Statement of Intent
This document sets out a challenging transformational change programme that
focuses on improving quality and outcomes for the patients we serve whilst
concurrently returning the system to financial balance thus allowing the NHS
partners within Barking and Dagenham, Havering, and Redbridge (BHR) to
continue to meet the current and future needs of our population, and also to
facilitate the move toward a true Integrated Care System across health and care.
We do not underestimate the scale of the cultural, clinical and managerial
challenge that the plans laid out in this document will bring to the NHS partners
in BHR and the need throughout this process to bring our public, partners (in the
widest possible sense) and our respective teams with us on the transformational
journey we are committing to.
We will be relentless in ensuring that as we move toward financial recovery for
the BHR system that quality, safety, access and delivery of our constitutional
standards are at the heart and centre of our system recovery and at no point will
they be compromised in pursuit of financial efficiencies alone.

Section One: Introduction
On the 16 October 2018 the main NHS partners covering Barking and Dagenham, Havering and Redbridge (BHR) were set the task of
producing a joint System Recovery Plan that would bring the system back into balance. In response this Financial Recovery Plan (FRP) is
jointly submitted by the BHR NHS partners namely the BHR Clinical Commissioning Groups (CCGs), Barking, Havering and Redbridge
University Hospitals NHS Trust (BHRUT) and North East London NHS Foundation Trust (NELFT), although as part of the workup of this
document the partners have also engaged with the three GP Federations in BHR and with Local Authority colleagues.
The BHR system FRP aims to address the £186m ‘current state’ financial gap that will exist by March 2021 if no further action is taken by the
partner organisations. The current state financial position takes into account existing Quality, Innovation, Productivity and Prevention (QIPPs)
and Quality and Cost Improvement Programme (QCIPs) and other related efficiencies that have been identified already, including any full year
effect into 2019/20. In closing the financial gap we have put forward three system level programmes aimed at tackling significant areas of
concern for the system, and a challenging Cost Efficiency and Effectiveness Programme that returns the system to financial balance by March
2021. However, we also recognise that within this challenging plan we have significant delivery risk so have included a section outlining how we
intend to mitigate as much of this as possible.
It cannot be understated that this will be a challenging endeavour for the BHR partners and will involve significant shifts in income and activity
as well as the need to rebase costs across our system in response. We cannot also underestimate the impact of the lag between the
introduction of a system efficiency that reduces activity and the time at which partners have the confidence to remove the associated capacity
and costs (accepting that some costs such as medication spend etc. will occur almost immediately).
In delivering system recovery we will need to consider transition funding and different contract payment mechanisms to ensure the viability of
the partners as our agreed areas of focus progress and the ongoing support from our North East London partners, and even more importantly
regulators, in this matter will be a necessity.
The document should be seen as the start of the journey toward financial recovery, rather than the end as there is much work to do looking at
the cost impact of income and expenditure changes and also working up and mobilising the various projects that underpin the recovery. The
scale of the challenge is vast and will involve multiple projects (given there is no magic bullet that would solve the problems faced in BHR)
requiring collaboration on a scale and scope not seen in BHR before and rarely seen across the NHS.
BHR System Financial Recovery Plan Page 5
With all of the above challenges the BHR NHS partners are both confident that we will be able to resolve any issues that arise and committed
to ensuring that financial recovery occurs not at the expense of patient care but through dramatic and enduring improvements in both care and
outcomes. Before we enter into the detail of the pack BHRUT and BHR CCGs (as the partners in financial special measures) would like to
issue the following joint statement to regulators.
Joint Statement for Regulators from BHR CCGs and BHRUT
BHRUT and BHR CCGs are committed to working together to realise £60m of real cash savings and to sharing this equally between them to bring both parties back to break-even. The scope of the savings will be all areas of joint spend (i.e. where both parties have income/expenditure) and will need the parties to work together on both how the savings are realised and how the rewards are shared between them through contractual mechanisms. This programme of work will be achieved whilst ensuring we protect the financial integrity and sustainability of NELFT.

Section Two: Drivers of the BHR System Deficit In coming to an understanding of the current system deficit within BHR we have looked at a wide range of factors that have potentially
contributed to the deficit. From these contributory factors we created of a number of ‘assumptions’ that were then tested against available
evidence to determine whether or not these items have contributed in part to the current deficit. A summary of the results of this work is shown
in the table below with the detailed text provided within the main body of this chapter along with supporting evidence in Appendix 2.
Assumption Summary of Analysis Appx
2
1. Our population is different and more complex than our peers leading to increased health and care costs.
The local population has many challenges including rising ethnic diversity, areas of severe poverty and poor long term health outcomes when compared to other parts of London. However, the available evidence suggests that these factors do not explain the variance in activity and spend compared to our North, Central and East London (NCEL) peers as they too suffer from many of the same issues. Therefore whilst this is clearly a contributory factor in terms of other areas of London it does not explain the variance in NCEL.
Slides 2-4
2. There has been historic underfunding within the system.
Over the period from 2014/15 to 2017/18 the system was underfunded by more than £40m (considering both CCG allocations and Primary Care co-commissioning budgets). Whilst the distance from target for the BHR system is mostly negligible apart from Primary Care in Redbridge we cannot ignore the impact of historic underfunding (and for Redbridge current funding).
Slide 5
3. Primary Care capacity has been constrained leading to increased secondary care demand.
BHR has low levels of full-time equivalent GPs and Practice Nurses creating issues with capacity and access. BHR has consistently had the highest number of referrals into secondary care of the 12 CCGs in NCEL.
Slides 6-9
4. We have large prevalence gaps driving increased non-elective secondary care activity associated with key Long-Term Conditions.
We have identified that the BHR system has substantial prevalence gaps associated with key Long-Term Conditions (LTCs). Whilst the gaps are not significantly different to other parts of London they are a contributory factor both in terms of increased non-elective activity and poorer outcomes for patients.
Slides 10-15
5. The BHR system has reduced activity in the community compared to the NCEL average.
This assumption has not been proven. Activity and investment within BHR appear consistent with our North East London peers. This would imply that the investment being made is possibly incorrectly targeted and/or we have the wrong service model.
Slide 16
6. There is increased secondary care activity and costs compared to our NCEL peers.
BHR CCGs have spent on average £90m more per year for the last three years in secondary care compared to our peers in NCEL.
Slides 17-28
7. There are additional issues affecting BHRUT’s operating cost model.
BHRUT has many of the same cost pressures as other acute Trusts but specifically some less common issues such as excess Private Finance Initiatives (PFI) costs that have contributed to the current deficit position.

8. Historically difficult relationships have hindered system working.
Historically difficult and complex relationships between the partners, and between the partners and regulators has made true system working difficult.

