration with an existing service due to very strong service alliances. However in such cases the benefits of such integration must exceed any potential quality or financial advantage to be gained by competitive tendering. ♦Where through probing market analysis there is not a reasonable expectation of competition with no more than one provider coming forward Principle 3: Identification of Risk Mitigation of risk for NHS Peterborough is paramount in its central role as commissioner. Additional risks to NHS Peterborough in relation to market testing and introduction of new services and providers may include: ♦Decreases in service quality ♦Continuity problems ♦Lack of initial or ongoing capacity with concomitant effects on performance targets ♦Allied market stability problems ♦Deleterious financial effects ♦Adverse reputation management In evaluating whether to formally ‘contest’ or ‘not contest’ a service (via the application of the components of principles (1 and 2) above, the risk mitigation issues in principle 3 will be thoroughly researched and addressed in the decision making process and if applicable the subsequent procurement route chosen.

  18. ‘NHSP and PCS were part of the national testing process for the new NHS Community Contract, giving us a shared insight into the benefits of the new contract’ Our Plans for Commissioning Community Services: Strengthening of Commissioning The commissioning of community services is being strengthened through formal monitoring of the new NHS Contract for Community Services by a Contract and Performance Group and the management at a strategic level of in year developments by a Strategic Development Group coupled with an ongoing review of services within an overall Programme Budget approach. The NHS Contract for Community Services NHS Peterborough has utilised the National NHS Contract for Community Services as a SLA so as to be able to facilitate the use of the format in its full legal sense at the point that Peterborough Community Services becomes an Autonomous Provider Organisation. The NHS Peterborough / PCS Community NHS contract was successfully agreed on schedule for 2009/2010. A formal set of two interlocking PCS/PCT commissioner forums each with their own specific focus has been established. The Contract and Performance Group (CPG) was established in April 2009 with membership from the PCT, PCS and associate commissioners from neighbouring PCT areas. Its remit is to review progress against existing SLAs between PCS, NHSP and other associate PCTs. NHS Peterborough PCT will be the lead Commissioner for those neighbouring PCTs who wish to be involved, so forming a multilateral contract with PCS at the point it becomes an Autonomous Provider Organisation (APO). The Strategic Development Group (SDG) has been established between PCS and the PCT, in the first instance, with a joint chairing arrangement between NHS Peterborough Commissioners and PCS to project manage an in-year Work Development Programme for 2009/10. Both the Contract and Performance Group (CPG) and Strategic Development Group (SDG) will meet monthly.

  19. Our Plans for Commissioning Community Services: Strengthening of Commissioning ‘ The information collected and reported by PCS is continually improving to provide accurate, timely and useful performance reports to both the PCS and PCT Executive and Boards’ • The CPG will use key available metrics to monitor performance against agreed specifications, the overall financial quantum of the contract and to review the performance of the contract to ensure that all national targets and milestones, together with any locally agreed targets, are met within the agreed plans, and that effective steps are taken to resolve issues which may adversely impact on the delivery of these targets. In addition consideration will be made of any capacity issues that may arise during the course of the contract period initiating the appropriate review to support the effective delivery of services. • As part of the NHS Contract for Community Services a CQUIN incentive scheme payment of 0.5% of the NHS contract value has been agreed. This provides an incentive for PCS to provide specified quality data in a timely manner in the following areas: • Maximum 18 Week Referral to Treatment Targets for non consultant led targets with key quality markers to aid responsive delivery • Minimum Data sets across all services within the year for ten key items of data (e.g. postcode, date of birth) • Financial information • Pilot CQUIN (prior to national implementation) in terms of Safety, Effectiveness and service users across 4 services. • Establishing, maintaining and regularly reporting on the clear links between the 5 year Strategic Plan, the yearly Operational Plan, the NHS Standard Community Contract and the in year Work Development Plan will ensure progress across the commissioning cycle within a demonstrably robust WCC framework. Relevant and appropriate performance software will be utilised to enable this process. • NHS Peterborough is confident that the appropriate level of capability and capacity that is required by the commissioners to complete fully the key tasks of managing and monitoring the contract with PCS and therefore providing support and assurance to the transition process will be in place.

