IG Toolkit – Update for LCIOC/ADASS

1. Local Public Services CIO Council IG Toolkit – Update for LCIOC/ADASS Dylan Roberts / Terry Dafter

2. IGToolkit Project update – Session objectives • “What and Who” - What is happening and who is involved • “Why” - Explain the wider context and overlap … • “How” – Overview of the approach we are taking and latest progress • “When” and “Where Next”

3. IGToolkit - Project Overview • Create the right environment to converge and coalesce IG/IA of both Health and Local Government. • Deliver this convergence in a sensible and pragmatic way • Deliver in phases. Phase one is focused on the “here and now”. • NHS IG Statement of Compliance • IG Toolkit (Social Care delivery). • Deliver a technical (infrastructure) solution for Health organisations as well as local authorities to use the Public Service Network (PSN). • Future phases are planned across government • The project has national support and from a wide range of stakeholders

4. IGToolkit - Stakeholders • The Association of Directors of Adult Social Services (ADASS) • The Cabinet Office • Department of Health • NHS England • Health and Social Care Information Centre (HSCIC) • Local Chief Information Officers Council (LCIOC) • Actively supported with help and contributions from • The PSN Programme, • a wide range of local authorities groupings including the Association of Greater Manchester Authorities • The West Midlands IG Forum, Yorkshire and Humber equivalent • A watching brief from the ICO.

5. A variety of drivers and other imperatives • Legislation and pending legislation (Health and Social Care Act 2012, The Care Bill) • Caldicott 2 Recommendations • Pioneer Projects (x14): Support for development of key building blocks for Integrated Health and Social Care programmes • Child Protection (Information Sharing project) • To support a raft of other local initiatives as well as national strategies requiring this approach…. • Need for a better way to support interoperability and service integration (people, place and process levels) • Combined challenges we face (austerity situation, rising demand for services, ageing population)

6. “How” - Progress summary • Rewrite of the IGT Social Care Delivery view • A single corporate view rather than Adult Social Care service or Public Health perspective • Removes some of the confusion. • (some LA’s have completed the Hosted Secondary Use Team Project view previously but only for Public Health). • Subject to final sign-off but:- • instead of LA’s being subject to completing 40 requirements the number has been reduced significantly and equivalence accepted (see separate slide deck) . • Fundamental Message - Give and Take approach by all parties

7. District Councils • Some District Councils are now engaging with Health • Fitness Services to GPs • Co-location and premises sharing • Recognise Differences • No Caldicott Guardian • Already have PSN IA Certificate • Encouraged to look at the IG Toolkit • Simplifies requirements but… • Further work is ongoing to provide better fit.

8. When and Where next • New local authority view (version 12) available mid to late June 2014 • Detailed guidance now being created • Commitment to making this an iterative and on-going process. • Open Door approach -Trust Embedded • Willingness to tackle the harder considerations moving forward • Technical project launched utilising Y+H PSN to provide an infrastructure solution • Business case created (alternative approach to N3 replacement) • Lobbying on-going to establish the funding stream • We cannot wait 3 years for a technical solution and final IG position

9. The Advantages • Functional Improvements • Simpler to Use – One compliance not many • Reflects corporate rather than departmental responsibility • Strategic Advantages • Combination with PSN IA allows Local Authority to meet NHS IA/IG requirements now. • Allows use of PSN infrastructure rather than N3 • Prepares org for future changes in assurance • Allows for rapid developments in integration and colocation etc. • Allows for sharing of expertise, experience and resource • Tactical Advantages • Supports rapid adoption • Streamlines current internal processes • Avoids risks and costs of developing tactical solutions File classification: NOT PROTECTIVELY MARKED

10. The Disadvantages of not adopting this approach • Jeopardises the advantages given • Increases costs and effort of compliance • May lead to use of N3 solutions which will be retired in 2-3 years • Reduced view may prevent true integration and joint working File classification: NOT PROTECTIVELY MARKED

11. Where Next • A proposed single IG framework for government • beginning with local authority and the Health sector • based on legal basis for information exchange • Defined “top-ups” rather than compliance with a whole regime forced by one sector upon another. • Phase one • Identifying and working through the complex dependencies and timing issues • NHS Number Programme

12. A Single Assurance Framework

13. The Proposals • HSCIC Working Group • Create a Project Team • Create Terms of Reference • Create a pro forma of new model • Baseline Requirements • Health and Local Authority Top Ups • Agree process for amendment (v1.1, 1.2 etc.) • By September 2014 • Develop V1.0 of a converged compliance by September 2014 • Agree communications plan • Agree implementation arrangements for 04/15
