1 INTRODUCTION
NHS Lambeth Clinical Commissioning Group (CCG) comprises 46 member GP Practices organised
into three localities.
The NHS Lambeth CCG Governing Body is responsible for ensuring that the CCG has appropriate
arrangements in place to exercise its functions effectively, efficiently and economically and in
accordance with the CCG Constitution and our principles of good governance. Membership of the
Governing Body is drawn from our Member Practices, appointed individuals with statutory roles and
nominees from our key Lambeth partners.
The Governing Body is supported by the Lambeth Clinical Network. The purpose of the Clinical
Network is to provide the CCG Board members with sound clinical advice on commissioning care
services, clinical pathways and best practice. The Clinical Network consists of care and clinical
“subject matter experts” from within Lambeth including GPs, practice managers, nurses, pharmacists,
opticians and social care colleagues.
This report sets out how NHS Lambeth CCG is performing against its agreed objectives under the
leadership of the NHS Lambeth Clinical Commissioning Governing Body. It is a tool for providing
assurance to the Governing Body that objectives are being delivered or, where performance is behind
plan, that mitigating actions are in place to address performance improvement.
The 2016/17 Business Plan sets out NHS Lambeth CCG’s corporate objectives. Later is this report,
NHS Lambeth CCG’s Programme Boards and Enabler Work streams report on delivery of their
2016/17 objectives. The Integrated Governance and Performance Report provides a consolidate
picture of delivery of NHS Lambeth CCG’s corporate objectives.

2 EXECUTIVE SUMMARIES
2.1 CCG ASSURANCE – four domains and six clinical priorities
2.1.1 CCG Assurance Framework 2016/17
For 2016/17, NHS England introduced a new Improvement and Assessment Framework for CCGs
(CCG IAF). This replaced the 2015/16 CCG Assurance Framework. In the Government’s Mandate to
NHS England, this new framework takes an enhanced and more central place in the overall
arrangements for public accountability of the NHS.
The Five Year Forward View, NHS Planning Guidance and the Sustainability and Transformation
Plans (STPs) for each area are all driven by the pursuit of the “triple aim”: (i) improving the health and
wellbeing of the whole population; (ii) better quality for all patients, through care redesign; and (ii)
better value for taxpayers in a financially sustainable system. The new framework aligns key
objectives and priorities, including the way NHS England assesses and manages partnership working
with CCGs.
The 2016/17 Assurance Framework covers health priority indicators located in four domains:
Domain 1: Better Health: this section looks at how the CCG is contributing towards
improving the health and wellbeing of its population;
Domain 2: Better Care: this principally focuses on care redesign, performance of
constitutional standards and outcomes, including priority clinical areas; Maternity, Dementia,
Cancer, Learning Disabilities, Diabetes and Mental Health.
Domain 3: Sustainability: this section looks at how the CCG is remaining in financial
balance, and is securing good value for patients and the public from the money it spends;
Domain 4: Leadership: this domain assesses the quality of the CCG’s leadership, the quality
of care plans, how the CCG works with its partners and the governance arrangements that
the CCG has in place to ensure that it acts with probity, for example in managing conflicts of
interest.
The diagram below summarises the framework:
3
The CCG Improvement and Assessment Framework includes a set of 57 indicators across 29 areas.
It is intended that the indicators will be reported quarterly. Not all indicators will be based on data
available each quarter: some indicators will be refreshed quarterly, some will use moving averages to
provide a more up-to-date view and some will only be refreshed annually. Baseline data for each of
the indicators will be available on NHS Lambeth’s website in September.
NHS England has a statutory duty to conduct an annual performance assessment of every CCG.
CCG’s will therefore receive a rating against the four domains, Better Health, Better Care,
Sustainability and Leadership. The rating for this section will be described as follows:
Outstanding
Good
Limited Assurance
Required Improvement
The six clinical priorities will have independent moderation and will be given one of the following ratings:
Top performing
Performing well
Needs improvement
Greatest need for improvement
Ratings will be published on the My NHS website.
https://www.nhs.uk/Service-Search/performance/search
Clinical Priorities 2016/17 baseline assessment
Baseline assessment ratings for 2016/17 have been formally published for all 6 Clinical Priority areas. Detailed information can be found on the My NHS website via the link above. NHS Lambeth CCG is performing well in four out of six of the clinical priorities with overall assessment rating details by Clinical Area below.
Clinical Priority 2016/17 Baseline Assessment
Dementia Top Performing
Diabetes Performing Well
Learning Disabilities Needs Improvement
Cancer Needs Improvement
Mental Health Performing Well
Maternity Performing Well
The CCG continues to ensure that the performance of each of these priorities is embedded in its reporting through the relevant Programme Boards, continuing to build on the areas where the CCG is performing well and making progress against plans where further work is required.

Guy’s & St Thomas’ Hospital (GSTT) – March 2017 CQRG commentary The information provided in this section is a summary of discussions at CQRG meeting in February 2017. This meeting is attended by senior Trust representatives, including the Medical and Nursing Directors, Clinical Commissioners and Directors of Quality from Lambeth and Southwark Clinical Commissioning Groups (CCGs). A progress update was provided in relation to Gastroenterology re-audit results. Trust reps reported on a number of changes made to the pathway including; the appointment of a Virtual Clinic Coordinator, development of a Standard Operating Procedure (SOP), the move from a 2 week to a 1 week turnaround target for outcome letters sent to patients and their GP and the development of a register to monitor delays. The re-audit looked at a sample of 50 virtual clinics (VCs) from Dec 16 – Feb 17 to ensure that the changes had produced significant improvement in the process and that VCs are processed and “outcomed” in a timely manner with letters sent out. The second aim of the audit was to monitor lateness. 3 letters were randomly selected from 50 clinics. 142 patients were sampled and 113 of them had letters. It was agreed that the Trust would look in to the reasons why 20% of letters were missing. 9 letters were not due to be sent and 3 were found to be genuinely missing (as the patient was due to be seen in Outpatient clinic). This is not in line with the SOP and will be clarified with staff. Learning, candour and accountability CQC recommendations - The Trust has completed a gap analysis on death review recommendations. The analysis indicated that only recommendation 7 was applicable; “Provider organisations and commissioners must work together to review and improve their local approach following the death of people receiving care from their services. Provider boards should ensure that national guidance is implemented at a local level, so that deaths are identified, screened and investigated, when appropriate and that learning from deaths is shared and acted on. Emphasis must be given to engaging families and carers”. The Trust looked at evidence of engaging with families during investigation of complaints and SIs and assessed that they are doing well on this. There is also evidence of complaints leading to SIs. However, the Trust has questioned whether it is doing enough to engage families in the development of Terms of Reference and if they are fully reflecting their concerns. The Trust acknowledges that it has more to do to manage evidence more effectively, so that staff can upload evidence - a plan is in place to resolve this. An in depth review across all specialties on death reviews has been completed and the Trust is clear on where they need to be. Each Division has mortality and morbidity arrangements with criteria in place to review death and some work to develop overarching governance. The strength of these arrangements varies across the organisation and GSTT will need to strengthen processes against the structured template and involvement of families/ carers in death reviews. A Trustwide Mortality Review Group will be launched imminently. The group will be clear on expectations for Specialties not using mortality data to triangulate systematic approaches to identify learning. Recognised gaps in data are around identifying deaths occurring outside of the hospital. Terms of Reference are still to be established and the implementation of further guidance from the National Quality Board relating to learning from deaths will take place. Mortality and risk adjusted mortality scores are good, so the Trust is well placed to meet the requirements in the National guidelines.

Patients ‘lost to follow up’ - Trust reps provided an update on the management of patients ‘lost to follow up’ at Evelina Childrens Hospital. The Trust now has more confidence in how patients are managed. A follow up waiting list has been instituted, with reports on this completed weekly. Regular audits are also being done. An audit has been completed on a further 3000 patients - no harm was identified in any of these patients. The sample now represents 10% of the cohort. The Trust is now planning to look prospectively at reducing the backlog - Commissioners requested a quarterly review of this. Elderly care - key challenges centred around; • ED divert functionality, which was noted to be working better in Lambeth than Southwark • Delayed transfers of care - recognising there are insufficient numbers of placements • Sustainability of workforce (medical and nursing) – creating some vulnerability around the quality of care that can be delivered • Location of the ‘dying patient’ and the need to get more people to their preferred place of death • Sustainability of the National Dementia Strategy • Development of locality older persons services, to deliver care closer home Trust reps reported that older patients are being managed well in ED by ‘age sensitive’ clinical teams. The number of complex patients is higher than it has ever been and the complexity of needs is changing. Patients over 70 years that require a multi-disciplinary assessment, receive an assessment within 24 hours by the Specialist Therapy Assessment Team. There are no known concerns about the management of elderly patients in ED and no SIs related to older people in ED have been reported. The Trust is achieving safe staffing levels on all acute directorate wards including elderly care wards. Trust reps reported that there are robust arrangements in place to ensure that correct levels of staffing and resilience is achieved. End of Life Care - The Trust acknowledged that communication and specifically communication of PEACE (Proactive Elderly Advance Care Planning) documents was a weakness. PEACE documents are not uniformly being transferred out. DNAR forms are also not being consistently transferred and work is needed to improve this. The Trust will develop a QIP to address this. Trust reps reported some difficulties with using Coordinate my Care (CmC) as it is a duplication of recording. Compliance with the National Dementia Strategy – The Trust continues to adhere to the national dementia strategy standards with a named Consultant Trust clinical lead for dementia. All staff receive Level 1 or enhanced Level 2 dementia training Use of anti-psychotic drugs is low, however dementia screening has been a challenge to sustain, as is assessment within 72 hours for emergency admissions - this is due to rapid staff turnover and a lack of visibility about the added value of the assessment by front line staff.

