3.0 – Adult Audiology Ms Pascoe advised that Adult Audiology was a different specification and would require a new tender. 3.0 - Ealing Council and Public Health Transition Ms Beauchannon advised that a letter was almost ready to go to GPs and that she will confirm if the LES budget is ringfenced. 4.5 NHS Ealing Enhanced Services Review Explanation of payment breakdown/Exeter system It was noted that a new electronic form has been launched which will facilitate the smooth processing of claims. Claims will be processed through Open Exeter, which will allow for practises to receive an explanation of the payment breakdown. Ms Horne and Ms Murfitt will arrange for an officer to attend the next meeting who can advise further. Ms Horne advised that she can circulate a paper on processes and that she will add as an action required for enhanced services. Ms Horne will write to all practices confirming that all payments are now up to date. She asked to be informed if there are any challenges.

4.0 Primary Care Development Update
4.1 Outer North West London Board Financial Position The NHS North West London Cluster Board – Month 6 Finance Report dated 5 November 2012 was noted. The transfer of £15m of resource on a repayable basis from Brent PCT to Hillingdon PCT was noted. North West London Trust was showing a negative variance against its deficit plan. Dr Jenkins asked that the Ealing CCG specific papers be supplied in future rather than the NHS NWL position, ideally an A4 overview of NWL together with the Ealing CCG position.
JM
4.2 Procurement Nursing Home Tender Ms Pascoe advised that consultation had taken place. The outcome of the tender was scheduled for April 2013. Ms Murfitt and Ms Pascoe advised that the intention was that all patients would move under the care of the successful winner of the tender. However, patient choice would be accounted for. The system would be two tier, in that the care for any patient that declined to move to the new provider would be able to stay with their GP and the care would be funded under the GMS contract. The LMC expressed concern that in this scenario there would be pressure on GPs to provide an extended service for a GMS price. Ms Murfitt noted those concerns but advised that the intention was to keep such cases to a minimum.

4.3 111 Service – Update
LW LMCs tabled a paper and proposed LES in relation to CMC Coordinate My Care. Ms Michaels asked the Committee to note the recommendation from LW LMCs to GPs that they should sign up to the draft LES produced by Londonwide LMC for Coordinate My Care (CMC) before taking on CMC work and that this LES is being submitted to borough LMCs. The LW LMC was to circulate draft LES concerning CMC to LMC members. Dr Shanker was to provide 111 lead names to Andy Michaels. Dr Shanker advised that 111 was viewed as a more memorable number than NHS Direct. Training and governance were seen as key. Four pilots had taken place. Members expressed concern that the current call logs sent to practices were very long and lacked clarity on outcomes/triage. Dr Shanker advised that 111 had looked to address this issue and that summaries would be provided by 111 to practices by mailshot. Members saw the setting of expectations in terms of when to see your GP as important. It was noted that at launch, GP appointment bookings could not be made through 111, but that functionality could be developed. Members expressed concern regarding a possible conflict of interest between Harmoni providing both 111 and out of hours services.

4.4 Premises Improvement Grants Ms Murfitt advised that she was confident that there was money remaining in the improvement grants fund, although it was believed to be less than 100k. She was confident that another panel would be held. She advised that each GP would either have received a letter that they were successful, unsuccessful or that they would need to provide more information. Dr Naish reported that he had attended the Improvement Grant decision panel meetings for Ealing, Hounslow, Hammersmith & Fulham (H&F) and Kensington, Chelsea & Westminster (KCW). He outlined that Ealing and Hounslow had been allocated £300,000 each, even though there are fewer patients in Hounslow. Whereas, Kensington and Chelsea, Hammersmith and Fulham and Westminster had each been allocated £500,000. He commented that these areas were a third of the size of Ealing and that the funding level was five times more per patient. Dr Naish felt that Ealing’s allocation of improvement grant funding had not been equitable and transparent. He commented that the criteria to be eligible for funding in Ealing were particularly narrow. Hounslow, H&F and KCW had had looser eligibility criteria. A paper was to be submitted to the next cluster meeting setting out what

