4 Caroline wished to note that Elizabeth Hall, Service User Governor, has attended every Board of Directors meeting as the Council of Governors representative for the last three years since joining the Council. Caroline added that Elizabeth is not

present today due to ill health of her husband, adding that of behalf of the Board we wish them both the best. 5 There were no additional declarations of interest.

TBP44 .3/15 Minutes and Action Points from 30 September 2015

6 Minutes of the Board of Directors held on 30 September 2015 were approved as an accurate record.

7 Peter Lee advised that all Action Points are either complete or are on today’s agenda.

TBP44 .4/15 Questions from members of the public

8 There were no questions from members of the public.

TBP45 .1/15 Eliminating Mixed Sex Accommodation/Maintaining Safety Privacy and Dignity

9 Caroline Armitage introduced this item, noting its importance. 10 Tim Ojo advised that the NHS Framework asks Foundation Trusts to commit to eliminating mixed sex accommodation and to have a same sex accommodation action plan in place, with an impact analysis document. Included in the documents available today, is an overview setting out the commitment for us to eliminate same sex accommodation.

11 Tim Masters queried why, if these regulations have been around for some time, has it taken so long for us to start this work. Tim Ojo advised that we’re not the only Trust in this situation, as the policy and guidance have evolved. We have always

taken into account the dignity of our patients and because we do not have entirely separated wards, it doesn’t mean we don’t take this in to account on our wards. Sue Morris advised that the main issues are around Dementia wards and we need support and to engage with our commissioners. 12 Colm Donaghy advised that this issue was picked up during our CQC Wave Inspection. Colm added that he’s recently spoken with our lead inspector from CQC, who asked to be informed if we will not meet the deadline for any action, especially

those that aren’t completely within our gift to resolve, alone. 13 Richard Bayley advised that he is a bit disappointed with the paper as at the previous Board meeting he asked for the capital expenditure to be included as an

appendix, so when making this policy decision we can clearly see the financial implication, risks and whether it is deliverable. Tim Ojo apologised for this omission and advised that it’s not about the cost of mitigating single sex accommodation. The policy states ‘where possible’ we should eliminate mixed sex accommodation, and if this is not possible, we need a rational as to why. Richard Bayley reinforced his

concern about the risks in relation to resource and sustainability and suggested a need to RAG-rate the mitigation of risk. 14 Caroline Armitage summarised Richard’s comments, stating the point he is trying to make is that the policy needs to be more clearly articulated, however there is a general acceptance that the clinical detail is correct. Caroline added that an additional piece of work is required around the implementation of the policy, although does not stop the Board approving the policy, in principle.

Page 2 of 8

Decision – the Board approved the policy in principle.

15 Action: Implementation plan of Eliminating Mixed Sex Accommodation Policy to be added to January 2016 Board Agenda, as part of CDS planning.

16 Lorraine Reid advised that she supports Board approval of this policy, and would like to revisit the narrative of the RAG rating. Caroline Armitage advised that the Quality

Committee should review the RAG rating and narrative of the policy and bring an update to the Board in due course. 17 Action: Quality Committee to review the RAG rating and narrative of the policy and update the Board.

TBP46 .1/15 Chief Executives Report

18 Colm Donaghy introduced his report, advising that it is a short update this month. Colm noted updates in the report including the development of our Care Delivery

Services (CDSs) and a CQC update, adding that the CQC will be back next year to re-inspect our services. 19 Colm advised in relation to Monitor’s KPIs for 7 Day Follow-up that we met the target for this month, and we are implementing a 3 Day Follow-up procedure to ensure no more targets are missed, and patients are not waiting more than a week for a follow up after discharge. Colm added that these follow-ups are vital as they have been linked to the reduction of suicides following discharge. 20 Caroline Armitage wished to note the Adult Services Update, as Neil Waterhouse, East Sussex Service Director, who is here with us today, has been nominated for a East Sussex Divisional Award for his efforts and achievements above

and beyond the call of duty.

21 Diana Marsland wished to ask Colm a question which is not in relation to his report today; following the breach of information Talk Talk has recently encountered, what policies or actions do we have in place to avoid this? Sue Morris advised that our Public website has no back system, so no private information is held in any way on the website. Our information is stored on a very secure system, which is approved by Health and Social Care Information Centre; it is one of the highest secured specifications in the world. Sue added that we have our own IT Security Manager who has recently started work on Cyber Awareness. Diana Marsland was content with this answer.

TPB46 .2/15 Patient Story

(video played) 22 Caroline Armitage started off comments by stating her interest of the service user in the video stating that ‘service user’ was more stigmatising than ‘patient’. Tim Ojo added on this shows how easily complaints can be generated by using the wrong

term, and we should agree with individuals what they would like to be called. 23 Caroline Armitage welcomed members of the public in attendance to comment; Scott Hunt, Public Governor for Sussex Partnership, advised that he thought the video was very positive, and noted that the argument over ‘patient’ or ‘service user’

will continue to go on. Another member of the public wished to note the importance of psychological therapies and the great impact it can make to some people. 24 Colm Donaghy was pleased of the perseverance of the individual to continue with her psychological therapy, even though for 2 months she felt that it did not make a difference to her.

25 Caroline Armitage advised that she would be grateful for any ideas from members of Page 3 of 8

the public in ways we can promote the patient voice at Board meetings.

TBP46 .3/15 To receive the Annual Patient Experience Report

26 Tim Ojo introduced this report noting that he would present and take questions on behalf of Vincent Badu, adding that Vincent had asked him to note as a key highlight, that we have done much better than before with Crisis Care.

27 Tim advised that our problems with comparisons between years occur when survey questions change, however we need to increase our scores across the board. Tim added that it’s important to show what we’re doing with the feedback as much as it is

to show why we ask for this feedback.

28 Diana Marsland advised that the report is very useful, however was unsure of the portion of our service users and carers contribute to our survey and feedback, and whether this relates to our 2020 Vision. 29 Lorraine Reid advised that she was a little disappointed with the way the improvement work has been listed. Lorraine added that she’s interested in identifying the highest impact changes that can be put in place, however some areas

had longer lists than others and she was unsure of whether the report really highlights all the work that’s on-going. Lorraine queried whether it would be helpful to establish a reference group of service users for each CDS to review themes of complaints. 30 Tim Masters agreed with Lorraine and finds it difficult to relate this report to the 28% increase in complaints. He feels that the board needs sight on the top few risks identified rather than the general detail provided, to help the board take note of

things that will really make a difference to patient care. 31 Caroline Armitage advised that the message she’s hearing from the Board is that this report includes lots of useful information, but nothing that helps us deliver better care.

32 Colm Donaghy advised that this information includes improvements; however, it would be helpful to see what we’re going to do differently in future.

33 Tim Ojo acknowledged the points made and a need to match what we’ve found and what we’re going to do.

34 Colm Donaghy stated that we need to feature patient experience in our performance reports to measure what we’ve done to ensure we’re engaging with our patients and carers. 35 Sue Morris highlighted that in the Q2 Friends and Family Test, our staff members are less likely to recommend our Trust than our patients are, which is an interesting correlation. 36 Caroline Armitage wished to acknowledge the overall good work being done to engage with patients and carers.

37 Action: Quality Committee to consider this feedback and to review Patient Experience and update the Board accordingly.

TBP46 .4/15 To receive an update on CQC Action Plans

38 Caroline Armitage asked about some of the detail missing from this paper. Lorraine Reid advised that there is much detail that sit behind this and would circulate the full report.

39 Action: Lorraine Reid to circulate the full CQC Action Plan report.

Page 4 of 8

40 Richard Bayley advised that there appear to be four or five areas that have slipped, looking at appendix 1, and it would be helpful to know what actions there are to

ensure these are delivered. 41 Simone Button advised in relation to the ligature risks at Chalkhill, this work will be completed by November, and she was confident that the rest will be delivered.

42 Caroline Armitage advised that these action plans were agreed in June and have been monitored at an operational level since, however the Board Assurance

Framework is not as rigorous as we would like it to be. Gordon Ferns agreed that the Board Assurance Framework needs to be more rigorous. 43 Colm Donaghy advised that if any actions are slipping, we’ve agreed to share this with the CQC to be open and honest. Colm added that it may be useful to share with

the Board the same areas as the CQC and our plans around the actions. 44 Lorraine Reid advised that training is a significant risk and that’s not clearly identified here.

TBP46 .5/15 To receive the Quality & Performance Report

45 Sally Flint advised that this is the last report in this format. The heat map will also be going into the public domain soon, which shows the RAG ratings across our services.

46 Sally noted the following highlights;

Areas of concern

 Pleased to report that bed pressures have been managed really well with a clinical approach. There has been a fantastic improvement made with ECR’s with only two since the beginning of August. The clinical approach is being moved to delayed transfer of care, where at the moment we have 40 delayed patients. We aim to have no more than 25-30 at one time.

 Temporary staffing is still a large concern and has gained a high interest from Monitor.

Emerging concerns  Sickness rate

 Serious Incidences (SI) – the SI review group are looking at any themes, hotspots and trends throughout the organisation. 47 Gordon Ferns noted that every meeting the vacancy rate and impact on costs of staff are particularly high for some wards, and there seems to be little improvement. Caroline Armitage advised that there are strategic issues around this, not

operational issues, however we need a policy and plan in place to address this. 48 Sue Morris advised that there is a big piece of work Sue Esser is leading on with services to implement new roles which will be piloted in Langley Green Hospital soon. We’re also putting funding in place to support staff and their training. Sue

added that in the last month our turnover has been high, with 77 new starters and approximately 48 staff leaving. 49 Caroline Armitage queried whether it would be helpful to arrange an interview for new starters after 6 months, as most staff tend to leave in the first year. Diana Marsland advised that a large amount of staff that have left, have said they do not feel valued by the trust.

50 Sue Esser advised that there’s much work underway to make progress with this, and reminded members about the paper the board received recently on the workforce

strategy. Sue agreed to prepare an update on this for the Board in January, covering Page 5 of 8

the seven work streams we’re working on with the CDSs.