BHR System Financial Recovery Plan Page 7
Assumption One: Our population is different to NCEL The three London Boroughs that make up BHR are both demographically and ethnically diverse and have been becoming more diverse over
time. The London Borough of Barking and Dagenham (B&D) in particular is the second most deprived borough in London after Newham
(considering gross annual income as a main indicator) and this drives poor outcomes with high levels of mortality due to preventable conditions
and very low healthy life expectancies compared to much areas in London.
Whilst the London Boroughs of Havering and Redbridge are in the mid-range for London boroughs for both deprivation and healthy life
expectancy, they have pockets of extreme deprivation, also Havering currently has the ‘oldest’ population in London (although it is set to have a
significant increase in younger people going forward). Havering also has a large cluster of care homes and that will make the area a net
recipient of Older People moving in from elsewhere within and outside of London.
The impact of the local demographics across BHR on the NHS is multi-factorial, including the early onset of disease and frailty driven by
deprivation, increased numbers of Older People requiring support in the community because of the age of the population and increased
prevalence of key diseases (most notably diabetes) due to large populations with increased genetic prevalence of developing Long-Term
Conditions. There are also cultural challenges to overcome such as a proportion of our population from Eastern Europe who do not historically
use Primary Care to access health services and instead present via A&E.
A further aspect that we need to consider not only in how we have arrived at our current position, but for the future, is the rapid growth and
change in our population demographics. The population is set to grow in BHR from 770,000 in 2017 to 871,000 in 2027 (both based on Greater
London Authority population projections although lower than identified as part of the strategic estates plan based on housing growth).
Specifically, for the purposes of the FRP, the Sustainability and Transformation Plan (STP) agreed growth projection for BHR over the period to
2020/21 is 6.03%.
However, despite all of the above being a contributory factor to excess spend were we to compare ourselves to the whole of London, when we
look at our main peer group (the 12 CCGs of North Central and East London (NCEL)) many of these population health issues are equally
prevalent and therefore the excess activity and spend within the BHR system compared to NCEL cannot be explained by any noticeable
population health factors.
Conclusion: Whilst the population challenges have contributed to strain across the health system when compared to the wider population in
London it does not explain the variance in activity and spend to our NCEL peers who have broadly the same population level challenges.
BHR System Financial Recovery Plan Page 8
Assumption Two: There has been historic underfunding within the system Over the period from 2014/15 to 2017/18 BHR CCGs were underfunded compared to our target allocation by more than £32m. When we
include historic co-commissioning funding levels over the same period the funding gap grows to more than £40m.
Within the detail of the CCG allocations we can see that Barking and Dagenham CCG were ‘over’ capitated by £21.8m over the period but both
Havering and Redbridge CCGs were ‘under’ capitated by £22.8m and £30.5m respectively giving the net deficit of £32m for the system. This
historic underfunding continues today with regards to Primary Care funding for Redbridge.
Conclusion: The system has been historically under-funded and this continues for Redbridge in terms of Primary Care funding. As a % of the
total budget for the system the under-funding is not significant but may have driven a reluctance to invest in Out of Hospital services that in turn
now contribute to excess secondary care activity.
Assumption Three: Primary Care capacity has been constrained leading to increased secondary care
demand All data in this section is based on 2017/18 information but the situation is not felt to have changed substantially since that period.
Comparing the number of full time equivalent (FTE) GPs across the seven CCGs in North East London (NEL) the BHR CCGs come in as 7th
lowest (B&D), 6th lowest (Redbridge) and 4th lowest (Havering). This contributes to significantly increased patients per GP ratios (1,741:1 for
Redbridge, 1,736:1 for Havering and 1,621:1 for B&D compared to Tower Hamlets of 1,346:1).
In addition, there is a significant number of single-handed practices and also a large cohort of locum medics used to support BHR particularly
within B&D CCG where the percentage of locums is significantly above the North East London average. This leads to issues with access and a
lack of familiarity with local pathways and services.
Primary Care nursing ratios are also extremely poor in BHR with all three CCGs having a higher patient to nurse ratio than the national average
(1:3,600) and only Havering having a lower ratio than the London average (1:5,800). The issue is particularly acute in Redbridge with a ratio of
one nurse per 7,000 patients.
BHR System Financial Recovery Plan Page 9
As mentioned earlier, funding for Primary Care has been an issue with income per weighted patient across BHR a problem. Comparing BHR to
the rest of NEL Redbridge has a weighted income of £96.50 per patient and is the lowest in NEL followed closely by Havering as the 2nd lowest
(£99.70 per patient) and B&D has the 4th lowest (£111.50 per patient). This compares unfavourably to Newham (£114.10 per patient).
To partially offset the relatively low levels of investment in Primary Care the CCGs have attempted to directly commission services through
Local Incentive Schemes (LISs) putting in between £1.7m (B&D) and £2.3m (Havering) compared to £7.3m in Tower Hamlets and £10.7m in
City and Hackney. Newham by contrast has only invested £1.1m through LISs but we must offset this against the fact they have the highest
funding on a weighted patient basis in NEL. Only Waltham Forest has similar issues in Primary Care to the BHR system with both relatively low
investment levels (£0.5m) and modest income per weighted patient (£105.40 per patient).
The impact of this is that consistently over the last three years BHR CCGs have had more referrals into secondary care per 1,000 population
than our NCEL peers and have extremely high spend associated with non-elective attendances and admissions associated with Older People
and people with Long-Term Conditions.
To rectify this situation and achieve a ‘reasonable’ figure of one GP per 1,500 patients would need BHR to increase by 50 GPs as detailed
below:
B&D – ‘ideal’ of 105 verses actual of 98 (-7)
Havering – ‘ideal’ of 165 verses actual of 143 (-22)
Redbridge – ‘ideal’ of 157 verses actual of 136 (-21).
In terms of Practice Nurses, whilst Havering is below the London average ratio of one nurse to 5,300 patients it would require an additional 17
nurses across Barking and Dagenham and Redbridge to achieve the London average as follows:
B&D – ‘ideal’ of 43 verses actual of 40 (-3)
Redbridge – ‘ideal’ of 60 verses actual of 46 (-14).
Conclusion: Primary Care capacity and a historic infrastructure deficit are both key drivers of increased secondary care activity and costs.
BHR System Financial Recovery Plan Page 10
Assumption Four: We have large prevalence gaps that are contributing to Non-Elective activity
associated with key Long-Term Conditions (LTCs) Within our population we have identified substantial prevalence gaps associated with key Long-Term Conditions (LTCs). The fact that these
patients are not receiving active treatment drives increased non-elective activity associated with unmanaged conditions. Example gaps for key
diseases and conditions are diabetes (c14,000 unidentified patients in BHR), atrial fibrillation (AF) (c7,000), chronic obstructive pulmonary
disease (COPD) (c10,000) and hypertension (c70,000). Although it is impossible to map LTCs to specific specialties (for example diabetes can
drive problems related to everything from eyes to dementia) we can see increased spend and non-elective activity in specialties related to
these conditions such as stroke (AF), respiratory (COPD) and cardiology etc.
Conclusion: The prevalence gaps, whilst not unique to BHR, appear to be a significant contributory factor in elevated non-elective attendances
and admissions in secondary care and therefore represent a significant cost pressure to the system.
Assumption Five: The BHR system has underfunded community services Available analysis on spend and activity (measured as £/1,000 population and contacts/1,000 population) show that our investment and activity
levels for BHR are broadly in line with those within North East London although there is relatively wide variation with B&D substantially above
the average and Redbridge below the average. This assumption is only partially supported but does suggest our investment may be incorrectly
targeted or we have the wrong service models for our population needs.
Conclusion: We invest (on average) at the same rate as North East London and have the same contact rates implying that our service models
may need to be refined but under-funding of community services is not a contributory factor to the deficit.
Assumption Six: There is increased secondary care activity and cost compared to our NCEL peers Comparing the amount spent and the activity levels per 1,000 population across the top 50 specialties (accounting for more than 95% per year
of all secondary activity and spend) shows that BHR CCGs have an elevated spend in secondary care of £94m per year on average over each
of the last three years compared to our NCEL peers. This analysis also considers the small number of specialties where BHR CCGs spend less
than this NCEL average to arrive at the £94m net excess annual spend.
We have already excluded from this any drivers associated with population health disparities compared to our peer group but have seen that
capacity in Primary Care, referral rates into secondary care and issues associated with patients with LTCs are contributing to the overspend.
BHR System Financial Recovery Plan Page 11
Considering elective activity first the over-referral into secondary care mostly manifests itself in referrals into BHRUT as the main acute provider
for the BHR system. Whilst the Trust has discharged patients at a rate equivalent to their peers given the excess referral rate means that
overall more of the Trust capacity is targeted at lower acuity patients. This limits the amount of income the Trust can earn per patient and
contributes to the declining financial performance for the Trust.
Concurrently because the capacity is constrained within BHRUT by the excess of low acuity patients a significant cohort of patients flow into the
independent sector where analysis we have undertaken shows that the NHS incurs a 30-40% incremental cost compared to NHS providers.
Alternatively, the referrals have historically flowed into Barts Health NHS Trust or the Homerton University Hospital where there is a market
forces factor (MFF) impact of between 3% (Barts) and 4% (Homerton) as well as flowing out of sector to Essex (where there is a MFF benefit to
the BHR CCGs but BHRUT lose the revenue associated with high acuity patients). Although the proposed MFF changes going forward will
mostly mitigate these excess costs at Barts and Homerton we cannot ignore the historic impact of them, and nor can we ignore the ongoing
cost differential between the NHS providers and independent sector providers.
In terms of non-elective activity, there is extremely high activity associated with Older People with non-elective admissions for geriatric
medicine alone accounting for £14m per year of the £94m per year excess spend alone. We can also see increased non-elective
attendances/admissions (and spend) for Older People in specialties such as urology, cardiology and gastroenterology. In addition, the system
has around 45% of all predictable deaths occurring in hospital. Considering patients aged over 65 who die in hospital (excluding those who die
within the first 24 hours to exclude as far as possible trauma and other unpredictable deaths) the system incurs a cost of £21m per year
admitting these patients non-electively in the last 12 months of life (average of around 2.5 admissions per patient) with a cohort of 418 patients
from across NCEL (210 from BHR) over the last 12 months to October 2018 being admitted between four and 12 times to either Barts or
BHRUT.
Although the BHRUT average length of stay for Older People is about the same as their NCEL peers (albeit much higher than the national
average) the fact that the absolute number of admissions is above that of NCEL peers is placing significant pressure on beds. Taking the
average length of stay for people aged over 65 of 7.2 days and multiplying this by the number of excess geriatric medicine non-elective
admissions compared to the NCEL average alone of 3,133 gives a total excess bed pressure (compared to NCEL peers) of 22,558 bed days
(>60 beds), noting that not all of this excess will be at BHRUT. This is only an indicative impact given the bed pressures for Older People
arising in other specialties. When we consider non-elective admissions for people over 65 across all specialties this number increases to >70
beds.
For BHR (not just limited to BHRUT) a greater percentage of Older People admitted non-electively do not return to their normal place of care
and/or need elevated levels of social care compared to our peers placing pressures across the wider health and care system.
BHR System Financial Recovery Plan Page 12
A second cohort of patients attending non-electively are those with Long-Term Conditions (LTCs) evidenced in specialties such as cardiology,
respiratory, stroke, nephrology, endocrinology and gastroenterology where the combined excess spend compared to the NCEL average
associated with non-elective admissions for these specialities alone equates to c£9m per year. With LTCs such as diabetes and hypertension
causing issues across a range of specialties it is likely that our excess spend in other specialties is also driven to some degree by patients with
LTCs given the large prevalence gaps in our population referred to earlier.
Finally, we cannot ignore the impact of Consultant to Consultant referrals which are in excess of the comparable rate with NCEL peers.
Conclusion: The BHR system has an excess of secondary care activity and spend driven by multiple factors and contributing significantly to
the system deficit.
Assumption Seven: There are additional issues affecting BHRUT’s operating cost model In comparing BHRUT to other similar sized acute Trusts there are several specific issues that affect the overall financial performance of the
trust. The most obvious of these is the excess PFI costs that cause an annual £6m cost pressure over and above the central contribution that is
provided. Less obviously were the costs associated with the move out of quality special measures following the Care Quality Commission
(CQC) review where additional staffing requirements drove costs up by £9m. Further factors include the difficulty of recruiting high quality
substantive staff locally given the opportunity of clinical staff to work within nearby higher profile organisations further into London and to work
in less urbanised areas in Essex that leads to issues with both recruitment and retention. This adds a further £12.5m per year to BHRUT’s
operating costs.
Conclusion: BHRUT have some specific financial pressures that are less common within similar NHS organisations.
Assumption Eight: Historically difficult relationships have hindered system working Given the complex and inter-related issues described above we must also consider the historic working relationships which have frequently
been difficult. Some examples of the difficulties experienced are outlined below.
For the CCGs, the historic infrastructure deficit in Primary Care has driven increased secondary care activity at an increased cost compared to
an out of hospital setting. Numerous procurements undertaken by the CCGs has introduced new providers into the system whilst leaving the
existing overheads to be managed by providers.
BHR System Financial Recovery Plan Page 13
For BHRUT, the excess referral rates have led to an increased percentage of low acuity patients that has reduced the earning potential per
patient for the Trust. Recognising the capacity deficit in BHR there is still much that could have been delivered through system working. Going
forward, one of the major programmes is to reduce the amount of low acuity care provided in a secondary care setting and this will need the full
cooperation of all partners including the GP Networks and Federations in BHR.
Finally, the focus on transactional issues (including claims/challenges, coding, procurements etc.) resulted in a reluctance for partners to share
information openly. Going forward, recognising that this will take time to rectify, the formation of the NHS Recovery Board and joint programme
management office plus a commitment to building ‘one version of the truth’ around data will remove any residual barriers.
Conclusion: Historic difficulties between the partners has hindered system working.
Other Potential Factors Not Tested In addition to the eight assumptions outlined above there are clearly other factors that may have contributed more or less to the current deficit
but that have not been tested as part of the process of producing this Financial Recovery Plan. These include:
The potential impact on health services of changes in Social Care investment levels.
The potential effects of either under-investment or the wrong service model in Mental Health services.
Contractual forms that drive unexpected and counter-productive behaviours.
The focus on one-year planning cycles without a longer-term focus.
The BHR system Financial Recovery Plan aims to address the various reasons for the current deficit and return the system to balance whilst
improving outcomes for patients.
Summary What is clear from the above is that the reasons for the deficit in BHR are multi-factorial and factors have combined to create a ‘perfect storm’
that has hindered our ability to reach financial balance and support the patients that we serve.
BHR System Financial Recovery Plan Page 14
Section Three: Purpose and Principles for NHS Financial Recovery within BHR In this section we set out the purpose and principles that we will be working to as we put into place the plans outlined within this document and the updates that will follow it. This section has been written in a manner that makes it easy to communicate the key messages about how we will work together to achieve financial recovery with staff, partners and our public.
Purpose Within the London Boroughs of Barking and Dagenham, Havering, and Redbridge (BHR) the healthcare services are predominantly delivered by three main NHS partner organisations (BHRUT, NELFT and BHR CCGs) plus our Primary Care Federations but we must also recognise the important contribution played in the delivery of high-quality care by both other NHS providers, independent sector providers, Local Authorities and the voluntary and charitable sector partners to the population we serve. The main purpose of the NHS partners in BHR is to improve the lives of the c800,000 people living within BHR and others who are entitled to access our services but who live outside of BHR. We also recognise that NHS financial recovery in BHR must be completely aligned to the emerging Integrated Care System (ICS) involving both health and care organisations and that the work we need to do to achieve NHS financial recovery cannot be at the expense of increased costs to our Local Authority partners. At the time of writing (2019) BHR CCGs spend nearly an average of £94m more per year on secondary care services than their peers in NCEL whilst concurrently BHRUT has a deficit of c£60m. The overall financial challenge across our local health economy by the 31 March 2021 including that attributable to specialist commissioning is around £186m (considering efficiency schemes and programmes that have already been put in place). To close this significant financial gap will require the NHS partners to work together to deliver financial recovery whilst also working in an increasingly interdependent system with our Local Authority partners as part of the Integrated Care System (ICS). This is our collective challenge and to achieve this we will be working together and adopting the principles set out below.
BHR System Financial Recovery Plan Page 15
Principles The principles we are adopting as part of the NHS Financial Recovery in BHR and our role in the wider ICS are:
Principle One: Collective responsibility, clear accountability Financial recovery needs to benefit the patient and must be clinically led. Individual services and their host organisations must be accountable for the delivery of both system wide financial recovery and improvements in patient care. This requires us to: 1. Have transparency between services and between organisations about our financial positions and pressures. This includes having an open
book approach to how we manage our finances when changes to our system affect more than one organisation. 2. Ensure that organisations are rewarded appropriately for the work they are doing to deliver patient care whilst at the same time ensuring we
are managing flows and demand so that care is delivered in the most appropriate settings. 3. Throughout the journey ensuring that whatever improvements we make do not have unintended consequences and that we are collectively
held accountable for improving outcomes for our patients.
Principle Two: Ambitious, sustainable cost savings NHS Financial Recovery will need to focus on transformation both because it is motivational to staff and beneficial to patients, but also because in a shared system accounting adjustments or cost shunting is a ‘zero sum game’. To incentivise transformation we will be seeking to put in place an innovation fund that will motivate teams within our organisations to both participate in and lead transformation for the benefit of our patients and receive in return funds for reinvestment in services that they can direct.
Principle Three: Evidence not eloquence Transformational change needs to be built on strong evidence and a shared understanding of data to enable the current situation to be diagnosed correctly before sizing the opportunity to improve. Accordingly: 1. We need to look at patient pathways on an end to end basis understanding in detail current patient flows, variation and costs at each stage. 2. Data to support this needs to present a single version of the truth to enable partners to agree the most effective way of implementing the
required improvements. 3. We will use data to evidence and celebrate our achievements and improvements and through this help both to demonstrate to patients that
we are working in their best interest and also to motivate current and future staff about working within the BHR system.
BHR System Financial Recovery Plan Page 16
Principle Four: Prioritised plans, dedicated resource None of the improvements in care or finances can be achieved without dedicated resource, including clinical, managerial and digital resource. Whilst recognising that all of this resource is finite and constrained it is critical to the delivery of our plan hence we need to prioritise. We believe as an NHS system that there are three main programmes that we must target our limited resources in the short to medium term: 1. Supporting Older People by keeping them healthier for longer in their normal place of care, reducing non-elective attendances and
admissions where possible and also supporting patients who do need to be admitted returning safely to their normal place of care wherever possible. This work will align to the wider ICS frailty programme.
2. Reducing inappropriate referrals and outpatient activity wherever possible to focus our resources on providing care closer to home for those with lower acuity needs and ensuring those with the highest needs receive prompt, effective secondary care treatment.
3. Identifying, managing and supporting patients with Long-Term Conditions to remain well and therefore converting high levels of non-elective
activity (and resulting poor outcomes) into elective care delivered out of hospital with the support of secondary care expert ise. These are all clearly multi-organisation programmes of work with much need to engage both Local Authorities and the VCS. There is a fourth system priority being focused on complex children but as there will be limited financial impact and it is more about ensuring care is provided in the most appropriate (and effective) setting it has not been included within this Financial Recovery Plan.

