It was noted that Actions 5 and 6 would be reported to the Trust Board meeting in July. Action 4 was noted as complete and would be reported under Item 16 (Estates Strategy). 44/06/15 Chief Executive Report The Board had received a written report of the main business conducted by the Senior Leadership Team in June 2015. Robert Woolley provided a verbal update on the following recent developments affecting UH Bristol. There had been several recent national announcements in relation to controlling spend in the health service, particularly around efficiencies in procurement and agency staff. There had also been interest from the Department of Health in the level of pay of very senior managers, in response to which, the Trust Board’s Remuneration and Nomination Committee would reviewing its own policies. Monitor had restored the Trust’s Governance Risk Rating to Green following a significant period in which the Trust had been under review. Monitor confirmed that they had received a sufficient level of assurance in line with the Trust’s recovery trajectories. NHS England had announced changes to the Referral to Treatment Time (RTT) targets that Trusts were expected to achieve, effectively withdrawing both the admitted and the non- admitted RTT target. The aim would be to focus attention on a patient’s right within the NHS Constitution to receive treatment within 18 weeks from referral, as it had been judged that other targets had distorted the focus. In response to a query from Clive Hamilton, Robert advised that while Monitor would no longer hold the Trust to account in relation to the targets, there would be little change in practice, as the Trust would still maintain its focus on achieving both the admitted and non-admitted targets as stages in the 18-week pathway. NHS England had invited organisations and partnerships to apply to become ‘vanguard’ sites under the 5-Year Forward View programme. Vanguard sites would lead the development of new care delivery models at a local level. Commissioners had been seeking to express an interest in a vanguard proposition for urgent and emergency care services for Bristol, North Somerset, Somerset and South Gloucestershire. The Trust has also considered submission of an expression of interest jointly with North Bristol Trust in July in a further Vanguard programme to sustain and improve local acute care. This would consider how local services could be aligned and explore the potential for sharing of support functions, or joint working 2 4 around specialist services. Reports of the progress of these initiatives would be received at a future meeting. Robert brought to the Board’s attention the positive news that UH Bristol had won a CHKS top hospital award. The redevelopment of the Bristol Royal Infirmary and the Bristol Haematology and Oncology Centre (BHOC) had won a major award from the Chartered Institute of Building and Construction Excellence South West as building project of the year. Also, BHOC had been designated one of 17 centres to take forward a new radiotherapy programme by NHS England. The Independent Review of Congenital Children’s Heart Services in Bristol had entered a new phase. Clinical experts had been recruited, clinical reviews had taken place, and the Care Quality Commission had implemented a case note review in parallel. Evidence sessions had commenced, following which the Review would also gather the views of families and children who had used the service. Jill Youds referred to the Senior Leadership Team’s consideration of the revised policy for the managements of external visits, inspections and accreditations and its new policy for the management and co-ordination of responses to national reviews and reports. Debbie Henderson clarified that these policies related primarily to processes and that the Trust Board would receive a register of corporate action plans on a bi-annual basis. It was: RESOLVED: • That the Board receive the report from the Chief Executive 45/06/15 Patient Experience Story Carolyn Mills introduced the Patient Story which focussed on the personal experience of a member of Trust staff who had been admitted to the Bristol Royal Infirmary for elective surgery.