51 Action: Paper to Board in January updating on the workforce strategy. 52 On a different note, Diana Marsland queried whether themes can be included in the Complaints section of this report. Peter Lee confirmed that this has already been worked on and will be included in next month’s report.

TBP46 .5/15 To receive an update on Safe Staffing

53 Sue Morris provided an update on Helen Greatorex’s behalf, highlighting that looking at fill rates, issues seem to be particularly during the night shifts. Dementia wards are struggling with recruitment.

TBP46 .5/15 To receive the performance against Business Objectives

54 Sally Flint outlined the progress to date on Business Objectives, advising that some need to be reflected in the Board Assurance Framework. The Board asked that the gaps in assurance need to be included in the BAF (coming to Board in November).

55 Action: Gaps in Assurance for business objectives to be reflected in the BAF 56 A discussion was held around Objective 4.2 relating to staff appraisals, which is currently rated red. Sue Morris advised that the next stage of MyLearning is now available online, which makes it much easier for staff to upload their appraisals.

TBP46 .5/15 To receive an update on Sign up to Safety

57 Gordon Ferns queried why mandatory training is receiving such a poor uptake. Diana Marsland advised that we’ve brought in additional trainers to help, however

staff find it difficult to uptake full day training as everyone’s working extremely hard to cover shortages of staff. Sue Morris reiterated that mandatory training is extremely important and is very respectful to our patients.

58 Colm Donaghy advised that although Kay Macdonald is in charge of reviewing training and its implementation, it’s not up to Kay to ensure training is complete. Colm added that we should reiterate this to service leads to the line of accountability is clear. Colm stated that we can provide e-training to improve accessibility.

59 Tim Masters noted that there are two compliance actions from the CQC regarding mandatory training, which need to be completed by November.

TBP46 .6/15 To receive a report on the last meeting of the Finance and Investment Committee

60 Richard Bayley discussed the highlights in the report, including areas of scrutiny and the progress in Adult Services, Community Services and Corporate Services. Richard reiterated to the Board that these challenges are within our control and we

need pace and traction. At the November Finance and Investment Committee, Corporate Services will be looked at in great detail. 61 Colm Donaghy advised that Corporate Services savings are within our control; however we have not been holding all vacancies and this will be subject to greater scrutiny. 62 Sally Flint ran through the best case, mid case and worst case that will be submitted to Monitor.

Page 6 of 8

TBP46 .6/15 Financial Performance (Quality & Performance Report)

63 No further questions.

TBP46 .7/15 To receive the People Report

64 Diana Marsland advised that good progress has been made with agency staffing and it have decreased in three areas. A new dashboard has been created for the People Committee, which includes staff retention, turnover rate and sickness which

is divided by each Care Delivery Service (CDS). th 65 Sue Morris advised that the NHS Staff Survey is taking place now and as of 26 October 2015 our response rate was 24.5%; our goal is over 50%. We’re working hard to ensure staff understand that their feedback will help to make a difference.

66 Sue Morris added that in relation to Non-Framework agencies, we’re now compliant with 70% of framework agencies and we have submitted exception requests to Monitor for 6 agencies, due to delivery, and we’re waiting on the decision. There have been some framework agencies that are charging more and we are tracking this carefully.

TBP47 .1/15 To agree the Q2 in-year Governance Statement to Monitor / Update on changes to Monitor’s Risk Assessment Framework

67 Peter Lee advised that in previous years we’ve always been confident of a Monitor (finance) rating of 3. This year, Monitor has changed their rating criteria and as a consequence we are at greater risk of not achieving at least a 3. Peter advised that

we will achieve a rating of 3 with our current forecast, and so recommends that the Board confirms this statement. 68 Peter Lee advised that we’re not able to confirm Monitor’s compliance targets due to missing the delayed transfer of care target last quarter and not having confidence for Q3. The return should therefore reflect this and, as set out in the quality and

performance report, explain the steps we are taking to improve DToC. 69 The Board of Directors approved the statement to Monitor, as recommended.

TBP47 .2/15 To receive the quarterly notification of Sealed Documents

70 Peter Lee advised that the report is for information. 71 Sue Morris advised that in relation to the lease for Pepperville House, this is something we’ve been working on for quite some time in order to make necessary environmental improvements there. Sue added that this is a really good achievement made.

TBP47 .3/15 Board Members Action Points following the Council of Governors meeting held on 19 October 2015

72 Caroline Armitage advised that there are four actions on the log which have no updates, and asked Peter Lee to liaise with those appropriate, however noted that

the meeting was only last week. 73 Sally Flint advised that an interesting discussion took place at the meeting regarding our Internal Auditors testing the activity of Occupational Therapies on wards. Sally added that following discussions with our Internal Auditors, they believe this could be a really interesting piece of work and have gone away to come back next week with ideas for this work.

74 Tim Masters advised that we do need to determine something that is actually measurable.

TBP48 /15 Any Other Business

75 Caroline Armitage closed the meeting at 15:35.

Page 1 of 1 Board of Directors: 25 November 2015 – Public Agenda Item:TBP50.1/15 Attachment: B For information and discussion By: Colm Donaghy, Chief Executive CHIEF EXECUTIVE REPORT 1. Introduction In this month’s report I will highlight a number of areas including:  Delayed Transfers of Care ( DTOCs )  Statutory/Mandatory training  Data Quality and  Social Care  Specialist Services 2. Context Delayed Transfers of Care I am pleased to report that DOTCs are on a downward trend. In October the Trust reported 7.7% against a target of 7.5% and in November so far we are at 6.9%. If this trend continues the Trust should meet the Monitor KPI at the end of this quarter. This reduction has been the result of sustained effort in operational services.

Statutory/Mandatory Training At our last Board meeting we agreed that delivering our 75% compliance rate should be the responsibility of operational services as well as the Trust’s Education and Learning Department. The Executive Team have therefore commissioned plans from each of the Care Delivery Services (CDS) and Corporate Support Services as to how they propose to improve compliance rates to meet the Trust’s 2015/16 target of 75%. Education and Learning will remain responsible for identifying and providing the tools and capacity to enable staff to complete the necessary training. The plans will be shared with the Trust Board at our next meeting in January 2016.

Data Quality Trust commissioners and Monitor have signalled that they will be measuring Trust performance in future through the Mental Health Data Sets on our electronic information systems. Increasingly commissioners are requesting data sets as opposed to information reports, which raises concerns given existing Trust data quality levels. Currently the Trust supplements electronic information with manual validation and update. With the roll out of Care Notes, the Trust’s new electronic patient information system, and the increasing need to have reliable electronic data the Executive Team have commissioned a plan from the Finance and Performance Directorate to meet the required data quality improvements. The plan will be considered by the Service Delivery Board in January 2016.

Social Care Trust Board members will be aware that there has been much national debate about reductions in Local Authority funding the subsequent potential reduction in funding for social care services and its potential impact on the delivery of health services. The Trust will be responding to Local Authority consultation highlighting our concerns where we believe reductions in social care funding will adversely impact service delivery.

Specialist Services Update Neither Hampshire nor Kent and Medway CAMHs are achieving their waiting time target for Page 1 of 2

assessment and treatment. As the Board is aware this is as a result of significant continuing high demand and an on-going lack of capacity to address in both services.

In Hampshire ahead of commencing the new 5 year contract in April 2016 when the service will be implementing a new service model, additional non recurring resource has been made available by commissioners to clear the existing waiting list and reduce waits to 4 weeks for assessment and 18 weeks for treatment by end March 2016. The detailed plan to reduce the waiting lists, which has been agreed with commissioners is to use a combination of new staff (assistant psychologists on 6 month contracts); support from No Limits, a third sector provider concentrating on the Tier 2 work; existing staff working extended hours, and agency staff where required.

In Kent and Medway, the service is working closely with commissioners and have been able to provide assurance that the Trust is utilising all resources to best effect towards achieving the specified waiting times. With the existing funding and continuing high demand, although progress is being made, it is proving challenging to improve that position in all areas. Some additional resource has been promised from one CCG but this is not expected to be released until January 2016.

Crawley Road, our secure rehab unit which has previously been part of the Recovery and Rehabilitation Partnership, a joint venture company we previously ran with Care UK until earlier this year, will come into the Trust formally from 1st December and become part of the Secure and Forensic Service (S&F). We welcome all of those staff who are joining us.

Our Secure and Forensic Service have canvassed staff about renaming their CDS to reflect the breadth of services they provide which include, Secure, Prison Healthcare and Police Court Liaison and Diversion Teams. The name they have chosen is Secure Healthcare and from 1st January 2016 this will be the name their CDS will be known as. 3. Recommendations Board members are invited to note the contents of this report, comment and ask questions.

Sussex Partnership NHS Foundation Trust Board of Directors: 25 November 2015 - Public Agenda Item: TBP50.3/15 Attachment: C For: Information By: Gordon Ferns Non-Executive Director

QUALITY COMMITTEE SUMMARY REPORT

1.0 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

The Committee met on Thursday 19 November 2015. Non-Executive Director Gordon Ferns chaired the meeting. Minutes of the meeting will shortly be available to all board members on board pad. The meeting’s agenda is attached to this summary for ease of reference.

2.0 Items for the Board to note:

 Care Quality Commission Action Plan Update Clinical Directors updated the committee on progress on closing the remaining actions. It was noted that the two Performance Contract (all day) meetings in the previous week had considered in detail, progress in relation to the action plans all of which had been shared with local teams. CDSs were clear about the priorities, and of the importance of preparing for re- inspection. A checklist to support preparation had been developed and shared, prompting the user to consider key items including statutory and mandatory training, medicines management, hygiene and cleanliness and ensuring that patients’ views are reflected in care plans. The overarching Trust action plan had been populated in partnership with the Care Delivery Services (CDSs) and the content approved by the Managing Directors and Executive Director of Nursing and Quality. The committee noted that it was to be presented to the public part of the next board meeting.

 Learning From Serious Incidents (SIs) The Trust had held its first annual Learning From SIs event since the last committee meeting, with over two hundred staff drawn from across the Trust in attendance. Work to revise and improve the SI investigation policy and process is nearing completion led by the Executive Medical Director. The time taken to close final reports had improved but the committee was advised that there is still work to do to ensure that every report is completed, closed and shared with Clinical Commissioning Groups on time. Clinical Directors undertook to ensure that systems in their CDS support this aim and the chair tasked them with improving performance and reporting back in February.