  20. Our Plans for Commissioning Community Services: Strengthening of Commissioning ‘Balancing investment and disinvestment in specific Service areas will be crucial’ • Programme Budget Reviews • Delivery of the Strategic Plan is based upon recognition of the need to change the way services are delivered if financial balance is to be achieved. This will involve investing in some areas and disinvesting in other areas. A programme of service reviews, managed by a board convened by NHS Peterborough, will be implemented. It will use Programme Budget and Health Outcome data to review 100% of the expenditure and identify areas where outcome is poor and/or expenditure is high. This will instigate service redesign to meet the strategic objectives, generate financial efficiencies and release resources for reinvestment. • The comparative work has highlighted a number of areas that may require changes in services and service models currently provided by PCS including: • Learning Disability • Respiratory • Musculoskeletal System problems • Adult Social Care

  21. Our Plans for Commissioning Community Services: 2009/10 key developments NHSP and PCS will work together to review, redesign and develop services Outlined below are some of the key planned and ongoing developments within 2009/10 which will have major direct or indirect impacts on PCS activity. Chronic Heart Disease By December 2010 NHS Peterborough will re-commission comprehensive cardiac rehabilitation services with a clear methodology for identifying, treating and following up those patients post myocardial infarction (MI) with extension of this to all those manifesting with CHD symptoms by 2011. A regional Cardiac Rehabilitation service specification is currently being used as a template to inform the design of a local template. There is expected to be a move away from the ‘sequential phases’ of the current ‘heart manual’ approach to a menu driven approach. There is a potential impact on PCS as it currently provides part of the current cardiac rehabilitation approach and the reconfiguration of the CHD rehabilitation pathway will provide for a shift of activity within it through a contestable procurement process. Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease Currently in conjunction with the East of England SHA a COPD Care Pathway is being redesigned to the Gold standard (2008). This includes aspects of prevention and public awareness through to clinical intervention and spans primary care, secondary care and rehabilitation. A community based pulmonary rehabilitation service which will lead to positive outcomes for service users is planned to be established within the Healthy Living Centre by December 2010. There is a potential impact on PCS as it currently provides part of the current arrangements through respiratory nurse staff and the reconfiguration of the COPD rehabilitation pathway will provide for a shift of activity within it through a contestable procurement process. Learning Disability A Priority Based Review of Learning Disability services is currently being undertaken. This review will include all learning disability services commissioned by NHS Peterborough. The current level/model of service will be defined as a baseline against which alternative levels of service can be developed. The service and financial impact taking into account risks, quality and benefit will then be developed for a variety of option levels – minimum, intermediate, current and enhanced. Service users will take part throughout the process assisted where appropriate by their advocates. When a preferred option is selected then it is envisaged elements of the learning disability service will be redesigned and potentially tendered for. Musculoskeletal Assessment and Treatment Service (MATS) The existing musculoskeletal system in NHS Peterborough has used a Musculoskeletal Assessment and Treatment Service (MATS) since October 2007 to assess and triage the majority of GP referrals into the local system. The main purpose of that system is to improve the quality of referrals reaching its main provider of secondary care, Peterborough and Stamford Hospitals Foundation Trust (PSHFT). The service is currently being reviewed and proposals for redesign and re-specification will be developed by May 2009 with the scope to consider wider integration with Pain Management Services.

  22. Our Plans for Commissioning Community Services:2009/2010 Key Developments continued Self Directed Support Self directed support (SDS) incorporating individual budgets (IB) in social care commissioning are a key to developing choice for service users. The development of an Independent Living Support Services Access and Information Centre (ILSS AIC) is central to the success of ensuring contestability within the Self Directed Service program. An Independent organisation, providing advice and guidance to service users, carers, or their representatives and general members of the public will promote the development of the service user driven market, and allow real choice in service provision. The AIC is currently in the procurement phase and is anticipated to commence operation on the 1st October 2009. The operator of the AIC will not be allowed to provide services. Once fully operational it is anticipated that the AIC will become the information centre for all of the population of Peterborough who require Adult Social Care Services, care and housing support, advice or assessment. The ability of individuals to direct their own individual social care budgets to their preferred provider and the move away from block or ‘purchasing intention’ contracts to “any willing provider” status will ensure over time a far more competitive market place. Older Peoples Accommodation Strategy Six Peterborough City Council Older Peoples Homes are managed and staffed by Peterborough Community Services. In June 2009 PCC Cabinet members will finalise agreement for a substantive redesign programme for this provision to include potentially extra care housing, respite facilities, health and well being and dementia resources. Procurement of these services will be undertaken in line with key principles of contestability over the next two years. There are additional developments already at the implementation stage which are offering new ongoing developments for PCS in 2009/10 for instance: A Stroke Coordinator with specific DH Social Care funding for two years is to be recruited and employed by PCS to support patients, carers and organisations across Peterborough to enable more effective and efficient working along the stroke pathway. An Integrated Diabetes service within the Healthy Living Centre facilitated by PCS has been in operation from April 2009.