Section Four: Current State Financial Position This section is concerned with presenting the financial bridge based on the current QIPPs and QCIPs identified by the partners including any full year effect of existing schemes into 2019/20. The bridge, shown below, shows that the overall financial gap that the partners need to close from the current state position is £186m by March 2021.

Section Five: ‘Do Something’ Financial Scenario
In this section we explore the resulting financial position when we consider two specific areas of focus:
1. Internally Generated Efficiencies – These are the efficiencies that each partner can generate that has no I&E impact on the rest of the
system. This includes such things as reductions in running costs, reducing purchasing costs and agency fees as well as such things (for the
CCGs) as reducing prescribing spend (without pushing the burden elsewhere) and reducing continuing healthcare (CHC) costs etc.
2. System Level Programmes – These are the agreed areas of focus for the NHS BHR partners (and to an ever-increasing degree our Local
Authority partners) and cover Older People, Long-Term Conditions and Outpatient Reduction, as referred to earlier in this document.
Each of these two areas are considered separately in this section before coming together at the end to give the overall financial position.
BHR System Financial Recovery Plan Page 22
Internally Generated Efficiencies In developing our plans to close the £186m current state financial gap we have put forward planning assumptions associated with achieving
internally generated efficiencies for 2019/20 and 2020/21.
Internally generated efficiency assumptions: BHR CCGs
BHR CCGs believe they will be able to deliver c£23m of internally generated efficiencies, as detailed below. At present we have not included
any additional assumptions around the reduction in running costs of 20% that has been proposed, and this may stretch the proposed
efficiencies further.

Annual impact 11,185 10,225
It should be noted that some of this impact may be required to support the additional resourcing required to secure the delivery of the system-
wide efficiency programme.
BHR System Financial Recovery Plan Page 23
Internally generated efficiency assumptions: BHRUT
The Trusts approach to building a recovery plan is driven by clinical engagement across the Trust and wider system. The initial plans have
been built with good data and service line reporting and are cognisant with the evidence of model hospital/get it right first time (GIRFT) and
reinvigorating the Trust’s ‘Pride’ principles as per the Virginia Mason Institute. This has allowed the Trust to check and identify the potential
schemes, as well as assess the size of the opportunities and assess deliverability. The internally generated efficiency assumptions for BHRUT
are detailed within Appendix 1.
Internally generated efficiency assumptions: NELFT
NELFT believes that it will be able to deliver c£14m over the two years attributed to the BHR system element of the Trust business, due to it
covering a number of different commissioners. This takes account of the non-recurrent support within the 2018/19 QCIP.
Specialist Commissioning
As mentioned earlier, we have assumed that specialist commissioning will deliver all its residual efficiencies required without impacting on the
income and expenditure (or costs) of the BHR system partners.
BHR System Financial Recovery Plan Page 24
System Level Programmes Working together, the BHR system partners agreed that we should focus on three system level programme areas to coordinate limited
resources on the areas felt to have the greatest system benefit. A fourth programme area around Complex Children will mostly focus on work
between NELFT, the CCGs and local authorities, and will have an extremely low impact on finances so is not included. A summary of each of
the three main programme areas is given in the sections below and the detail of the underpinning projects is provided within Appendix 3.
It should be noted that all costs are priced using payment by results/national tariff payment scheme (NTPS) and this creates a residual variance
with BHRUT where we have an average pricing-based contract for activity above/below the baseline. We have also used 18/19 NTPS/PbR
pricing for all Programme Planning Assumptions and will refine the actual values for schemes that are not already worked up.
A summary of the impact of the system level programmes across BHR is shown on the following three pages. More detail is provided in the
following sections and in Appendix 3.
In addition, the Transformational Programmes are primarily concerned with income and expenditure flows and we will be working through the
cost impacts for partners as part of our Shared PMO processes detailed later within this document.

System Level Programme One: Older People
BHR System Programme Aspirations
To reduce the overall number of non-elective admissions per day across the BHR system by 12 per day (10 per day for BHRUT). This
will bring the BHR system to the NCEL average admission rate for Older People (aged over 65) and realise a gross saving of £10.5m
per year (3,650 admissions at £2,850 per admission) as well as freeing up 26,280 bed days (more than 70 beds in total) at an average
of 7.2 days length of stay per admission.
In addition, we want to reduce the percentage of predictable deaths occurring in an acute setting from the current 45% to 35% or
below, and reduce the number of non-elective admissions for patients at end of life from 2.5 to below 1.5 in the last 12 months of life.
Background to Programme
Compared to the NCEL average, BHR CCGs would need to reduce the number of non-elective admissions for Older People by more than
4,000 per year in geriatric medicine alone to reach the NCEL average rate at a system cost of £14m per year. In addition, Older People feature
non-electively in many other specialties where BHR CCGs have increased activity compared to the NCEL average including cardiology,
nephrology, urology, gynaecology and others. Many of the presenting conditions are ones that more targeted and effective intervention ‘out of
hospital’ could have prevented the conveyance/attendance and subsequent admission. In addition, once admitted the BHR system has
elevated numbers of people who do not return to their normal place of care placing much wider impacts on our system than just the NHS.
Finally, nearly 50% of all predictable deaths occur in hospital and in the preceding 12 months these patients have an average of c2.5 non-
elective admissions (with some people having up to 12).
Clinical Oversight and Ownership
This programme area and the associated aspirations were initially agreed by the BHR Health and Care Cabinet (HCC) on 8 November 2018
and by the Older People’s Transformation Board on 26 November. It was subsequently presented in summary to the HCC on 6 December
2018. This programme is being clinically and professionally led via the Older People Transformation Board.
A summary of the schemes within this programme are shown below. The detail concerning the schemes can be found in Appendix 3.