 Mitigating Risks to Quality – Cost Improvement Plans The committee agreed that for the forthcoming financial year, each CDS will explicitly capture in its Cost Improvement Plan proposals, any potential risk to quality and the proposed mitigation. These will be shared with the Quality Committee.

 Changes to the Committee The committee chair, Executive Director of Nursing and Quality and Executive Medical Director had started discussions on how the committee’s form and function could be further strengthened. It was agreed that a proposed way forward would be presented to the February meeting.

 Terms of Reference Approved ToR for the Serious Incident Review Group were approved (attached for information)

Board of Directors: 25 November 2015 - Public Agenda Item: TBP50.3/15 Attachment: D For Information By: Helen Greatorex, Executive Director of Nursing & Quality

CARE QUALITY COMMISSION COMPLIANCE ACTION UPDATE

SUMMARY & PURPOSE

The Trust continues to ensure that the actions required following the Care Quality Commission’s inspection in January are completed, where possible, by the end of November. The summary (Appendix 1) provides a summary to date, which was reviewed by the Quality Committee on 19 November. The Governance Support Team and Care Delivery Services all hold the detail relating to each specific item and action, these are closely monitored and any variance to plan addressed.

The Executive Assurance Committee (EAC) considered progress at its November meeting and suggested additional steps to seek assurance, including:

 Asking the Director of Nursing Standards to re-inspect the services subject to compliance notices and sharing the outcomes with EAC.  Arranging board visits so that directors cover each service in order to seek assurance that the plans reflect what is happening on the ground and to establish with staff whether any barriers exist that the board can support them with.

Some excellent progress has been made with the Quality Improvement Plan and an update in each of the themes across the five domains is due to be published on our website during the w/c 23 November 2015. The main area to highlight to the Board where there remains concern in meeting the improvement trajectory agreed is statutory and mandatory training compliance. This is being monitored through the People Committee and Care Delivery Services and Corporate Services are establishing alternative plans to meet the target.

The second area to highlight to the Board is the improvement required in our dementia inpatient units in East and West Sussex. The East Sussex plan is progressing well and a full business case will be brought to the Board in Q4 of 2015/16 for approval of funding for the preferred option. A SOC for the West Sussex reconfiguration is in development and the case for change has been shared with Commissioners.

LINK TO OUR 2020 VISION

The provision of Safe, Effective, Quality Patient Care.

ACTION REQUIRED BY BOARD MEMBERS

The Board is asked to note the progress to date, the issues arising, and the steps suggested by the Executive Assurance Committee.

Trust Quality and Performance Report – October 2015

SUMMARY & PURPOSE

The Trust Performance report, attached, provides a summary of Trust performance against an agreed set of performance indicators related to Quality, People, Finance, and those set by Monitor and CCG Commissioners. The Executive Summary, at the front of the report highlights the current key risks and emerging issues.

The Trust Board is asked to:  Review the performance of the organisation as reported.

LINK TO ANNUAL PLAN

The Annual Plan areas this paper relates to –

1. Quality and Experience of patients 2. Finance Information and Performance 3. People

ACTION REQUIRED BY BOARD MEMBERS

The Trust Board is asked to:  Review the performance of the organisation as reported and consider / test the actions in place to address the concerns raised.

1.0 Introduction

The Trust Performance report is attached to this paper. This report is published in one revised format this month, which is laid out as follows.

1. A Trust-wide heat map at the front of the report, which details the performance of each Care Delivery Unit against the key quality and performance indicators. The heat map describes the rolling quarter’s performance against the key indicators at a glance. The key to the left of the heat map describes which CQC domain the indicator relates to and whether targets have been set whether they are local, national or Monitor targets. The heat map shows a financial rating and quality rating for each area. Please note that the quality rating calculated based on the performance against the key non finance indicators in the list. The appropriateness of the algorithm used for each Care Delivery Unit is in development and hence the rating should be taken as draft at this stage.

2. The Trust wide section details the key areas of achievement, key issues, and emerging issues impacting on the Trusts performance. This section also covers any Trust wide issues which are not covered in the Adult and Specialist sections of the report.

3. Adult and Specialist performance is described in the following sections of the report. Narrative within these reports is organised around the Care Quality Commission domains of Responsive, Well lead, Safety and Caring.

2.0 Report

The Trust has achieved the following indicators at the end of October 2015/16: Care Programme Approach reviews in the last 12 months, 7 day follow ups, Early Intervention new cases of psychosis, Gate-keeping of Inpatient Admissions, Access to Healthcare for people with a Learning Disability, Mental Health Minimum Dataset (completeness) and Mental Health Minimum Dataset (Outcomes).

The Trust has not achieved the Delayed Transfers of Care indicator in October; however progress is being made, and is reporting 7.7% against the target of 7.5%. Adult services are reporting 9.4% delays. 41 patients were delayed at the end of October.

3.0 Recommendation/Action Required

The Trust Board is asked to:

Trust-wide Performance NHS Foundation Trust

TRUST WIDE - KEY ACHIEVEMENTS IN THE MONTH

The number of external contractual placements in the month has reduced significantly with none being reported in September and 2 bed nights in October.

TRUST WIDE - AREAS OF CONCERN

Temporary staff costs as a proportion of pay: Temporary staff costs accounted for 12.97% of the pay bill in October. Of this, agency costs accounted for 6.2% of the pay bill. NHS Employers have suggested that temporary staff spend should be less than 11% and agency spend less than 2 to 3% of the total pay bill.

The Cost Improvement Plan achieved at Month 7 (year to date) was £2,463k against a target of £6,846k, and is therefore reporting a shortfall of £4,383k.

A summary of the year to date planned and actual CIP is shown in the table below.

Year to Date at Month 7 Total Target £k Actual £k Variance £k

Corporate 109 59 -50 Estates and Site Rationalisation 536 516 -20

Strategic Pay 1,365 329 -1,036

Operational Services 4,580 1,559 -3,020 Procurement and Non Pay 256 - -256

Total 6,846 2,463 -4,383

As can be seen from the table above there are significant gaps in the Strategic Pay and Operational Services work streams. Specialist Services have found all of their CIP on a non-recurring basis.

It should be noted that the Strategic Pay work stream relates to the planning gap inherent in our CIP, and has been spread equally over each month of the year.

Finance, Financial performance: October has resulted in a deficit of £54K, against a break even target. The year to date variance is £940k. The main underlying issues continue to relate to the shortfall of cost improvement targets within pay and non-pay, overspending inpatient wards, and high agency usage. There were minimal levels of ECR usage in the month, for the second month in a row. The value of non-recurrent savings at the end of October is £3,463k, which has increased by £454k in the month.

Trust-wide Performance NHS Foundation Trust

TRUSTWIDE - EMERGING ISSUES

Patient Experience, Complaints: In October 87% of complaints were responded to within the Trust’s target of 25 working days or other mutually agreed timeframe.

71 new complaints were received in October compared to an average of 60 per month over the last year (there has been a 28% increase in complaints over the last 12 months). An increase in the number of CAMHS and later life complaints were seen in Q2, compared to Q1, with July showing a high number of CAMHS complaints (28). This co- incided with the school holidays and the publication of the CQC report, which may have been a contributing factor.

People, Sickness Absence: The Trust sickness absence rates are 4.2% compared to 3.9% for the same period last year against a target of 3.5%

In response to an increase in sickness absence, and in line with our strategy to empower local services, HR advisors are working pro-collaboratively with Care Delivery Services (CDS) to improve attendance. This continues the actions reported in prior months.

Serious Incidents: All Serious Incidents (SIs) are reviewed by the Trust in accordance with the severity of the inci- dent. Level 1 reviews relate to moderate harm, Level 2 incidents relate to serious harm which involves a death. Level 3 incidents involve a homicide event. Final SI reports should be shared with Commissioners within 60 working days of the SI being reported.

Analysis of trends, themes and hotspots as well as benchmarking of the number SIs is carried out by the Director of Nursing Standards and Safety. Information regarding SIs is also presented to each locality divisional leadership team to ensure that data is triangulated with other performance information to identify and act on any emerging areas of concern. The outliers identified are given further review by each operational area in partnership with the Director of Nursing Standards and Safety.

A significant number of Serious Incidents related to Information Governance Issues has been noticed in CAMHS ser- vices over the past 6 months. ( 5 in June, 1 in July and 2 in August and 2 in September, none in October). These have been reviewed in detail by the service and an action plan has been developed to ensure lessons are learnt.

Waiting times for assessment in 4 weeks: 95.6% of patients were assessed within 4 weeks in Sussex. 92.9% of patients in Brighton & Hove were assessed in this timeframe. The division has an action plan in place to improve this performance which is regularly reviewed with the Brighton & Hove Clinical Commis- sioning Group. The performance is under target in Crawley (90.2%), a plan is in place and has been agreed with Commissioners.

IAPT Waiting times, Monitor Indicator: By March 2016, 75% of people referred to the IAPT programme should begin treatment within 6 weeks of referral, and 95% should begin treatment within 18 weeks of re- ferral. The Trust is required to report against this indicator to Monitor from Q3 this year.

Responsive In October, 59% of patients met the 6 week target from referral to treatment and 95% of patients were treated in 18 weeks.

This is a key target for CCGs as well as a Monitor target for the Trust. As a consequence, the Primary Men- tal Health Care Delivery Unit has been working closely with East Sussex CCGs to identify the resources that would be required to meet the standard by the end of the financial year. The estimated cost to achieve this was £800k. The CCGs identified funding of £417k and wrote a bid to NHSE for the remaining amount from a central national fund that was not successful.

As a consequence, the CCGs have reached a decision that they will be unable to achieve the target set. The £417k will still be invested in Health in Mind and the service has forecast that they will achieve the target by the end of July 2016, assuming demand remains constant and that recruitment to key posts is successful.