Anti-Coagulation LES proposed change for new Oral Anticoagulants (NOACs) Arjun Dhillon spoke to a tabled discussion document regarding Anti-Coagulation LES proposed change for new Oral Anticoagulants (NOACs). He advised that at its meeting on 25 October, the NWL Integrated Formulary New Drugs Panel removed rivaroxaban and dabigatran from the NWL ‘red list’ of drugs that hospital doctors should not ask GPs to prescribe; the drugs do not meet the criteria for inclusion on the list. Following discussion at the local Medicines Management Working Group (MMWG) and initial discussion with the anticoagulation LES providers, it was felt that the most effective way of ensuring an informed decision between the patient and the clinician was for initiation of these drugs to be in line with the current anticoagulant LES. The proposal specifically was to amend the LES to add the NOACs as an option for initiation, with the same remuneration as warfarin. These drugs then require minimal monitoring, after the initial 8 weeks of monitoring the patients will transfer back to the care of the registered GP. The tabled papers were an amalgam of paperwork that the medicines management team and the Anticoagulation group had suggested as the necessary information needed to make this decision and initiate the preferred NOAC together with standardised information back to the registered GP. It was agreed that a copy of the letter that went to hospitals should be sent to all GPs. The introduction of New Drugs into Ealing CCG Mr Dhillon spoke to a tabled discussion document regarding the introduction of New Drugs into Ealing CCG. The preferred option was to clearly define governance for the introduction of new drugs. A diagram representing a potential flow of how a new drug could be managed into the Ealing health economy was set out. Dr Jenkins felt that Enhanced service monitored and GP monitored needed to be in one combined box, as the patient needs to be under specialist care, not the GP doing monitoring separately. Dr Jenkins felt that it needed to be understood that it is the CCG that has the ultimate responsibility. Mr Dhillon advised that:- It is important that clear systems are defined so that Trust clinical staff and GPs are aware of the arrangements and they are implemented appropriately. As CCG Prescribing Lead he would seek to work with the LMC to agree this communication. The Criteria for assessing each drug needs to be agreed eg: safety, s/e,
AD/SP/AM

costs, training, resources required for monitoring, skill sets. He would seek to work with the LMC to ensure these criteria are robust and transparent. The standard for communication for initiating drugs needs to be agreed as part of the transition of a new drug from one pathway to another. These could include: Indication, intended duration of therapy, previous drugs used, extent of patient counselling and consent, monitoring required, indication for GP or specialist review. He would seek to work with the LMC to establish these standards, communicate them to GPs and to monitor them. There needs to be clear documentation with appropriate patient information explaining arrangements to patients and/or carers. This was an existing role of the medicines management team and should continue regardless. If agreed, as CCG Prescribing Lead he would like to use denosumab as an example of how this process could work. Shared Care/Near Patient Testing LES It was agreed that shared care should be part of the LES. Dr Parmar would bring a paper to a future meeting.
MP
4.6 QOF
It was noted that QOF was being replaced by QMAS from July 2013.
4.7 GP Clinical System Consultation (Robert McClaren) Dr McClaren advised that there were a number of different GP Clinical Systems in use and that a large number of GPs wished to move to a new system. Options had been identified and practices had been consulted. An informal vote had been held and of the 49 practices that had voted, there was a clear majority in favour of moving to one system across Ealing. The options for one system were System One and EMISWEB. It was noted that practises could stay with whichever system they preferred as all systems would be supported, but that those practices not on the main system would not receive enhanced support. It was noted that Hounslow had experienced confidentiality issues with System One and that it operated under a consent model. It was noted that System One is a single record system and that EMISWEB is a multi record system. A paper should be brought together that sets out the pros and cons of the two systems being considered. The paper should be circulated to all GPs.
FF/RM
4.8 Ealing Council and Public Health Transition Public Health Invoicing Process Ms Murfitt would refer back the need for a monthly and quarterly facility.
JM
4.9 OPD Discharge Policies in Local Hospitals Dr Jenkins queried the Did Not Attend (DNA) discharging process at Ealing Hospital Trust as he felt that GP’s workloads had increased. Examples were given of discharges after one missed appointment. It was understood that

Hillingdon Hospital discharge after two DNAs. Dr Parmar understood that the discharging process required a final clinical decision. It was noted that every hospital would have a DNA policy and that the issue with Ealing Hospital Trust might be the way the policy is being applied or the policy itself. Dr Jenkins felt that there was a need to investigate DNA policies across the country and that it was important to have clinical sign off of a DNA discharge.

