Links The Health and Social Care Act 2012 Considerations, Implications and Risks (e.g. financial, legal etc and appraisal of alternative options) The key risks associated with the subject of these papers are risks associated with: - stewardship, i.e. investments in estates that may transfer back to the Secretary of State - uncertainty of how the Secretary of State would decide to permit the sale of a property; - potentially receiving the properties on 1 April 2013 irrespective of whether a Trust Board approval is given or a Monitor final risk rating is given. Involvement / Consultation Council of Governors gave unanimous approval on 14 December 2012 for the transfer of stewardship for the proposed assets from the PCTs to the Trust. The Trust Board approved the proposal on 28 November 2012 subject to 4 caveats. Impact Assessment A financial impact assessment was considered at the 28 November 2012 Trust Board meeting. Implementation Plan We are currently waiting for the final transfer terms from the Department of Health (at the time of writing). C:\Documents and Settings\leslford\Local Settings\Temporary Internet Files\Content.Outlook\7QUGTCHN\Appendix C - 1 Trust Board 27 Mar 2013 - PCT Estates Transfer - Frontis page.docx Monitor final risk rating is yet to be received. This is delayed due to the absence of the final transfer terms for review. Findings / Conclusion / Options There are significant matters arising since the November 2012 Trust Board meeting to consider as follows: • potential transfer on 1 April 2013 by statute without Trust Board approval or Monitor final risk rating; • properties allowed to transfer back to Secretary of State by 1 October 2013 if “not obtained necessary approvals or final risk rating from Monitor”; • Draft transfer terms have no clarity on how the Secretary of State would decide to permit the sale of a property; • Monitor gave a Governance risk rating of ‘Red’ at Q3 compared to the ‘Amber Green’ position in the indicative risk rating for the transaction; • Uncertainty over VAT status which may increase rent charges if properties transferred to NHS Property Services Limited; Action(s) requested of the Board The Board is therefore asked to note the paper and delay its decision regards accepting the stewardship of the proposed properties from NHS Bournemouth and Poole and NHS Dorset until the earlier of: (a) clarity received regards the Secretary of State’s decision to permit a property sale; (b) 25 September 2013 (the Trust Board meeting prior to the deadline of 1 October 2013); Copy of Full Report (embed) Microsoft Word 97 - 2003 Document C:\Documents and Settings\leslford\Local Settings\Temporary Internet Files\Content.Outlook\7QUGTCHN\Appendix C - 2 Trust Board 27 Mar 2013 - PCT Estates Transfer - Frontis page.docx DORSET HEALTHCARE UNIVERSITY NHS FOUNDATION TRUST TRUST BOARD MEETING 27 MARCH 2013 PCT ESTATES TRANSFER 1. Background 1.1 The Trust Board at its 28 November 2012 meeting unanimously voted to accept stewardship for the proposed capital assets transfer from NHS Bournemouth and Poole and NHS Dorset subject to the following 4 caveats: • Phase one Environmental Risk Assessments at one hospital; • Confirmation of insurance cover; • Approval by the Council of Governors; • Final Risk Assessment from Monitor. 1.2 A summary of the key points and reasons considered for this transaction are: • We will have control over the properties which we already use to provide services. It will be easier to change, adapt, refurbish the properties to improve services and patient care without asking permission from a third party. We will have greater control to prioritise any property work and timing of these works to suit our needs without delays or refusal from a third party; • We will have opportunities to review premises across Dorset to optimise the use of these places and potentially to reduce running costs; • We will benefit by 50% of any profit if the properties are sold. 50% will be retained by the Secretary of State should any of the properties be sold. The Trust would retain 100% of any disposals’ proceeds up to the level when surplus profit sharing would apply; • We would retain greater control over existing and potential competitors being able to lease space in any under utilised areas of the estate. • If we do not accept these properties, we will remain a tenant with a lease and will be subject to future rent increases. We will have to deal with a landlord that is yet to be fully established - the NHS Property Services Limited (NHS PSL); • Future rent increases are likely as NHS PSL will not have a separate funding stream and must look to cover its costs with income earned from the properties it manages. 1.3 This paper: • Provides an update to the 4 caveats above; • Brings any significant matters arising since the 28 November 2012 to the attention to the Trust Board; • Legal advice on final terms of transfer; • Asks for Trust Board decision.