Of course the CCGs deciding that they cannot give us the funding to meet the target means that we as a Trust won’t meet the target. We have considered the option of whether we should be escalating this with CCGs. However, on balance we feel that this course of action would not be advisable because of the follow- ing reasons: 1. The CCGs don’t have the money. They have already identified £417k and any additional money taken would be better used in our secondary care services 2. Up till this point, there has been a strong collaborative approach taken in trying to achieve the funding required and good relationships maintained 3. There is no pressure from CCGs to meet the target given that NHSE funding hasn’t been forth- coming 4. A great many other services are unlikely to meet the monitor target given the lack of central funds available to address it 5. Even if the Trust got the funding, there is no practical way we could achieve the target in the timescales remaining given recruitment challenges and a lack of available agency staff 6. A more gradual and graded approach to the clearing of the waiting list is more realistic clinically and will help us to ensure governance and quality standards that we could not guarantee if we tried to clear the waiting list more quickly with staff we have no accountability over.

Delayed Transfers of Care (DTC)

The Trust has not achieved the Delayed Transfers of Care indicator in October, however progress is being made, and is reporting 7.9% against the target of 7.5%. Adult services are reporting 9.8% delays. 41 pa- tients were delayed at the end of October, the main challenges are in the Dementia wards and Rehab in West Sussex. Consistent criteria is being applied to all delays reported across the trust.

There is a clear focus on timely transfer from acute care arising in the context of the plan to manage acute bed pressures.

A weekly Trust wide review of all DTCs is in place where planning and discharge dates are reviewed for all patients.

The Trust is also engaging with Commissioners and the wider Healthcare Community through the Systems Resilience Groups to ensure that system wide issues are addressed and anticipating that winter pressures could further impact on the availability of placements for people with Dementia.

Of those patients who were delayed at the end of October.

2 were awaiting public funding 2 were awaiting further NHS Care 8 were awaiting residential home placements 14 were awaiting nursing home placements 1 was awaiting a package of care in their own home 5 were due to family choice issues 7 were awaiting housing Responsive 2 were due to disputes

Extra Contractual Payments / Bed Pressures.

The number of external contractual placements in the month has reduced significantly with none being re- ported in September and 2 bed days October.

The pressures on the acute care pathway are likely to continue over the winter months. The current clini- cally led approach has stabilised the situation. Clinical audits and routine reporting have shown that patients with psychosis have a longer length of stay than our average or target length of stay. Development of the clinical pathway for psychosis is being prioritised to improve clinical outcomes for patients with this diagno- sis and ensure a more consistent approach across the trust. This will include a more focused approach to medication compliance and post-discharge follow up. It should bring added value in terms of patient satis- faction particularly in relation to information about medication.

Well Led Reducing Inpatient Spend

The Trust has a cumulative £997k variance related to ECR spent and inpatient cost reduction. Work is contin- uing to ensure that wards understand and meet their revised budgets, which were increased to reflect im- proved staffing ratios and the three shift system, at the start of the financial year.

There is a detailed plan for reducing overspending wards, further to the increase in budget to ensure safer staffing. This has taken a clinically-led approach led by Helen Greatorex and Dr Shakil Malik with the Matrons sharing best practice and developing plans for their services that address the central themes. Clinical Deliv- ery Services (CDS) are using mid year performance reviews to ensure that Matrons and Ward Manager’s ob- jectives are closely aligned to Trust objectives. Attention is being given to the use of non-framework agen- cies and we are working closely with framework agencies to improve fill rates. Good progress has been made in securing consistent agency staff in areas such as West Sussex Dementia wards.

CDSs are adopting a look and see approach, with managers and clinicians spending regular time on the wards, identifying and helping staff to resolve local issues.

Complaints

44 new complaints were received in October in Adult services. 77.8% of complaints responded to in the month were responded to in the agreed timeframe. In response Clinical Delivery Services plan to set a bench- mark based on best performing mental health trusts and work towards achieving this, reduce the number of concerns escalated to complaint and resolve issues locally. They are considering the key themes and focusing on trends and patterns linking this data with their service visiting programmes.

CPA 12 month Formal Review

The Trust has achieved the indicator which measures whether patients have had a review under the Care Programme Approach (CPA) in the last 12 months. 96.1% of patients on CPA have had a review in the last 12 month at the end of October.

Patient Experience Feedback

82% of patients have responded favourably to the friends and family questionnaire, 57% extremely positive- ly in Adult Services. The Trust is setting internal targets based on the number of patient seen in each service to improve the response rates to these questionnaires which will produce a richer source of qualitative feed- back which can be used to support service improvement activities.

Payment by Results

The Trust is working closely with local Mental Health Commissioners to develop a comprehensive work pro- gramme to drive the development of payment by results, both as contracting currency, and as a tool to drive service improvement and better outcomes for patients. This will be one of the Trusts CQUIN schemes in 2015/16.

Adults Care Delivery Services have developed action plans, East Sussex have made good progress and have shared their approach. Performance is expected to improve significantly by the end of the financial year in all areas.

Caring Discharge Summaries: The Trust has recently undertaken an audit of the timeliness of communication of discharge summaries to GPs and patients. The initial audit shows that performance levels are not achieving the current contractual targets. (Same day for inpatient services, 48 hours for community) The following ac- tions are planned:-

 A repeat audit is being carried out, as part of the clinical audit programme. The scope of the audit is being extended to gain an understanding of how long the discharge summaries take to be communicated. The audit team are looking to include the NHS net emails to evidence the timeliness of communication.  Agree and implement standard templates for discharge summaries and use NHS.net to eliminate faxing, in line with the new national requirements.  The automation of Discharge Summaries is being planned for the implementation of Carenotes in Adult Services.

Waiting times to assessment and treatment in Hampshire: Performance against waiting times in Hampshire Children and Young people’s services is not achieving the contractual targets. 43.7% of patients assessed in October were seen in 4 weeks.

Hampshire CAMHS have been awarded the tender for the coming 5 years and can now begin work on the mobilisation programme.

A mobilisation plan is being agreed with Commissioners to reduce the existing waiting times. The existing waiting list is planned to be reduced using a combination of assistant psychologists on 6 month contracts, support from No Limits, a third sector provider concentrating on tier 2 work and existing staff working extended hours and agency staff where required. Responsive

The service is planning to achieve the 4 week target for assessment and 18 weeks target for treatment by end of March. The current risks identified are the volume of those waiting in the New Forest, Fareham and Gosport and Havant teams and delays in getting staff IT equipment (approx. 30 laptops required for a limited period), and IT log-ons which are needed to access clinical systems and evidence activity and reduced waiting times.

Waiting times to assessment, CAMHS Kent & Medway: 78% of assessments were seen in 6 weeks (the contractual target). It should be noted that some CCG areas are performing better than others. This is ex- pected as a number of areas have recovery plans in place which include seeing those patients who have been waiting the longest as a priority. Seeing these patients has the effect of increasing the average wait re- ported in the month for those assessed and reducing the average percentage performance reported.

The service is working closely with the commissioner and have been able to give assurance that the Trust is utilising all resources to best effect towards achieving the specified waiting times targets. With the existing funding it is not possible to improve significantly on all waiting times targets, specifically with the increases in referrals that the service is experiencing.

West Kent CCG have indicated that they will provide additional funding although this is currently not expected until January.

The service is experiencing concerns with the quality of data captured and reported and is reliant on manual processes for some areas of reporting. A workshop is took place in October to review the issues and agreed a plan to move to electronic reporting. This has full clinical involvement

Sussex CAMHS and LD Waiting times. Demand & Capacity: 93.7% of specialist routine referrals were seen within the 4 week target (CAMHS and Learning Disabilities). Whilst the CAMHS service achieved the target at over 98%, the Learning Difficulty service saw 75% in the 4 week period. This related to the specialist clinical assessment service, which has a small team and suffered staff shortages in the period.

The CAMHS service has completed the demand and capacity work with colleagues from the Performance team and this has been signed off through local Leadership teams. Discussions are being had with each team to enable them to make local adjustments to bring about improved efficiency. The results of this work will then be shared with Commissioners. The Learning Disabilities service is also looking to carry out a similar exercise.

The Early Intervention Service: The Early Intervention service has achieved the monthly Monitor target for Care Programme Approach re- views to be completed every 12 months. Additionally the service is working towards meeting the new wait- ing times targets in April 2016. The service will begin reporting against those new targets in shadow form from January 2016. Additional funding has been provided to enable the teams to deliver a full range of NICE recommended interventions, to have the capacity to respond to a wider age group, patients with an “at risk mental state” and a quicker access timeframe. The service has a comprehensive action plan in place to build the capability of the team, and the ability to report against the new performance indicators. Progress to- wards achievement of these new targets is positive. Responsive

Sickness absence is 3.9% in September in Specialist Services (reported one month in arrears). The Secure & Forensic service is 4.2% in September.

Temporary Costs as a proportion of Pay: The temporary costs as a proportion of pay is 12% in Special- ist Services. Agency spend is 6% of the total pay bill.

Learning Disability Services: Temporary staff 11% as a proportion of pay, agency 3%. Recruitment pressures exist in the Selden Centre and Mayfield court. Intensive support is being provided by the organisational de- velopment team, and focus has been given on the recruitment process.

Secure & Forensic services: Temporary staff 14% as a proportion of pay, agency 2%. Alternative advertising platforms have been explored by these services, including the use of social media such as twitter, to attract new staff. Agency costs have partly been incurred due to increase seclusion and enhanced observation of patients. Two nurses have been appointed this month. The service is looking to better utilise the bank staff available to reduce this spend.

CAMHS: Temporary staff 12% as a proportion of pay, agency 9%. Hampshire and Kent have high agency use at 13% and 15% of pay bill respectively. A retention strategy is being developed in this area, and a re- cruitment day has been successful this month. A multi-strand and focused recruitment campaign is happen- ing across the CAMHS service to attract new staff to the service. The campaign, led by the Communications team, includes a combination of media including radio coverage, personal stories from staff, a post campaign and approaches to make it easier for candidates to access NHS Jobs.

Income & Expenditure / Cost Improvement: Specialist Services have spent £33.1m against a budget of £34.1m at Period 7. (Variance £1m). Although Specialist Services have identified all of their Cost Improve-

ment plan, it is not all on a recurring basis. More work is underway to improve this position through service Well Led remodelling to make some of those savings permanent.