  23. Our Plans for Commissioning Community Services: Timeline

  24. Our Plans for Commissioning Community Services: Services to be reviewed

  25. ‘We have a clear strategy and timeline to achieve the successful development of PCS as a CFT' Our Plans for Commissioning Community Services: Conclusion The strategy outlined above will be further formalised and supported by a NHS Peterborough Procurement Plan in line with the October 2009 timetable set out in Transforming Community Services: Enabling new Patterns of provision. This procurement plan with its time-line informed at a summary level by the “Review of Community Services 2009-2012 Timeline” will be organised in four thematic areas: The assessment of relevant markets (including the need for services, market structure, competition, capacity and innovation) The evaluation of existing contracts (measured by their performance, efficiency, demand and fitness for purpose) The evaluation of procurement options (by outcomes, attractiveness and whether in lots or a whole and/or from a single or multi source) The evaluation of procurement routes (e.g. EU part A or B options) NHS Peterborough commissioners and PCS are confident that with a clear strategy and timeline of commissioning developments and reviews, a well defined and increasingly robust contract relationship and a transparent, objective, relevant and fair view of contestability, that the road from ALTO to CFT will be achievable within the timescale outlined. Reports used: NHS Peterborough “Living longer, living well” 5 Year Strategic Plan 2009-2014 NHS Peterborough Operational Plan 2009/10 Transforming Community Services PPCT working paper entitled “Programme Based Budgeting for Health – Summary of 2006/7 data. Programme Budgeting Report Peterborough PCT – Eastern Region Public Health Observatory Community Services – Separation – Tool 1 – Implementation Planning – Deloittes – East of England – January 2009 – V1.0

  26. ‘PCS has a track record for genuine and inclusive public consultation’ Our Journey so far: Identifying our preferred organisational model – Public consultation Our Journey began in 2006, when Peterborough PCT was established and brought together all the provider services into a single directorate. The provider arm started to look at its future options should in be separated from the PCT and commissioned a feasibility study of all potential models and in 2007, the PCT and provider arm set up the Next Steps project. The project was tasked with recommending the future direction and best organisational model (s) for the provider services to the PCT Board. Work groups were established to consider the legal, commercial and workforce implications of the options, to engage with staff and the public and carry out a formal public consultation. Five possible organisational forms were identified and matched against the seven service groups. • The outcome of the public • Consultation was: • All services transferred to an ALTO • The directly managed GP Practices transferred to independent providers • A business case was produced and agreed recommending that the remaining services should apply for community foundation trust status was agreed. • The Moving Forward project was set up to establish the ALTO and produce the Business Case

  27. Our Journey so far:Our Business case Our Moving Forward Project took the three organisational models shortlisted for further analysis and carried out an option appraisal to assess which model deliver the most non financial benefits and would best support the delivery of our services, meet the key national, regional and local targets and be most acceptable to our stakeholders. Ten benefits criteria were agreed, based on researched criteria for community services. These were weighted and each model was scored against them. The rationale for the scores were discussed and a sensitivity test was carried out. The highest scoring option by a significant amount was the Community Foundation Trust model. The social enterprise model was not acceptable mainly because, as a non statutory organisation, it could not provide social care assessments or case management and as such, integrated health and social care services could not be provided. In addition, the lack of access to the NHS pension was not acceptable to staff and could have limited the organisation’s ability to recruit staff. Separate financial, economic and commercial cases also ranked the CFT model as highest. Due diligence was carried out by KPMG and supported the findings.

  28. Our Journey so far: Separating our provider and commissioning functions – becoming an ALTO The first stage of our journey was achieved on April 1st 2008, when we were established as an Arms Length Trading Organisation (ALTO). While legally remaining part of the PCT, the provider has operated since then as a separate organisation through a Scheme of Delegation and Terms of Engagement, with its own PCS Board and sub committees. • The Moving Forward Project was set up to ensure that arrangements were in place to run the provider services as a separate organisation. This was demonstrated through the completion of the SHA’s ALTO template. Evidence was collected to confirm that all the requirements had been achieved. These included: • ALTO ‘Board’ & management structure • Financial separation. • Separate governance arrangements • Finance and Performance Committee • Business Strategy and Business Plan. • Services reviews: Services Specifications and plans • Performance Dashboard with improved data collection. • Market analysis. • Communications Plan and Strategy. • Identification & separation of PCT and Provider assets. • Separation by transfer or SLAs of internal support teams • Workforce and Organisation Development Plan