4.10 Sub Fractionated heparin injection arrangements (for pre-op patients on warfarin) GPs need a letter confirming that GPs won’t be offering the clinical service or administrating the heparin injection.
AD
4.11 GP Validation Feedback Charles Parkes gave a verbal update on GP Validation feedback outlining the process followed and checks undertaken. Members advised that every month practices are presented with a data set and raise a number of queries, which are sent to Comm Support at Marylebone, but that no feedback is received. Members felt that it was important that feedback was sent to GPs on their feedback data.
5.0 CCG Update 5.1 Authorisation
6-8 week children health review checks It was agreed that a joint letter from NHS NWL and LMC should be sent to GPs reminding them that they need to return the yellow form to Child Health. Commissioning Support Unit (CSU) development Ms Murfitt advised that CSU development had been through the 2nd gateway and that KPIs are being developed. JM to share service specifications.

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
• The financial position for Ealing PCT improved this month with a reduction in the
year to date deficit to £541k, a reduction of £60k from last month. The month 07 islargely due to Acute overperformance (£3.8m) which is principally offset by
favourable positions on Prescribing (£0.5m) Community (£0.4M) and Primary Care
(£0.7m), use of 7/12th of the contingency (£1.7m).
• QIPP schemes are showing a £899k (9% of plan) adverse variance year to date.
Whilst Dental, Continuing Care and Prescribing schemes are delivering above planyear to date, this is offset by slippage on 11 of the 30 schemes. The most significant
variances remain due to delays in commencement of both the Referral Management
and ICES schemes which are set to deliver later than planned. A major componentof the shortfall is due to non -achievement of savings from the West London Mental
Health scheme, but we think we are close to achieving an agreement which will
provide a substantial benefit to the PCT but which does not achieve 100% of theinitial target.
• The overspend year to date on CCG delegated budgets is £947k and the related variance on QIPP totals £1,275k

� In order to understand the financial position of the PCT, it is important to distinguish
between recurrent ( underlying / run rate) and non-recurrent (one-off) income and expenditure items. The recurrent position determines on-going financial sustainability.
� The recurrent position as per the 12/13 plan, adjusted for major one-off items, is set out
below:
� The underlying position based on the in-year run-rate is being reviewed as part of the
work currently being undertaken on the forecast outturn.

SUMMARY OF YEAR TO DATE VARIANCES (1)
Acute Commissioning
In Cluster Contracts £1.6m unfavourable – Ealing, NWLHT and Imperial are block contracts; the pressure is focused on Royal Brompton ( £863k, possibly stabilising) and Hillingdon Hospitals (£464K,
trend deteriorating)
Out of Cluster Contracts £2.5 unfavourable – The largest variances are with UCLH (£1,059k) GOSH (£431k) and Guys (£317k).
Other Acute Commissioning £0.2m unfavourable – this has deteriorated in month, largely due to increased spend on high cost drugs..
Non acute commissioning
Joint working £0.1m favourable – includes overspending within Adult (£126k) and Children’s (£396k)
services offset by underspending in Continuing Care services (£636k).
Community Services £0.4m favourable – includes Ealing ICO, Urgent Care and other community services including budgets set aside for QIPP reinvestment – which are underspent year to date.
20
NHS Ealing 13
SUMMARY OF YEAR TO DATE VARIANCES (2)
Prescribing £516k favourable – GP Prescribing is £493k underspent offset by a net overspend on Enteral Feeds and Wound Dressing costs.
Primary Care £680k favourable – Dental, GP Medical and Pharmacy contracts are £967k, £60k and £12k underspent respectively, however Ophthalmic costs are £239k overspent.
Public Health £235k unfavourable - this is mainly due to a one off redundancy cost, however there is an on-going pressure within Sexual health services.
Corporate Services £124k unfavourable - the unbudgeted increase in charges from NWL cluster have been offset by under-spending across other areas of Corporate budgets.
Estates Services £199k favourable – this is mainly due to a reduction in the anticipated costs of PCT owned properties.
General Reserve/ Contingency £1,738k favourable – 7/12th of the Contingency budget has been phased in to the year to date position.