The service has developed a comprehensive action plan to respond to the issues highlighted from a review of each incident. This has led to a significant reduction in SIs for the Care Delivery Service and no incidents related to information govern- ance in October.

FINANCE AND INVESTMENT COMMITTEE SUMMARY REPORT

SUMMARY & PURPOSE

This report provides a summary of the papers and discussions held at the Finance and Investment Committee meeting held on the 23rd October 2015 in order to provide the Board with assurance on the Trust’s financial and operational performance and investment decisions.

The purpose of this Committee is to drive excellent financial performance and ensure that the Trust has an investment strategy that supports the business and is financially deliverable. The Committee is responsible for ensuring that robust scrutiny is in place, taking action to commission further work as required in the achievement of this objective.

Given the Trust’s current financial position, in October the Committee’s main area of focus was the Trust’s financial recovery plan. The Committee expressed their concerns regarding the results for September and highlighted that significant work and focus is required over the second half of the year if the Trust is to report a break even position by the end of the financial year. The Committee requested a more detailed update on North West Sussex and the Corporate Savings Plans at the next meeting.

The Committee discussed a number of other key areas including the Quality & Performance Report, and financial planning and contracting round for 2016/17.

2.0 Introduction

The purpose of this Committee is to drive excellent financial performance and ensure that the Trust has an investment strategy that supports the business and is financially deliverable. The Committee is responsible for ensuring that robust scrutiny is in place, taking action to commission further work as required in the achievement of this objective.

The Finance and Investment Committee usually meet in the week before the Board meeting. The next Committee meeting is due to be held on the 16th November 2015. This report provides a summary of the meeting held on the 23rd October 2015, the main areas of discussion are set out in the body of the report below.

3.0 Report

Month 6 Financial Report and Delivery of the Financial Recovery Plan

The Committee received a report on the Trust’s financial performance for month 6 noting that the Trust was reporting a deficit of £128k for Month 6, taking the year to date deficit to £866k. However, this now moves the Monitor Capital Service Cover Rating to a rating of 2. Although, this is only with a small headroom of £18k, it does mean that the Trust is now back to reporting an overall Financial Sustainability Risk Rating of 3.

The Committee noted that overall in the month, the pressure on beds in Adult Services continued to be well managed, with no external placements in September. A similar clinically led approach has also started to tackle the issues relating to the over spend on Adult in-patient units, with the overspend reducing in the month by £35k, down to £207k. However, of more concern is the lack of progress in releasing savings in Adult Community Services as part of their service improvement programme. In addition, activity levels were under plan in Learning Disability and Nursing Home Services and very little progress was made in delivering the Plan C Corporate Savings in the month. The Committee also raised their concern regarding the level of overspend in North West Sussex, which is reporting an overspend of £1.1m year to date.

The Committee received papers on other work being undertaken to address the Trust’s financial pressures, including the Agency Reduction Programme and update on use of the e-Rostering System, together with verbal updates on the non-pay work stream and the Adult Services Community service improvement programme. The update on community services provided details of the demand and capacity work that is being piloted in Brighton and North West Sussex. Given the significance of this work, not only in respect of this year’s savings plan, but an area for recurrent savings for 2016/17, the Committee requested that they be kept up to date on the progress being made in this area.

The Committee expressed their concerns regarding the results for September and highlighted that significant work and focus is required over the second half of the year if the Trust is to report a break even position by the end of the financial year. The Committee requested a more detailed update on North West Sussex and the Corporate Savings Plans at the next meeting.

The Committee also had a lengthy discussion regarding the forecast out-turn to be reported to Monitor with the Quarter 2 return and agreed to report a best, mid and worst case position. It was agreed to still aim for a breakeven position although recognising that based on performance over the first half of the year, this was currently the best case position.

Changes to Monitor’s Risk Assessment Framework The Committee received a paper setting out the key changes to Monitor’s Risk Assessment Framework that came into effect in August. The Committee requested that the Value for Money Test is discussed with the Trust’s internal and external auditors well in advance of the year end in order to give the Trust the best change of obtaining an un-qualified opinion in this area for 2015/16.

The Committee also requested that the internal auditors follow up the Cost Improvement Audit in Quarter 4 with a view to improving the opinion, as it was agreed that the final opinion on this audit (which is currently red) may have an impact on the Value for Money Test.

Operational Performance Report The Committee received the Performance Reports for Adult and Specialist Services for Month 6, which highlighted the following key areas of concern:

(i) 7 Day Follow Ups The Trust had just met the target for patients followed in 7 days post discharge in September, achieving 95.1%, again a target of 95%. However, given the CQC’s concern regarding deaths in the first three days after discharge, the Committee were informed that the Trust would be setting its own internal target to follow up patients within 3 days. The Committee welcomed this proactive approach.

(ii) Delayed Transfers of Care The Committee noted that at the end of September the Trust was still reporting high levels of delayed transfers of care, i.e. 10.9% against a target of 7.5%. However, it noted was that the number of patients delayed had reduced to 40 at the end of the month and that good work was being undertaken in this area.

(iii) New Monitor Waiting Time Targets The Committee were updated on the new waiting time targets being introduced by Monitor for Improving Access to Psychological Therapies (IAPT) from Quarter 3 and Early Intervention in Psychosis (EIP) from Quarter 4.

(iv) Data Quality Concerns regarding data quality where also highlighted to the Committee and it was agreed that this issue would be raised through the Executive Assurance Committee.

Capital Expenditure Report The Committee received an update on this year’s Capital Programme, noting that although the capital programme was overspent year to date, capital expenditure is expected to come back in line with plan by the end of the financial year.

Contract Update The contract report provided the Committee with details of the how the additional investment from commissioners was being used to improve services to patients. The contract update also set out the details of the performance against the Trust’s CQUIN schemes for 2015/16 and development of plans for the 2016/17 contracting round. It was noted that the themes in the CQC Quality Improvement Plan would be used as themes for new investment in the contract negotiations with CCGs. It was also noted that the Trust had received the commissioning intentions from commissioners for 2016/17.

Financial Planning for 2016/17 The Committee received a paper setting out the financial planning assumptions and time table for 2016/17 planning round, noting that the assumptions may change subject to the national planning assumption and financial settlement for the NHS expected to be published by Monitor in early December.

The Committee agreed to the overarching assumption that the Trust should aim to deliver a breakeven plan for 2016/17, which would require delivery of a £12.2m service improvement plan, based on the current assumptions on the national financial settlement. It was requested that the draft financial plan for 2016/17 be presented to the Committee in January.

Hampshire CAMHS Waiting List Project The Committee received the project plan for the Hampshire CAMHS Waiting List Project and were asked to discuss and sign off the plan, as commissioners were looking for evidence that the plan had full support and commitment from the Board. The Committee were in full support of the plan and ask this to be conveyed to commissioners.

Commercial Report The Committee received and discussed the Commercial Report noting the current bids, an update on current tenders and new developments being considered by the Trust.

Future of 78 Crawley Road The Committee received a paper that provided an update on the termination of the joint venture with Care UK and supported the proposal to transfer the business into the Trust. However, the Committee requested that consideration be given to where the management of Crawley Road sits within the Trust’s management structure and how the service is incorporated into the Trust’s overall strategy for rehabilitation services.

4.0 Recommendation/Action Required

3.0 Report

Income & Expenditure Position

In October the Trust saw a slight improvement in the Trust’s financial position, reporting a deficit of £54k (Month 6: £128k), taking the year to date deficit to £920k.

Income In October income was on plan, with a year to date favourable variance of £33k. In the month there was an improvement in the occupancy levels in the Nursing Home, improving the overall performance in income.

Pay Pay was overspent by £62k in the month, increasing the year to date adverse variance to £450k. Pay costs increased by £173k in the month, which was mainly as a result of an

increase in agency use, as well as a reduction in substantive vacancies.

Non-pay Non-pay was overspent by £116k in October, which was an increase of £81k in the month. There was a significant improvement in the use of external placements and drugs costs were also underspent. However, these were off-set by overspends across a number of areas including the cost of provisions and patient travel costs.

A summary of the income and expenditure position is set out in the table below.

Corporate Services were £4k underspent in the month, which was a deterioration in performance compared to the £68k underspent last month. Year to date Corporate Services are £141k overspent.

Main Issues

The main issues that continue to affect the Trust’s financial performance are use of temporary staffing and over spending in Adult in-patient units, slow progress in maintaining the level of under spends in community teams, lack of progress in to delivering additional savings in Corporate Services and realising savings through cost improvement plans. Further details for each of these areas are set out below.

Use of Temporary Staffing After a reduction in the use of temporary staffing in Month 6 to £1,786k, costs increased again in Month 7 to £1,871k. In October bank and agency staffing accounting for £1,016k (Month 6: £1,083k) and £855k (Month 6: £703k) of the pay bill respectively. This equates to 11.9% of the pay bill being spent on temporary staffing of which 5.4% was spent on agency staff (Month 6: 4.6%). However, it should be noted that most of the £152k increase in the use of agency staff was in Hampshire Children and Young People’s Services (£100k) due to an increase in staffing to address waiting times for assessment and treatment that has been funded by commissioners. There was also a £72k increase in the use of medical agency in the month, with the main users being Coastal West Sussex, Brighton & Hove and Kent Children & Young People’s Service. This issue is being addressed by trying to attract NHS locums to these posts, whilst recruitment is undertaken.

Good work is also being undertaken in addressing the recruitment issues for nursing staff. The Trust is in the process of finalising a secondment opportunity for a nurse recruitment specialist. Pilot schemes are also in place in North West Sussex to recruit to

new roles for in-patient services including, apprentices, occupational therapists and clinical support workers.

Monitor continue to take a keen interest in the use of agency staff and required the Trust to provide significant details of where the Trust is not using agencies on the national framework, including information on hourly rates and quality checks on these agencies. Currently, the Trust is sourcing 82% of its agency staff from framework agencies, with the aim to move to 100% as soon as possible.

At the end of October there were 324 vacancies that were actively being recruited to, 164 of these are in Adult Services and 55 in Children and Young People’s Services.