  29. PCS has a track record for laying good foundations for future development Our Journey so far: Separating our provider and commissioning functions – from ALTO TO APO Since becoming an ALTO, we have continued to review, improve and develop our services and infrastructure in preparation for becoming and Autonomous Provider Organisation (APO). During 2008, a number of audits and diagnostics were carried out to confirm our ALTO status. All the audits confirmed that we were working well as an ALTO, had set up the appropriate arrangements and were progressing to APO. • We have improved our Business infrastructure with: • The development of a commercial team including a contracts and bidding team and an Information Management team • The implementation of a bespoke IT system to ensure we collect robust activity data from all our services while STPP, the national community system, is being rolled out. • Financial recovery plan resulting in 6% efficiency savings • Tactical cost reduction programme identifying over £400k to improve the 2008/09 financial position. • Performance Accelerator has been implemented to support risk and performance management. • Increased and strengthened our Finance Team • Agreed to increase the establishment of our communications team • We commissioned Deloittes to carry out a detailed market analysis • We have established our Transformation Programme: ‘Building a Sustainable Future’ and through it carried out a number of reviews to inform future service development The audits and diagnostics confirmed that we understand the journey we still need to undertake to become a CFT. We have started on that journey but know we have a long way to go. The audits and diagnostics were carried out by: PriceWaterhouseCoopers for the Audit Commission Ernst & Young audit of Finance & Governance The East of England Health Authority diagnostic We have also carried out self diagnostics using the Department of Health Business Readiness template and have completed 98% of the requirements. We have produced an action plan which brings all the recommendations from the audits and diagnostics together with other business readiness tools and CFT requirements.

  30. ‘’Really understanding our services will enable us to maximise our Patient focus’ Our Journey so far: Separating our provider and commissioning functions PROGRESS TOWARDS APPLYING TO BECOME A COMMUNITY FOUNDATION TRUST • Transforming Community Services – Building a Sustainable Future • Our transformation programme has progressed in a number of stages. We have started by carrying out a number of service reviews, which together with the market analysis, will inform the transformation work that is required to before we can apply to become a CFT. • Ernst & Young have supported the following projects: • A Core Business Review covering all the services provided by PCS. The review included the production of a Directory of Services and identified over 150 service redesign opportunities and areas for cost reduction. • The Time to Care tool was used to analyse the working practices of the nursing profession across PCS and will be used to improve workforce productivity and identify opportunities for improvement and efficiency. For example, the time spent on administration and travel varies widely between teams. We will identify best practice and extend to all teams. • A Priority Based Service Review has been carried out of all Home Care Services, covering Hospital at Home, Intermediate Care and Home Care. Alternative service models have been developed and assessed using quality scores. • Tactical Cost reduction programme identified over £400k to improve the financial position of 2008/2009. • We had commissioned two external reviews on our health visiting and district nursing services. The findings and recommendations have been included in the Priority based service reviews described in our service development plans Directory of Services Access Database Example of Time to Care findings

  31. ‘Our Integrated Business Plan will deliver our vision and our Business and Care Strategies’ OUR INTEGRATED BUSINESS PLAN: Executive Summary Our Integrated Business Plan (IBP) will be our main submission in our application to be a Community Foundation Trust. The IBP in this section of our Transition Plan is the first, high level draft of our IBP. Over the next few months, we will continue to populate the plan in more detail with information we have already collected and further information as it is agreed. We will engage and consult with our staff and other key stakeholders in the production of the plan. We anticipate that over the next two years, our plan will be redrafted many times to reflect our progress towards our long term destination, using all the feedback from our service development plans, business units and updated market analysis. As our IBP evolves, this chapter will provide a high-level overview of PCS, our vision, our performance, the market in which we operate, why we wish to become a CFT and the benefits it will bring to our local community. STRENGTHS WEAKNESSES Excellent Services • Integrated health and social care provision • Strong clinical skill base • Gold Star services • Strong partnerships • Good reputation • Dedicated and committed workforce • Diverse group of services • Disparate IT systems • Poor perceived reputation with some GPs • Poor access to quality management information • Limited commercial experience/expertise • Separate silos and associated behaviour Our vision is to provide competitive, integrated health and social care services Which contribute to individual well-being. Safe effective and efficient Modern sustainable business OPPORTUNITIES THREATS • Repatriate out of area placements • Build on successes i.e. grow dental access centre • Develop service to provide 24 hour support • Develop services to accept self referrals into prevention and enablement care group • Large number of independent and voluntary sector players • Other NHS providers • Difficult recruitment market • Individual budgets • Economic climate Improved Customer Satisfaction