Identifying patients approaching the End of Life, identifying their preferred place of death and assisting them to remain in their normal place of care for as long as possible. In addition, we will provide system-wide coordinated planning and care to people in EOL. Currently the average number of admissions in the last 12 months is 2.5 per patient with a cost of ~£21m per year. Also focusing on Hospice Prescribing. This needs to link to MDT Programme for LTC Patients and will utilise and enhance the existing services delivered by NELFT and BHRUT and must also work with LAS.

Early identification and management of patients at risk of falling and provide multi-disciplinary support to avoid primary and recurrent falls. In addition, we will involve voluntary and community sector to provide early prevention interventions. Currently BHR admit circa 800 patients non-electively per year following a fall at an average cost per admission of £4,180. There is felt to be stretch in this programme as many patients who fall do not end up being coded as a fall for example being recorded as a break or contusion). This will also need to link to the emerging Falls Strategy and will be informed following the current audit. This will consider early intervention and the role of the VCS, Social Care and Community Pharmacy.

This project will focus on supporting older peoplewho have arrived at hospital to avoid an admission and to return home to their normal place of care through enhanced support from the existing Community Treatment Team (CTT) plus input from specialist medics. This may also include effective routing of patients direct to rehab and step down beds rather than into an acute bed. Programme due to start in Dec 18 including 'in-reach' into Ambulance Queues, Geriatric Support in A&E and coordinated working between NELFT CTT Therapists and the Nurse Led Frail Older People Advice & Liaison (FOPAL) Service run by BHRUT.

System Level Programme Two: Long-Term Conditions
BHR System Programme Aspirations
To close the prevalence gaps for key Long-Term Conditions (LTCs) (diabetes, AF, COPD, and asthma) by at least 10% to improve
long-term outcomes for patients.
To proactively manage patients with LTCs and reduce the number of non-elective admissions in key specialties acting as a proxy for
LTC admissions (cardiology, respiratory, endocrinology, vascular surgery and nephrology). Reducing non-elective admissions to the
NCEL average will mean a reduction of 1,500 non-elective admissions per year.
To move more care out of hospital for patients and provide this in the community using a multi-disciplinary team approach. The
aspiration is to reduce the hospital-based activity in key specialties to bring this down to the NCEL average meaning a reduction of
24,500 OPFA, OPFUP and OPPROC across cardiology, respiratory, endocrinology, rheumatology, vascular surgery and nephrology.
Background to Programme
BHR has substantial prevalence gaps associated with key LTCs and also significant gaps in effective management of patients with LTCs that
both affect the long-term outcomes and health costs associated with these patients. These issues manifest themselves non-electively with
significant variances in key specialities aligned to LTCs such as cardiology (AF, CHD, CVD, etc.), stroke medicine (AF), vascular
surgery/endocrinology (diabetes) and nephrology (CKD/CKI). However, given that diabetic patients (for example) can present with conditions
and complications as varied at ophthalmic disorders or the need for emergency amputations we can reliably equate a large percentage of the
significant overspend in non-elective activity compared to the NCEL average to patients with LTCs.
Clinical Oversight and Ownership
This programme area and the associated aspirations were initially agreed by the BHR Health and Care Cabinet (HCC) on 8 November 2018
and by the Long-Term Conditions Transformation Board on 29 November. It was subsequently presented in summary to the HCC on 6

System Level Programme Three: Outpatient Reduction
BHR system programme aspirations
In line with the aspirations within North East London (NEL) we aim to reduce the amount of outpatient activity by 30% overall. In the
medium term (to 2020/21) our aspiration is to reduce activity within the BHR system to the NCEL across the main specialties where
we are an outlier.
Concurrently this project also supports the achievement of constitutional standards (specifically referral to treatment (RTT) and
diagnostics) and the repatriation of work from high cost settings where delivery of care within the BHR system offers a substantial
cost saving whilst delivering care nearer (in most cases) to the patient's home or normal place of care.
Background to Programme
The three BHR CCGs are consistently the top three CCGs for referrals per 1,000 population into secondary care out of the 12 CCGs in NCEL.
Most of these referrals are to BHRUT as the major acute provider for the system. The Trust itself has an equivalent discharge rate and FUP
rate compared to its peers, but the fact that they receive more referrals on average means that a greater percentage of the total capacity is
occupied with patients who have an overall lower acuity need than the equivalent cohorts of patients within peer Trusts. This has been shown
to be a contributory factor to the Trust’s inability to earn the same per patient as many of its peers and therefore directly affects the system
deficit position. There are further impacts of the capacity tied up dealing with outpatient activity in that many more referrals are having to be
sent to the Independent Sector and other NHS Acute providers where, in the main, we incur a price pressure compared to work being
undertaken at BHRUT either through MFF differentials or for the Independent Sector where the differential can be up to 40%. By freeing up
outpatient capacity within BHRUT we have the opportunity to repatriate high acuity (and therefore more financially beneficial) work from high
cost settings to BHRUT and therefore achieve a true win-win for the system.
Clinical Oversight and Ownership
This programme area and the associated aspirations were initially agreed by the BHR Health and Care Cabinet (HCC) on 8 November 2018
and by the Planned Care Programme Board on 28 November. It was subsequently presented in summary to the HCC on 6 December 2018.
This programme is being clinically and professionally led via the Planned Care Programme Board.
A summary of the schemes within this programme are shown below. The detail concerning the schemes can be found in Appendix 3.

New Models of Care for
Outpatients
This is a joint programme between BHRUT and the Primary Care Federations across BHR to reduce Outpatient Care provided in a hospital setting. This supports the North East London Programme to reduce Outpatient demand by moving care Out of Hospital and closer to home. This will involve such things as Virtual Clinics and also ensuring that patients are promptly discharged at the end of their episode of care.

System Level Programme Four: Complex Children As mentioned at the start of this section there is a fourth system level programme that we have agreed to progress around Complex Children,
but as this is mostly a matter between BHR CCGs and local authorities and also is unlikely to realise significant savings, we have not included
this within the Financial Recovery Plan, but it will be part of our system level programmes for the Integrated Care System.
Joint Cost Reduction and Effectiveness Programme At the start of this Financial Recovery Plan the BHR CCGs and BHRUT provided a joint statement of intent for the parties to work together to
reduce costs by £60m and to share the benefits equally. Some of the areas we will be focusing on for this are included in the table below:
Area of Potential Focus Narrative
Understanding the loss-making elements of the BHRUT’s activity and working out either how we improve productivity or remove the work
The trust spends £25m/Year on Bank/Agency and a significant amount on Weekend/Evening Clinics plus there will be services that cannot fully recover costs irrespective of these issues as well a theatre utilisation issues that could all contribute to this area of savings.
Selective and/or increased repatriation
There is an MFF Savings from Barts/Homerton and an apparent cost differential from repatriation from the Independent Sector to the system (albeit MFF may be negated through the current consultation) and we need to review the services that we want to selective target for repatriation (respecting patient choice) for the services that provide the best balance in terms of contribution to BHRUT and reduction in spend.
Collective work on shutting capacity and the management of any stranded costs
This will cover the areas of focus for closing capacity and the management of any stranded costs. This is the most important area with regards to transition funding ‘asks’ from Regulators to bridge the financial gap that will arise between activity changes and the ability of the system to reduce costs.
Joint outsourcing arrangements (ie agreeing packages of work with IS Providers to limit the financial risk)
This will see us working together to packages of care to be outsourced to the Independent Sector utilising the current contract arrangements between BHRUT and the IS Providers and possibly a new contract arrangement between the CCGs and the IS Providers.
New Models of Care – for example, moving from consultant led clinics to nurse led, using enhanced triage instead of OPFA, delivering care in the community rather than from fixed estate
It is clear that supporting repatriated and existing work using the existing clinical model is not fully covering the trust’s costs and therefore we need to agree new models of care to reduce the recurrent cost of delivering services.
Estate management and reduction in spend/void spend
We need to develop a shared approach to managing clinical and other estate to reduce costs. This will need to align to the ELHCP Estates Programme.
Reduction in incidental costs such as diagnostic wastage, medicines and equipment etc
This will cover everything from optimising pathology and radiology capacity, reducing duplicated testing, optimising medication spend and better utilising equipment.
Increasing the utilisation of assets (for example reducing DTOCs to free up beds for new work)
This is concerned with maximising the utilisation of internal assets such as beds by looking at such things as the ‘earnings per bed day’ and ensuring that beds are filled with the right casemix of patients. This may also include reclassifying beds and clinical areas to balance income/cost/needs.
BHR System Financial Recovery Plan Page 37
‘Do Something’ Financial Bridge Taking into account all the benefits of the Internally Generated Efficiencies, the System Level Programmes and the expected two-year impact
of the Joint Cost Reduction and Effectiveness Programme we expect to both close the system financial gap and also improve outcomes for
patients. However, there is clearly a large amount of delivery risk associated with the expected benefits detailed in this section and this is the
subject of section six. The detail behind the bridge is provided on the following sheets.

