National Cost Collection 2019/20 Report Classification: Official Publication approval reference: PAR343 National Cost Collection 2019/20 Report For data relating to financial year 2019/20: commentary on headlines and introduction to the available data for acute, community, ambulance and mental health providers. Contents Foreword ..................................................................................... 2 1. Acute services .......................................................................... 6 2. Community health services....................................................... 8 3. Mental health services ............................................................ 10 4. Ambulance services ............................................................... 11 5. Introduction to the data ........................................................... 12 Annex 1 ..................................................................................... 14 1 | Contents Foreword National Cost Collection 2020 1. Our aim is that costing data should support the delivery of high-quality care for patients and deliver better value for the NHS. 2. As a result of the pandemic and the first year of mandation for ambulance and mental health trusts, the cost collections for 2019/20 were spilt into two separate windows. Table 1: Submission windows for financial year 2019/20 data Sector Timetable Acute and community 7 September 2020 to 13 November 2020 Ambulance, mental health and IAPT 11 to 29 January 2021 3. This document supports the publication of the National Cost Collection 2020 which comprises cost data for financial year 2019/20 (FY1920) for all sectors. 4. The cost data submitted by 208 NHS providers in England gives the most comprehensive insight into how the sector spent £72.6 billion delivering healthcare to patients in 2019/20. 5. The National Cost Collection is a nationally mandated collection of cost data from secondary care and tertiary care providers that are delivering services in the NHS. 6. In 2020, the publication comprises: • Aggregated costs1 – the average unit cost to the NHS of providing defined services to NHS patients in England. 1 Formally known as reference costs. 2 | Acute services • Patient-level costs2 – a unique cost that is based on the specific interactions a patient has and the events related to their healthcare activity. It provides data about how resources3 are used at a patient level. 7. The data underpinning this publication has many uses. It informs: • costing standards development • developments to National Cost Collection, including the impact assessment on mandating the submission of PLICS • development of benchmarking metrics and development and population of a benchmarking tool • modelling new methods of pricing NHS services or changes to currency design • public accountability to Parliament. 8. Therefore, the quality of a provider’s submission is extremely important. 9. It is a provider’s responsibility to improve its internal costing systems, ensuring that the costing model appropriately represents the costs of delivering services. 10. Due to this, providers are obliged to produce cost data under the conditions P1 and P2 of their provider licence (recording and report of costs). 11. National bodies have a responsibility to ensure the costs collected are fit for purpose through the production of comprehensive and clear guidance. Those providers that do not comply or do not meet the required standard of data in any given financial year will be subject to actions under the compliance and enforcement policy for the National Cost Collection ratified in 2019. 12. The following providers are excluded from the FY19/20 costing schedules used by NHS England and NHS Improvement:4 2 Also known as patient-level information costing system (PLICS). 3 For example, drugs, nursing and theatre costs. 4 NHS England and NHS Improvement is the operational name for the joint organisation formed from NHS England, Monitor and the NHS Trust Development Authority on 1 April 2019. 3 | Acute services • RA2 - Royal Surrey County Hospital NHS Foundation Trust: the trust failed to meet the mandatory validation requirement of balancing the total cost of services delivered to their reconciliation statement to within +-1%. • RN7 - Dartford and Gravesham NHS Trust: the trust failed to meet the mandatory validation requirement of balancing the total cost of services delivered to their reconciliation statement to within ±1%. • RWE - University Hospitals of Leicester NHS Trust: the 2019/20 financial statements have been audited and the auditors are unable to provide an unqualified opinion on one or more aspects of the accounts. • RJ2 - Lewisham and Greenwich NHS Trust: failure to reconcile the cost quantum to within ±1% of the 2019/20 published provider accounts. • RGN - North West Anglia NHS Foundation Trust: failure to reconcile the cost quantum to within ±1% of the 2019/20 published provider accounts. • RBN - St Helens and Knowsley Teaching Hospitals NHS Trust: failure to reconcile the cost quantum to within ±1% of the 2019/20 published provider accounts. • RC9 - Luton And Dunstable University Hospital NHS Foundation Trust: failure to reconcile the cost quantum to within ±1% of the 2019/20 published provider accounts. • REN - The Clatterbridge Cancer Centre NHS Foundation Trust: failure to reconcile the cost quantum to within ±1% of the 2019/20 published provider accounts. • RYV - Cambridgeshire Community Services NHS Trust: failure to reconcile the cost quantum to within ±1% of the 2019/20 published provider accounts. • RY2 - Bridgewater Community Healthcare NHS Foundation Trust: failure to reconcile the cost quantum to within ±1% of the 2019/20 published provider accounts. 4 | Acute services • R1L – Essex Partnership University NHS Foundation Trust: failure to reconcile the cost quantum to within ±1% of the 2019/20 published provider accounts. • RRP – Barnet, Enfield, and Haringey Mental Health NHS Trust: failure to reconcile the cost quantum to within ±1% of the 2019/20 published provider accounts. • RX2 - Sussex Partnership NHS Foundation Trust: failure to reconcile the cost quantum to within ±1% of the 2019/20 published provider accounts. • RY9 - Hounslow and Richmond Community Healthcare NHS Trust: failure to reconcile the cost quantum to within ±1% of the 2019/20 published provider accounts. • RNK - Tavistock and Portman NHS Foundation Trust: failure to reconcile the cost quantum to within ±1% of the 2019/20 published provider accounts. 13. The excluded providers’ raw data will be published separately in a flat file alongside the national costing schedules. Costing Transformation Programme (CTP) 14. 2020 marked a significant step forward in delivering a single National Cost Collection that is submitted entirely from PLICS datasets. 15. The cost schedule for acute providers has been solely built from patient-level costs for admitted patient care (APC), outpatients (OP) and accident and emergency (AE) following the mandation of these services for acute providers. 16. In addition, 133 acute trusts submitted supplementary information (SI) and 69 acute trusts submitted adult critical care (SWC) at patient-level as part of the transition from the National Cost Collection workbook. 5 | Acute services 1. Acute services 17. The value of acute services in FY19/20, including APC, OP, AE, SWC and SI (see paragraphs 15 and 16), totalled £56.8bn. 18. Total costs for all acute services are shown in Table 25.