  32. ‘We are a strong, vibrant, viable provider of community services’ OUR INTEGRATED BUSINESS PLAN: Profile Peterborough Community Services is the Arms Length Trading Organisation of NHS Peterborough. We provide integrated community health and adult social care services across Peterborough. We also provide specialist community health services to parts of Cambridgeshire, Lincolnshire and Northamptonshire. Adult social care services are provided through a Section 75 Partnership Agreement between NHS Peterborough and Peterborough City Council. As a provider of integrated services, we are in a unique position to develop and support individualised self directed health and social care. • Our population base is around 250,000 people of which about 163,000 people live in the Peterborough City Council boundary. • We employ around 1400 staff (1036 w.t.e) • We provide approximately fifty different, high quality services. • Services are delivered in a wide range of settings including community clinics and health centres, GP practices, people’s homes, schools and nurseries as well as into the Peterborough and Stamford hospitals. • Our annual turnover is in the region of £82million • A significant number of our services have received national and regional recognition. • We have mapped all our services to produce a service directory including a description of the service, where it is provided and who it is provided by, for use of our commissioners, referrers and ourselves The geographic area currently receiving PCS services

  33. ‘Our vision will inform our Strategic direction’ OUR INTEGRATED BUSINESS PLAN: Strategy During 2008, we agreed our vision, values and strategic priorities. In 2009, we revisited these and validated them when we started to formulate our Care Strategy. The four strategic priorities are underpinned by high level objectives which are delivered by activities agreed each year in our Annual Plan. Our Vision is to provide competitive, high quality, integrated health and social care services which contribute to individual well-being. Our values are that we will respect our services users, protect vulnerable people, value and support our staff, provide excellent, safe and effective services, be innovative and responsive Excellent Services Improved Customer Satisfaction Safe, Effective and Efficient Modern, Sustainable Business • High quality services with Improved outcomes for service users within available resources • Prevention and early intervention as well as treatment • Integrated services planned and delivered around care pathways • Staff empowered to transform services • Service users empowered to self-manage their own care • New and improved customer services developed with the people who use our services • Services delivered in the right place, at the right time • Increased choice • Patient / service user centred care • Access to services clarified and streamlined • Improved communication and information • Integrated care to avoid duplication and improve productivity, efficiency and acceptability • Safeguarding measures to identify and protect the most vulnerable of our society • Use of evidence based practice and professional guidelines • Well prepared for emergencies • Appropriately trained and supported workforce • Development of a competitive, commercial business • Understand our market to provide services that meet local needs and priorities • Deliver year on year CIP savings to ensure our business is sustainable • Work with our commissioners and stakeholders to design and deliver services that meet their needs

  34. ‘Through careful planning and a systematic, supportive approach we will change our culture, develop and empower our staff and restructure our organisation to achieve our vision’ OUR INTEGRATED BUSINESS PLAN: Strategy • Our Vision means services and care that are: • Built from a strong core—getting our care services right • clinically and professionally viable and locally accountable • well governed • delivering high levels of quality and performance • developing as a business • delivered by highly skilled staff • exceeding customer expectations • financially viable Our Business Strategy is to maintain and expand our portfolio of services designed to meet local health and social care needs by guarantee value for money and increasing our market share, through geographic and demographic expansion, diversification and extending our contribution to the pathways of care delivered to our service users. We are in the process of developing our Care Strategy to support business strategy and deliver coordinated, responsive care which is personalised and designed around the needs of our service users.

  35. ‘Only the CFT model will support us fully in our aspiration to be a world class provider of community services OUR INTEGRATED BUSINESS PLAN: Strategy • The Rationale for Community Foundation Status • We believe that the Community Foundation Model is the best organisational form for PCS because as a CFT we would : • Be able to continue to provide integrated adult health and social care services Statutory Social Care assessment and care management functions can only be delegated to a statutory organisation. • Through a governance framework which is robust and demonstrates clear public involvement, be able,, to fully engage with and involve our local community and membership in the development and delivery of services. • Have a solid framework from which to maintain and enhance a balanced portfolio of the highest quality and most cost effective health and social care community services. • Have freedoms to access capital on the basis of affordability instead of the current system of centrally controlled allocations • Have freedom to invest surpluses in developing new services for local people • Have freedom of local flexibility to tailor new governance arrangements to the individual circumstances of their community • Retain the NHS identity and brand, which is trusted by staff and the people who use our services. • Have continued access to the NHS pension for both existing and new staff • Be in a better position to respond to market forces than other organisational forms • In addition, an independent review carried out by the Healthcare Commission has shown that NHS Foundation Trusts are making good progress in developing new innovative approaches to providing better quality healthcare services for the benefit of NHS patients, and improving accountability to their local populations. While there are currently no CFT to review, our experience so far, of preparing to be a CFT, leads us to believe that the freedoms available as a CFT combined with the rigorous requirements of Monitor, will encourage and enable us to become a world class provider of community services.