Section Six: Delivery Risk Mitigations
The ‘Do Something’ Financial Position brings the system back to financial balance, but with significant (and as at the present time unquantified)
delivery risk. This section deals with potential mitigations to offset the delivery risk inherent within the plan covering the following four areas:
1. Stretch on Existing System Level Programmes – This would see the partners seeking to stretch the potential efficiencies for the existing
System Level Programmes. At this stage we are only able to provide some high-level assumptions as there is still a need to work through
the cost impact of further activity changes and also to assess the associated delivery risk of stretching already challenging schemes.
2. Additional ‘Top Down’ Opportunities – The partners have agreed a number of additional schemes that will be used, where possible, to
mitigate the delivery risk inherent in the FRP.
3. Alternative Approaches – This section considers alternative approaches to the BHR system Financial Recovery Plan other than adding
further schemes in to bring the system back to balance.
In addition to the three issues above, we would be remiss in not presenting some unpalatable options for regulators to consider, but
we need to make it clear that the BHR system partners are not in favour of considering the unpalatable options as it goes against our
explicit statement of intent set out at the start of this document.
4. Unpalatable/High-Risk Mitigations – These are areas of potential consideration that may be unpalatable but need to be considered as
part of the Financial Recovery Programme.
BHR System Financial Recovery Plan Page 42
Stretch on Existing System Level Programmes Earlier we presented the three main System Level Programmes and the underpinning projects that we have agreed we will focus on for the
main part of the Financial Recovery Plan. However, as was noted this does not fully close the ‘Current State’ financial gap and therefore as the
first step toward achieving this we propose to explore potential stretch on the existing projects. This is still very much ‘work in progress’ and we
recognise that the delivery risk will be even higher on any stretch than it is on the existing proposed activity/cost reductions. We still need to
both agree clinically and managerially that the proposed stretch is both realistic and delivers the expected cost reductions with any further
activity reductions. Therefore, the results for this section are presented as a very high-level opportunity.
Area Potential stretch Potential net impact
Older People Stretching the current aspiration of a net reduction of 12 per day to 14 per day day across the BHR system (with potentially 12 a day coming from BHRUT and the remainder from Barts).
£2.25m additional potential gross saving per year with a possible £1m net system saving
per year
Long-Term Conditions Increase the proposed impact from 1,500 non-elective admission to 2,250 non-elective admissions per year (with the increased impact clustered into year two).
Approximately £2m of additional gross saving for year two with a possible £1m of
net system saving
Outpatient Reduction Reduce outpatient activity to the NCEL average across the top 20 specialties. This could potentially increase gross
savings by c£4m per year with a net system saving of potentially £2m per year.
Potentially the stretch might add £3m in year one and £4m in year two (£7m total) but with significantly elevated delivery risk that will need to be
attached to these planning assumptions.
The table below gives regulators and partners a view on the potential scale of opportunity if we were to reduce activity to the NCEL average.
Area Current aspiration in system level
programme Proposed further stretch
Gap to NCEL average
Older People £20m net reduction per year £1m net reduction per year
c£20m per year Long-Term Conditions
£9.5m net reduction per year £1m net reduction per year
Outpatient reduction
£27m net reduction per year £2m net reduction per year
However, this would require further restructuring of the system and is outside the scope of a two-year Financial Recovery Plan.

Alternative Approaches Finally, we have included some points for discussion about how we may manage the financial recovery in the BHR system differently for
discussion although these are present for discussion and apart from support with transition funding are not expected to be part of the overall
system recovery.
Alternative Approaches
Allow the system to run with a deficit
Provide additional finance to support transition and/or reduce the delivery risk inherent in this plan
Extending the recovery period to March 2023 (see note below).
Note: As part of our modelling we have considered what the impact would be of extending the period to March 2023. In terms of the f inancial
ask this would increase making the extension a ‘zero sum game’ in terms of finances but what it does do is decrease the delivery risk of the
identified programmes.
BHR System Financial Recovery Plan Page 46
Unpalatable/High Risk Mitigations It is important to note that whilst we have included unpalatable options for completeness and discussion we are not proposing to
proceed with these as they go against our explicit statement of intent set out at the start of this document.
Unpalatable options for discussion
Failure to deliver Referral to Treatment standard or other constitutional standards
Fail to deliver on our Mental Health investment standard and/or improving access to psychological therapies (IAPT) targets
Implement service restrictions based on finance needs rather than clinical evidence
The BHR system partners do not want to put a quantifiable value on the financial benefits that may arise from the above as we do not wish to
consider them but the above list is included for completeness.
Summary The delivery risk inherent in the ‘Do Something’ plan can be mitigated to some degree (and potentially in its entirety) based on the additional
schemes detailed within this section without the need to consider the Unpalatable Options and/or alternative approaches. A key on-going task
will be to assess the delivery risk and continue to work up additional schemes and approaches to mitigate the risk.
BHR System Financial Recovery Plan Page 47
Section Seven: Implementation
In this section we consider the key issues that will affect the implementation of the BHR System Financial Recovery Plan.
Risks and Issues As can be gathered there are a number of significant risks associated with the delivery of the System Financial Recovery plan for BHR. The
most significant risks are detailed below with some narrative around potential mitigations provided.
Risk/Issue Description Impact Likelihood Narrative and Mitigation
There will be a lag between activity reductions and the changes in cost or increases in alternative activities that will affect the deliverability of the plan.
High High We will need to look at both transition funding and some mechanisms for risk sharing to prevent any disproportionate impact to any one partner.
The Primary/Community capacity to reduce secondary care activity and bring it closer to home does not exist.
High Medium to
High
We need to look at different models of care and closer alignment between Primary Care and Community Services to leverage the resource that exists. Also, we may need to see secondary care expertise delivered more frequently in the community to bolster the resources.
The delivery risk inherent in the programmes of work detailed within this document have not been quantified fully. This includes looking at both the cost impact as well as income/expenditure.
High High This work will need to be undertaken at pace following agreement of the plan by regulators. It will be an ongoing theme though throughout the duration of the Financial Recovery Plan.
Some or all of the elements of this plan may cause concern and issues with the public, other partners (including NHS organisations) and others.
Unknown High
We will need an effective communications and engagement plan and will require support from regulators in response to any significant issues arising from this plan and the subsequent changes that will need to be made.
We need to be clear that the changes we are proposing do not introduce any inadvertent quality or safeguarding issues.
Unknown Unknown
We will need to do an early piece of work to assess the plan in terms of potential areas of concern and then monitor each scheme during workup producing the relevant Quality and Equality Impact Assessments as well as any needed safeguarding reports.
There is a risk that the Financial Recovery Plan for the BHR System and the Clinical Strategy for BHRUT diverge from each other whereas they need to be fully integrated.
High Low
The development of the BHRUT Clinical Strategy for the two Hospitals will be done collaboratively and coordinated via the Joint PMO and NHS Recovery Board. Additional support may be required from Regulators to help manage any adverse concerns from the public, politicians or other stakeholders.
BHR System Financial Recovery Plan Page 48
Risk/Issue Description Impact Likelihood Narrative and Mitigation
Changes in people within any of the organisations involved (including regulators) could change the behaviours and dynamics of the system.
Low to High High
It is likely that there will be numerous changes in the senior leadership across the system and regulators over the period of this Financial Recovery Plan and we will use the NHS Recovery Board and the Joint Oversight Meetings to ensure that new senior leaders entering our system fully understand what the system is committed to.
The cultural change required across the system cannot be underestimated and may impact negatively on the ability of the system to progress programmes.
High High
Some of this will be mitigated by the communications and engagement plan detailed above and another mitigation will be ensuring consistency in the messages coming from system leaders. However, a large part of this can only be mitigated through time and the evidence of practice (i.e. the things we do and how we act).
Our planning assumptions are significantly wrong and adds substantially to the local financial challenge.
TBC TBC At this stage we are unclear on what the mitigations for this would be and would need to consider this when the scale of any adjustments we need to make are included.
Business As Usual (BAU) requirements overtake transformation.
Medium High
We recognise that many of the same people who will be instrumental in the delivery of transformational change also have a day job delivering clinical and support services hence the inclusion of a Transformation Programme Budget and dedicated resource to maintain consistency in the delivery of our plan.
Focus on system recovery destabilises long-term transformation partnerships and ambitions across the BHR health and care system
TBC TBC
Transfer of short-term cost pressures between NHS and partner organisations as a result of the system recovery focus, principally but not exclusively local authorities, causes disruption and problems in agreeing and maintaining the long-term transformation partnership that will deliver the sustainable health and care system. We will continue to work to share savings and transformation plans, understand impacts, build pooled and shared risk arrangements, and manage conversations with regulators and other external partners jointly.
The schemes we are putting forward still need to be worked up at pace and could have different projected impacts to the planning assumptions included.
Medium to high
Variable
We will be working on multiple schemes at pace to understand any variance to our planning assumptions. There will be a resource limitation to this but we are also working to align our existing resource to the Financial Recovery Plan to mitigate this.
BHR System Financial Recovery Plan Page 49
Governance of Recovery This section outlines the key Governance Structures that are associated with the ownership and delivery of the BHR System Financial
Recovery Plan.
NHS Recovery Board
This consists of the Clinical and Executive Leaders of all NHS organisations within BHR including GP Federations and will oversee the delivery
of the FRP and support the resolution of any issues blocking progress. Ultimately, as the BHR FRP moves from being purely agreed by the
NHS partners to also being fully aligned and integrated with our Local Authority partners we may move this responsibility to the Joint
Commissioning Board or change the remit of the NHS Recovery Board.
Shared Programme Management Office (PMO)
The Shared PMO has been established to enable the programme management and finance teams from the partner organisations to meet and
discuss the shared programmes of work. In addition, the Shared PMO will take responsibility for tracking the impact/benefit of schemes and for
managing the assurance and approval process for new schemes that will be put in place and that is detailed later within this document.
BHR Health and Care Cabinet (HCC)
This group consists of the Senior Clinical and Professional Leaders from across BHR and will set the clinical agenda for Financial Recovery
and monitor the progress of the Transformation Boards.
Transformation Boards
These will provide the clinical/professional ‘engine’ to progress the transformation workstreams that underpin the BHR NHS FRP. The System
Level Programmes within the FRP are aligned to the Transformation Boards as detailed below. The Transformation Boards are clinically
accountable to the BHR HCC and financially accountable to the NHS Recovery Board (and in time the Joint Commissioning Board).
Older People System Level Programme is managed via the Older People Transformation Board
LTC System Level Programme is managed via the LTC Transformation Board
Outpatient Reduction System Level Programme is managed via the Planned Care Programme Board
All Transformation Boards are supported by resource from the Shared PMO and to ensure consistency in how Transformation Boards operate
we are establishing an assurance process that is detailed on the following page.