  • Oversight of NHS-Controlled Providers: Guidance February 2018
    Oversight of NHS-controlled providers: guidance February 2018 We support providers to give patients safe, high quality, compassionate care within local health systems that are financially sustainable. Contents 1. Summary ................................................................................... 2 2. Our oversight of NHS-controlled providers ................................ 3 Annex A: NHS-controlled provider licence conditions .................... 7 1 | > Contents 1. Summary The NHS provider licence is a key part of NHS Improvement’s regulatory and oversight system (in this document, references to NHS Improvement are to Monitor and the NHS Trust Development Authority, TDA). Following the Health and Social Care Act 2012 (the Act), Monitor consulted on the first set of provider licence conditions for NHS foundation trusts and independent providers in 2013 and started issuing licences to foundation trusts in April 2013. Independent providers have been required to hold a licence since April 2014. Although NHS trusts are not legally required to hold a licence, in practice NHS Improvement applies the key conditions of the licence to NHS trusts, in line with the principles of the Single Oversight Framework (SOF) for NHS trusts and foundation trusts (collectively referred to as NHS providers). Following consultation between 13 September and 12 October 2017, we are extending our oversight of NHS-controlled providers, as outlined in section 2. 2 | > Oversight of NHS-controlled providers: our policy position 2. Our oversight of NHS- controlled providers 2.1 Why oversee NHS-controlled providers? NHS foundation trusts’ principal purpose is to provide goods and services for the purposes of the NHS in England. They are not-for-profit, public benefit corporations created to devolve decision-making from central government to local organisations and communities.

  • Letter from Simon Stevens to Matt Hancock on 18 November 2019
    Skipton House 80 London Road To: The Rt Hon. Matt Hancock M.P. London SE1 6LH Secretary of State for Health and Social Care By email 18 November 2019 Dear Secretary of State, As you know, there is sustained concern across the NHS about the operational impact of pensions tax penalties on the availability of clinical staff. Staffing constraints and the nature of clinical contracts mean the NHS is arguably much more exposed to these impacts than other public services. While the various in-year flexibilities already announced are helpful, they are clearly not sufficient to prevent large numbers of senior clinicians reducing their sessional commitments, including in A&E departments, general practice and undertaking waiting list operations. The Academy of Medical Royal Colleges provided further evidence of this in their letter to you and the Chancellor dated 4 November 2019, which I attach. Given the deferral of the Budget and the calling of an election, it is now clear that a substantive answer to the tapered annual allowance issue is unlikely to be forthcoming until the new tax year, from April 2020. In the meantime there is an urgent operational requirement to remediate further the situation, so as to try and remove barriers to needed clinical staffing over the winter period. To that end, as you know, we have been working with your officials and HMT on an in-year mitigation. This will involve a commitment to make payments to certain clinical staff outside of the NHS pension schemes to restore the value of their pension benefits package, if they have elected to use the “Scheme Pays” facility to settle an annual allowance tax charge arising from of their pension saving in the NHS schemes in 2019/20.

  • Novel Coronavirus (COVID-19): Derby and Derbyshire Stakeholder Bulletin #32
    View this email in your browser 6 November 2020 Novel Coronavirus (COVID-19): Derby and Derbyshire stakeholder bulletin #32 Dear partners Any doubt as to the seriousness of the situation we now find ourselves in was firmly put to bed on Saturday when the Prime Minister announced plans for a planned four-week lockdown in England from Thursday (5 November) at a Downing Street news conference on Saturday. On Wednesday, MPs overwhelmingly voted to proceed with the second lockdown (516 votes to 38) that is due to end on Wednesday 2 December. NHS Chief Executive, Sir Simon Stevens, also confirmed at a press conference on Wednesday that the NHS in England will be returning to its highest state of alert from midnight on Wednesday to coincide with the start of the second lockdown. The switch to level 4 means the NHS’s response to the resurgence of the pandemic is being handled nationally rather than regionally. The number of people seriously ill with coronavirus who are being treated in hospitals in England has risen from 2,000 at the end of September to almost 11,000. In Derbyshire there were over 200 patients with coronavirus in our hospitals at the end of last week and we are above that now. We’re seeing significant use of Intensive Care Unit beds in Chesterfield which means they can do less of their planned care operating. General practice remains incredibly busy and we are seeing an increase in: NHS 111 use Community nursing and community beds The total number of staff absences related to COVID Our projections tell us that we are approaching April levels for admissions, though lockdown will stem this.