  36. We are operating in an increasingly competitive market. Understanding our market will help us to ensure that we are the preferred provider of community services OUR INTEGRATED BUSINESS PLAN: Market Assessment • In 2008, we commissioned Deloittes to carry out an independent analysis of the local health care market. The purpose of the analysis was to assist us in understanding our local health economy, increase our knowledge of our competitors and the threats they may pose, to understand our position in the market and our opportunity to increase our current market share and future market growth. We used eight care groups selected to capture the key services areas of PCS and to broadly follow the Transforming Community Services framework. The care groups we used were: • Integrated Health and Social Care; Treatment and Procedures Out of Hospital; Unplanned Care; Children’s Services; Long Term Conditions; Prevention and Enablement; Learning Disabilities and End of Life Care. • The outcome of the analysis has helped us to develop our strategy for service delivery and business development over the next 5 years. It has helped us to identify the main risks to our future and the service development plans we need to put in place to ensure that we are preferred provider of community health and social care services. • Key issues from our market assessment are summarised in this draft of our IBP and will be covered in more detail in the next draft. We intend to repeat the analysis on a regular basis to ensure that our information remains up-to-date and that we adjust our plans accordingly. Our Local Health Economy Our Local Health Economy (LHE) consists of all the organisations who commission or provide health and social care services across East Anglia. This includes organisations which form part of NHS East of England, the local authority, voluntary and private sector. PCS covers Peterborough, parts of Cambridgeshire, Northamptonshire and Lincolnshire. The city of Peterborough is a heavily urban area but the surrounding areas are largely rural with some suburban areas. There are four PCTs which border the PCS area, these are Cambridgeshire PCT, Lincolnshire TPCT, Leicestershire County and Rutland PCT and Northamptonshire TPCT. All these PCTs except Cambridgeshire PCT sit in the East Midlands SHA. Peterborough PCT, Peterborough & Stamford Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust, Cambridgeshire PCT, Cambridgeshire & Peterborough NHS Foundation Trust . can be considered key parts of the Local Health and Social Care Economy.

  37. ‘We have the right portfolio of services but need to review and redesign some of them to be more competitive’ OUR INTEGRATED BUSINESS PLAN Our market opportunity and competitive position is summarised by each care group in the chart below. The analysis suggests that there are opportunities to grow all our services and increase our market share. However, some service groups are are potentially at risk because other providers could be more competitive. • For example, learning disabilities is a small service and the majority of its budget is used for secondary commissioning. There could be strong competition from the neighbouring Mental Health Trust and the voluntary sector organisations in Peterborough. • The market analysis highlighted a number of opportunities for the learning disability service including: • Repatriation of a portion of out of area specialist learning disability placements, • Expansion of current provision of specialist learning disability speech and language therapy and occupational therapy services to neighbouring PCTs • Capture community service provision from neighbouring Mental Health Trusts • Provide specialist primary care services e.g., CAMHS, ADHD, Aspergers, Autism • Provide day services. NHS P and PCS have prioritised learning disability services and are carrying out a priority based service review.

  38. OUR INTEGRATED BUSINESS PLAN: Market Assessment ‘Detailed knowledge of our services will support our service redesign’ A detailed SWOT analysis was carried out on all the service groups. An example of one of the summary report is shown opposite. The findings have been discussed and have informed our care strategy. Plans to address the issues are being taken forward in the service development plans. Key issue from the SWOTs include demographic changes and the drive to move services out of hospital.

  39. OUR INTEGRATED BUSINESS PLAN: Market Analysis A PEST analysis was also carried out and provides a summary of the external environment in which we operate and confirms if future initiatives and service development plans are in line with issues, trends and developments at both the local and national level

  40. OUR INTEGRATED BUSINESS PLAN Service Development Plans Our service development plans are designed to transform our services so that they deliver our vision, strategic priorities and Business and Care Strategies. They are designed to respond to our commissioners requirements identified through Practice Based Commissioning and NHSP’s Strategic Plan. They are also designed to maximise our strengths, reduce our weaknesses and respond to our opportunities and threats. Our transformation programme includes a number of projects which will have a significant impact on our future success. Four of these service development projects are described below. As these are successfully completed and embedded across the organisation, others will be introduced. • Case management and Care Planning • The majority of our resources are currently focused on providing care to a small group of people with complex health and social needs. We need to ensure that our services are designed around their needs and wants. We will achieve this by: • Risk stratification and management: understanding the different groups within our population and how our response and input into these different groups needs to vary. • Case management and care planning: we see case management as the thread that will run through the services we provide. Providing our users with individualised, live care plans will become the tenet of how we deliver services. • Supporting independent living: empowering individuals to take control of their care and conditions through education, support and other mechanisms such as telehealth.