Pressure on Adult In-patient Beds Good progress continues to be made in reducing the use of external placements, with only two bed day used for external placements since the middle of August. Work continues to reduce the level of delayed transfers of care and length of stay, with the aim of getting each area into balance to allow patients to be admitted to their local units. This will address the CQCs concerns around patients being transferred across the Trust, and will also reduce patient transport costs, which are currently running at around £20k to £30k per month.

The level of overspend across the Adult Services in patient units was £202k in the month, with only a small reduction compared to the £207k overspend in September. Although, each ward now has an individual action plan to ensure staffing levels are keep within budget, this is slow to realise a reduction in the overspend. However, it should be noted that in October, the overspend on the wards in Langley Green Hospital was reduced to £2k, which is a significant improvement for the unit. The position is also expected to improve in East Sussex, as meetings have been held with ward managers and daily bed calls are helping them manage their staffing levels.

The October Performance Contract meeting brought together all the Adult Service CDSs and areas of good practice were shared to help address these pressures.

Community Services The other main area of concern is the slow progress being made to realise savings in Adult Community Services. However, there was a significant improvement in the underspent in October to £207k (Month 6: £112k). The demand and capacity pilots are now well underway in Brighton and Hove and North West Sussex which is helping to provide more clarity on how staff are using their time to provide assessment and on- going treatment for patients. Establishment of the patient pathways is also essential in taking this work forward, particularly for patients with psychosis and mood disorder.

Cost Improvement Plan (CIP) Overall in the month £478k was saved against the target of £986k, which is £508k less than planned. However, the savings delivered in month increased compared to last month, due to additional savings being achieved in Specialist Services. Year to date there is a recurrent shortfall of £4,383k, partly off-set by non-recurrent savings of £3,463k.

The key reasons for the shortfall at the end of Month 7 include the significant planning gap in the CIP, which accounts for £1,036k of the variance. This mainly relates to unidentified savings in Corporate and Specialist services, which is being addressed by the Financial Recovery Plan. £853k of the variance relates to the standardisation of community services. A further £997k of the shortfall variance related to the cost of external placements and inpatient cost reduction.

Financial Recovery Plan & Year End Forecast In October the Trust’s performance was slightly better than the mid-case forecast deficit set out in the financial recovery plan, reporting a deficit of £920k against a forecast deficit of £1,013k, with the main improvements in the position coming from improvement in community savings, increased underspends in Specialist Services and savings realised in Corporate Services.

Based on the Month 7 position, the financial recovery plan has been updated to give the following range of outcomes:-

 Best Case Breakeven  Mid Case Deficit of £883k  Worst Case (Run Rate) Deficit of £1,604k

In order to address the shortfall on the financial recovery plan, further planned savings totalling £1.6m have been agreed as a Plan C Corporate Savings plan. However, to date slow progress has been made in delivering these savings.

The Trust is still aiming to achieve a break even position by the end of the financial year, but this requires real focused effort on delivering the financial recovery plan and addition planned savings by Corporate Services (Plan C Savings Plan). Without this the Trust will end the year in deficit, which will only increase the financial pressures on 2016/17.

Summary and Conclusion

In October the Trust saw a slight improvement in the Trust’s financial position, reporting a deficit of £54k (Month 6: £128k), taking the year to date deficit to £920k. This provides the Trust with an overall Financial Sustainability Risk Rating of 3, with a head room of £118k on the Capital Service Cover Rating of a 2.

Overall in the month, the pressure on beds in Adult Services continued to be managed well, with only 2 external placements in October. In the month there was also an improvement in underspend of community services ahead of the implementation of service improvement plans and Specialist Services continued to perform well. However, there continues to be concern around the level of overspend on the Adult in-patient units and lack of progress in delivering Corporate savings.

Currently the Trust is reporting a best case forecast of breakeven, with mid and worst case deficit of £0.8m and £1.6m respectively. However, work continues to aim to deliver a breakeven position, in order to improve the Trust’s underlying financial position in preparation for 2016/17.

4.0 Recommendation/Action Required

The Board is asked to note the financial performance for Month 7 and work being undertaken to address the financial pressures.

5.0 Next Steps

Progress on the delivery of the Trust’s financial position will continued to be monitored through the Finance and Investment Committee. However there will additional scrutiny of the cost improvement plan by the Transformation Board and financial position through the Executive Assurance Committee, as well as the monthly Performance Contract meetings with Operational Services. Capital expenditure will continue to be monitored through the Estates & Facilities Executive Group and reported to the Finance & Investment Committee.

PEOPLE COMMITTEE SUMMARY REPORT

SUMMARY & PURPOSE

The People Committee met on 20 November 2015. This report provides a summary of the meeting; the main areas of discussion are set out below.

ACTION REQUIRED BY BOARD MEMBERS

This report is for discussion.

PEOPLE COMMITTEE SUMMARY REPORT

1. Executive Summary

The Committee received and considered papers/presentations on the following:

 Listening into Action  Improving working lives – Staff Health and Wellbeing programme  Exit interview feedback  Values and Behaviours Framework  Update on statutory and mandatory training compliance  Employee Relations cases – analysis and improving resolution timescales  Exceptions report on workforce indicators  Finance and agency programme updates

The agenda was focussed on staff experience, organisational development and performance identifying key risks and mitigation

2. REPORT

2.1 Listening into Action

The Committee were updated on actions to embed Listening into Action principles into the “way we work” across the trust. In particular this included the opportunity at the 27 November Leadership conference for “pass it on” learning from LiA changes. There were two sessions planned for staff to pass on their learning as well as a stand to showcase changes so far and a booth to encourage sharing of innovative ideas and changes made to improve services. Care Delivery Services (CDS) were also leading local events between October and December. The events will include LiA champions and those leading pioneer projects. The LiA Coordinator would continue to run events with local teams supporting them to embed the LiA model as the way we work.

Sue Morris also presented outcomes of a review of LiA six months into implementation. The review and outcomes would help to inform how we progress LiA into 20161/17, including changes to the Sponsor Group to reflect the development of CDSs and increased clinical engagement.

2.2 Improving Working Lives

Caroline Haynes, Deputy People Director and Fiona Long, Occupational Health Manager presented an analysis of data on sickness absence; referrals to occupational health services and the priorities for 16/17. The two main reasons for sickness absence: anxiety/stress depression and musculo-skeletal problems would continue to be the focus of health and wellbeing programmes. Current support such as mindfulness sessions; psychologist sessions funded for the occupational health service and health and wellbeing events had a positive impact. The Committee asked whether we could assess who is most at risk and also whether there was more detail on what was actually wrong with staff on sickness absence rather than the general categories in the repot as this would help target services in future. For 16/17, the programme to re-tender the Occupational Health and

Employee Assistance Programmes at the end of the current contracts offered a further opportunity to place increasing emphasis on education and promotion of healthy lifestyles and early interventions for staff with long term conditions. Learnings from Health in Mind will also be sought. The Committee would review progress again in March 2016.

2.3 Values and Behaviours Framework

The Committee noted that consultation had now been completed and this version will be launched at the Leadership Conference on 27 November 2016. This was recognised as very important framework supporting the cultural changes to achieve the 2020 Vision goals and would be supported by a programme to embed the values and behaviours in interview processes, induction, supervision and appraisals over the next two years. The Committee asked whether the wording on the framework could be simplified for the launch.

2.4 Statutory and Mandatory Training Progress

The Committee expressed their thanks for the detailed and improved report covering both compliance and places to address capacity gaps in classroom based training. The Committee noted improvements against target in a number of subjects but requested assurance about plans to meet the minimum overall target of 75% compliance by March 2016. Adrian Whittington confirmed compliance figures were now available for all managers to view team compliance and to enable them to review the figures urgently with their teams to put in place plans to address shortfalls. It was noted that compliance was also now being included in the “heat maps” showing overall CDS performance.

Diana Marsland requested that that a plan to address capacity issues be brought to the committee with progress reported against this plan until full compliance is achieved. Areas of exception should be available to this Committee so that the Board could be provided with assurance that plans were in place to achieve the agreed targets set. This would be provided for the next Committee in January. There was discussion about specific lower compliance figures such as Fire safety awareness and fire safety on site. It was noted that staff could not achieve compliance currently in one aspect such as the e-learning module as compliance currently required on-site training to be completed as well. There were proposals currently being considered for changing on-site training requirements for staff working in non-ward environments.

The Committee were also advised that all Directors were focussing on 100% compliance on e-learning modules across operational and corporate services.

4. PERFORMANCE – EXCEPTIONS

Sue Esser gave an overview of performance against the Workforce Strategy actions as outlined in the Our People report and the Committee noted there wold be a full report at the January People Committee and February Board.

The Committee discussed specific exceptions on sickness absence, initiatives to address vacancies and the implementation of the new job roles.

4.1 Sickness absence – 4.29% overall in September but higher in certain CDSs such as North West Sussex at 6.73%. The Committee noted intense focus on both short

term and longer term cases and some real positive improvements in some services with reductions in long term sickness cases through proactive management.

4.2 New roles – The new Band 4 roles had now been advertised for Langley Green Hospital and there had been a very positive response so far. The role is designed to pick up functions from the current Band 5 role to release time from current Band 5 posts for essential duties

4.3 Vacancies and “time to hire” – the Committee noted another month of net increase of external starters (56) against leavers (46). The time to hire figure had reduced back to 14.69 weeks. Diana Marsland raised concerns that the figure had not reduced further for some time. In response Sue Esser advised exceptions such as consultants with long notice periods were included in these figures and the team would review ways of presenting the figures by staff group.

4.4 Disciplinary policies – In response to a question from Diana Marsland, Caroline Haynes confirmed that the revised policies were now complete and included more specific timescales for delivering the different stages of the process.

5. ANALYSIS OF EXIT INTERVIEW INFORMATION

The Committee received a first detailed analysis of the 17 electronic responses received when the report was produced. There was a significant amount of detail and the team were thanked for the analysis. It was noted 58.8% of those who had responded were admin and clerical staff with 11.8 being qualified nursing staff. The main reasons for leaving were lack of job satisfaction and not feeling valued by the organisation (both 47%) More positively 78.6% were aware of the Trust’s 2020 Vision and 85% aware of their team objectives.