Resourcing the Financial Recovery Plan (FRP) We have agreed additional resource to support the delivery of the FRP amongst the major NHS organisations. We are still to agree any
additional resources that may be required by other partners and how that may be funded. A summary of the additional resources for each
partner organisation is detailed below along with the shared resource.
Partner PMO Resources Delivery Resources
BHRUT No additional resources required over and above existing PMO Resource.
No additional resource required over and above existing delivery resource.
NELFT Funding for a VSM/Band 9 Director of the BHR PMO and a Band 6 has been agreed with the funds coming from the 19/20 and 20/21 Demographic Growth
Funding agreed for 2 x 8B Programme Managers to support the Older People and LTC System Level Programme and an analyst dedicated to the BHR System. Again this will come from the 19/20 and 20/21 Demographic Growth.
BHR CCGs No additional resources required over and above existing PMO Resource.
The BHR CCGs have agreed a £1m/year Transformation Budget to fund the delivery resources below and a large percentage of the Shared PMO detailed below. The additional delivery resources are 1 x 8B to support the GP Federations in addition to existing Primary Care support to enable them to support Financial Recovery and 1.5 x 8A roles to support the Older People System Level Programme.
Shared PMO Resourcing
Partner PMO Resources Funding the Shared PMO
Leadership This will consist of the PMO Leads for each partner organisations and a Director of System Recovery.
Funding will come from the BHR CCGs £1m/Year Transformation Budget plus a £300k/Year contribution from NELFT (via Demographic Growth) and a similar amount from BHRUT.
Transformation Board Support
3 x Band 8Cs and 3 x Band 6 will be recruited to support the main Transformation Boards. Each 8C/6 ‘team’ will also support a second Transformation Board to ensure coverage.
Clinical Resource
Most clinical resource (ie backfill) will come from existing partner budgets to enable clinicians to engage in the transformation work required. A small budget for any additional clinical resource has been allocated.
External Support We have budgeted £250k in the first year (19/20) to obtain external support to target specific issues relevant to the FRP around Bed Base, A&E Demand and Diagnostics.
Communications A budget of £50k has been allocated to augment existing communications support if required.
BHR System Financial Recovery Plan Page 52
The proposed structure for the delivery of Financial Recovery as summarised above is shown in the diagram below:
BHR System Financial Recovery Plan Page 53
Financial Recovery also requires a different approach to how business cases are agreed across multiple partners and how we collectively track
benefit to the system and avoid cost shunting. A proposed approach to the assurance process for Financial Recovery schemes is shown below:
BHR System Financial Recovery Plan Page 54
Section Eight: System Enablers
Delivery of Financial Recovery within BHR relies on a number of interrelated enablers that are covered below:
System Enablers
Enabler Narrative
Clinical Strategy BHRUT will be updating their Clinical Strategy in 2019 and this needs to be aligned to the FRP. The NELFT Business Strategy was updated in 2018. The BHR CCGs will review whether the original Devolution Pilot Strategy will need to be updated in light of the BHRUT Clinical Strategy and the NHS FRP.
Workforce All partner organisations in BHR (including GP Federations) have workforce issues and there is a collective appetite for a shared workforce strategy across our NHS system.
Estates The partners collectively own substantial estate and there exists opportunities to share both estates resource and estate itself. This will be evaluated further.
Digital Work being undertaken at a North East London level needs to be localised and rolled out at pace. This is a key focus for 19/20.
Business Analytics The partners have agreed in principle to share Business Analytics and are working out how this will be put into practice. For the purposes of progressing the FRP partners are already sharing available data and producing deep dive reports on areas a diverse as MSK, Pressure Ulcers and Infections.
Regulatory Environment
Maintaining a Joint Regulatory Environment and moving toward a Shared Control Total is felt to be a key system enabler for NHS Financial Recovery.
BHR System Financial Recovery Plan Page 55
Section Nine: Asks from Regulators
This final section lays out some specific requests to regulators to support financial recovery within BHR.
Maintain the Joint Regulatory Environment: Managing the system on a shared control total and having single, joint meetings with the BHR
partners will support system working and reduce the risk of relationships between the partners fragmenting again.
Support the System with Transformation/Transition Funding: As transformation and/or transition funding is made available the BHR
partners ask regulators to consider putting our system at the front of the queue given the scale of ambition we have displayed in pulling this
Recovery Plan together.
Ensure there is a consistent message across the wider North East London System: With the BHR system partners now aligned around
this Financial Recovery Plan it is necessary for the wider system within North East London to be working toward the same principles The
biggest single financial risk to the BHR system remains Barts and ensuring that they are being given the same messages about system working
and ensuring the financial health of the wider North East London system would be extremely useful.
Recognise the need to invest in resource to secure delivery: The partners are putting forward an ambitious and challenging plan and it
needs to be recognised that this will need resourcing. The proposed Transformation Programme Budget can only partly be funded through the
reprovision costs and will ultimately need to be underwritten by one of the parties (most likely BHR CCGs) and set against this is the
requirement for CCGs to reduce spend by 20% and support from regulators to unpick this dilemma is needed.
Support with Capital Investment & Specific Financial Pressures: Part of the longer-term need is for BHR to have support for capital
investment and regulators are asked to give support to prioritising investment in the BHR system and to the bids and proposals already put
forward. In addition, Regulator support to help the system address the interest charges for BHRUT and the £10.9m Control Total for the BHR
CCGs for 19/20 is needed.
Support with managing any public concerns: We are proposing a radical programme of change in a relatively limited period of time and
expect to be (rightly) challenged by our public, partners and others throughout this process. We will require support from regulators to the
challenges raised at points and a general level of support for our overall direction of travel. This will be of particular concern during the revisiting
of the BHRUT Clinical Strategy that is likely to raise concerns both with the public and with politicians. The strategy has to align to the overall
BHR System Recovery Plan and will aim to optimise the use of all estate to achieve the best clinical outcomes for the patients we serve as well
as supporting financial recovery.

I. Overview

Patient safety and quality of care remain at the heart of the Trust, however
there is a clear understanding that this needs to be delivered in a way which is
financially sustainable. This is not a trivial exercise for the Trust or the
Integrated Care System (ICS), and this document seeks to answer “what would
need to be achieved to breakeven by March 2021?”, in line with our Board
Undertakings. It will also inform our clinical strategy and five year plans due to
be developed in 2019.
BHRUT has a long history of poor financial performance, which is forecast to
reach a deficit of around £100m by March 2021 before mitigation (our “do
nothing” scenario). Helpfully, our diagnosis shows there are no material
“structural” drivers of this deficit which cannot be fixed. We will need to be
ambitious with our cure.
Our internal aim needs to target upper quartile Model Hospital cost
performance with c.£60m of savings over two years, or 5% per annum, which
we estimate will cost £20m to deliver. Recurring themes include the need to
reduce our staff vacancy rates and improve our culture as part of a substantial
workforce agenda. At the same time we need to improve our core processes to
support highly efficient, profitable elective pathways, overhaul the way we look
after outpatients and increase the resilience of our A&E performance.
We also need to redesign pathways across our ICS for the benefit of our
patients and be one of the first ICS’s to deliver financial value. Our Trust and
the CCG are serious about working together, demonstrated by an agreement to
stop “intercompany squabbling” and pursue “real savings” of £60m, which will
then be shared equally to send a clear message that working together is good.
This would bring us to a residual deficit of c.£30m by March 2021 which we
expect to be closed through a combination of transformation funding through
tariff and reduction in interest costs from the centre.
As always in these plans, risks abound. For BHRUT, these include the need for
change in culture and clinical engagement; the inability to recruit; insufficient
capital and change in leadership. For the ICS, key risks are ability to redesign
pathways with digital support and then delivery of benefits given scarcity of
success in other ICS. Other risks include macro assumptions given we have not
received planning guidance, and much work needs to be undertaken to turn
this document into a programme which is ready to deliver from 1 April 2019.
This all leads to the final and probably most significant risk - the reality check
that some of this recovery is likely to take longer than two years given the need
for deep, enduring change.

II. Financial context and plan to end FY20/21

BHRUT - FRP21
This FRP21 seeks to show what it would take for BHRUT to breakeven by March 2021, in line with
our Board commitments. It will also inform our broader clinical strategy and five year plans, due to
be developed in 2019.
The Trust has reported significant financial deficits for a number of years, as set out in the chart to the right. This culminated in an outturn deficit of £49m post PSF (£67m before PSF). This led to the Trust being placed into Financial Special Measures (“FSM”) in February 2018.
Since then, the financial position of the Trust has been stabilised, and we are targeting a reported deficit of £60m and underlying deficit of £65m for FY18/19.
Our financial performance has been compounded by significant and sustained operational performance and other challenges, including:
• RTT - full recovery plan in place with a plan to return to achieving 88% from March 2019 from the current performance of 82%.
• A&E - sustained high attendance figures have impacted on performance. Work is on-going to improve patient flow through initiatives such as Red2Green, and multi-agency discharge events are now embedded practice.
• Diagnostics - following a fire in our Queen’s endoscopy suite in May 2018, diagnostic waiting times have lengthened with 87% of patients receiving diagnostic within six week against a target of 99%. We plan to return to compliance from April 2019.
• High levels of employee vacancy - with 16.6% of staff WTE employed on a temporary contract against a target of 8%.
• Cultural conflict, weak clinical engagement and poor system wide relationships.
The system in which the Trust operates is also financially challenged, with Barking and Dagenham, Havering and Redbridge CCGs (“BHR CCGs”) currently in FSM and forecasting a “do nothing” deficit of £179.4m by end of FY20/21. Continued financial pressure has led to a historically challenging relationship with our primary commissioner, however, we are working together to find collaborative solutions to the issues faced in our health system as set out in sections 11 - 15.

Our diagnosis of the key drivers of our deficit indicate that there are no material structural drivers,
and rather that our deficit represents a combination of internal operational efficiency challenges
and strategic health economy issues, all of which can be addressed over time to support our
ambition in reaching upper quartile.
We have worked through the causes of our deficit, as set out in the table to the right, which we have considered through three lenses; structural, strategic and operational causes.
Structural deficit
After the rebate of £16m from Department of Health, the net cost of our PFI contract is estimated to be £6m above the reference cost. We also face an annual increase c.£0.8m in PFI costs, due to the underlying complex structure.
Strategic deficit
The key driver of our strategic deficit relates to our local health economy. It is estimated that we undertake c.£30m of work per year which is unaffordable to the system. The system estimates that the Trust delivers c.£60m more activity than would be expected in secondary care in our region.
The Trust incurs £5m of interest costs more than our peers, due to £150m more debt than peers. This relates to the Trust’s history, and paying a higher rate of interest on borrowings (6% vs 1.5%).
At this stage, we do not believe there is a material additional cost of operating on two sites (currently it is estimated to be c.£3m). As part of a broader strategic analysis, we will refine the actual value of the additional costs.
Operational deficit
In order to achieve financial sustainability and deliver c.£60m of gross improvements to support our financial recovery, we need to target upper quartile performance. This will address:
• higher than national average clinical negligence costs due to the high value of historical claims;
• under-recovery of overseas visitors income; • stranded cost pressure due to contractual arrangements with PELC; • our large temporary staffing costs; and • various other operational inefficiency.
6
BHRUT - FRP21
Our FY18/19 forecast outturn of £64.8m underlying deficit will grow to c.£100m deficit by end
FY20/21 in our “do nothing” scenario. This cannot be closed solely through internal efficiency and
productivity improvements and will need new system collaboration and savings for BHRUT to
successfully deliver this plan. Having developed our “do nothing” scenario, it is clear that ongoing internal efficiency improvements (i.e. our “QCIP” programme) activity will not be enough to get us to breakeven by the end of FY20/21. As such, we have worked through the target shape of our cure.
Broadly, our recovery is driven through three areas:
1. Self-help - Ongoing QCIP and productivity improvements, based on sustainable, clinically led change, of c.£36m (5%). This is after £10m per annum for cost of delivery, and includes dedicated resource and a 10% quality and innovation incentive fund (as set out on page 25 );
2. Integrated Care System (“ICS”) - The Trust and the BHR CCGs are committed to working together to realise £60m of real cash savings and to sharing this equally between them to bring both parties back to break-even whilst ensuring we protect the financial integrity and sustainability of NELFT. Priority areas are better system provision and management of Outpatients, Long Term Conditions and Older People; and
3. National - £30m, with £25m assumed from Provider Sustainability Funding (“PSF”) embedded in tariff, and £5m reduction in interest charges.
Financial Plan to FY20/21
The chart to the right sets out our financial plan for the next two years, using our forecast FY18/19 underlying outturn deficit of £64.8m as a base, with a steadily improving run rate through each half year to end FY20/21.
Having set out a high level plan for the next two years, there are a number of next steps for us to now take:
• Detailed work up of the FY19/20 QCIP plan, including monthly financial phasing. In particular, our focus will be on fully worked up, detailed and deliverable plans for the first half of the year;
• Work through detailed a demand and capacity modelling exercise to assure the growth assumptions included in our plan; and
• Bottom up financial planning and agreement of divisional budgets.