Kings College Hospital (KCH) – March 2017 CQRG & data commentary The information provided in this section is a summary of discussions from the March CQRG meeting. This meeting is attended by senior Trust managers, (including the Medical and Nursing Directors), Clinical Commissioners and Directors of Quality from Lambeth, Southwark and Bromley Clinical Commissioning Groups (CCGs). Radiology Trust Action Plan and service modeling The Trust presented CQRG members with a briefing paper on the suspension of the radiology trainee programme. Trust reps reported on the actions undertaken to date and future plans in response to Health Education England (HEE) findings and the subsequent suspension of radiology trainee programme for years 1-3, leading to a loss of 61 trainee sessions. King’s Radiology service had also provided some commentary to HEE in respect of the accuracy of the initial report findings. A final agreed version of the report was published and is in the public domain. The main issues cited by HEE were:
• Patient safety in respect of inpatient and ED reporting and trainee supervision. • Behaviors that undermine professional confidence, performance or self-esteem.
HEE made the following recommendations: • All trainees are supernumerary and need to be overseen by a consultant. • Supervision support needed to be co-located with the trainees
The Trust acknowledged the impact the loss of trainee session would have on how workloads are managed across the department, and believed that the recommended actions were in part due to new clarity in respect of the interpretation of ‘supervision’. As a consequence it is likely that a number of Trusts will need to review the way they are working. The Radiology team are now looking at internal team building and new ways of working to achieve broader work sustainability. They will also look at ways of working with trainees and how training can be delivered better. It was also noted that the location of CT scanners has an impact on workflow and a named Consultant will be physically present in the department to give direct and indirect supervision. The Trust reported that they had undertaken a review of all incidents and were confident that the findings did not substantiate the HEE view that patient safety had been at risk. The Trust was able to evidence that there were 718 adverse incidents (AIs) between 01/01/2016 and 02/03/2017 relating to radiology; of which 5 related to radiological reporting discrepancies where no patient harm resulted. HEE has advised that the Trust will need to ensure the following: - All sessions are to be consultant led and STs will have a named consultant to go to for support. The Trust advised of the following impacts resulting from the suspension:
• Inability to provide the current on call rota tier of trainees overnight • Replacing the 61 sessions – these cannot be readily covered by locums and will have an impact on specialist reporting • There are some potential risks in terms of outsourcing CTs to a third party supplier, but the Trust is working with the supplier to ensure that communication flows and out of hours calls are effectively managed.
A report on Consultant behaviours and culture will be provided by HEE under separate cover. The Trust outlined next steps as follows:
• Go live with Out of Hours service whilst trainees are still in post to test strategies and business continuity over the next 2 weeks • Review of sustainability and the impact on on-call and overall service provision.
14
The review will take account of the financial implications resulting from the loss of HEE funding (as this is unlikely to be sustainable in the long term). • Carry out a workforce review.
Patient experience report Q2 and Q3 2016/17 and Staff Survey 2016 results It was acknowledged that the results of the staff survey were significantly poor; however it was also noted to be much more representative this year with an increased response rate. Over 3,000 staff completed the survey compared to 800 in the previous year. Whilst performance was poor the survey results also provided opportunities for improvement. Staff responses were discussed in detail at the Trust Senior Leadership Group. ‘Engagement’ and ‘visibility’ will be a priority, but there was also recognition within the organisation that progress has been made since the time of the survey being undertaken.
• In relation to leadership, plans are being taken forward to ensure that Board members take on the responsibility of champion for specific areas identified for improvement.
• It was noted that scores from BME nurses were higher in each of the areas, but there is some indication of discrimination and work related stress. A deep dive has been requested to understand these issues and enable the appropriate remedial actions to be undertaken.
• A new HR post has been agreed, which will have responsibility for inclusivity; the Trust has also sought additional support from NHSi. Plans are underway to re-launch the BME network.
• The relationship with line managers was recognised to be poor and in response the Trust is undertaking work to ensure mechanisms are in place to strengthen relationships between staff and their line managers.
• The first Health and Well-being events have been held at PRUH and DH sites, which received positive feedback from staff.
• Healthcare Assistant and Nurse fora have been established to look at what works well and areas requiring improvement.
• This review is being carried out in a systematic way and will also work with admin and clerical teams.
• It was recognised that staff morale and service user experience are intrinsically linked - as a result the Trust is exploring whether there may be some benefit in aligning work with this staff group and work undertaken to improve outpatient experience.
Complaints The Trust reported 40% compliance on complaints responded to within 25 days. All legacy complaints will be closed by the end of March. Each complaint is being looked at by the department it belongs to. To ensure continued improvement there is now a requirement for every lead and clinical division to respond in a timely way. Cancer The Trust is undertaking a clinical review of 100 day RCAs and has invited the Cancer Alliance to attend. All RCAs of 100 day breaches are being picked up via Cancer Locality Meetings. It was acknowledged that there is a lack of a robust cancer strategy and there is further complexity added through having multiple sites; as a result there is a need to strengthen the process for MDT working across cancer teams. The main themes in delays include; patient choice and delays in diagnostic pathways due to complexity, capacity etc. The Trust has proposed a number of actions in response to the National Cancer Patient Experience Survey results. There has been an establishment of a director led Cancer Delivery
15
Group to manage delivery of the patient experience action plan. A Head of Nursing post has been appointed to provide dedicated leadership to Cancer Services. In addition the Trust has successfully appointed to the Cancer Lead Nurse post. In regards to the 2 week access target throughout the first two quarters of 2016/17 performance was good with 94.39% for Q1 and 95.13% for Q2. There has been deterioration in Q3 performance at (89.56%) however this has improved in Q4 (92.5%). Changes in the pathways were the key drivers of poor performance. The Trust has performed relatively well against the 62 day standard and are reviewing plans for ensuring continuous improvement and sustainability. Consideration is being given to putting on additional sessions to address pressures in some clinics such as breast and dermatology. There are some capacity issues within direct access endoscopy and this potentially impacted on overall capacity. There are mechanisms in place for tracking patients along the pathway from day zero. It is intended that the findings will inform the Trust action plan. Work is also being undertaken to drive down waits, with the initial focus being on urology moving to seven days for first appointments. This will positively impact on compliance against the two week wait standard. It is intended that diagnostic capacity will be included in the review process. Month 10 Trust Performance Report Commissioners noted the increase in the number of E-Coli bacteraemia, with 7 new cases reported in January, 6 at the DH and 1 at the PRUH with 115 cases YTD. Trust reps reported that the incidence of E-Coli is above the target threshold of (75 cases) and the final target for 17/19 is not yet confirmed. The Trust will work at a system level to pick up cases pre admission and have already identified some clinical drivers for the increased level of incidence; this included catheter care and the need to ensure that these could be effectively managed by Community Nursing teams and Nursing Homes where required. The Trust had noted that there are a number of admissions occurring out of hours for blocked catheters and that was a need to ensure that there is appropriate provision in place, to ensure there is sufficient capacity and capability in the community to prevent unnecessary unplanned admissions and emergency attendances.

St Georges CQRG Commentary – March 2017 The information provided in this section is a summary of discussions from the March CQRG meeting. This meeting is attended by senior Trust managers, (including the Medical and Nursing Directors), Clinical Commissioners and Directors of Quality from Wandsworth, Sutton & Merton Clinical Commissioning Groups (CCGs). Duplicate Summaries The Trust noted there has been an ongoing issue with duplicate discharge summaries being sent to GPs. This related to some rules implemented within the IT system 6 years ago whereby discharge summaries were to be sent 4 hours after completion and another rule a year ago whereby the patient had to physically leave the building before the discharge summary was sent. It was believe that these 2 rules were contradicting each other. The 4 hour rule has now been removed so GPs should not be receiving any more duplicates. The process is not the same across all departments and can be sent via 3 different routes; therefore GPs were asked to report back if still experiencing problems. The Trust will from April be compliant with the Royal College headings for discharge summaries. Paediatric Phlebotomy The Trust report showed the service is successful and there has been good improvement with good feedback from GP colleagues. Friends and Family test uptake only has a 10% response rate but the Trust will look at how this can be quickly improved. HEP B heel prick for babies model is being developed by commissioners and Trust and a possible service to be carried out in the near future. Children ‘not bled’ has dropped to 2 a week. CQRG SI Process The process for escalating Make a Difference (MAD) alerts believed to be SI and the general SI process have been agreed. Turnaround times of (10 working days) have been added to the initial processes. SI flow management and escalation to CQRG process was agreed including those identified during the RCA process, also with a 10 day turnaround.

Following on from the CQC’s national review of deaths across NHS Trusts in England, a work programme will be planned internally to look at the systems in place at the Trust to learn from deaths in line with the recommendations.
National Cancer Experience Survey
The Trust presented the results of the June 2015 survey released in 2016. Nationally there were positive findings such as better care and support despite low numbers of CNS’. The Trust also noted improvements in family members’ involvement and care plans.
SGH were ranked 118th out of 140 nationally and came 21st out of 32 in London, the Trust acknowledge that there are no designated cancer wards therefore staff working with patients are not necessarily specifically cancer trained. CNS input and poor access to CNS was considered to be part of the issue. The Trust is working with Macmillan cancer support workers as part of an 18 month pilot using support workers to free up the CNS time allowing CNS more access to patients and as such improvements have been seen in assessments. A 6 month report of the progress of this project will be presented to the Trust board.
17
Evaluation of CNS working and patient support is still poor and needs to be revisited, the Trust have no cross cover with only 1 CNS supporting areas with a high numbers of patients.
Funding for 2 CNS posts (Gynaecology and Lung) and some admin support was provided in 2016/17 as part of CQUIN to improve CNS provision. There had been difficulty appointing due to non-recurrent nature of funding. Commissioners were concerned they were not informed of the status of recruitment and remain concerned about the inadequate level of CNS staff within the Trust. The Trust are reviewing the cover of CNS posts.
A recent NHSE assurance meeting highlighted an issue around how staff work together and particularly where patients are being treated in a day case setting whether they were getting the support they required.
Trust Board Quality Report
There is a significant problem with staff turnover, appraisals, retention of staff and morale. A Trust benchmarking committee has found that in all areas except for turnover St George’s was below other Trusts and as such they are targeting areas to improve.
The percentage of staff that would refer a friend or relative dropped to 26% between Q1-2, Trust believe this is due to the CQC rating released during that time. The Trust are undertaking a huge re-engagement piece of work to improve staff morale.