Given the very small number of responses to date the Committee would review regularly as data built up. The data would also be shared regularly with operational and corporate service teams to inform actions to improve staff engagement and retention.

6. FINANCE AND AGENCY SPEND

The Committee noted the slight improvement in the overall Trust financial position with a deficit of £54k. A discussion then focussed on the specific ongoing concerns about the level of overspend on adult inpatient units and lack of progress in delivering corporate savings being achieved through the financial recovery plan. A number of actions were in place including freezing of vacancies and reduction in spend on maintenance and a continuing requirement to underspend each service until the end of the financial year. However there were some areas not achieving the level of savings required and these were being scrutinised through another level of Exec team review and peer review.

The Committee also noted work on the plans to deliver the £3.2m CIP required from corporate services in 16/17 and the work that the Exec team were doing to define this by late January in preparation for implementation from April. This was supporting work already being done in individual corporate team to identify the savings plan for 16/17.

The Committee reviewed agency spend noting the increase from £703k in September to £832k in October. This was partly as a result of spend in medical agency predicted in last month’s report as a result of vacancies and an additional £100k in CHYPS Hampshire,

funded by commissioners, to address waiting times. The challenges continue to be agency use on dementia wards, less predictable use on adult wards and North West Sussex. In particular there has been increased clinical leadership focus on use of additional staff covering observations and inconsistent application of the policy. A programme of master classes is in place.

The Committee were updated on the transition to the framework agencies with 82% of shifts now through framework agencies.

7. RECOMMENDATION/ACTION REQUIRED

To note the report, including the risks identified, for information.

Board of Directors: 25 November 2015 – Public Agenda Item: TBP50.6/15 Attachment: I For Discussion By: Sue Morris, Executive Director of Corporate Services

OUR PEOPLE

SUMMARY & PURPOSE

The Board of Directors is asked to consider the information and analysis provided in the November report and ask any questions of the People Director.

LINK TO ANNUAL PLAN

The need to retain a strong focus on reducing agency to improve quality of care remains a priority whilst at the same time maintaining focus on the longer term strategic solutions of service and workforce transformation.

ACTION REQUIRED BY COMMITTEE MEMBERS

The People Committee is asked to note progress against the update progress under each of the 7 workforce programmes as well as the areas identified of concern and ask any questions of the People Director.

Our People

1.0 Executive Summary

The People report for November 2015 aligns with the Trust’s 2020 Strategy and Vision, in particular, goal four, ‘ To be the provider, employer and partner of choice’ and is structured to reflect the 7 programmes outlined in the Workforce Strategy to achieve this goal.

The aim of the report is to inform the Board of developments across the 7 key programmes of work, to highlight areas of concern or risk and provide a high level overview of the key workforce metrics to assure the Committee and the Trust Board of the safety and sustainability of our workforce.

Sickness and turnover continue to be our main causes for concern and those which are being managed very closely. There are a number of initiatives underway to address vacancies and sickness; however the national shortages in qualified nursing staff create added pressure in closing our vacancy gap. We have appointed on a temporary basis, a senior nurse who will support the delivery of the nurse recruitment strategy plans and it is expected that this will accelerate the delivery of outcomes.

In terms of recruitment and retention, there were 95 starters in October (56 External and 39 Internal) and 46 leavers. The WTE percentage turnover rate for October was 15% compared to 15.10% in September. The findings from the completed surveys show that 47% of leavers had worked for the Trust for more than 5 years and 23.5% less than 1 year. The main reasons given for leaving were: not feeling valued by the Trust (47%); lack of job satisfaction (47%); working environment (29%) and to broaden experience (23.5%). 35.5% of leavers were going to other NHS Trusts with 23.5% to same graded NHS positions.

The average time to hire for October was 14.69 weeks compared to 15.07 in September.

Agency spend increased to £845k in October from £703k in September. Medical agency increased by £75k and there was an increase of £100k in Hampshire use of agency with new additional temporary funding to reduce wait times. Total agency now equates to 5.38% of the total month's pay bill, 4.59% in the previous month, with the target being 2/3%.

The monthly sickness absence rate for September 2015 was 4.3% a slight increase on 4.1% the previous month against a target of 3.5%. ’Anxiety/stress/depression’ continues to be the top reason for absence. Nationally the average for other mental health Trusts continue at 4.71%.

Following the completion of the Leadership Forum engagement sessions, feedback from staff on our values and behaviours framework has been taken into account and the framework has been revised accordingly. We will now embark on the new phase of embedding these values through the next round of Leadership Forums. The launch of our Values and Behaviours framework is scheduled to take place at our leadership conference on 27th November.

Page 2 of 3

Appraisal training 2016 dates are being arranged and venues are being booked. The behavioural framework will be embedded in the appraisal paperwork for the 2016 round, accompanied by a training offer for new appraisers and those who want to refresh. Online resources will also be available to provide solutions for staff that cannot attend face to face training during winter pressures.

Exception Reporting

Workforce Metrics Exception Reporting Three key areas are currently being monitored: annual turnover % rate, monthly sickness absence % rate and the monthly vacancy % rate. The exceptions are reported below.

CDS Areas of Action Concern PerformanceSummary

Adult East 5.30% Sickness Active Long Term sickness cases has reduced to 333 WTE equivalent calendar days in September (521 WTE in August). Of the 12 LTS cases, 2 were closed in September, 4 are known to have returned in October, 1 is due to return in December – leaving 5 on-going cases, all of which are of 30 days or less. Advise and training has been given on managing short-term sickness and STS reporting is now more accurate which may equate to the increase this month.

17.4% Vacancy rate Vacancies are being assessed and managed decisions taken on the replacement recruitment. 14 staff that have been recruited with start dates agreed, 3 candidates are awaiting start dates and a further 6 are going through pre-employment checks.

Adult Coastal 5.97% Sickness Coastal continue to work closely with their HR Advisor on addressing Long and Short Term Sickness cases and currently have 19 active sickness cases. The Division continues to use the ER reporting data to identify the areas where sickness absence is highest and these are the areas that additional support on absence manage- ment and team development is given. The Senior HR Advisors have recently opened bookings for front-line management training sessions, including how to manage sickness absence and wellbeing, for which a number of Coastal Managers have signed up.

Adult North 6.73% Sickness Absence increased in the division last month with absence in the division being reported at 6.7%. The Brad- ford Score has been introduced and managers have been supported and trained in its application, this is likely to be a contributing factor to the increase due to an increased focus. Regular absence meetings supported by the Senior HR advisor continue. Bite size management training is being delivered in the division by the Senior HR Advisor over the next 2 months with one of these sessions focussing on sickness absence.

Recruitment is still challenging in Crawley and Horsham. The vacancy rate over the past 3 months is slowly 16.9% Vacancy rate decreasing from 18.00% to 16.9%. The recruitment co-coordinator completed a review of the previous months disappointing conversion rate of applicants to posts offered which has resulted in ward managers at LGH prioritising recruitment. An LiA event took place on 9 th October lead by the LGH General Manager to discuss the skills mix paper and clinical support worker JD/trial at LGH. Rolling adverts have been reinstated on NHS jobs for qualified nursing posts and HCA’s with ward managers inviting all suitable nursing candidates to interview once shortlisted to speed up the process and reduce the risk of losing potential candidates. The next recruitment event at LGH is 26 th November for both substantive and bank support workers .

Monthly meetings with each of the ward managers now take place as per the recruitment and retention strate- 22.4% Turnover gy in the division with the HRBP for the CDS and the recruitment manager to review recruitment and turno- ver activity. Ward Managers have been encouraged to actively carry out exit interview discussions at point of receipt of resignation letter. The numbers of leavers in the division saw an increase this month from 2 in Sep- tember to 5 in October. Reasons for leaving are as follows 2 x Retirement 1 x ill health retirement x 2 volun- tary resignation . One of the retiring employees has returned undertaking a project working via trust bank.

ChYPS - Hants 18.3% Turnover A retention strategy is being finalised and will address the main reasons staff give for leaving and explore ChYPS - Kent 18.1% incentives, methods of engagement and development opportunities.

ChYPS - Hants 11.9% Vacancy Additional funding and the confirmation of the contract award to SPFT means that new posts are being recruit- ed to. This additional funding also accounts for a significant rise in agency spend to cover posts as soon as the money has been made available. A major recruitment campaign was launched in November and say more details can be found later in this report.

Corporate 20.6% Turnover The number of leavers (10) compared to starters (16) within the month of September is not an area for concern and the reasons for leavers is constantly being analysed for any reoccurring themes and trends.

Facilities & Estates 4.7% Sickness Sickness remains an area for concern in E&F. The HR Business Partner ran a workshop (20 October) for E&F Supervisors on ‘Managing Concerns Regarding Employees’ which covers Conduct, Capability & Sickness Absence. There are further workshops scheduled for the New Year which will hopefully assist in building capa- bilities and confidence in dealing with employee issue at the informal stage.

Prison 25% Turnover The number of leavers over the last 12 months has decreased but this has not yet been reflected in the turno- Services ver rate. The highest number of leavers were from Quarter 4 2014/15 when 7 staff left the Prison Service. This was predominantly driven by 5 leavers in December who TUPE transferred out of the Trust. It is anticipated this turnover rate will decrease next month.

7.97% Sickness It has been identified reporting errors have inflated this figure by 44 days which would have raised the sickness rate by approximately 2.5%. The Senior HR Advisor will address this with the relevant managers and make the relevant amendments. 20 FTE days being shown as lost to anxiety/depression, these can be attributed to a member of staff who quickly decided that the Prison environment was not the right one for him and he has since resigned.

10.1% Vacancy rate There are only 5 live vacancies on Stepchange. Interviews have been held for 3 of the vacancies. There are no hard to recruit areas within the Prison Service.

Learning Disabili- 19.9% Turnover Support Workers are the largest group of leavers in the Service from the PDCA. The review of Mayfield Court ties will consider the turnover / retention strategy as a key priority.

16.5% Vacancy rate There are 9 nursing vacancies with 6 proving to be hard to recruit month on month. A recruitment action plan is in place which may also need to be expanded to some of the 3 nursing roles. A major recruitment campaign was launched in November and say more details can be found later in this report.