BHRUT - FRP21
To date, we have identified key priority themes, supported by a series of enablers. Inevitably,
specific workstreams are at different stages of maturity, however we are clear on the detailed next
steps which we need to take in each area.
Approach to Trustwide Recovery
Our approach starts with a clear top down Case for Change – we need to save £100m in the next two years, at a broadly linear pace, and there is little which is structural preventing this recovery.
The plans, summarised on page 11, start with a recognition in section 1 that we need to embed cultural change, making the most of the Virginia Mason based PrideWay to help avoid the failed delivery attempts in the past.
We have then built up a recovery plan (summarised on page 11) based on:
• Plans for each division (detailed in sections 1 to 6). These are led by the divisional triumvirate and a senior finance manager sponsor, through a process of diagnosing the root cause behind current performance, with a particular focus on loss making service lines and Model Hospital benchmarking.
• This use of evidence rather than eloquence should result in a more robust basis for our financial cure. That in turn is then based on a “what would it take” ambition, rather than a “what do we feel safe committing to” approach to establish a set of initiatives which will turn these specialties around. Each initiative is RAG rated based on Opportunity, Deliverability and Resource (What, How and Who).
• We have then focused on corporate areas (section 7) and Trust wide initiatives (section 8) including non-divisional, non-pay, estates and workforce schemes.
• Following this we have summarised the cost of delivery and Trust enablers (digital strategy, PMO and Finance) (section 9). Cost of delivery is currently estimated at £10m pa and consists of £4m for dedicated resource, £2m contingency for headcount changes and £4m pa for a quality and innovation fund. In addition to this, the capital cost of digital is estimated at £10m over two years. We have not yet refined other capital costs of delivery but these are estimated at £10m pa. This total of £30m capital over two years
compares to a Capital Resource Limit of £10m (£5m pa).
• Income opportunities (section 10) seek to both grow certain specialist services and private patient activity, and reduce low acuity work. These are in addition to the £100m of cost savings, in effect rewarding “cure” rather than encouraging an attempt to “grow out of trouble”.
• Finally we have considered system savings (Sections 11-15) to show the potential opportunity collaboration with our system partners presents across the two year recovery.

BHRUT - FRP21
Summary of key pillars of recovery
10
Note 1: “Other Savings” consist of procurement (£5.5m), estates (£3.8m), CNST, training, overseas patients and EPR savings (together £2.1m), and the unallocated balance of workforce schemes (£2.73m), all of which sit outside divisions. Note 2:Through our Trustwide analysis of Workforce, we have identified opportunities of £5.48m. We have worked through the makeup of these savings with divisions, (i.e. items 2-7 above), and of the £5.48m, £2.74m fall within these divisional lines above. Of the remaining £2.73m, we have held this within “Other Savings”, whilst we work through the detail with the divisions. We have and will continue this Trustwide focus on workforce, as an enabler for divisional delivery as well as to further stretch ourselves and achieve our ambition for workforce improvement.

BHRUT - FRP21
System collaboration is essential to improve patient outcomes, and is also essential to our
achievement of a break-even position by end FY20/21.
Key next steps
I
To date, we have:
- Agreed a joint intent to pursue c£60m of real savings to be shared equally between CCG and BHRUT
- Developed a series of ideas across Older People, Long term conditions and Outpatients with clinical and systems wide involvement
- Started to try to quantify the real savings possible in these three areas plus repatriation opportunities, looking at external cost savings net of estimated cost of alternative pathways. This is still at an early stage off development and is constrained by current data quality issues
- To date, we have identified initiatives with estimated net savings or just over half the £60m target (£33m)
Next steps:
- Work to date is intended to form the basis of selecting two or three areas to pilot and prove concept, process and resource. The aim is to then replicate this across other areas.
- Governance will need to support this new way of joint working
- Delivery teams will need to be properly resourced
- Our aim remains to start delivering benefit from 1 April 2019

Delivery teams We are here
We have been focused on working with our system partners as part of the ICS to deliver sustainable pathway redesign and system change, in the interest of better patient care and outcomes as well as benefiting the Trust’s financial position by c.£30m by FY20/21 (as assumed in our financial modelling).
System drivers of deficit
We now better understand the key drivers behind our system deficit, which at a high level comprise of:
• Underfunding of our system historically, of over £40m when considering primary care co-commissioning budgets and CCG allocations;
• Primary care capacity constraints, specifically FTE GPs and nurses at low levels. We have consistently had the highest number of referrals (per 1000) into secondary care of the 12 CCGs in NCEL; and
• A significant cohort of the population from Eastern Europe who do not historically utilise primary care and present at acute hospital.
Our joint ambition
Through our work, we have agreed with our CCG to speak with one voice on our approach to the system challenge, along the lines of the following joint statement:
“BHRUT and the BHR CCGs are committed to working together to realise £60m of real cash savings and to sharing this equally between them to bring both parties back to break-even. The scope of the savings will be all areas of joint spend (i.e. where both parties have income/expenditure) and will need the parties to work together on both how the savings are realised and how the rewards are shared between them through contractual mechanisms. This programme of work will be achieved whilst ensuring we protect the financial integrity and sustainability of NELFT.”
Our ambition is to be amongst the first ICS’s to deliver real cash savings nationally

Next steps

We are committed to delivering this strategic financial plan
We need to deliver c.£100m savings by FY20/21 to achieve financial sustainability.
Based on the Trust’s financial model and the advised inflation rates, known and estimated unknown cost pressures, we forecast a deficit challenge of c.£100m if no further action is taken.
Based on our work to date, and after taking into account of investments required to deliver savings, consider that we need c.£40m Trust savings, c.£30m system savings, and achieve £30m PSF and national funding.
This plan maps out our progress to date and areas of saving that we are focusing on to deliver savings within our control.
We have performed detailed diagnostics across our organisation, both in clinical divisions as well as corporate functions, to identify financial opportunities which we can deliver ourselves.
These indicate that we can deliver c.£40m of net benefit across the next two years, with further work to be done in Q4 FY18/19 to make them deliverable.
We need to continue to work with our system partners to improve patient outcomes and support our financial recovery.
We recognise that traditional QCIP within our four walls will not be sufficient to close our financial gap.
We have invested significant time and resource to work closer with our system partners, and build strong relationships which historically have not existed.
This has resulted in three key pathways to be focused upon, namely; outpatients, long term conditions and frail & elderly.
To successfully deliver this ambitious plan, we have and continue to address several enablers.
Additional resource: the level of resource available to deliver our plan is insufficient. We will continue to strategically invest.
Governance framework: we will need a best in class PMO, which will support the Trust to deliver this FRP.
Operational engagement: we need engaged clinical and operational leads throughout the development of this plan.
System change needs to take place to release significant savings from system collaborations
We will continue to work with our system partners to develop a clear system vision and governance structure to continue to focus on pathway redesign and to coordinate regulatory messages.
We would like to work closely with our system partners to rapidly develop a shared system view and coordinated delivery structure to deliver the system schemes, align clinical models and act together in the interest of the system.

BHR have amongst the
lowest absolute GPs in
FTE terms in North East
London and
correspondingly the
highest GP to Patient
Ratios.
In addition, Barking and
Dagenham and Redbridge
both have more patients
per practice nurse than the
London and national
average, whilst Havering
have more than the
national average. This will
be contributing both to
reduced access to Primary
Care and an increased
pressure on GPs.

Primary Care InvestmentInvestment in primary care has varied across NEL. Most CCGs are struggling to invest upfront to support transformational change. There are differences in core contract income to practices (often based on take up of enhanced services/QOF and numbers of PMS/APMS practices) and the ability of CCGs to invest in local incentive schemes. This table is a high level summary of income to practices in North East London:
Notes:1. Based on 17/18 apart from LIS investment 18/192. BHR CCGs LIS investment includes primary care provider development monies
Apart from Tower Hamlets, figures on core income do not include full QOF payments (include aspiration not achievement). Will be update to include this at end June when known so under reporting in all areas apart from TH.

Caveat:
B&D, Redbridge and Havering CCGs Financial Values were taken from the 'BHR CHS Contracts 201819' data sheet supplied by Sharif Ahmed. As the NELFT contract value was not divided into services it was not possible to split out the value of the Therapy services, so therapy services are included in this value.
Tower Hamlets CCG financial values were provided by Jig Tailor at a total contract value for each of the 3 elements of the Community Alliance Contract. Therapy services are included in this value.
City and Hackney CCG financial figures were provided by Amit Shah of the CCG and include all community contracts. Therapy services are included in this value.
Waltham Forest CCG financial values were provided by Eisen Daley of WF CCG and is for Community Block Contracts only. Therapy services are included in this value.

Outpatient Activity
This table, extracted from a much
larger document, shows that
BHRUT discharge patients at the
first outpatient appointment at a
rate equivalent to their peers
(although there is further
opportunity as shown on the next

This remains consistent when we
also include discharges from all
outpatient first activity included
OPPROCFA.
BHRUT New:FUP Ratios are also
the same as their peer group.

Setting.
End of LifeThe BHR CCGs spent £21m/Year admitting people >60 who go on to die in hospital.
This covers 2,195 Pts who had a total of 4,948 Non-Elective Admissions in total
(2.25/Pt). This increases to £38m when the total number of patients dying in
hospital at either Barts or BHRUT are included.
However, there were 203 BHR Pts that had 4+ non-elective admissions in the last
12 months of life (see below) totalling 1,456 admissions in total. This increases to
418 patients when all pts dying at Barts and BHRUT are included.