SLAM CQRG Commentary – March 2017
The information provided in this section is a summary of discussions from the most recent CQRG meeting in March. This meeting is attended by senior Trust managers, (including the Medical and Nursing Directors), Clinical Commissioners and Directors of Quality from Lewisham, Southwark, Croydon and Lambeth Clinical Commissioning Groups (CCGs). Physical Health The Trust presented a report on a thematic review of physical health. The paper highlighted some challenges; life expectancy is not improving and the mortality gap is worsening. SLaM representation at decision-making level influenced the NHSE national CQUIN scheme for physical health. Each CAG has a physical health lead allowing corporate led work streams to progress. eObs is the Trust’s portable digital platform for documenting patient observations via a handheld tablet device. Physical Health monitoring tools for fluid balance, food intake, blood glucose, weight/BMI/waist circumference, neurological observations are to be tested and launched on eObs at Ladywell in April, and Trust wide later. The speed of system development with eObs had not progressed at the pace first anticipated due to contractual and technical platform development delays in adapting to SLaM protocols. It was noted there has been no reconsideration of the SMI registers for some time and it is a priority to align the Trust’s registers with the GPs registers. Commissioners agreed the need to work on engaging with the 4 boroughs CCG GP mental health leads to commence shared care protocols and clinical information sharing on and develop a work stream. It should be clear who is responsible for a patient’s physical health to ensure consistency. Monitoring pods allow service users to take ownership of a condition. They can measure BMI and blood pressure and can be used whenever they want. The plan is for the measurements to go straight onto EPJS. Previous incidents, including a preventing future death report, related to diabetes and communication back to GPs. The PFD report is to be taken to a future board meeting once the SCR is finalised. CQC Update A summary was provided by the Trust. There was a planned re-inspection of the Acute CAG by the CQC with 1 weeks’ notice. The feedback was positive; however the greatest area of concern is the domain of safety. ePJS had been transformed over time and was in place the week CQC came to inspect, and data is now automatically pulled through. The Trust’s physical care of patients was good with good practice including support for smoking cessation. CQC also approved of the reorganisation of the pathway into a single CAG and the good practice in staffing issues. Significant differences were found for safeguarding. The Lambeth teams demonstrated particularly good safeguarding; however safeguarding referrals at the Bethlem were not always reported and recorded. The Trust is trying to make this more robust. CQC suggested individual safes in patient’s rooms as it is hard to keep possessions safe. The CQC highlighted there was scope to improve communication between wards and community mental health teams. CQC will return in 6 months to inspect the community teams. Quarter 3 Lesson’s Learned Report The Trust presented the Q3 report. Discrepancies in local procedures are identified and the Trust has started to be consistent in embedding them to bring about change. The report is seen by the board and they are able to see if individual actions have been taken, however they have not had a good way historically to see if actions are working.
19
Commissioners requested a deep dive on the SI management process within the Trust in October/November. Commissioners requested more information to understand how minor incidents are addressed and how learning is shared. Quarter 3 Complaints Report The trust presented the Q3 report. The main reason for overdue responses was a lack of timely investigation. The Trust is doing a lot of work on this, including following up overdue responses. Quarter 3 Patient Experience Report The Trust presented the Q3 report. It was highlighted that of those selecting don’t know, neither or a negative response often did this because they disputed their diagnosis. The results for the PEDIC questions show that the % that know how to make a complaint has decreased. Contact to Crisis Line had increased 7.82% from Q2, and the percentage of callers who would recommend it was 94% up 2% from Q2. Care and Treatment, Attitude/Behaviour and Communication were the subjects of most complaints. The team gives the CAGs data as information for them to produce an action plan. In future, CAGs will be asked to demonstrate what they have done about the information. Commissioners asked that the actions in response to the information should go into the deep dives by the service leads. The trust will look into the use social media and will talk to the comms team. Commissioners found the report to be helpful and appreciated the analysis of free text comments and the ‘you said, we did’ section.

4 CCG ASSURANCE
4.1 NHS Lambeth CCG Assurance 2016/17 Year-end assessment 2016/17 The final assessment process for 2016/17 concluded at the end of March 2017. The 2016/17 year-
end assessment for CCGs will be available on www.nhs.uk/service-search/Performance/Search from
July 2017. The assessment ratings will be based on an OFSTED style categorisation (Outstanding,
Good, Requires Improvement, and Inadequate). Methodologies that will underpin these assessments
have not yet been finalised and will be shared with CCGs once agreed. Final end of year assessment
results will be reported in July 2017.
The result will be reported to the Integrated Governance Committee in August and the Governing Board in September 2017. NHS Lambeth CCG Assurance 2017/18 NHS Lambeth CCG’s Quarter 1 2017/18 assurance meeting with NHS England took place on 22 June 2017. The meeting reviewed:
- a number of KLOEs (Key Lines of Enquiry) from the Improvement Assessment
Framework 2016/17
- a deep dive into the Maternity Clinical Priority assessment area
- Quality (patient safety and CQRGs).
- Finance – Final accounts 2016/17 performance and 2017/18 latest update
NHS England noted the CCGs comprehensive response to the KLOEs and excellent presentation on
Maternity services. NHS Lambeth CCG was praised for its 2016/17 360 degree survey results,
highlighting that the CCG was one of the few organisations to improve on their results compared to
2015/16.

5 COMPONENTS OF THE CCG ASSURANCE FRAMEWORK
5.1 Leadership
5.1.1 Board Assurance Framework
The NHS Lambeth CCG Board Assurance Framework (BAF) is included along with a Heat Map showing the number of risks at each score for all risks recorded on Lambeth CCG’s Risk Register not just those scoring 12 or above. The BAF and supporting Risk Register are living documents, updated regularly. The BAF includes the key mitigating actions and tracks progress of risk scores over the previous 12 months.
o Six risks have been added to the BAF:
o 2Q ‘Likely risk that practices do not utilise the e referral service, GSTT and Kings do not provide enough directly bookable appointment
slots and lack of available appointments on the E-Referral system results in utilisation rate of e-referrals not improving and does not
meet 80% ERS target of 80% by October 2017’
o 3O ‘There is a possible risk of challenge to the proposed development of the Living Well Network Alliance through the procurement
process and inability to agree a service and financial package with providers’.
o 5AAPCC ‘Risk that the allocation for NHS Lambeth CCG’s delegated primary care commissioning is not sufficient to meet forecast
2017/18 budgets’.
o 6Q ‘Business Continuity Management Plan Risk - London Health Resilience Partnership Risk Register lists a risk of a significant failure
of the major utility infrastructure as a medium risk. This would mean a widespread loss of the of telecoms network for over a 24 hr
period rendering the site un-usable for the duration of any interruption’.
o 6S ‘Business Continuity Management Plan Risk - London Health Resilience Partnership Risk Register lists a risk of a significant failure
of the major utility infrastructure as a medium risk resulting in a widespread loss of the water, gas, electricity for over a 24 hr period
rendering the site un-usable for the duration of any interruption’.
22
o 6T ‘Business Continuity Management Plan risk - There is a risk that staff may be targeted by internet fraudsters looking to exploit their
personal information to gain access to the secure computer servers. This could lead to a major data breach and a potential loss of
secure patient data’.
o Two risks have been removed from the BAF:
o 5YPCC ‘Risk that the CCG will be unable to conclude PMS discussions within the London timeframe’. This risk title has been revised
to include risks to implementation in October. As negotiations have been completed, the risk has been downgraded and will continue
to be managed at the Primary Care Working Group.
o 5DPCC ‘Financial risk of overspend on Minor Ailments Scheme’ This risk was downgraded as the target risk score was reached and
the list of pharmacies to recommission approved. The risk will continue to be monitored at the Primary Care Working group.
There are currently 21 risks rated 12 or above.

5.4 Performance Dashboards
5.4.1 NHS England National Constitution Standards
The performance dashboard covers the National Constitution Standards and other key
measures as set out in the national 2016/17 Assurance Framework. Lambeth CCG’s
performance for each of these measures for the financial year 2016/17 is set out in the
table on page 34.
34
NHS Lambeth CCG National Performance Measures for 2016/17 Outturn position
35
5.4.2 RTT (Referral to Treatment Times for Lambeth Patients)
Monthly performance figures 2016/17
Lambeth CCG Performance
Lambeth CCG did not meet the overall incomplete RTT pathway for 2016/17.
RTT performance at GSTT for Lambeth CCG was 90.3%. The main drivers behind GSTT’s RTT performance has been to the increase in referrals, internal issues with capacity, booking practices and waiting list management.
Actions Taken - GSTT
A new RRT performance management framework has been developed and the Trust performance team is currently working with individual services to review their RTT recover action plans and implement the framework.
GSTT are working with local commissioners on demand management for growth in Dermatology, ENT, Neurology, Gynaecology and Ophthalmology.
ENT commenced outsourcing in January 2017 and Orthopaedics are also expected to begin outsourcing at the end of Q1.
Actions Taken - KCH
RTT performance at KCH for Lambeth CCG was 79.4% at the end of March 2017. The main reason for this has been due to the increase in the
volume of patients, alongside the focus on treating the long waiters first.
36
Other drivers include on-going RTT pathway validation, continued focus on supporting the emergency pathway and the delayed opening of extra
beds due to staffing issues.
A revised recovery plan is being developed to address the issues highlighted in the external review undertaken by MBI.
The Integrated Contract Delivery Team are working with KCH and CCGs to assess the costs of insourcing as a means to provide additional capacity
and improve RTT performance.
5.4.3 Diagnostics (Lambeth Patients)
Monthly Performance figures 2016/17
Lambeth CCG Performance
Despite improved performance over the last few months of 2016/17 Lambeth CCG did not meet the 1% diagnostics standard.
Diagnostics performance at GSTT for Lambeth was compliant for the March 2017.
Diagnostic performance at KCH was not met for Lambeth. Underperformance was attributed to CT and MRI services being no-compliant as a result of capacity challenges.
37
Actions Taken
Outsourcing to independent providers by GSTT and KCH are helping to address this underperformance.
KCH are are also securing agency locums and reviewing booking and waiting list processes to ensure that capacity is optimised.
5.4.4 A & E Waiting Times
The national standard states that 95% of patients should be seen within four hours in an A&E department.
Monthly performance figures 2016/17
GSTT Current Performance
GSTT did not meet this target in 2016/17. The performance issues are driven by the Trust’s A&E rebuild along with significant staffing issues towards the end of the financial year. The performance trajectory for 17/18 recognises that the build will not be complete until 2018 and so does not predict meeting 95% performance until March 2018. In the meantime the trust are working with ECIST and have developed comprehensive action plans to incrementally improve performance whilst the rebuild takes place.
King’s Current Performance
KCH did not meet the A&E target in 2016/17. The current improvement is supported by an ED Recovery Plan and Regional Escalation continues into
38
2017/18 and the 2017/18 performance trajectory now predicts that trust will achieve 95% by February 2018. PRUH site is perfoming better than
Denmark Hill site and so the trust predict that Denmark Hill site will meet the target in March 2018.
5.4.5 Cancer Waiting Times
Performance across the majority of cancer waiting times standards fluctuated for most of 2016/17. The most challenging areas have been the achievement of the cancer 2 week wait and the 62 day standard for patients receiving definitive treatment. Patient choice breaches are a significant issue for the 2 week wait standard. Underperformance against the 62 day standard is often attributable to patients whose care is completed at Guy’s and St Thomas’ but who may have started care in a different referring hospital. The SE London Cancer Alliance , together with SE London Cancer Networks are working collaboratively across local clinical and managerial leaders to improve the duty of cancer standards, quality of care and cancer outcomes for the population of south east London. Performance across all of the cancer waiting times standards is expected to return to standard from 2017/18.
39
5.4.6 Ambulance Response Times
London Ambulance Service standards. All 999 calls are prioritised into one of two categories, Category A and Category C. The London Ambulance Service is performance managed against the following three Category A indicators: Category A (Red 1- most serious) calls responded within 8 minutes 75% Category A (Red 2 – serious but less urgent) calls responded within 8 minutes 75% Category A calls responded within 19 minutes 95% The London Ambulance Service has met all three response time standards, despite the challenges that have existed across the system, this is a significant improvement in performance compared to 2015/16.
5.4.7 Improved Access to Psychological Therapies (IAPT)
The standard for people with depression who are referred for and access psychological therapy is 15% for 2016/17. The CCG has performed well in this area, exceeding the target achieving 16.6%. The standard for the proportion of people who subsequently complete therapy and move to recovery is 50% and the CCG achieved 53%.
NHS Lambeth CCG has performed consistently well against the target for the proportion of Lambeth patients finishing a course of treatment receiving their first appointment within six weeks of referral. The target was exceeded throughout the year achieving 95% against the 75% target. Strong performance is also being maintained against the 95% target for the proportion of patients finishing a course of treatment receiving their first appointment within 18 weeks of referral. Performance throughout 2016/17 has been well above 95% achieving an average of 99.9%.
5.4.8 New Early Intervention In Psychosis 2 Week Standard
The NHS Guidance for the Implementation of the EIP Access and Waiting Time Standards defines clock stop as when:
An individual is accepted onto the caseload of an EIP service capable of providing a full package
of NICE concordant care, and;
40
Allocated to and engaged with an EIP care co-ordinator.
The SLaM EIP pathway interpreted the guidance to mean that individuals require a face to face assessment for suitability for EIP services, as well as a face to face contact with a care co-ordinator to evidence the beginning of engagement, within 14 days. However, it has become apparent that the requirement to have both a face to face assessment and a further follow up face to face appointment with an EI care coordinator to stop the clock is a higher bar than that set by the standard, as agreed by the London EIP Clinical Reference Group. This has impacted on the achievement of the EIP target.
Lambeth initially achieved the target in April (66%) but have missed it in May (33.33%) and June (16.67%). In Q2 they achieved 50%, 62.5%, and 85.7% for July, August and September respectively. For October they achieved 69.23% with this dropping in November to 43%. In December the target has been exceeded – with 75%. In Q4 the target has also been exceeded with January 54%, February 58.33% and March 60% respectively. In April 2017 the performance was 100%.
5.4.9 Dementia Diagnosis Rate
The Health and Social Care Centre (HSCIC) has now published data for Dementia Diagnosis Rate for
the year to March 2017. Lambeth is achieving 89% diagnosis rate against estimated prevalence.
Based on previously reported data NHS Lambeth CCG continues to perform highly in this area.