Over/Under Performance
Key areas of over/under performance Actions
Ealing Hospital NHS Trust
£654,830 Elective Excess Bed days over performance is caused by a peak in high LOS patients in July. There were 4 patients with 134, 127, 111, and 110 LOS costing £116k. Elective spells trend is declining.
Outpatient procedures over performed by £166. Theover performance is due to cardiology procedures,including ECG diagnostics. All other outpatientprocedures are below plan. Obstetrics ante natal andpost natal investigations and Dermatologyphototherapy procedures are increasing but notcausing over performance.
Critical Care variance is reducing – long LOS patients now discharged.
Outpatients, both New and Follow-up attendancesover performed with variances totaling £100k. Thisprimarily reflects the change made to how Cardiologyoutpatients are allocated to PODs. Underlying activitylevels are unchanged from M5. RFS QIPP scheme tostart in November.
Day Cases declining trend continues unabated.
• Trust have been challenged on CC codingissue re decrease in single organ andincrease in two & three organ HRGs
• Trust have been challenged on anti-coagulation over performance, and the slowQIPP progress.
• Trust have been challenged on slow QIPPprogress with diabetes community clinics.
• Follow-up on pathways associated withoutpatient challenges for multiple same dayattendances, and non pre-bookedattendances.
• The Challenge programme, similar to Q1 isbeing pursued. Challenge values in Q2 aresimilar to Q1.
• PPwT audit to be conducted in December.

Activity Management Plan:The contact agreement with THHFT provides for an activity management plan. It complemented QIPP. It is intended
that the implementation will have an impact on activity from 1 January. • Undertake analysis to verify if conversion rates are changing or not • Benchmark intervention rates • Investigate whether activity was previously reported as outpatient procedures and verify if it qualifies as a day case
procedure.• Understand whether THH can bring activity back to planned levels taking into account the impact on the 18 week
RRT• Improve understanding of the longer term impact of the bowel and lung screening programmes• Scrutinise referral data to ascertain drivers of growth.• Gain a thorough understanding of patient pathways and the implications for supply generated demand• Understand the causes of increased activity for the HRG All Patients older than 69 years with a Mental Health

WMUH £90k, mitigated to £64k
Summary: Over performance from Ealing patients at WMUH has reduced from £126k last month to £90k in month 6. Whilst activity growth is up 12%; cost is just 2.2% over plan.
Main areas of over performance include
• Non Elective Inpatients over performed by £233k (inclusive of credit for activity above the threshold) due to activity being 56% higher than plan. The main HRG chapters over performing are: Digestive £89k; MSK £65k; and Respiratory £64k
• Outpatients first appointments have over performed by £94k and follow ups by £41k year to date.
• Podiatry specialty appears to over perform by £115k whilst general surgery is down -£99k. This is because commissioners asked the Trust to split out podiatry recording from gen surgery.
• Other OP specialties over performing include Obstetrics £26k; GUM £17k; and Respiratory £15k.
• A&E over performed by £77k
• High Cost Drugs by £16k
• Non elective, non-emergency admissions under performed by -£164k; of which obstetrics admissions were down £79k; and nervous system down £69k
The following actions are being taken.
The CSU continues to challenge the Trust Emergency marginal rate threshold value.
NHS NWL has already secured credits and refunds of £265k for NHS Ealing through performance and efficiency metrics, other challenges and acute contract levers.
Recent negotiations on a capped contract for NHS Hounslow, between commissioners and WMUH, have led to a set of agreements to control activity during 2013-14.
There will be a reduced NEL baseline. Also greater transparency on outpatient clinic capacity, demand levels by specialty.
Supply side initiatives to control non-elective activity will benefit other affected CCGs including Ealing CCG.