OLDER PEOPLE PROGRAMME
OVERALL OBJECTIVEProjects Narrative
The previous Health 1000 programme showed the benefit of a multidisciplinary approach covering GPs, therapies and community nursing and geriatrician input to patients in Nursing Homes across 4 Homes and we are seeking to extend this to all 39 Nursing Homes in BHR although the new model may not include a geriatrician.
Identifying patients approaching the End of Life, identifying their preferred place of death and assisting them to remain in their normal place of care for as long as possible. In addition, we will provide system-wide coordinated planning and care to people in EOL. Currently the average number of admissions in the last 12 months is 2.5 per patient with a cost of ~£21m per year. Also focusing on Hospice Prescribing. This needs to link to MDT Programme for LTC Patients and will utilise and enhance the existing services delivered by NELFT and BHRUT and must also work with LAS.
To reduce the overall number of non-elective
admissions per day across the BHR System by 12/Day (10/day for BHRUT). This will bring the BHR System to the North Central & East
London average admission rate for Older People (>65) and realise
a Gross Saving of £10.5m/year (3,650
Admissions at £2.85k/Admission) as
well as freeing up 26,280 Bed Days (72 Beds in Total) at an
average 7.2 Days LoS per admission.
In addition, we want to reduce the % of
predictable deaths occurring in an acute
setting from the current 45% to 35% or below
and reduce the number of non-elective
admissions for patients at End of Life from 2.5 to below 1.5 in the last
12 months of life.
Working with the London Ambulance Service (LAS) to maximise the use of Alternative Care Pathways (such as routing some patients to UTCs etc) and keeping patients at home. This is part of the Urgent & Emergency Care programme and sits under the responsibility of the Unplanned Care Programme Board rather than the Older People Transformation Board but is provided here because it is expected this programme will have a significant impact on Older People.
Integrated Nursing Home
Service
End of Life Programme
Early identification and management of patients at risk of falling and provide multi-disciplinary support to avoid primary and recurrent falls. In addition, we will involve voluntary and community sector to provide early prevention interventions. Currently BHR admit circa 800 patients non-electively per year following a fall at an average cost per admission of £4,180. There is felt to be stretch in this programme as many patients who fall do not end up being coded as a fall for example being recorded as a break or contusion). This will also need to link to the emerging Falls Strategy and will be informed following the current audit. This will consider early intervention and the role of the VCS, Social Care and Community Pharmacy.
This project will focus on supporting older peoplewho have arrived at hospital to avoid an admission and to return home to their normal place of care through enhanced support from the existing Community Treatment Team (CTT) plus input from specialist medics. This may also include effective routing of patients direct to rehab and step down beds rather than into an acute bed. Programme due to start in Dec 18 including 'in-reach' into Ambulance Queues, Geriatric Support in A&E and coordinated working between NELFT CTT Therapists and the Nurse Led Frail Older People Advice & Liaison (FOPAL) Service run by BHRUT. This will include increased usage and availability of Hot Clinics.

Pressure Ulcers
BHRUT (and most likely Barts but evidence is less available) have substantial numbers of patients arriving with Community Acquired Pressure Ulcers. There is an estimated annual cost of managing these of ~£2.5m and it is expected that for a 10% investment this could be halved. This will link to and will eventually merge with the SIgnificant 7 Programme.

Narrative
LTC PROGRAMMEOVERALL OBJECTIVE
Projects Narrative
To close the prevalence gaps for key LTCs (Diabetes, AF, COPD, Asthma) by at least 10% to improve long-term
outcomes for patients.
To proactively manage Pts with LTCs and reduce the number of non-elective
admissions in key specialties acting as a proxy for LTC admissions (Cardiology,
Respiratory, Endocrinology, Vascular Surgery and
Nephrology). Reducing non-elective admissions to the
North Central & East London average will mean a 1,500
admission per year reduction.
To move more care Out of Hospital for patients and
provide this in the community using a Multi-Disciplinary
Team approach. The aspiration is to reduce the
hospital based activity in key specialties to bring this down to the NCEL Average meaning a reduction of 24,500 OPFA, OPFUP and OPPROC across
Cardiology, Respiratory, Endocrinology,
Rheumatology, Vascular Surgery and Nephrology.
Whole System Clinical Pathway
Development
Prevention LIS To invest in proactively identifying patients at risk of or who may already have developed one of our key focus LTCs.
Coordinated support for patients with LTCs incorporating Specialist Community Nursing, Secondary Care Support and Education and Primary Care input. This will also focus on Patient Activation, Health Coaching and Health Psychology and will involve working with the Voluntary & Community Sector. This will also include Secondary Care education and support for Primary Care clinicians and support for patients with multiple co-morbidities.
Primary Care Long Term
Conditions (LTC) Local Incentive Scheme (LIS)
Funding Primary Care to provide enhanced support to patients with Diabetes, AF, COPD, CKD and other key diseases including extra care clinics and achievement of recommended treatment targets. This also includes focusing on appropriate use of Advice & Guidance to support patients with LTCs Out of Hospital.

be fully operational
by Q4 19/20.
Assumes excess non-elective admissions compared to NCEL Average for four main specialties drop by 50% plus 10%
reduction in excess OPFA/OPFUP activity (after removing impact of Improving Referrals Together Programme) with a
further 25% and 10% respectively in Yr 2.
Assumes a further 30% reduction on the excess OPFA/OPFUP activity compared to the NCEL Average associated with key specialties related to LTCs spread over the two years after removing the Improving Referrals Together impact plus an
impact on a number of Non-Elective Admissions.
Narrative Narrative
Assumes an average £2,720 for a non-elective admission, an average OPFA of £125 and an average OPFUP of £85. Reprovision estimated at 30%. Investment for Long

Coordinated support for patients with LTCs incorporating Specialist Community Nursing, Secondary Care Support and Education and Primary Care input. This will also focus on Patient Activation, Health Coaching and Health Psychology and will involve working with the Voluntary & Community Sector. This will also include Secondary Care education and support for Primary Care clinicians and support for patients with multiple co-morbidities.
Primary Care Long Term
Conditions (LTC) Local Incentive Scheme (LIS)
Funding Primary Care to provide enhanced support to patients with Diabetes, AF, COPD, CKD and other key diseases including extra care clinics and achievement of recommended treatment targets. This also includes focusing on appropriate use of Advice & Guidance to support patients with LTCs Out of Hospital.

In line with the aspirations within North East London
(NEL) we aim to reduce the amount of Outpatient
activity by 30% overall. In the medium term (to
2020/21) our aspiration is to reduce activity within the BHR System to the North Central & East
London across the main specialties where we are an outlier. This would lead to a
reduction in activity equating to more than
£20m/year.
Concurrently this project also supports the achievement of
constitutional standards (specifically Referral to
Treatment (RTT) and Diagnostics) and the
repatriation of work from high cost settings where
delivery of care within the BHR System offers a
substantial cost saving whilst delivering care
nearer (in most cases) to the patient's normal place
of care.
Assumes an average cost of £125.41 (a blended assumption across the 13 specialties combining OPFA, OPFUP, OPPROCFA and OPPROCFU). Reprovision
costs assumed at 30% of the savings and includes on-going costs of the Integrated Approach to Referral Management programme (see project below).
This is an enabler for the Improving Referrals Together Programme and the New Models of Care for Outpatients Programme.
Assumes an average cost of £125.41 (a blended assumption across the 13 specialties combining OPFA, OPFUP, OPPROCFA and OPPROCFU). Reprovision costs based on local tariffs that are yet to be agreed. Assumed start Q2 19/20.
An assumption that £35m of activity over the 2 Year Period is repatriated from high cost settings with a net reduction in cost of 15% for the system ramping up
from Q1 19/20. This may include a joint review of outsourcing costs to the Independent Sector to realise further benefits to BHRUT.

Improving Referrals
Together (IRT)
This project includes both the realisation of benefits from Phase 1 and an expanded Phase 2 for the IRT Programme to cover more specialties and would also cover an increasing effectiveness and access to Advice & Guidance. This would work in tandem with many of the other projects detailed below to deliver a reduction. This includes expanding the number and usage of Single Points of Access (SPAs).
Assumes that 20% of the excess Outpatient activity compared to the NCEL Average (10% in Year 2) will be
reduced with half of this being reprovided in secondary care via Virtual Clinics and further reprovision occurring in
Primary Care. Assumed start Q2 19/20.
Repatriation of Care from High Cost Settings
The freeing up of capacity within BHRUT will be utilised to repatriate higher acuity work from high cost settings resulting in a net financial saving to the BHR System. This programme will need to continue to respect Patient Choice where expressed. Narrative
Expansion to Spending
Money Wisely Programme
To reduce the growing demand associated with C2C referrals whilst ensuring patient care is not compromied and excessive burdens are not placed on primary care to re-refer. This programme will focus on the Top 20 pathways (ie referral from Speciality A to Specialty B) as a priority and will aim to better define when a C2C referral is required clinically rather than simply shunt activity back to Primary Care for re-referral.

New Models of Care for
Outpatients
This is a joint programme between BHRUT and the Primary Care Federations across BHR to reduce Outpatient Care provided in a hospital setting. This supports the North East London Programme to reduce Outpatient demand by moving care Out of Hospital and closer to home. This will involve such things as Virtual Clinics and also ensuring that patients are promptly discharged at the end of their episode of care.

This assumes that 85% of the reduction comes from BHRUT and 15% from Barts. This assumes there is no reprovision cost as the activity will not occur.
Activity assumed to be returned from the Independent Sector (with a net reduction of ~40% in cost) or from other NHS Providers with a (small and possibly disappearing) MFF impact to give an overall 15% system saving. At present the impact on Barts has not been assessed but is not likely to be material.
Assumes 85% of the reduction will come from BHRUT with 15% from Barts. 20% of the reprovision cost to go to BHRUT for education and A&G supporting Primary Care with 80% to Primary Care to fund the Integrated Approach to Referral Management.
No additional costs associated with this scheme as they are included in the above.
This assumes that all of the income reduction comes from BHRUT but also that 100% of the reprovision cost goes to BHRUT. These assumptions may need to be revisited if activity needs to be undertaken in Primary Care as this may impact on the reprovision costs.
This assumes that 85% of the reduction comes from BHRUT and 15% from Barts. This assumes there is no reprovision cost and that activity is not shunted back to Primary Care for re-referral.