% Recording by GP Practice of Dementia Diagnoses against Expected Prevalence April 2015 - March 2017
41
The graph shows published data for NHS Lambeth CCG’s GP practices, for the percentage of patients
for the CCG with a dementia diagnosis recorded against estimated prevalence. The rate would be
expected to fluctuate slightly month on month as patients join and leave GP practices.
From April 2017, NHS England has changed the way it calculates the dementia prevalence. It is using
the total number of people registered on a GP Practice list as the baseline for the population of that
borough, rather than using the ONS data as it previously did. As a result of this change, the estimated
prevalence of the number of people with dementia living in Lambeth will increase by 257, from 1,534 in
October 2016 to 1,791 in April 2017. NHS England data from March 2017 shows there are 1,363 people
registered on their GP Dementia Register in Lambeth, this means that the diagnosis rate is 76% rather
than its 89% based on the ONS population data. The national target to achieve is 66.7%.
5.5 Quality Premium 2016/17 The Quality Premium (QP) scheme rewards CCGs for improvements in the quality of the services they commission. The scheme also incentivises CCGs to improve patient health outcomes and reduce inequalities in health outcomes and improve access to services. The Quality Premium will be paid to CCGs in 2017/18 to reflect the quality of the health services commissioned by them in 2016/17. It will be based on measures that cover a combination of national and local priorities, alongside the requirement to fulfil the expectations of the Quality, Financial and NHS Constitutional Gateways. Early indications would suggest that the CCG is likely to receive a financial pay award. This would be
calculated on the achievement of both the LAS targets and prescribing targets. Final confirmation and
financial values will not be known until December 2017.
Quality Premium National Measures 2016/17 There are four national measures and in total are worth 70% of the Quality Premium
Cancer diagnosed at an early stage (20% of quality premium) - To earn this portion of the
quality premium, the CCG will need to either:
- Demonstrate a 4 percentage point improvement in the proportion of cancers (specific
cancer sites, morphologies and behaviour) diagnosed at stages 1 and 2 in the 2016
calendar year compared to the 2015 calendar year or;
- Achieve greater than 60% of all cancers (specific cancer sites, morphologies and
behaviour*) diagnosed at stages 1 and 2 in the 2016 calendar year.
Cancer diagnosed at an early stage
Current Performance (IAF 122a)
54.9% (2014)
Ongoing work to support earlier diagnosis has included:
The implementation of the NICE 2WW referral forms
A cancer PLT focused on approaches to support early diagnosis and increasing patient understanding of an urgent referral for suspected cancer. Ongoing education and support following this event from Macmillan GP and nurse. The dissemination to GP practices of tools to support patient conversations regarding an urgent appointment for suspected cancer
GP Patient Survey overall experience of making a GP appointment (20% of quality premium) - To earn this portion of the QP, the CCG will need to demonstrate in the July 2017 publication, either:
- Achieve a level of 85% of respondents who said they had a good experience of making an
appointment, or;
42
- A 3 percentage point increase from July 2016 publication on the percentage of
respondents who said they had a good experience of making an appointment.
Latest published data in July 2016 shows performance at 84.7% (against the target of 85%).
Lambeth CCG is currently the highest performing CCG in South East London for this
indicator. It is likely that this target will be met.
43
E-Referrals increase in the proportion of GP referrals made by e-referral
(20% of quality premium) – To earn this portion of the QP, the CCG will need to,
either:
- Meet a level of 80% by March 2017 (March 2017 performance only) and
demonstrate a year on year increase in the percentage of referrals made
by e-referrals (or achieve 100% e-referrals), or;
- March 2017 performance to exceed March 2016 performance by 20
percentage points.

Quality Premium - Local Measures For 2016/17, the local element of the QP focuses on the Right Care programme and is worth 30% of the overall QP. NHS Lambeth CCG has selected the following three local measures for 2016/17 each worth 10%:
Mental health admissions to hospital: Rate per 100,000 population aged 18+
Based on a steady increasing trajectory from our baseline position we are targeting
a reduction of 5 emergency mental health admissions for 2016/17. This is in
44
addition to the reduction required to address increases relating to population
growth.
This figure represents a decrease of 1% of admissions in Quarter 1 2016/17,
followed by a reduction of 1.5%, 2% and 2.5% in subsequent months as the
benefits of our mental health programme are realised over the course of the year.
We are proposing an end of year only figure to allow for in year variations. This will
be reported in July 2017.
Respiratory: Emergency admission rate for children with asthma per 100,000
population aged 0–18 years
NHS Lambeth CCG is targeting a decrease of 5% of emergency admissions for
children with asthma which translates into a reduction of 11 children's admissions
during 2016/17. We are basing this target on the business case for our new asthma
service elements of which are already in place, others of which will come on-line
throughout the financial year.
The above data shows a decrease in emergency admissions (18.8%) from Quarter
1 to Quarter 4. Based on the data reported we are expecting to achieve this target.
Trauma and injury: Injuries due to falls per 100,000 population ages 65+
NHS Lambeth has a large scale programme of work in progress in relation to falls
prevention underway in Lambeth. Based on expected trajectories towards this
target, we are targeting a reduction 1% of injuries across 2016/17.
Our targets recognise that performance will accelerate over time as increasing
numbers of patients access the service and continue to benefit from it year on year.
45
Latest published data shows that NHS Lambeth is above the England average and in the
lowest performance quartile nationally. However, the data above highlights a decrease in
numbers per 100 000, reporting 2647 and 2619 respectfully. This represents a 1.06%
decrease and currently meets the Quality Premium requirement. This level of performance
will need to be sustained in order to qualify for a Quality Premium award.
5.6 Quality Alerts There were 29 quality alerts reported by Lambeth GP’s and 28 by Southwark GPs in
Quarter 4 regarding Guy’s and St Thomas’ NHS Foundation Trust (GSTFT).
Chart 1 Q4 Quality Alerts regarding GSTFT by Category
Source: QUIC (Lambeth CCG) and Southwark CCG Datix
Additionally, there were 12 Quality Alerts reported by Lambeth GPs relating to KCH, two
for St George’s Hospital, one related to GP practices, one for the Lambeth Collaborative
Hub, one for a local pharmacy, one for St Mary’s Hospital and one for another community
provider. GSTFT made three quality alerts regarding three different general practices in
Lambeth.
The majority of Quality Alerts related to clinical care, communication, referrals and
appointments. Themes included the following:
- Referrals to service missed - Failure to follow up - Discharge letters/ summaries not received - Results not received - Poor communication
The most quality alerts were received in relation to District Nursing, Radiology and general
issues related to the 6 new requirements of the NHS Standards Contract.
46
Quality Alert Actions
Key learning and actions identified by GSTFT and KCH in their Quarter 4 reports in
relation to the themes are summarised below:
GSTFT District Nursing Single Point of Access processes have been reviewed by
an external party and some minor recommendations have been made. The district
nursing team are working continuously with their teams and triage nurses to stress
the need for attention to detail and appropriate action.
A patient focussed information leaflet on Fit Notes has been shared by GSTFT with
our GPs via the Connect Newsletter in April 2017. This will be displayed and will
help communicate what patient’s should expect when visiting GSTT. KCH are
working to add the Fit Note to the nursing discharge checklist across all sites as
well as in the pre-op assessment for elective patients.
The GSTFT @Home service has improved the process on the frequency of
repeating blood tests to ensure the latest result prior to discharge are reviewed and
communicated to the patient’s GP, information is communicated in the discharge
summary.
GSTFT General medicine will ensure in future that the anti-coagulation targets and
follow-up arrangements are documented on EDL. This has been discussed with the
Junior Team.
GSTFT MCATS will re-circulate exclusions and inclusion criteria for LIMS service.
The GP practice will ensure correct processes are being followed for checking
rejected referrals.
GSTFT Oncology have now configured the shared 2ww nhs.net inbox to send
automatic replies. The reply confirms that the e-mail has been received and will be
reviewed in 24 hours.
In Q4, KCH experienced issues with overlapping information on discharge
notifications making them illegible – this was a technical issue which was fully
resolved by IT as soon as this was reported and affected EDN’s were resent to
practices.
5.7 Infection Control
C.Difficile – There have been 42 cases of C.Difficile reported to date against a target of 75. The number of cases to NHS Lambeth CCG remains within the target set by NHS England. MRSA - There were 5 cases of MRSA reported in 2016/17 against a target of 0. Post infection reviews are carried out for every case. Consent to access patients notes to carry out the review is usually the cause for the delay in completing reviews within the specified timescales.
47
5.8 Mixed Sex Accommodation There have been five mixed sex accommodation breaches reported during the year so far, against a zero tolerance. All of these cases occurred in the first two quarters of 2016/17 with no further cases reported thereafter.