  41. ‘Service Development Plans, using techniques designed to improve effectiveness and efficiency’ OUR INTEGRATED BUSINESS PLAN To redesign our services we are using the Ernst & Young Priority Based Service Review (PBSR) approach. The technique is illustrated below.

  42. Service Development Plans OUR INTEGRATED BUSINESS PLAN Care in the Home We are redesigning our home based service having carried out a PBSR , a Time to Care exercise and market assessment into the model of care we currently provide and the model that our commissioners wish to purchase.

  43. Service Development Plans OUR INTEGRATED BUSINESS PLAN Early intervention Services For Children We are reviewing our current model of care for our universal children’s services (school nursing and health visiting) to redesign a service which will stream line care and remove duplication. Our project will build on the health visiting review and Time to Care information and involve detailed process mapping and significant redesign of service delivery. Priority Based Services Review of Learning Disability Services PCS and NHS Peterborough are reviewing Learning Disability Services using PBSR to ensure more personalised services which deliver more choice and control including individual budgets, while focusing attention on current service provision and future requirements to ensure that our Learning Disability services are professionally and financially viable for patients and services users in the future. Nationally there is pressure within Learning Disability Services for a number of different reasons including a significant increase in the number of people, with learning disabilities, surviving into adulthood with major disabilities and complex needs, adults with learning disabilities are living longer and surviving into older age, limited capacity of family carers to care for the extent and diversity of needs and significant increases in costs of specialised services for people with high dependency, complex needs and challenging behaviours.

  44. OUR INTEGRATED BUSINESS PLAN: Financial Plan - Overview Earnings before Interest, Depreciation, Tax and Amortisation is a measure used to highlight surpluses generated by business actives and is a measure of viability and success. Whilst PCS needs to plan to generate a surplus each year for investment in its services the reality is that whilst we are funded under block contracts the surplus is dependant upon entirely new business from non NHS sources or achieving efficiencies and relies upon Commissioner agreement to retain such savings as opposed to reinvesting in additional services activity at no cost to the Commissioner. In the light of current efficiency savings we have not set a surplus target. The measure, as currently used by MONITOR uses expenditure categories that are not currently relevant to ALTO. The first is Depreciation which presumes a fixed asset base. initial agreement was reached with NHS Peterborough over which assets would transfer to PCS. Following the Transforming Community Services guidance this is to be reviewed before any physical transfer takes place. For most, if not all, of the premises PCS operates in they will be owned by either NHS Peterborough or the City Council with PCS as effective tenants. NHS Peterborough will also own the IT networks and records system that PCS would use. PCS may own some small pieces of equipment . As an ALTO within a PCT, PCS remains bound by various rules and regulations that apply to PCTs. For example we cannot invest surplus funds to generate interest and we are not subject to taxation on "profits/losses". Similarly we do not pay a PDC dividend. As we don't own the assets we can't profit from sales. The result of this is that the EBITDA as defined by MONITOR only really revolves around generating a surplus or a deficit and the model would therefore generate a low score. The SHA has been considering this. EBITDA

  45. Financial Plan: Overview OUR INTEGRATED BUSINESS PLAN In 2009/2010 our main commissioner is funding a level of recurrent and non recurrent costs associated with our move to APO status and discussions are ongoing regarding longer term funding. This plan assumes a need to achieve an additional level of efficiency to order to cover recurrent costs. We have already achieved some efficiency which are funding part of the infrastructure changes. Peterborough City Council and NHS Peterborough are seeking to action a number of savings initiatives, which it has already ‘top sliced from the contract with us’. There is acceptance by the Commissioner that achievement of the savings requires a commonly agreed implementation plan which is currently being developed in conjunction with them. This is over and above the baseline efficiency requirements and represents a significant risk to PCS achieving financial balance in 2009/2010. In partial recognition of this, NHS Peterborough has deferred part of the saving requirement to 2010/2011 if it is not achieved. The plan recognises the current economic climate and that there will be a requirement for more cost effective services and future projection rates reflect this. NHS Peterborough is currently publishing its strategic plan and we will work with them, and other commissioners, to develop responsive services for the future. The projections therefore do not include overall future growth at this time. There are two underlying issues to be resolved in 2009/2010 that are currently shown as an efficiency requirement. Full year effect of 2008/2009 client placements Learning Disability Services where a full service review is underway led by NHS Peterborough Pending final agreement with NHS Peterborough, the plan does not include a PCS share of the PCT's central corporate costs. These are currently estimated at £2.8m and include such things as accommodation costs, and support services. PCS currently receives the vast majority of its income under block contract arrangements. Work to develop currencies, costs and prices will be developed with NHS Peterborough during 2009/2010 and as the performance management infrastructure comes on line.