RBH £740k, mitigated to £680k
Over performance at M6 includes an adverse movement of £35k from M5.
Non-electives are over performing against plan by £316k, a £15k movement.
RBH is the NWL Cardiac and Cystic Fibrosis tertiary centre. These activities make up most of the RBH activity and cost.
Both Cardiac Surgery and Cystic Fibrosis are over performing substantially.
NHS Ealing has seen a 75% increase in cardiac surgery activity between 2011-12 M1-5 and 2012-13 M1-5.
This is driving over performance in:
• Non-electives (including the “New” complex cardiac procedures, including implanting of ICD devices)
• Critical care (overperforming by £217k). There continues to be un-discharged CC patients with WIP over £300k, which are included in the forecast.
• ICD devices (over performing by £36k). This is a reduction on last month but this is due to only 1 ICD being charged for in month 6 against a plan of 2.
In turn, the NEL overperformance is starting to affect elective over performance, when cardiac surgery (particularly transplant) patients return for their “redos”
New, more stringent metrics from M4, including
• OP metrics will increase yield for full year. Projected yield for full year is £170k.
• ICD metric, which will cap over performance. Effect will not be known until later in the year.
• Non-GP referral metric started in M4. FY yield estimate is £30k.
Actions being taken.
• Audit of critical care HRG organ coding, and whether HDU criteria are being met. In progress, with final report due mid November. Financial value not yet estimable.
• PbR Challenge of critical care charging relating to HRG between ITU and HDU. Trust have conceded the challenge from October. Negotiations continue for back dating. Estimated affect of £50k.

PerformanceAreas of over performance Actions
• Electives are over plan by £100k (an in month movement of £20k)
• Outpatient activity slightly over performing, though mitigated by F:Fup ratio cap.
Together, these all drive overperformance in drugs and devices, which are over performing by £14k.
NHS NWL analysis shows that:
• Activity is very variable between months (relatively low volume, but high cost). Hence the big variance swings.
• NHS Ealing activity increase is driven by an RBH consultant who does sessions at EHT, and who is currently training consultants within EHT and therefore complex cases are being referred on to RBH.
FOT forecast has reduced from £1,561k to £1,411k. This is an effect of the extrapolation method of forecasting. The activity by month is very variable. The activity in month 6 was lower than the average of Month 1-5.
This is mainly down to a reduced level of activity in Month 6 on Non Elective activity.
The main movement in variance from M5 to M6 was the increase in WIP, mainly due to the long stay patient.
Forecast includes £200K contingency for winter pressures.
Cardiac procedure (HRG Chapter EA) trends show that since December 2011:
• Imperial activity has been declining
• Ealing activity has been declining
• RBH is showing an upturn.
• Work with Cardiac Network to ensure assessment criteria are consistently applied. This work is starting, and will have impact in 2013-14.
• Sector analysis of where cardiac surgery is being performed to assess whether activity should/could be performed at Trusts other than Imperial.
• Review of drugs and devices charges to verify accuracy.--

• The following graphs compare monthly activity levels in 2012/13 with 2011/12 and 2010/11. There may be differences to the financial variances due to:
• Activity slides do not take into account case-mix and the impact of contract levers e.g. outpatient follow-up ratios
• Non PbR spend areas such as Critical Care, Excluded Drugs & Devices, Direct Access, Renal and Other Exclusions are not reflected in the graphs. Accident and Emergency spend is also not reflected in the graphs.
• The following slides show actual activity changes across all providers for the first six months of this year compared to the same period last year:
– elective admissions decrease of 2.9%;
– emergency admissions increase of 5%;
– outpatients first attendances (GP referrals) decrease of 3.3%
– outpatients first attendances (all referrals) increase of 1.0%
– outpatients follow-up attendances (GP referrals) increase of 1.0%

BETTER PAYMENT PRACTICE CODE (BPPC)
Action Plan
NHS
Disputes are not always recorded. A reminder has
now been given to the NCA team to ensure they
record disputed invoices and these are now being
excluded from failing the 30 day target.
Non NHS
Some budget holders do not verify and authorise
invoices promptly. Finance Managers have been
asked to remind budget managers of the
importance of this during their regular meetings.
Closure project
There is a project underway to clear all creditors
ready for PCT closedown. This results in the BPPC
worsening as old invoices are being paid.