6.1.1 Programme’s Purpose
The Integrated Children and Young People and Maternity (CYPM) Programme is responsible for making and implementing decisions in relation to commissioned services for children, young people and maternity across Lambeth. The remit of the programme extends across both physical and mental health. As an integrated programme, the aim is to ensure that children and young people’s physical, psychological and social needs are addressed in a comprehensive, cohesive manner. Our children and families services are provided from pregnancy to 18 years old (up to 25 for young people with a disability). They cover a range of services provided both in hospital and in the community. Services are planned and bought through an integrated health and social care team, with the aim of ensuring:
Children have the best start in life
Children and young people are strong and have positive lifestyles and behaviours
Children and young people achieve their ambitions and do well at school Early intervention in children’s health and wellbeing is vital to help reduce the number of years of life lost by the people of Lambeth from treatable conditions. It also helps to improve the quality of life of people with one or more long-term conditions. The CYPM programme is made up of three overarching areas of work:
Children and adolescents mental health services (CAMHS)
Child health and early intervention services
Maternity Services
49
The programme Board maintains a strategic overview of the quality of services being delivered to children, young people and pregnant women in the Borough, holding providers to account where appropriate. Working in partnership with the Primary Care Development Board the CYPM Programme maximises the care of children and young people in primary care. Working in partnership with the Primary Care Development Board, Lambeth Early Action Partnership (LEAP) and the Children and Young People Health Programme, the CYPM Programme maximises the care of children and young people in primary care and the development of evidence based early intervention services that improve health and wellbeing outcomes.

Assurance Status/Risks RAG Rating (Red/Amber/Green)
Is your programme delivering as planned – is it
on target?
Some objectives on track but some risks
identified going forward.
50
Key aims for 2016-17: Develop and implement CAMHS Strategy and Transformation Plan,
including reduced waiting times and reduction in Tier 4 activity
Develop comprehensive perinatal mental health pathway
Develop comprehensive paediatric asthma pathway
Reduce paediatric admissions through re-commissioning of comprehensive community children’s nursing service
Develop Integrated Early Years Pathway (as part of Healthy Child Programme)
Implement and deliver LEAP Programme
Improve child health pathways through CYPHP
Implement Maternity Transformation Programme and community midwifery models
Deliver borough wide Youth Violence programme
Develop integrated adolescent pathway (as part of HCP)
Key Achievements Quarter 4 (January – March ):
Waiting times to EI CAMHS has been improving. The latest report
indicated that the Q3 mean waiting time is 13.55 weeks (down from 15
weeks in Q2). Our aim remains be back on track to achieve target of
11wks by end Q4. The additional funding is recurrent to add capacity to
this team. Additional capacity for NDT team is also being considered as
waiting list is higher than target.
9 providers have been commissioned through the CAMHS Transformation
Funding Programme and contracts are currently being negotiated and
put in place in preparation for the new financial year. CAMHS –
service/team reviews are taking place (5 completed and 2 more booked
in) and a report will be written May/June to inform future commissioning
and look at gaps/concerns. On-going development of tier 2/emotional
wellbeing offer working with VCS and partners.
Perinatal MH engagement work complete for Mild to Moderate levels –
report commissioned. Perinatal Strategy group begun and pathway
development work starting, with the aim to work collaboratively across
SE London.
Asthma pathway development is nearing finalisation. The GP incentive
scheme is being finalised, in conjunction with the primary Care Long
Term Conditions GP Incentive Scheme. This includes developing a
specification for Virtual Clinics. The age range has also broadened to
include 2-18yrs olds
Adolescent health pathway: we are working on developing a more
integrated model for our 5-19 services and those for vulnerable and at
risk children. We are also working on transitions, including work with
CAMHS and Transforming Care agenda (preventing young people going
into in-patient care where possible and supporting them better to come
out and back into the community).
H@H evaluation going well. Work regarding the redesign of the
Community Nursing Service with partners and providers has progressed
well and is drawing to a close, with new CCNT service due to
commence on 1st April.
Children and Young People
51
On-going involvement with SEL Maternity Network, 17/18 QS priorities
agreed. GST presented maternity update to CQRG meeting.
Commissioners have set meetings with GSTT to discuss wider
transformation in the pre-birth to 5 years’ arena.
16/17 contract has been completed for Oasis, who has been
commissioned as part of our Youth Violence provision to the value of
£49,146. Multi-agency youth violence task & finish group met once to
decide on priorities. The group will support commissioning intention for
Youth Provision in 17/18. Youth Justice and Health funding received
from NHSE; scoping for liaison and diversion work is ongoing.
New Assistant Director for Children and Maternity has started. C-Section thresholds agreed for 16/17 GST and KCH contracts. Rate of C-
Sections at GSTT remains broadly constant and given the complexity of
the local population GSTT are not reporting to be significant outliers
when compared with statutory neighbours.
We are working on a programme stocktake across the remit of our Children & Maternity Programme Board. Equally we have begun work on our new Children and Young People’s Plan, and are planning to undertake widespread engagement with children, young people and families as well as key stakeholders such as Primary Care, Education, and social care colleagues.
52
Key challenges to date: Completed CCG SEND self-assurance. Gaps identified that need
progressing through an action plan. Joint action plan across CCG and Local Authority will be drafted.
While LBL budget cuts continue to impact on the CCG and health of CYP, we are taking an integrated commissioning approach with our transformation planning moving into 2017/18 and beyond.
CAMHS data: while this has begun to improve, it is usually received late due to the time taken to process data for all 7 Boroughs in the SEL area. We are working with the SLAM Performance Team on this.
Transfer from RIO to Care Notes system has caused problems for GST re accuracy of data. Plans are in place around specific areas such as CCNT transfer.
Key risks 2016-17: Shortage of BCG vaccination continues. This is being progressed by
GST but remains an international issue, PHE continue to advise. Primary Care communications are in place through locality meetings.
While there is good progress with waiting times to CAMHS EI service, it remains a risk until we have reached the 10 week target.
We need to embed the Transforming Care Agenda with CAMHS to identify young people with LD at risk of becoming in-patient. There is however some joint work ongoing which is looking at the business case for a joint CAMHs caseworker.
Safeguarding children continues to be an area of risk. Lambeth SCB and partners are currently undertaking several SCRs. The LA CSC remains subject to an Ofsted inadequate judgement.
Health Visiting review 1 & 2 continue to be low and are at risk in light of cuts to PH Grant. An improvement plan is in place with GST (reporting issues and accuracy of data due to Care Notes also having an impact). An action plan is being monitored.

6.2.1 Programme Purpose Work within Elective Care is aimed at collectively bringing together acute care clinicians to work closely with primary care to ensure seamless referral for testing, diagnosis and onward referral to appropriate specialist services. This will support the provision of equality across the borough for services regardless of geographical location or provider providing care. This work also supports the achievement of national targets (such as referral to treatment and cancer targets) as well as areas that are nationally mandated (such as the delivery of the e-referral service). We are supporting an increase in appropriate referrals into secondary care through the provision of tools, training and other forms of support to ensure that referrals, diagnostics and community based care is consistent across our whole geography. We are striving to ensure standardisation and reflection of best practice. Cancer work within 2016/17 looked at approaches to support the uptake of guidelines promoting the early diagnosis and treatment of cancer, the implementation of new pathways for rapid diagnosis for people with “vague symptoms” that may result from cancer or other serious illness and improved levels of screening e.g. bowel screening. Work within the Urgent Care work stream focused on ensuring that patients are able to access the right care at the right time when medical care is required urgently. This included commissioning services that provide an alternative to A&E such as the Integrated Urgent Care service (previously known as 111) and GP access hubs. Work also includes providing sufficient pressure surge management support to the urgent care system, particularly in winter but also and other times of pressure such as heatwaves or infection outbreaks, bank holidays and during industrial action.

6.2.2 Programme Assurance Statement Quarter 2 2016/17
Assurance Status/Risks RAG Rating (Red/Amber/Green)
Is your programme delivering as planned – is it
on target?
Some objectives were achieved.
57
Key aims for 2016-17: Elective
Maximising the quality and appropriateness of outpatient referral through use of the electronic tools available, reducing unwarranted variation between clinicians and practices
Ensuring that patients are treated along the most appropriate care pathway throughout their healthcare interventions
Securing the delivery of 18-week referral to treatment targets
Ensure that there is effective use of diagnostics across the primary and secondary care systems. Cancer
Improve cancer screening rates, identifying cancer earlier, instigating the early treatment of patients with cancer through improvement in the 62-day wait cancer performance in order to deliver improved outcomes for patients
Urgent Care
Supporting the commissioning of services within the urgent care system including the integrated urgent care service
Commissioning to ensure that Urgent Care is better configured to deliver for example a front ended co-located Urgent Care Centre within ED on the St Thomas’ site, supported by
Key Achievements Quarter 4 (January - March) : Elective
Workstreams established under the Planned Care Board have delivered GP referral audits in order to identify opportunities for managing demand for outpatients services differently. A number of referral guidelines have been developed and are now being signed off across all 5 organisations.
Primary care communications on planned care have been streamlined and in Lambeth include a new planned care section on the GP portal on news and alternative services and a specific section in the GP bulletin for planned care
Peer review service specification as part of GP delivery framework was revised considerably following input from federations and GPs and is now in final draft. Cancer
Bowel cancer – project on increasing uptake of bowel cancer
screening by phoning non-responders now active in 12 practices;
60% of patients contacted have received verbal advice on
completing the test and of these 60% have agreed to have a
further test sent to them for completion
High level review of cancer data for Lambeth practices completed
and practices prioritised for visits by Macmillan and CRUK.
Practice visit (for cancer) framework developed to ensure
consistency of messaging.
Urgent Care
GST continues to divert Lambeth and non-Lambeth patients to the
hubs and additional work with Kings ED has resulted in increased
use of redirection from Denmark Hill.

consistent communications and signposting of patients. to provide hub capacity.
NHS 111 tender process was stopped due to LAS (sole bidder)
withdrawing from the process. However, LAS confirmed their
intention to continue to work closely with us to provide a seamless
service and their contract has been extended to September 2018
to enable a new tender process to commence. Work is now being
done to engage with interested suppliers to feed into a revised
specification.
Key challenges to date:
No cancer related incentive in the GP Delivery scheme
Pace of delivery expected across planned care programme
Increasing practice use of ERS
Continued increasing activity and acuity within ED departments
Continued difficulties with achievement of RTT targets and increase in demand on outpatient services
Difficulty in reaching high utilisation of hub slots for redirected patients.
Key risks 2016-17 (each risk will continue into 2017/18):
The planned initiatives in the planned care programme may not deliver the expected outcomes for GP outpatient referrals
Limited capacity to deliver work across the project areas
Pace required to affect change in the required timescale
Ambitious targets for ERS nationally
Engagement of whole system to deliver a recovery plan for RTT and A&E performance

QR12 Warm Transfers & QR13 Time taken for call back The commissioners have agreed a let for QR12 and QR13, in order to allow LAS to carry out a pilot to prioritise warm transfers and call backs according to clinical need. Impact on Local Urgent and Emergency Care Services Ambulance disposition Data is based on LAS’s daily Adastra call log submissions. Final dispositions are shown as a
percentage of calls logged on Adastra, whereas the UNIFY2 data, in the table above, shows
dispositions as a percentage of all calls answered. Therefore, this data set should not be used for
benchmarking against other providers.
The graph above shows dispatches of red ambulances in March 2017, represented as 3.4%
of the total answered calls, which was slightly less than last month (February 2017). Since
September 2016 the percentage of red ambulances dispatched remained close to 3.8%,
which is also close to the average of the last nine months (3.7%).
In December 2016 the percentage of green ambulances dispatched was lower than red
ambulances; this was the first time in the last fifteen months. However, in March 2017, green
ambulance triage was 4.0%. In November and December 2016 green ambulances were
triaged 4.5% and 3.8% respectively, suggesting a downward trend. Between September and
November 2016 the percentage of green ambulances triaged remained consistently around
4.5%, which was the highest in the last fifteen months.
Overall, in March 2017 the number of total ambulances triaged was 7.6% of the total
answered calls, which is slightly higher than last month. An average the total ambulances
triaged in 2016/17 was 7.9%.