Secure & 5.65% Sickness Although this sickness absence rate is still high, this is a reduction of 2% from last month and is the lowest it Forensic has been all year. A thorough review of sickness absence data will take place this month to identify how the Service can continue to reduce this figure.

16% Vacancy Rate There are 13 nursing vacancies at Hellingly which are hard to fill vacancies which is keeping the vacancy rate high. There is also headroom of 27 vacancies included in this figure.

MENTAL HEALTH ACT COMMITTEE SUMMARY REPORT

1.0 Executive Summary

The Committee received papers on:  Use of the Mental Health Act 1983 between 1 July 2015 – 30 September 2015, incorporating the use of Section 136 MHA report between 1 July 2015 – 30 September 2015  A summary of feedback from Associate Hospital Managers’ (AHM) feedback forms and Tribunal feedback forms  A report from care group service directors on MHA issues affecting respective areas of responsibilities

2.0 Introduction

This report informs the Board of MHA activity across the Trust, discussed at the MHA Committee on 12 November 2015.

3.0 Report

Use of the Mental Health Act 1983

The Committee received a detailed report on use of the MHA 1983 between 1 July 2015 – 30 September 2015 (hereinafter “Quarter 2”).

Quarter 2 reported:

 Use of Section 2 remained high and was used on 288 occasions, compared with 282 in the previous quarter. The use of Section 2 in this quarter is the highest section 2 activity seen by the Trust. Admissions under S2 accounted for the highest proportion of s2 activity actors the Trust (88%).

 In particular, Woodlands Unit for acute care accounted for 30% of the total section 2 activity in East Sussex. The Committee agreed the need to analyse the reasons for the peak in S2 activity at Woodlands and to present the data to CDS’s for review. In addition, the Committee supported the following action:

o Approach Research and Development colleagues for support to investigate the reasons for higher s2 activity in East Sussex. o Support from junior doctor colleagues to establish a research project to investigate clinical reasons for high s2 activity in East Sussex compared with other localities in the Trust.

o An open discussion with AMHP colleagues on whether training is supporting a use of s2 as an initial application, rather than s3. o The s2 data to be taken to and discussed at Quality Committee.

 The HSCIC’s annual report on ‘Inpatients formally detained in hospital under the MHA 1983 and patients subject to supervised community treatment’ in England and Wales 2014-15 was published end of October 2015. Annual figures from across England and Wales demonstrate a 22.3% increase in the use of s2 across the Country, whilst the trust has seen a rise of 5.6%.

 The Committee was pleased to receive detailed and comprehensive data on use of Section 136 around the Trust and the outcomes. There were, in total, 285 detentions under section 136 during the reporting period relating to 256 people (42 admitted to and remaining in Police custody, 234 into Hospital places of safety and 9 transfers between the two). This signifies a rise of 8% on the previous quarter, but a significant fall on the same period in 2014. The Committee was advised that the Trust is ahead of plan to reduce use of s136 by 50% in two years.

 The Committee was presented with data on MHA breaches in quarter 2 (11), the majority pertaining to use of s5(2). The Committee agreed the need for additional training for doctors on use of s5(2), supported by the Executive Medical Director.

AHM Feedback reports – Key themes

In the last quarter, feedback reports from both the AHMs and the Tribunal were received; a detailed report was received by the MHA Committee. The AHMs and Tribunal gave feedback on a variety of issues. In the last quarter, 45 feedback forms were received from the Tribunal, and 43 from the Associate Hospital Managers. A significant amount of good practice was observed relating to the quality of the reports and quality of evidence provided by the patient’s care team and knowledge of the patient. Good practice and any required improvements in practice has been reported to the relevant care group director or resolved immediately where possible. In particular the Committee was pleased to note the extremely positive feedback for staff at the Selden Centre who supported a patient through a Section 3 renewal hearing.

Issues reported centred around the detail of the report and repetition within and between reports. The Committee was assured that the current report templates reflect the Tribunal requirements as set out in the Practice Direction. An issue fed back by AHM colleagues around factual inaccuracy of a medical report was discussed and the Committee agreed further investigation to be conducted outside of the meeting into this matter.

The Committee discussed patient representation at AHM hearings, particularly where the panel are informed that the patient lacks capacity to make decisions about the hearing. The Committee asked the MHA Services team to explore the options for providing the panel with more information on how the patient has been supported to access advocacy services. This item will be tabled again at the next Committee meeting.

CQC Report

There have been seven MHA CQC inspections during the quarter. The Committee was advised that the number of MHA Monitoring visits has now increased to pre-wave inspection numbers this quarter. There was a noted improvement in Consent to Treatment issues raised and good practice in the area was highlighted in Coral ward, Langley Green Hospital. However, broader issues remain relating to patient participation in care planning, evidencing discharge planning, copies of section 17 leave forms being given to patients, and the recording of advance decisions.

The Committee discussed sharing positive practice. In particular the LD service informed the Committee of tools used that support patients to understand and be involved in their care. The Committee discussed establishing a knowledge hub to share information, materials and good practice.

MHA Committee Terms of Reference

The Committee reviewed the terms of reference and agreed the following amendments:

 Update job titles of permanent members of the Committee  Remove the need for a Non Executive Director Deputy Chair  Remove the need for two Non Executive Directors to attend Committee.

Revised terms to be circulated to the Committee for approval.

Board Assurance Framework

SUMMARY & PURPOSE

Version 3 of the Board Assurance Framework (BAF) is presented to the Board of Directors for consideration. In addition to the board, the Audit Committee reviews the BAF at least twice a year.

The Trust’s internal auditors regularly review the BAF and its contents and recommend improvements. Attached as appendix 1, for the board’s information, is a summary of current recommendations.

Over the last quarter, work has been undertaken to further strengthen the BAF and respond to internal audit’s recommendations. As a result of this work, and attached for the Board’s consideration, is an example of a new summary of “Strong Assurance Mapping”.

One of the Trust’s current extreme risks has been used to populate the example for consideration. The board is asked to consider receiving at each meeting such a summary table for each of the current extreme risks. In this way, a clear line of sight to extreme risk is established at all board meetings, and assurance can be tested in relation to the mitigation in place. Movement of each extreme risk could also be easily tracked.

LINK TO ANNUAL PLAN

The BAF is set out against the annual plan’s headings

ACTION REQUIRED BY BOARD MEMBERS

The Board is asked to consider whether the content of the BAF is accurate. Board members are also asked to comment on the proposed improvement to reporting on extreme risks.

Assignment Opinion Issued Clinical Information Systems Project Management Amber/ Green Cost Improvement Planning - Design & Application Amber / Red - Effectiveness Red

The Committee noted that the Cost Improvement Report had already been discussed in detail at the October Finance and Investment Committee therefore the Committee summarised the key outcomes it was anticipating arising from the findings of the report. These were:

(i) Evidence of robust accountability and project management in the delivery of cost saving measures for the remainder of 2015/16 financial year. (ii) Evidence of effective turnaround of the weakest performing Care Delivery Services; and (iii) Clearly defined lines of accountability and performance management in the financial plans for 2016/17. (iv) It was agreed that the re-audit of these areas would take place in the last quarter of this financial year, with the anticipation that it would provide evidence of improvement of the Trust’s effective use of resources. (v) The Internal Auditors also advised that they had recently provided the Trust with some benchmarking data from all of their mental health clients. It was agreed that the Internal Auditors would organise a forum inviting the mental health trusts to share their ideas for efficiency savings programmes.

The Committee noted the comment from the Internal Auditors that they were pleased to give the amber / green opinion for the Clinical Information Systems Project Management audit, as it demonstrated that the Trust had made a significant improvement in this area.

The Committee also discussed the request from the Council of Governors (CoG) to audit the Trust’s provision of occupational therapy in its in-patient services. The Internal Auditors confirmed that they would be happy to support this work and have appropriate skills within their team to perform the audit.

Local Counter Fraud Service (LCFS) – the Committee received an update on the progress being made to deliver the LCFS plan for 2015/16. Proactive work has included monthly meetings between Finance and Human Resources, Fraud and Bribery awareness training, a local proactive exercise to review losses and compensation claims, participation in the National Fraud Initiative and a policy review of the Trust’s IT & Information Security and Travel Costs Reimbursement policies, providing feedback on the strengthen the policies and associated processes.

The Trust’s LCFS Manager also updated the Committee on the national concern regarding cyber fraud. It was noted that a particular case in the NHS had been highlighted to the Trust IT department and LCFS will be meeting with them to discuss how to mitigate against these type of risks.

The LCFS report also included details of the progress being made on reactive cases, with no new referrals received since the last meeting. 10 cases were carried forward, of which 5 of these have since been closed, with the final reports due to be issued imminently. The Committee also reviewed the newly developed Counter Fraud Recommendation Tracker.

Risk Register Summary – Top 5 Risks by Division The Committee were informed that the Quality Committee regularly receive an update from each Clinical and Service Director of the Care Delivery Services (CDSs) setting out the top risks for their service. However, the Audit Committee considered how they could seek assurance that controls and mitigations are in place to address the main risks in the CDSs. It was agreed to ask the internal and external auditors to assist with this work, in ensure that a reporting mechanism is in place in the near future.

Summary from the Executive Assurance Committee – the Committee received an update from the Executive Assurance meeting held in October, noting that the key items on the agenda were progress against CQC Compliance actions, delayed transfers of care, the quarter 2 financial position and development of the Care Delivery Services. The Committee noted that the Executive Assurance Committee was proving to be a very useful forum and provided the Committee with assurance that the Executive Team had sight of the key issues in the Trust. Compliance Summary - the Committee received an update on compliance statistics, noting that the latest report showed a similar position to that previously reported with a high level of non- purchase order activity and no reduction in the number of salary overpayments. The Committee requested that given these on-going concerns that a much more wide ranging financial compliance

report for each Care Delivery Service and Corporate Service is presented at the next Committee meeting.

Preparation for the Committee’s annual Self-Assessment Survey - The Committee reviewed the draft questions for the annual Audit Committee Self-Assessment survey and it was agreed that the questions and format used for the previous year would be used for the 2015 survey.
