But despite two Committee reports on the underperformance of the Trust, the Committee is not convinced that progress is being made and remains unhappy with unscheduled care provision. The Trust has undergone a transformational change in recent years that has gone some way to modernising the delivery of pre-hospital care in Wales but further improvement is still needed. The Committee is concerned that targets designed to ensure a prompt response to emergency 999 calls are not being met consistently and at times, performance falls well below the required level. The Committee is also concerned that performance has been adversely affected by the Trust’s efforts to make efficiency savings. Further concerns relate to the bullying culture evident in the Trust which is undermining the achievements of staff and must be addressed as a priority. But the Ambulance service does not work in isolation. Lengthy delays to handovers at accident and emergency units can mean that paramedics are queuing with patients in corridors and unavailable to answer 999 calls. For the patient in an A&E Department a lengthy wait is unacceptable. For the patient in the community awaiting a response to a 999 call, the situation could be fatal. It is of the utmost importance that the NHS in Wales works to improve the process from the ‘front door’ to the ‘back’, with joined up working and intelligent systems that have both the capacity and the tenacity to enable staff to provide first class care. This report examines the pre-hospital care provided by the Welsh Ambulance Services NHS Trust and the handover process when paramedics transfer the care of a patient to hospital staff. The Committee has previously made recommendations about delayed transfers of care which occur when patients are discharged from hospital, and will be examining other aspects of the patient journey in future reports. It is hoped that the Welsh Assembly Government will take the opportunity of the forthcoming re-organisation of the NHS to modernise the delivery of care across the whole system. However, the re-organisation should not be seen as the solution in itself and work on improving the performance of the Wales Ambulance Service NHS Trust must be carried out in earnest. I would like to thank the witnesses who gave evidence to this inquiry. The passion and dedication of those individuals was apparent throughout and the Committee is grateful for their time and efforts. Jonathan Morgan, Chair, Audit Committee 4 Introduction 1. The Welsh Ambulance Service NHS Trust is the frontline provider of pre- hospital unscheduled care in Wales. The all Wales service responds to emergency 999 calls in order to save lives and provide emergency care to patients. The Audit Committee commends the dedication and hard work of all staff of the ambulance service who strive each day to ensure that the patients they see receive the care they need. 2. However, concerns regarding the Welsh Ambulance Service NHS Trust have been ongoing for sometime. Accusations of bullying and poor morale were coupled with poor performance against the Trusts performance targets. In times of particular pressure, the already overstretched service was brought close to breaking point with reports of ambulances queuing outside emergency departments and patients waiting for unacceptably long periods for an emergency response. 3. In July 2006, the National Assembly for Wales voted for an inquiry into ambulance services in Wales, to be led by the Auditor General for Wales. The Auditor General for Wales published his report on the inquiry in December 2006. The inquiry concluded that there were longstanding and severe problems throughout the Welsh Ambulance Service NHS Trust. In March 2007, the predecessor Audit Committee reported on its own investigation into the issues. 4. In June 2008, the Auditor General for Wales reported on his follow up review into the Ambulance Services in Wales. That review found that although there was evidence of positive improvements in the Trust since December 2006, some difficult problems remained. These problems were judged by the Wales Audit Office as symptomatic of the process of transformational change. The Audit Committee report of October 2008 reflected this view and recognised that although there was a need to make rapid and sustained progress, it would take time to deal with some of the organisational and systemic challenges that faced the Trust. 5. In December 2008, the Welsh Assembly Government responded to the Audit Committee report. The Audit Committee considered the response in January 2009 and sought advice from the Auditor General for Wales.1 The Committee was concerned that progress was not being made quickly enough with regard to the issues highlighted in its earlier reports. It decided to seek further evidence from Paul Williams, Director-General of Health and Social Services and Accounting Officer in the Welsh government, and Alan Murray, Chief Executive of the Welsh Ambulance Services NHS Trust. 6. The Auditor General for Wales issued his report ‘Ambulance Services in Wales – further update to the National Assembly for Wales’ Audit 1 AC(3)-01-09 (p2), (p3) 5 Committee’ ahead of the Audit Committee meeting on 11 March 2009, in which Paul Williams and Alan Murray gave evidence to the Committee. 7. On 23 April, the Auditor General for Wales published his report ‘Unscheduled Care – patient handovers at hospital emergency departments’. 8. Following consideration of the report on handovers,2 the Audit Committee launched an inquiry into ambulance services in Wales in order to examine the wider issues effecting performance of the trust. 9. The Committee took oral evidence from: 16 March 2009 • Alan Murray, Chief Executive, Welsh Ambulance Service NHS Trust • Tim Woodhead, Director of Finance, Welsh Ambulance Service NHS Trust • Paul Williams, Director-General of Health and Social Services, Welsh Assembly Government • Simon Dean, Director of Service Delivery and Performance Management, Welsh Assembly Government 4 June 2009 • Dave Galligan, Head of Health, Unison Wales • Tina Donnelly, Director, Royal College of Nursing • Andrew Evans, Professional Officer, Royal College of Nursing • Professor Malcolm Woollard, Chair of the College of Paramedics 18 June 2008 • Jon Falcus, Directorate General Manager, Wrexham Maelor Hospital • Judith Rees, Deputy Directorate General Manager, Wrexham Maelor Hospital • Meredith Gardner, Directorate Manager, University Hospital of Wales • Jennie Palmer, Senior Team Leader Nurse, Emergency Unit, University Hospital of Wales • Alan Murray, Chief Executive, Welsh Ambulance Service NHS Trust • Tim Woodhead, Director of Finance, Welsh Ambulance Service NHS Trust 2 AC(3)-06-09 (p2) 6 • Paul Williams, Head of Health and Social Services, Welsh Assembly Government • Simon Dean, Director of Service Delivery and Performance Management, Welsh Assembly Government 10. Written evidence was also received from Professor Malcolm Woollard and Dave Galligan. 7 The eight minute standard 11.

