Setting the Context….

The NHS Next Stage review: High Quality for All (DARZI)
– Working with NHS staff to ensure that clinical decision-making is at the heart of the future of the NHS and the pattern of service delivery
– Improving patient care, including high-quality, joined-up services for those suffering long-term or life-threatening conditions, and ensuring patients are treated with dignity in safe, clean environments
– Delivering more accessible and more convenient care integrated across primary and secondary providers, reflecting best value for money and offering services in the most appropriate settings for patients

Defining Quality (NSR)
Three elements:
• Patient Safety
• Effectiveness of Care
• Patient Experience
5
Principles of Change
• Co-production – working together
• Subsidiarity – decisions made as close to patients & the community as possible
• Clinical Leadership
• System alignment – same goals
6
Key Policy Messages translated to Children & Families
• Listening to the child & family
• Developing services around the family
• Care closer to home/at home
• Integration of the workforce
• Partnership working – across health, education & social care

Children’s Policy Drivers….

The Children’s Plan: Building brighter futures
Children’s Plan sets out the vision for children & young people, and trailed development of a Child Health Strategy.
Government’s 2020 ambition for all children and young people is to:
– Secure the wellbeing and health of children and young people;
– Safeguard the young and vulnerable;– Achieve world class standards in
education; and – Close the gap in educational achievement
for children from disadvantaged families– Ensure young people are participating and
achieving their potential to 18 and beyond– Keep children an young people of the path
to success.

Vision of Health Services shaped to promote health and care for ill health or vulnerability
in childhood
Health & NHS
Policy (incl. Darzi)
Cross- Govt plan outlines how DCSF will work with other Govt
Departments, families, communities and front-
line staff to improve the lives of children over the next decade
10
The Child Health Strategy must respond to the specific challenges faced by vulnerable groups and ill children, as well as promoting healthy behaviour by
all children and young people
All
Ill Vulnerable
• We are struggling to meet many of today’s biggest public health challenges and there are worrying trends.
• Health promotion is critical.
• We do not consistently undertake risk assessments and target support.
• Groups suffer disproportionately poor health outcomes
• Miss opportunities to intervene early
•Children with long term conditions or disabilities do not get the support needed to fulfill their potential.
•Key issues around access to specialists and age-appropriateness of settings where treatment is received.
We need to ensure services are sufficiently:
•Integrated
•Personalised
•Preventative
•Targeted
11
Child Health Strategy
Emerging themes:
• Health promotion and prevention (eg informing families and supporting healthy lifestyles)
• Early intervention
• Personalised and integrated services (accessible and designed around the needs of users)
• Effective, targeted access to specialist services
12
Child Health Strategy
Key Challenges to address:
• Unwanted variability in outcomes and
effectiveness of services
• Poor co-ordination of services – a barrier to personalisation and a shift to prevention
• Nature of public health challenges

Making it Happen:Levers and Initiatives to drive change……..
24
Child Health and Wellbeing is a priority for the Government as reflected in a Number of Public Service Agreements:
The Children, Families and Maternity Branch has a structured Programme of work in Support:
PUBLIC SERVICE AGREEMENTS:
PSA 12: Improve the Health and Wellbeing of Children and Young People;
PSA 13: Improving Children and Young People’s Safety
PSA 14: Increase in the Number of Young People on the Path to Success;
PSA 18: Promote better Health and Wellbeing for All;
PSA 19: Better Care for All
25
NHS Operating Framework
• Children and maternity services are identified as part of the national priority areas for 2008- 10
• Supporting this 5 of the 12 PSA indicators focus on child health, & 4 are reflected in the Vital Signs indicators for PCTs
• 3 of these PSA indicators – breast-feeding at 6-8 weeks, obesity among primary aged children, and CAMHS – are national priorities for local delivery i.e. all PCTs required to include in local plans
• There is also a PSA priority on services for disabled people & therefore includes CYP – PCTs working with communities and local partners prioritise for themselves
Child Health and Wellbeing is a priority for the Government – this is reflected in the NHS Operating Framework and related Vital Signs and NIS indicators
26
2009/10 Operating Framework
• ‘five key Areas where PCTs are expected (working with local partners) to pay particular attention:– Improving cleanliness and reducing HCAI’s– Improving access through the 18 week referral
pledge & access to GP services– Keeping adults & children well, improving
health and reducing health inequalities– Improving patient experience, staff satisfaction
and engagement – Preparing to respond in a state of emergency,
such as an outbreak of pandemic flu’
27
Making it HappenResponsibility for Local delivery……

Commissioning is the Key
• World Class Commissioning
• Transforming Community Services
• Outcomes and quality focussed
• Data & evidence
29
Clarity of components
• What needs to be done, based on best evidence.
• Who needs to do it, based on competencies.
• Where it needs to be delivered, based on safety and convenience.
• With what additional resources e.g. equipment, investigation access, decision support.
30
And finally…..
Transforming Community Services

Key Messages from the Primary and Community Care Strategy
Strategic Context
• Community services are critical to the delivery of improved services for patients and communities
• There is much good practice but too much variation in quality and outcomes
• Investment in staff and infrastructure is required to develop and deliver excellent ‘out of hospital’ care
• Clinical staff are central to driving change to improve quality, access and health outcomes
• something like Staff need the business tools to support them commission and provide high quality community services.
• DH is committed to driving the national improvement programme
• DH is committed to working with and supporting clinicians working in the community to maximise the potential for –Best heath services and health outcomes–Rewarding clinical careers and opportunity in the community
–Incentivising high quality and innovation