  46. OUR INTEGRATED BUSINESS PLAN: Financial Plan - Summary

  47. Our Integrated Business Plan: Financial Plan

  48. Our Integrated Business Plan: Financial Plan Service Line Management and Reporting Our services are currently managed in three directorates in professional groups or specialist services. The services are supported by corporate services managed in three specialist directorates. Care delivery is structured around the professional groups rather than our service users which often results in duplication and multiple touch points for service users, particularly those with complex needs. There can be lack of coordination and clarity for service users and for PCS, inefficiency in ways of working. We have agreed that to improve service integration and customer experience, we need to redesign the way our services are structured around care groups and care pathways. The most appropriate model for us appears to be Service Line Management (SLM), supported by Service Line Reporting. SLM is a robust approach that combines trusted management techniques and effective business planning in an NHS setting. By identifying specialist areas and managing them as distinct operational units, it enables NHS Foundation Trusts to understand their performance and organise their services in a way which benefits patients and delivers efficiencies for the Trust. It also provides a structure within which clinicians can take the lead on service development, resulting in better patient care. A project plan has been agreed that will see the development of SLM across PCS over the next year or so. This will help business management and assist in our preparation for Community Foundation Trust status. Children’s Service has been agreed as a Pathfinder to develop SLM. It will be one of a few key Strategic Business Units in PCS and its preparation for SLM will be managed and monitored during 2009 to assist in rolling out SLM to the other business units. This will change the we manage our services by professional service groups to managing them by service pathway / service lines. We will improve our costing, information and management and clinical leadership of these service and as a result, will develop more patient focused efficient and effective services that respond better to our customer needs.

  49. Risks OUR INTEGRATED BUSINESS PLAN In 2008, PCS produced its own Board Assurance Framework (BAF). The BAF reports against the four PCS key priorities and the objectives. We have recently purchased Performance Accelerator as the software tool to support risk management across PCS. This is currently being populated with the BAF risks, the key performance Indicators and national and local targets. It will also be used to monitor the risks associated with the transition and transformation programmes and the Annual and Integrated Business Plans. We have identified five key risks for transition and plans for mitigating these risks. These and other risks are include in the programme’s risk log and will be managed by the Directors responsible for each workstreams area. A detailed risk and mitigation plan is included in our 2009/2010 Annual and Financial Plans.

  50. It is crucial to effectively manage the transition period activities and maintain the continuity of our core business activities. The service business continuity plans will ensure that essential services are maintained whatever the disruption and other services are restored according to their assessed priority OUR INTEGRATED BUSINESS PLAN: Risks • Business Continuity • Business Continuity is a major risk during transition. Business Continuity Management (BCM) is a statutory requirement for both NHS Peterborough and Peterborough Community Services. The Civil Contingencies Act 2004 and the NHS Emergency Planning Guidance 2005 require both organisations to have a Business Continuity Management Policy (BCMP) with robust procedures and plans in place to ensure that, in the event of a significant service interruption, critical day-to-day functions can be maintained. Timely recovery and restoration of key services, systems and processes must also be achieved. • The Business Continuity Management Policy and Procedure for both NHS P and PCS has been drafted and is being circulated for discussion. The organisations’ approach to determining its Business Continuity Management arrangements is to: • Implement appropriate measures to reduce the likelihood and impact from identified risks • Provide continuity for key or critical activities during and following an incident • Review Recovery Time Objective following a period of disruption • Understand the costs of implementing strategy and plans • Understand the costs and consequences of inaction • PCS is updating the business continuity plans for all its services using Shadow planner software. Services are carrying out business impact analyses to identify and prioritise critical services which have to be maintained, the likelihood of disruption to the services and the impact, the point at which the situation becomes critical, the time in which they have to be restored and the basic resources needed to maintain and restore the services. • Business continuity is about safeguarding critical work. If an incident occurs it is important to know which critical work priorities need to be urgently continued, and the likely impact if they are affected the order of priority to restore all services to normality. • The transition programme is not a critical service which needs to be maintained. However, there are risks associated with the transition which could impact on services and in extreme cases, could disrupt services. These risks have been identified in the section on risk and will be included in the risk register and inform business continuity planning.