Programme Leads Liz Clegg (AD, Older People), Cllr Jackie Meldrum
IAF Indicators (Annex A) 104a, 105b, 105c, 106a, 106b, 127b
Programme Purpose The specific outcomes for this project are:
To support older people to remain independent and able to manage their health well with the right level of timely support and advice when they need it to remain at home
That fewer older people will be admitted to hospital or residential care reducing the number of beds required and shifting resources to community based care
To provide good quality care and achieve cost efficiencies by providing more integrated health and social care.
63
Key aims for 2016-17: BCF deliverables including reducing the number of delayed transfer
of care, reduction in number of people going into residential care, reduction in the number of emergency admissions and percentage of people remaining at home 90 days post reablement/rehabilitation
To ensure that all Previously Un-assessed Periods of Care (PUPOC) Continuing Healthcare claims are managed and resolved in line with the national deadline
Increase the pace of implementation of the new format of the new version of the Coordinate My Care (CMC) register
To maintain and increase the diagnosis of dementia against the estimated prevalence
To work together with Southwark, Lewisham and Croydon to agree a service redesign (proposed by SLaM) for the delivery of inpatient and specialist mental health services for older people.
To commission post diagnostic support for people with dementia
To support LBL with the engagement of alternative day opportunity offers for older people
Key Achievements (February - March 2017): Better Care Fund (BCF) Quarter 4 - with the exception of Delayed
Transfers of Care (DTOC), Lambeth will achieve and overperform against all other metrics.
All of the Previously Un-assessed Periods of Care (PUPOC) Continuing Healthcare claims have been investigated locally with outcomes notified to claimants. NHS England informed that deadline has been and was ratified at call with NHSE in October. Action now completed
Data from October 2016 shows that 86.6% of the estimated prevalence of those with dementia in Lambeth have a diagnosis recorded on their GP’s Dementia QoF Register; this has increased slightly from the previous month. GP referral rates continue to be steady to the memory service.
The 4 CCG MHOA commissions have agreed bed numbers and configuration for acute care to separate out organic and functional units. Bed price not yet agreed.
Individual reassessments of day centre users continue. Expected to be completed by February 2017.
Held a very successful older People’s Alliance Contract workshop with over 50 attendees from a wide section of stakeholders.
Nurses recruited to Buurtzorg test and learn site. Due to go live in early 2017
No formal or informal suspensions on any care home for older people in Lambeth.
Older People
64
Key challenges to date:
Working across 4 boroughs with regard to the SLaM MHOA specialist care service redesign – each borough has slightly different demands and needs, and commonality and compromise must be agreed
Performance issues with social care providers. One care home closed at the end of August. Formal and informal suspensions all now lifted, however ongoing intensive monitoring required. Three home care agencies are currently high risk. Two are currently suspended. Market factors are having an impact on DTOC (see below)
BCF – Higher levels of DTOC than planned. A number of mitigating
projects in place for 2017/18 DTOC performance e.g. implementation
of Choice Protocol, develop Trusted Assessor role, develop
discharge to assess model for Continuing Healthcare assessments
for Lambeth and Southwark, ongoing quality and safety monitoring of
care homes, introduction of Red Bag scheme for smooth transfer of
care between hospital and care homes.
Key risks 2016-17:
A risk of delay with the SLaM service redesign if the model is not agreed – this would have a financial impact on each CCG
Social care provider issues – maintaining quality and impact on the rest of the system including increased DTOC
Lack of pace on implementation of new reablement model
Vacancy levels in adult community services and the impact of the
agency cap
Quality of community nursing and interface with primary care
65
6.2.4 Better Care Fund (BCF)
The Better Care Fund (BCF) was announced by the Government in the June 2013 spending round, to ensure a
transformation in integrated health and social care. The Better Care Fund (BCF) creates a local single pooled
budget to incentivise CCGs and local authorities to work more closely together around people, placing their well-
being as the focus of health and care services.
NHS Lambeth CCG and London Borough of Lambeth continue their commitment to develop integrated care and
broadening the scope of integrated commissioning. The 2016/17 pooled BCF fund is £23.5million.
Performance against BCF metrics for year end 2016/17 are outlined in the tables below.
1. Non-elective admissions (NEA) - Measured by the rate of non-elective admissions per 100 000 population.
Continued excellent performance against this metric with less than anticipated NEA for 2016/17.
2. Delayed Transfers of Care (DTOC) – Measured by the number of DTOC per 100 000 population for people
aged 18+. More DOTC than planned in Q 1-3, and an improving position for Q4. The overall year end position
is 8% higher than anticipated for 2016/17 and will be a major focus in the BCF Plan 2017/19 currently being
drafted.
66
3. Reablement – Measured by the proportion of older people 65+ who are still at home 91 days after discharge
from hospital into reablement/rehabilitation services. Target 90.1%. Continued excellent performance against
this metric with a higher percentage of older people still at home 91 days discharge into the reablement service.
4. Permanent admissions to residential care - Measured by long term support needs of older people aged 65+
met by permanent admission to residential or nursing care per 100,000 population. Continued excellent
performance shows lower than anticipated numbers of people requiring a permanent admission to a care home.

6.2.5 Integrated Adults Programme: Long Term Conditions and Medicines Optimisation
Responsible Director Moira McGrath, Director of Integrated Commissioning (Older Adults)
Clinical Lead Dr John Balazs
Programme Leads Vanessa Burgess Assistant Director and Chief Pharmacist
IAF Indicators 103a, 103b, 105d, 107a, 107b, 128a
Programme Purpose The 15 million people in England with long term conditions have the greatest healthcare needs of the population (50% of all GP appointments and 70% of all bed days) and their treatment and care absorbs 70% of acute and primary care budgets in England. The impact of multi-morbidity is profound. People with several long-term conditions have markedly poorer quality of life, poorer clinical outcomes and longer hospital stays, and are the costliest group of patients that the NHS has to look after. The purpose of this work stream is to improve the quality and length of life of people, people with three or more long term conditions, and to promote the clinical and population behaviours which allow the right care to be delivered in the right setting. To ensure meaningful access to effective services, and to maximise the efficiency of those services, a well-coordinated and collaborative patient journey between physical, psychological and mental health components of pathways is required, as well as cross-cutting pathways where common co-morbidities exist and the interdependency of mental and long term physical health conditions is recognised. Medicines are a highly valued and effective intervention but medicines are not always taken as intended (30% to 50% of medicines) and medicines side effects are known to cause 5-8% of hospital admissions. Therefore, a key theme is to support patients in understanding and taking their medicines better. Primary care prescribing expenditure is growing nationally by 3% and hospital medicines expenditure on medicines by 15%, some of which are medicines commissioned by CCGs. A strong theme of the work is to deliver cost effective, value based prescribing, and support the CSU in managing CCG commissioned high cost drugs spend. Management of antimicrobial resistance is also a key theme with targeted use of appropriate antibiotics only when necessary being a key deliverable.
68
Key aims for 2016-17:
Design and implement an integrated and personalised approach to managing the physical and mental health of people with one or more long term condition underpinned including increasing use of Care and Support Plans. Integrate approaches from the NHS England best practice programmes (Right Care, Long Term Conditions).
Maximise the potential of community and primary care to support individuals with diabetes through development of our Integrated Model for Diabetes including review and commissioning of a sustainable intermediate care service.
Focus on prevention of diabetes through joint working with Lambeth Council and South London partners to implement the National Diabetes Prevention Programme in Lambeth.

Potential for lack of engagement by General Practice in Medicines Optimisation and Long Term Condition Virtual clinics Schemes via GP Delivery Framework
The primary care prescribing budget may not remain within budget for 16/17 due to the introduction of new drugs on the market, e.g. New Oral Anticoagulant medicines, NICE approved drugs, newer diabetes drugs and the impact of NICE Guideline 28 (NG 28).
There are significant and large potential projects requiring project and procurement resource –Ambulatory Blood pressure monitoring and the Community diabetes service. Resource and time constraints may lead to non-delivery of these projects.

Programme Purpose The mental health programme covers adults of working age in Lambeth. It is supported by the Lambeth Living Well Collaborative (LLWC), which is the partnership platform aiming to apply co production practice to the commissioning and delivery of mental health care and support in the borough. The overall aim of the programme is to ensure that people with mental health problems obtain access to support as early (and so avoid crisis) and as close to home as possible. We are aiming to re model our high cost low volume investment pattern to one which supports a larger number of people at lower cost through the provision of holistic support delivered by an alliance of providers working together to deliver the programmes (and collaborative's) big 3 outcomes.

1. OBDs - These beds include Acute, Triage and PICU. 4. EIP - During March 10 people experiencing their first episode of psychosis waited for treatment with people 6 seen within 2 weeks, giving a total of 60%. Of the 4 not seen 2 people accepted and waiting F2F and 2 delayed referral from SLaM team. 6. AMHPs - In March there were a total of 107 referrals with a total of 79 assessments Of the 79 assessments 58 leading to detention, 0 leading to informal admission, 11 not leading to admission, 10 S135 warrants obtained, 2 S135 warrants executed, 9 S136 used, 3 not assessed or no bed. There were an additional 48 EDT referrals made. 8. DTOC - The DTOC figure has increased from previous months, however it is still under 7.5%. The number of lost OBDs is not currently available. 9. LWN - There were a total of 604 introductions to the hub in February with 482 closures. 10. GP+ - There are currently 145 people on the GP+ scheme, with a total of 184 people who have been on the scheme since the beginning. 11/12. Talking Therapies - SLaM is above target for numbers entering treatment, and is above the 50% recovery rate this month. 13. IPSA - This is the number of people who have been in either residential care or rehabilitation beds where the IPSA team have worked with them to move into the new service offer. There is a low number of legacy moved in January due to a delay in Supported Housing Schemes becoming available. 14. IPSA - The target is the estimated number of new people who would have entered the previous system (rehab or residential care), the actual shows how the new service has been effective at diverting 'new people' away from bed based provision.