QIPP ANALYSIS
The majority of schemes are reported to be delivering to plan.
As at Month 7, the following schemes are over-delivering against the QIPP plans:- Productive community services (£256K YTD, £438K projected over-delivery at year- end)- Continuing Care services (£366K YTD, but only £50K favourable forecast at year-end)- Primary Care Prescribing ( £493K YTD, but breakeven at year-end)- Primary Care Dentistry ( £376K YTD, but only £30K at year-end).
For three of the four schemes the favourable YTD performance is not anticipated to continue through to the end of the year; whether this reflects too pessimistic forecasting or a sound assessment of risk will be looked at more closely for next months reporting.
Other comments on schemes:
Intermediate Care Service (Integrated Community Response) – the service is scaling up and is expected to be fully mobilised by early November and able to accept referrals from all GP practices in Ealing.
Urgent Care Pathway Redesign – the UCC at Ealing Hospital is at full benefits realisation stage
Pulmonary Rehabilitation - the tender has now been awarded and mobilisation is underway. The new service is expected to beaccept patients from 1st November 2012.
MSK pathway redesign – Full deployment of the new pathway is expected for early November 2012, but two months will beneeded to help clear the backlog; benefits realisation should flow substantially for quarter 4.
Productive Mental Health services – part of this saving will be made by closure of a WLMHT ward which is not unlikely to by achieved until February-March 2013. The remaining savings will result from removal of inappropriate workload from WLMHT. Work is currently underway with the Trust to review the patients of two pilot practices mapped into the first 2 Mental Health care clusters. To date £900K has been secured, leaving £600K at risk.
Referral Facilitation Service – implementation of the new service is progressing to plan in relation to training, IT development andpathway implementation. There is a delay in recruitment to the vacancies. Both the Service Manager and Lead Clinician have takenup their roles. Roll-out of IT across all practices is underway and due for completion at the end of November. This will allow some ofthe adverse YTD position to be recovered, but the scheme is not expected to achieve the whole of the planned saving this year.

NEXT STEPS TO 31/12
• Review the M7 position, including further work on understanding the reasons for budget variances
• Work with ACV to understand what challenges and mitigations possible to abate acute overspend, and to refine forecasts for year end.
• Update the forecast outturn and the impact of recovery actions as set out on slide 55
• Continue to seek full implementation of QIPP schemes and early introduction of 2013/14 schemes where achievable.
• Review the impact of all other risks and opportunities

The public health grant 13/14 and future years (until DH decides otherwise) is indeed ringfenced. The
LES is included in the LA's baseline funding - so is effectively also ringfenced. There is an nhs factsheet on this - i will dig out and circulate on Monday
thx

Sally Beauchannon has just come round to check if the 13/14 Public Health Grant would be ring
fenced and within that whether the Local Enhanced Services would be ringfenced.
I said I thought the overall grant would be but thought I would check. Not sure about the LES though.