  • Piloting Data Linkage in a Prospective Cohort Study of a GP Referral Scheme to Avoid Unnecessary Emergency Department Conveyance Joanna M
    Blodgett et al. BMC Emergency Medicine (2020) 20:48 https://doi.org/10.1186/s12873-020-00343-w RESEARCH ARTICLE Open Access Piloting data linkage in a prospective cohort study of a GP referral scheme to avoid unnecessary emergency department conveyance Joanna M. Blodgett1,2* , Duncan J. Robertson2,3, David Ratcliffe2,4,5 and Kenneth Rockwood6 Abstract Background: UK Ambulance services are under pressure to safely stream appropriate patients away from the Emergency Department (ED). Even so, there has been little evaluation of patient outcomes. We investigated differences between patients who are conveyed directly to ED after calling 999 and those referred by an ambulance crew to a novel GP referral scheme. Methods: This was a prospective study comparing patients from two cohorts, one conveyed directly to the ED (n = 4219) and the other referred to a GP by the on-scene paramedic (n = 321). To compare differences in patient outcomes, we include follow-up data of a smaller subset of each cohort (up to n = 150 in each) including hospital admission, history of long-term illness, previous ED attendance, length of stay, hospital investigations, internal transfers, 30-day re-admission and 10-month mortality. Results: Older individuals, females, and those with minor incidents were more likely to be referred to a GP than conveyed directly to ED. Of those patients referred to the GP, only 22.4% presented at ED within 30 days. These patients were more likely to be admitted then than were those initially conveyed directly to ED (59% vs 31%). Those conveyed to ED had a higher risk of death compared to those who were referred to the GP (HR: 2.59; 95% CI 1.14–5.89), however when analyses were restricted to those who presented at ED within 30 days, there was no difference in mortality risk (HR: 1.45; 95% CI 0.58–3.65).

  • Developing the Scrutiny of NHS Services
    Page 239 Agenda Item 12 SCRUTINY COMMISSION : 18 JUNE 2003 OVERVIEW AND SCRUTINY OF THE HEALTH SERVICE REPORT OF THE CHIEF EXECUTIVE PURPOSE 1 The purpose of this report is to set out the current position with regard to the implementation of the provisions in the Health and Social Care Act 2001 enabling Social Services Authorities to scrutinise the actions of NHS bodies. The item has been placed on the agenda at the request of Mr S Galton, CC. BACKGROUND Health Bodies 2 It is important at the outset of this report to identify the health bodies with responsibility for strategic issues and the delivery of services to the area of Leicestershire. Clearly, over time the number of such bodies and their responsibilities may change. Thus, new Care Trusts may be created from existing partnership arrangements, as has been the case with the development of Primary Care Trusts from Primary Care Groups over recent years. In Leicestershire the relevant health bodies are as follows: • Leicestershire, Northamptonshire and Rutland Strategic Health Authority • University Hospitals of Leicester NHS Trust • Leicestershire Partnership NHS Trust • East Midlands Ambulance Services NHS Trust • Eastern Leicester PCT • Leicester City West PCT • Melton, Rutland and Harborough PCT • Hinckley and Bosworth PCT • Charnwood and North West Leicestershire PCT • South Leicestershire PCT DM/health scrutiny Page 240 In addition, many residents of Leicestershire receive health services from NHS bodies based in other Social Services authority areas : examples are hospitals in Kettering, Northampton, Nuneaton, Coventry, Burton, Derby, Nottingham and Grantham. The extent to which members of authorities in Leicestershire may be involved in scrutiny of these bodies will depend on arrangements for scrutiny made elsewhere and is not therefore discussed further in this report.