Key aims for 2016-17:
Developing the Living Well Network to provide integrated multiagency support to individuals with mental health problems
Redesigning the services we commission from our local mental health provider (SLaM)
Implementing the Integrated Personal Support Alliance to deliver recovery focused personal care and support for people with complex needs
Key Achievements Quarter 4 (Jan - March):
“Black Thrive” is in the process of recruiting a chief officer to lead the partnership. The CCG is actively supporting BT by promoting and encouraging commissioner and provider representation on the three core working groups – prevention, access and experience.
>450 introductions per month to LWN being sustained.
IPSA activity and financial plan on target, 20% saving secured at M!2;
Formal procurement phase for Living Well Network Alliance through issuing of PIN expression of interest 8 March 2017 (closed 6 April). Following evaluation and reports to board intention is to proceed to next stage – VEAT notice.
Positive meeting with NHSE on 26 May to discuss next stage of LWNA proposals and intention to proceed to VEAT following PIN stage.
Acute pathway – barriers to discharge working group meeting fortnightly. Position for M12 and M1 17/18 has deteriorated, scrutiny taking place of slam recovery plans.
Key challenges to date:
Delivery of EIP target remains challenging across all four SLaM boroughs. Part of the issue is the definition of first contact/assessment. This being worked on between the Trust and four CCGs.
OBD trajectory.
SLaM contract 17/19 negotiation.
Key risks 2016-17:
Procurement of next phase of LWN fails to attract a response from providers capable of delivering the system wide outcomes and savings we are seeking
SLaM Contract – planned OBD reduction is not delivered. .
IPSA Alliance fails to deliver transformation and savings as planned
Workforce culture change is slow to adapt to the need for co-productive/personalised approach
System interface – perverse incentives, behaviours not addressed by new rules
LA funding reductions impacts on delivery of social care and support outcomes.
Changes to housing benefit rules constrain development of supported living schemes.

Key aims for 2016-17:
SEL Transforming Care Programme (SRO is Greenwich)
Coordinate all local Transforming Care related monitoring and activity
Embed Care Treatment Review (CTR) process across Adult and Children’s
Positive Behaviour Support Service – determine best funding option and agree implementation plan
Primary Care
Key achievements Quarter 4
NHS England assured the SELTCP programme. Our TCP set up, governance and plan have received positive feedback.
SELTCP appointed a voluntary sector organisation to set up and run a ‘South East London TCP Forum’ for people with lived experience, and to undertake other engagement work
The SEL TCP secured an additional £320k transformation funding bid from the NHS England investment committee. Proportion of people with a learning disability on the GP register receiving an annual health check was 71% at end of March
Key challenges to date:
Our inpatient numbers are higher than they should be at this point in the three-year trajectory
The CCG has not developed its plans to expand personal health budgets, so that that people with learning disabilities outside of CHC criteria are included
There is uncertainty around Specialised Commissioning and we need greater understanding of the plans for Specialised Commissioning and to be more involved in shaping their development.
CTRs within 10 days of admission to an ATU, as diagnosis of LD or Autism not formerly diagnosed
Positive Behaviour Support Service - Whilst our London TCP Board recognises this as something we need across south east London, it was not possible to set this up within the first year. The differing existing provision within boroughs means that putting in place a consistent service across all of south east London is a significant change. At the moment, we don’t have the commitment or the funding to make this happen.
A consistent pathway across south east London
Key risks 2017-18:
SEL TCP requirement is to discharge people into the
community but the inpatient population is remaining fairly static as we haven’t yet implemented alternative services to prevent people with LD/ASC being admitted – this continues to be a risk going forward
Financial pressure on CCGs and local authorities – a key objective of the programme is to reduce the number of individuals in mental health hospitals and specialist learning disability/ autism assessment and treatment units. Discharging these individuals, with very complex care needs into CCG-commissioned inpatient beds (from those commissioned by NHS England) or into the community will lead to financial pressures on CCGs and councils.
The South East London TCP not meeting its inpatient trajectory for year 1 or year 3
Financial, reputational and community safety risk of moving forensic patients from out of area inpatients units to south London, as part of specialised commissioning’s New Care Models Programme.

Responsible Director Ruth Hutt, Interim Director of Public Health, Lambeth
TBC, Director of Integrated Commissioning (Public Health, Children & Young People, Adult Disabilities)
Clinical Lead Dr. Raj Mitra
Programme Lead London Borough Lambeth
Programme’s Purpose The Lambeth Staying Healthy Partnership Board (SHPB) is the lead partnership body reporting directly to the Health & Wellbeing Board on strategy, action, investment and progress to prevent ill health, promote health and wellbeing and reduce health inequalities of the Lambeth population. The Board is led jointly by Lambeth Council and Lambeth CCG with the Director of Public Health and a Staying Healthy Clinical lead acting as co-chairs. It has oversight of local delivery against the Public Health Outcomes Framework and the commissioning of health services where responsibility has transferred to local government. In addition, the SHPB has responsibilities, as delegated by the Health and Wellbeing Board, to advise and steer the JSNA process and assure JSNA products such as specific needs assessments and factsheets. The Board also has oversight for the development and approval of Patient Group Directions (PGDs) by having an agreed policy and process for PGD development and approval. The SHPB formally reports to the Lambeth Health and Wellbeing Board, and to the Lambeth Clinical Commissioning Group through the Integrated Governance Committee.
86
Key aims for 2016-17:
Redesign/recommissioning of health improvement services (ie: smoking cessation, weight management, exercise referral, health checks)
Transformation of sexual health service offer in line with goals set out by London Sexual Health Transformation Project (ie: channel shift online and clinic rationalisation) and introduction of new Integrated Sexual Health Tariff
Redesign/recommissioning of substance misuse and homeless health services
Integrating specialist/commissioning teams
Redesign of HIV care and support pathways
Work with GP Federations to lead population health contracts
Refresh of the Health and Wellbeing Strategy
Contribute a health and wellbeing perspective in the development of the Lambeth Community Plan
Oversight to the JSNA process and sign off of relevant products
Key Achievements Quarter 4
Balanced budget set and savings proposals determined with consultation process commenced
Public health specialist team now embedded in Lambeth local authority
New DPH in post
Links made between Health and Wellbeing Strategy and Community Plan, particularly around tackling health inequalities
Commissioning intentions communicated to key partners
Implemented agreed changes to HIV Care and Support pathways and transitional group working well
Negotiating new GUM/RSH contracts with acute providers and working with London on ensuring implementation of Integrated Sexual Health Tariff London-wide
Excellent progress with regard to recommissioning and remodelling of adolescent sexual health/substance misuse services and Staying Healthy services
New process of invoice validation agreed with primary care providers
Completed first stage of savings consultation – moving to service level consultations now
Key challenges to date:
Financial position – impact of Government cuts and council need for savings to help balance budget, will affect outcomes detrimentally given scale of cuts
Establishing the specialist PH team within the council and filling vacancies that have been carried prior to and during the restructure with Southwark
Increasing levels of need and increasing population levels
London wide GUM negotiations and open access issues and challenges with ISHT implementation
Rising levels of STIs
Staffing – loss of key staff at critical times
Key risks 2016-17:
Resource/time available to undertake the redesign and consultation work needed to achieve a balanced budget in 17/18 and beyond
London not moving towards transformation at the same pace and ambition as Lambeth, leaving the potential for growth in clinics at the expense of those that have been redesigned locally
Staffing – loss of key staff at critical times
Austerity – cuts to advice services, cuts to social care, welfare benefit changes, increased homelessness, etc
Loss of Mayoral funding for offender/substance misuse services which Public Health joint funds – 30% cut in funding now confirmed
Loss of specialist Public Health capacity to work effectively across the local health economy

6.5.1 Programme Assurance Statement
Assurance Status/Risks RAG Rating
(Red/Amber/Green)
Is your programme delivering
as planned – is it on target?
Yes
What are the risks you have
identified to date and how are
you mitigating against these?
Risks have been identified and are being mitigated or managed as far as possible. The
risks include:
1. Financial – we have experienced a 10% cut to PH Grant during the period 2016/17 to
2019/20 and a programme of work is underway to determine how to deliver the reduction in
spend. The cut represents a loss of gross of over £5m. There is likely to be further pressure
on the PH budget linked to the need for council-wide savings to meet a £50m budgetary
shortfall. The loss of grant is likely to mean services are reduced and outcomes are
detrimentally affected. We are mitigating this by working strategically to remodel and
recommission key services and with a close eye on health inequalities.
2. Structural – the PH specialist team is returning to Lambeth as a stand-alone team but with
some funding reductions that mean staff posts will not be able to be filled and a restructure
is needed. The setting up of new systems and IT and the move back to Lambeth presents
some short term risks to service continuity as arrangements bed in.
3. External – continued/extended programme of welfare cuts likely to negatively impact on
housing, youth homelessness, income/poverty, mental well-being, etc. The impact of these
wider determinants of public health creates a risk to the success of the programme in
meeting intended outcomes.
4. Sexual health – continuing growth in need/demand for services, efforts to manage
costs/demand proving problematic (complicated by open access issues, market
development issues and differences in London-wide approach to issue).

6.5.2 Staying Healthy Dashboard
The Public Health Outcomes Framework (PHOF) was used to identify the national indicators relevant to each of the three main commissioning areas
(sexual health, substance misuse, health and wellbeing). Commissioners were also consulted to identify the local priorities. Where KPIs are annual,
local data will be used where possible and appropriate to provide quarterly updates. The Staying Healthy Board is to agree which other indicators
could help to demonstrate progress against the wider determinants of health that are specifically within the Board’s remit.

Staying Healthy Resdesign
The staying healthy re-commissioning process fails to produce the desired outcomes - namely of realising the savings by 1st April 2018 and delivering a high quality and value for money service offer for the local population.
There is the risk that re-commissioning through market testing does not prove successful in identifying appropriate providers.
Savings are not realised by April 2018. Re-commissioning does not produce the outcome of having a high quality and value for money service in place.
Medium David Orekoya
Public Health Staffing
The number of staff in Public Health teams will be reduced as staff leave and are not replaced and savings are taken
Lambeth has changed staffing practices in light of financial pressures (e.g. enhanced redundancy, recruitment freeze)
Remaining team will need to deliver on all responsibilities with reduced number of staff
Medium Ruth Hutt 1/4/17: Loss of Lead Commissioner (resigned) and freezing of vacancy is creating pressure – interim solutions being sought. Senior Commissioning Officer also leaving his post at end April.
Public Health Activity Contracts
Increased activity in mandatory services results in cost pressures to be met in Public Health Grant budget
Public Health services are often statutory / mandatory, open access / demand-led, and contracted on activity.
Demand and activity rises above level affordable within limits of PH Grant, particularly after organisational savings

Programme’s Purpose This programme seeks to enable a transformation of Community based /out of hospital care where high quality, locally responsive and sustainable primary care is the building block for the future health and care system. Through this, Lambeth citizens can expect a primary care system that is proactive in its approach, accessible and responsive to local needs and coordinated around the individual. The programme aims to enable a general practice system that can collaborate successfully across the borough, with patients and citizens, and be a valued, well developed and attractive place to work. The programme will coordinate the key system enablers of Estates, workforce and digital technologies to facilitate this transformation.