Enhanced Services Commissioning Fact Sheet July 2012 Purpose
This fact sheet sets out the new commissioning arrangements for enhanced services from April 2013, including the transition of existing schemes. Background Enhanced services are currently commissioned through each of the primary medical care contracting vehicles (GMS, PMS, APMS) and can be commissioned from a range of other service providers (e.g. community pharmacies).
They currently comprise:
Local enhanced services (LESs) schemes agreed by PCTs in response to local needs and priorities, sometimes adopting national service specifications.
Directed enhanced services (DESs) - schemes that PCTs are required to establish or to offer contractors the opportunity to provide, linked to national priorities and agreements.
As with any services, PCTs have always been expected to follow procurement guidelines when commissioning enhanced services to ensure decisions are on the basis of quality and value for money and, where possible, support patients in making choices. So LESs should only have been commissioned exclusively from general practice where no other provider was appropriate. New commissioning arrangements
T will be responsible from April 2013 for commissioning services under the GP contract. It will operate as a single organisation with a single operating model, replacing 151 ways of doing business. While the Board will retain the ability to commission LESs through the GP contract, it is unlikely to use this function since the intention is that clinical commissioning groups (CCGs) should decide how best to use local resources to invest in community-based services that go beyond the scope of the GP contract.
Local authorities will be responsible, from April 2013, for taking the lead in improving the health of local communities. This will include most of the health promotion and public health services currently commissioned as LESs.
81
National arrangements for enhanced services The Board will commission some enhanced services nationally, equivalent to DESs. Where it is agreed that current DESs should roll forward to 2013/14, the Board will become responsible for them. The Board may devolve to CCGs the responsibility for managing some of these enhanced services. National directions
1 currently cover eight DES schemes:
childhood immunisation influenza and pneumococcal
violent patients minor surgery
extended access alcohol reduction
health checks for people with learning disabilities
patient participation.
PCTs will need to plan for these to be carried over to the Board for 2013/14, subject to any changes arising from GP contract negotiations in relation to time-limited DESs and any confirmed plans to devolve responsibility for management to CCGs. CCG commissioning arrangements CCGs will be free to commission a wide range of community-based services funded from their overall budgets. With the exception of any local improvement schemes commissioned on behalf of the Board (see below) and proposed transitional arrangements for current LESs (see below), they will commission these services through the NHS standard contract. Like PCTs, CCGs will need to decide whether these services could be delivered by a number of potential providers (which may include general practice) or whether they could only be provided by general practice. As now, for services that can be delivered by a number of potential providers, CCGs will need to decide whether to undertake competitive procurements to identify a single provider (or limited group of providers) or whether to allow patients to choose from a range of qualified providers by using the Any Qualified Provider route. As now, for services for which there are no other possible providers, for instance because they require list-based primary medical care, or for services of a minimal value, CCGs will be able to commission services through single tender from GP practices.
Whilst CCGs will have the power to contract directly for most services, they will not have direct powers to pay for improvements in the quality of services provided under the GP contract. We envisage that the Board will, however, give delegated powers
provide where appropriate:
incentives for improvements in the quality of primary medical care services
funding to support activities such as clinical audit and peer review
1 http://www.dh.gov.uk/en/Healthcare/Primarycare/PMC/Enhanced/index.htm
82
We envisage that any such local improvement schemes should be agreed between the CCG and the Local Area Team of the NHSCB. Local Authority commissioning arrangements Local Authorities will be responsible for commissioning services to meet their new public health responsibilities. The baseline funding for public health LESs will be included in the ring-fenced grants that local authorities receive for their public health responsibilities.
2
include Implanon (contraceptive implant), sexual health services (e.g. chlamydia screening, Emergency Hormone Contraception), NHS Health Checks, fitting and removal of IUCDs, alcohol misuse or substance misuse services, and smoking cessation services.
Transitional arrangements for current enhanced services While PCTs remain legally responsible for commissioning local enhanced services in 2012/13, any decisions to commission or de-commission enhanced services during 2012/13 should be agreed with emerging CCGs or (for public health services) with local authorities. Local enhanced services where funding is devolved to CCGS To ensure stability during the initial move to the new system:
PCTs will be asked to agree with CCGs whether to extend current LESs (excluding public health LESs) into 2013/14: we recommend that LESs are extended in this way unless there is compelling evidence for adopting a new approach
where current LESs are extended, PCTs will be asked to build in a review point after six months, so that CCGs can if they wish use funding in different ways after this point
the Board will devolve responsibility for managing these LESs to CCGs and
from April 2014, it will be fully up to CCGs to decide how to funding to commission community-based or practice-based services under the NHS standard contract.
PCTs will need to work with CCGs to plan and manage the transfer of LESs that are set to continue beyond 31 March 2013. Details of all existing LESs (including those
2 http://healthandcare.dh.gov.uk/public-health-system/
83
which PCTs and CCGs have agreed will expire on or before 31 March 2013) will be notified to the NHS Commissioning Board through the contract transition exercise. Local enhanced services where funding is moving to Local Authorities PCTs should already be planning with local authorities the transfer of pre-existing agreements that are set to continue beyond 31 March 2013 and providing details of those schemes set to end on or before 31 March 2013. It will be for local authorities to decide whether to re-commission these services. Managing conflicts of interests CCGs must manage any conflicts of interest and ensure that such conflicts do not corrupt the integrity of the decision-making process. CCGs are advised to follow the best practice set out in the draft Code of Conduct3 when commissioning services for which GP practices (or any provider in which GPs have an interest) are potential providers. Conclusion In essence then:
LES funding will be devolved to CCGs and Local Authorities so that they can commission services based on local needs and decisions
The contracting vehicle will not be a LES since this is a specific element of the GP contract which the NHS CB will hold
The rules around determining whether services are best delivered by practices or other providers have not changed
Like PCTs, CCGs will be expected to ensure that the services they commission deliver the best quality and outcomes for patients, provide value for money, give patients choice wherever appropriate, and adhere to procurement guidelines
This document is intended as a helpful summary to inform local planning and is not a substitute for legislation or any guidance issued in due course by the NHS Commissioning Board.

