Action sheet from the meeting held on 19 September 2017 All actions were noted as complete. 17/159 Matters arising There were no matters arising. 17/160 Mid Yorkshire Hospitals NHS Trust (MYHT) Care Quality Commission (CQC) Inspection Report – Presentation David Melia attended the meeting to give a presentation on the recent MYHT CQC Inspection Report which gave an overall rating of “requires improvement”. The presentation detailed the overall ratings and change from the previous CQC inspection in 2015. Together with details of required actions in relation to nurse staffing; escalation of deteriorating patients; falls; 2 nutrition; extra capacity beds; patient moves at night and assessment of patient mental capacity in relation to the Mental Capacity Act and Deprivation of Liberty. David Melia commented that the Trust received positive verbal feedback from the CQC following the recent inspection noting there had been considerable improvements within Community Services and the End of Life pathway was rated as good. David also reported that there are currently no additional beds open at the Trust. Improved documentation on wards is now in place, particularly in relation to recording the correct information for chronic conditions. Further development of ward managers is ongoing. David Melia reported that Falls incidents have decreased and volunteers on wards to help with mealtimes have also proved successful. Nurse recruitment is improving and work is ongoing to ensure staff remain with the Trust and appropriate career progression is improved alongside providing opportunities for staff to move around specialities and gain experience in other areas of the hospital. It was noted that previously employed nurses are choosing to return to work at the Trust. Huddersfield University student nurses are now receiving an improved learning experience at the Trust and a Mid Yorkshire School of Nursing is to be developed next year. A discussion followed. Diane Hampshire queried what were the key factors of the community services improvement? David Melia responded that it was the leadership and the targeted actions put in place. Mr Hany Lotfallah queried the results of the Maternity and Gynaecology service in the inspection. David Melia confirmed that he would provide further detail following the meeting. It was acknowledged that Clinical leaders need to set the standards in key areas such as good basic nursing care, reduced falls incidents and appropriate dietary requirements for patients. It was noted that a Quality Summit is to be held at the end of November 2017. It was agreed that Pat Keane would update Jo Pollard of this discussion to ensure quality matrix working and suggest a further update is presented to the Governing Body following the scheduled Quality Summit. Jo Webster thanked David Melia for the presentation and the improvements already made with all partners in the system working together. It was RESOLVED that: (i) members noted the content of the presentation 17/161 Strategic development of urgent and emergency care services for the Wakefield district 3 Dr Adam Sheppard gave a presentation regarding the strategic development of urgent and emergency care services for the Wakefield district. Adam explained that earlier this year the CCG were told there would be new national guidance on urgent treatment centres. This gave the CCG an opportunity to make it clear how urgent care services fit together so people across the district can get the safest care when they have an unexpected or emergency health need. Advice was sought from the Yorkshire and Humber Clinical Senate regarding the new national guidance and through feedback received from public engagement it was clear local people, MPs and councillors who represent them that people wanted 24/7 urgent care at Pontefract. The national definition for conditions that can be treated in an Urgent Treatment Centre matches the service already provided at Pontefract. Adam explained some of the reasons for change including Pontefract being unable to treat patients with very serious or life threatening illness or injuries. Ambulances already take people who are very seriously ill to other hospitals. During the day there are specialist doctors on duty at Pontefract but most of the people who go there do not need this level of care and their specialist skills could be better used at Pinderfields where people who are more seriously ill already go. The Business Case sets out the case for change for urgent and out of hours care for the Wakefield district. Appropriate engagement with the local population needs to take place to explain what each part of the urgent care system offers so people can make the best choice about where to go in an emergency.