Londonwide LMCs and NHS North West London Primary Care Contracting team interim meeting
Action notes from Tuesday 20 November 2012
1.0 In attendance: Rachel Donovan (RD) Julie Sands (JS) Gill Rogers (GR) Alison Dalal (AD) Ariadne Siotis (AS) Kathryn Charles (KC) – on the telephone
2.0 Apologies: Andy Michaels
3.0 Matters arising from meeting 30 October 2012
AS to amend previous minutes to read “St. Mary’s” instead of “Queen Mary’s”.
4.0 NHS NWL 4.1 To receive an update on any NWL structural changes and appointments – JS reported that she
had been appointed as Deputy Head of Primary Care for NW London and that RD had been appointed as Assistant Deputy Head although it was not yet certain that she would be based in the NW team. David Finch had been appointed as Medical Director for London and Mark Spencer had taken a different role with the NCB.
5.0 Enhanced Services
5.1 LESs - JS reported that it is a requirement for CCGs to review all LESs and then to re-commission any required as Locally Commissioned Services which would have to be offered to any qualified provider unless they met certain criteria which were still unclear. Pertussis NES – RD noted that the issue about the additional reporting requirements had been escalated nationally and that practices should continue to provide the original data required for the NES and the EDD information would be collected separately.
6.0 Contracts
6.1 CQC – RD reported that all practices had now submitted the necessary information for CQC registration.
7.0 QoF 7.1 RD reported that she was attending all the Practice Managers fora to talk about the change from
QMAS to CQRS and to emphasise the importance of claiming all non-clinical indicators before the 31 March and signing everything off by 2 April. She agreed to share her slides with LwLMCs so that AS could include an item in local newsletters. (RD/AS) KC asked for an update on the MED 10 issue and RD noted that it had been resolved in Brent, Harrow and INWL but that they were still working on it for Ealing. RD agreed to feedback in time for the standing joint and that the general issue of Ealing approving points for Med 10 and QP indicators would be raised at the standing joint on the 28th. (RD)
8.0 Occupational Health 8.1 JS noted that the occupational health service would be re-commissioned in the near future but
88
that it was unclear what the available budget would be. AD and KC volunteered to be involved in developing the service specification with the HR team at NHS NWL. JS undertook to feed that back to the Maggie Gibb, Head of HR, and to let the LMC know what the timescale would be for commissioning the new service. (JS)
9.0 List Maintenance 9.1 AS raised a number issues with the FP69 process which had been brought to the attention of
LwLMCs by practices in KCW. The first was the fact that a certain number of flags had been set to expire after 5.5 months instead of the 6 months specified by the regulations. JS noted that she was aware of the issue and that it was in the process of being resolved. The second issue was around the PCSS insisting that practices provide evidence that a patient had been seen in the last 3 months before agreeing to remove the flag. JS indicated that the team at PCSS did know that that went against the Once for London guidance and that this was probably a case of the message not getting through to the staff on the ground. She agreed to raise this at the next management meeting of PCSS and to report back. (JS) In the meantime AS agreed to re-circulate the agreed Once for London guidance on list maintenance to all practices in NW London. It was also agreed that this may be good opportunity to inform practices that the official list maintenance programme would be starting in the New Year and to give them an idea of what to expect. (AS)
10.0 Practice Vacancies and Procurement 10.1 RD noted that the Grove Medical Centre in Hounslow will be going out for procurement. Before
Christmas with the PQQs due back by the end of January. RD also reported that The Practice in Hillingdon had found a partner to take over the contract.
11.0 Any Other Business KC raised an issue about the performers list for trainees as one of her trainees was obliged to stop working for a week because they were not added to the performers list on time. RD reported that there was now a robust system in place to ensure that trainees were placed on the list within 2 months of being in the practice. She undertook to send a reminder to all trainees to apply for the performers list as the next batch were due to start in February.
12.0 Date of Next Meeting – it was agreed that the December meeting would be cancelled and that the following dates would be put in the calendar for 2013 and be reviewed on a meeting by meeting basis. January 22nd 2013 February 26th 2013 March 19th 2013 All meetings would take place at LwLMCs’ offices and would begin at 3:30pm.