Key aims for 2016-17: GP Patient Survey – overall experience of making a GP appointment
– a) Achieve a level of 85% of respondents who said they had a good experience of making an appointment; or b). A 3 percentage point increase from July 2016 publication on the percentage of respondents who said they had a good experience of making an appointment
Developing local Clinical Leadership and new ways of working across Healthcare system
Develop General Practice to work at scale
Make Primary Care a more attractive place to work
Primary Care Commissioning
Develop new ways of working to reduce variation in Primary Care
Give people in Lambeth the opportunity for their voice to be heard
Primary Care is better configured to deliver an increased range of services to patients
Unscheduled care
Develop enhanced Primary Care Access in Lambeth
Utilise the community pharmacy network & other community services to improve outcomes for patients through integrated care and by improving safety, access and focussing on prevention
Reduce variation in equality for local populations
Key Achievements Quarter 4 (January – March):
Local Care Network (LCN) development - Agreement has been reached in principle around the cohort searches for people with 3 or more long term conditions. Outcomes have been agreed for the care coordination work. A series of workshops were held to look at the navigator/connector roles across health and care and voluntary services. There was a decision making event held on 1 March 2017 for LCN Board members around the care coordination pathway. There was a visit to Nottingham CCG to learn from their Vanguard work around integrated care for people with long term conditions. LCN Chairs were appointed for both the South West and South East and there are interim co-chairs in the North subject to further recruitment. Ethnographic engagement training and field work was completed which has generated patient stories.
A Lambeth Integrated System statement developed and agreed at the Governing Body on 18 January 2017. Next steps in development, to include invitation to partners to join an alliance leadership team.
Contracts for the Access Hubs and GP Federation Delivery Framework (to support general practice to work at scale) are being finalised for 2017/18. We held a successful joint launch of the GP Delivery Framework with the GP Federation on 18 May 2017.
Funding confirmed for 2017/18 to underpin the key areas of the GP Forward View Principles. The implementation of the resilience aspects is being driven through via Lambeth’s GP Federations and an MOU has been put in place to specify the support that will be provided to practices, utilisation of funding and reporting requirements. Assurance reporting to NHSE is on-going.
We continue to work with the GP Federations to improve the utilisation of the access hubs, which are not yet at full capacity.

Following the decision by the GB to close the Walk-in Centre, this was officially closed on 31 March 2017. Work was undertaken with the GP Federations to agree a transition plan that placed additional and re-profiled appointments in the Gracefield Gardens Access Hub. The closure was also supported by a communications plan to raise awareness of the change and to signpost patients to alternative services.
PMS negotiations with the LMC, with GP Federations attending in an advisory capacity, commenced in December 2016 and are expected to conclude by early June 2017 with the new PMS contract to come into force on 1 October 2017. A joint LMC/CCG engagement event with Practices is scheduled for 21 June.
The GP Federations Development Framework for 2017/18 is currently being finalised.
Lambeth CCG has now moved to being fully delegated with the first meeting in public of the Primary Care Commissioning Committee Meeting held on 3 May.
Following the agreement for changes to the Minor Ailment Scheme, all pharmacies have now been advised of the PCCC decision to target the scheme to only the most deprived areas of the borough. Contracts to pharmacies who will continue provision, will initially run until 31 August 2017. The continuation of the scheme past this date is dependent on the Governing Body’s decision in July 2017 regarding the NHS Prescriptions public consultation which ends 23 June 2017.
GP IT refresh of out of warranty equipment took place during Q4. This included PCs, printers, scanners, servers and switches. The process went smoothly and all practices now have equipment that is in warranty. The future roll-outs will take place on a 5-year rolling schedule.
Clinical leadership for mental health continues to develop and supports practices. In quarter 4, the mental health clinical
98
leads have been facilitating the reconciliation of the practice based SMI registers with SLaM records. Clinical information exchange of this type and scale has not been previously successful and the leads have been instrumental in ensuring practices receive, understand, process and return and submit the data and information. Annual appraisals will be conducted to review achievement and areas for development and to produce a work plan for 2017/18.
Lambeth Community Education Provider Network (CEPN) has enabled training and education for the practice nurse workforce throughout the year. Through the recruitment of a lead practice manager, the CEPN facilitated the funding of a programme of training courses for administrative staff and practice managers.
CEPN is also leading on the development of the pharmacists in general practice network.
Key challenges to date: Negotiations with the LMC regarding the PMS Premium – pause
prevented progress. Discussions now proceeding
Negotiations with the Federations over Access Hub Model. Procurement issue now overcome as no challenge to VEAT notice
SELDOC WIC contract – agreement reached with SELDOC for the continuation of the service until 31
st March 2017, which aligns with
implementation of WIC review recommendations
Fully robust budgetary/ contractual control
Key risks 2016-17: Continued poor uptake of extended access hub capacity, especially
on Sundays.
Smooth decommissioning of the Walk in Centre, with patients understanding the changes, how to access hub, to not adversely impact on their care or on A&E attendance.
Federation model doesn’t deliver the changes in primary care models. This is being mitigated through Board to Board discussions and contract meetings.
The re-structure of the Primary Care team still outstanding, leaving key posts vacant.
LCN care coordination milestones have been incorporated into the GP Delivery Framework 2017/19. Discussions on how to utilise both the GP Delivery Framework and PMS premium funding to support transformational change have started. Risks around data sharing and IT platforms to support integrated care planning.

The below sets out the year-end achievement against the three identified priorities detailed above. Delivery is attributable to the efforts of many, not just the OD team. Further context is set out in the OD plan and 2017/18 business plan.
114
2016/17 year-end achievement
1. Develop CCG to best support delivery of the organisation’s priorities
CCG rated as good in the NHS England annual assurance process
Numerous awards and recognition for our innovative work
Programme health check process designed and conducted in Quarter 4 and informed 2017/18 business plan
De-mystifying commissioning designed and delivered to support clinical network members adopt a commissioning
perspective and to harness member engagement. 92% of participants scored course 7/10 or above and there was excellent
qualitative feedback
Approach to member practice events consciously adapted to promote mature dialogue and ownership of membership
OD plan refreshed in October 2016 informed by performance reviews, events and engagement
2. Ensure the CCG supports staff and provides resources to enable them to carry out their work
Positive staff survey results 69% of workforce recommending Lambeth as a place to work, 76% are involved in deciding
changes that affect work (average 60%) 92% confirm training helps them to stay up-to-date (average 80%) 71% have
adequate materials, supplies and equipment to do their work (71% average)
93% study leave applications for CCG staff approved in 2016/17
Range of postgraduate qualifications achieved by members of CCG staff
Outstanding energy and commitment in our all staff events – including personal pledges to address priorities emerging from

where there has been intervention (reference staff survey engagement reports)
3. Assess development needs of Governing Body to enable it to function most effectively
Individual and collective development needs sought through appraisal processes and regular dialogue, as well as review
processes e.g. programme health checks.
GB seminars, individual courses and away times have been informed by those development identified needs. This has
included a review of clinical lead responsibilities (particularly associated with programmes) and GB roles refined for 2017/18
360 stakeholder feedback indicates very positive results with 83% response rate and results are more positive on every
question compared to our own position last year
Key challenges to date Prioritising time and activity for high impact interventions over immediate deliverables Embedding new ways of working
Key risks for 2017-18 Ensuring the organisation continues to prioritise some development time and activity over immediate deliverables

Scope of business area This business area covers both business information support and information systems. This business is provided to
NHS Lambeth CCG by South East CSU.
Objectives of business area
The overall aim of the IM&T enabler work stream is to ensure that good quality clinical information is accessible in an
integrated shared clinical record and to ensure that information systems are available to support the clinical business
needs of NHS Lambeth Clinical Commissioning Group. A robust IT infrastructure needs to be in place to enable this to
happen.
117
Key aims for 2016 – 17:
Ensure smooth transition to new GP IM&T Delivery Partner (NE
London CSU).
Ensure alignment of GP IM&T service delivered by the IM&T Delivery
Partner (NE London CSU) with the NHS England GP IT Operating
Framework, the CCG Practice Agreement and the GP Forward View.
Deploy available capital resources to support GP IT in a timely
manner.
Review General Practice technology requirements, develop bids and
deploy resources to support innovation in Primary Care.
Develop existing digital resources (including clinical content
management system, SMS texting, arrival and calling-in boards and
national systems such as Electronic Prescription Service and NHS e-
Referrals) to work towards Paperless at the Point of Care in Lambeth
by 2020.
Digital Roadmap
Work with the 5 other CCGs in the South East London (SEL) Digital
Footprint (Bexley, Bromley, Greenwich, Lewisham and Southwark) to
develop the SEL Digital Roadmap for submission alongside the SEL
Sustainability and Transformation Plan.
Work with relevant Lambeth Programmes and leads to deliver the
SEL Digital Roadmap Universal Capabilities:
- Professionals across care settings can access GP-held
information on GP-prescribed medications, patient allergies
and adverse reactions
- Clinicians in urgent and emergency care settings can access
key GP-held information for those patients previously
identified by GPs as most likely to present (in U&EC)
- Patients can access their GP record
- GPs can refer electronically to secondary care
Key achievements Quarter 4 (January – March):
Transition to the new GP IM&T Delivery Partner is now complete.
Quality of GP IM&T is judged against the NHS England GP IT Operating
Framework and associated documents and measured using the GP IT
Digital Maturity Assessment. Digital Maturity assessments have been
completed for primary care, secondary care and mental health organisations
Progress continues towards provision of the standard of service specified in
the GP IT Operating Framework.
Orders were placed for hardware for deployment before the end of March
2017. The CCG has been awarded GPIT funding for 2017/18.
Digital Roadmap
The SEL Digital Roadmap is published on the OHSEL website at
http://www.ourhealthiersel.nhs.uk/Downloads/Strategy%20documents/20161

delivery mode focussing on the digital themes:
o Citizens Own Their Health And Care Records
o Digital Access to Care
o Electronic Transfer of Requests and Information
o Sharing Patient Records With Other Care Settings
o Health Records Management
o Underlying Infrastructure
Future governance for the SEL STP Digital Workstream is to be updated,
and will include information governance copnsiderations throughout.
NHS England are prioritising delivery of e-Referrals and Patient Online.

Lambeth Public Health Department and Kings College London continues to
oversee development of Lambeth DataNet.
Lambeth DataNet has won a prestigious HSJ Value Award on 24 May for
Improving the value of Primary Care Services.
The Lambeth Datanet Access Policy has been drafted and reviewed.
Datanet User Acceptance Testing has been concluded.
The data quality testing exercise, undertaken by the Datanet Analyst Group
has also been concluded, which provides assurance that the data stored in
the datanet warehouse is accurate and robust.
Corporate Information Management & Technology
Transfer of corporate IM&T to the new Delivery Partner has happened in
parallel to that for GP IT. Work continued on documenting data files on
the existing servers prior to moving them onto the new servers of the
CCG’s new Delivery Partner.
IM&T Support to Programmes
The Digital Technology Group continues to meet, with a comprehensive
agenda and good representation, including guest presenters.
119
Key outstanding issues:
GP Information Management & Technology
New GP IT service: General Practice aspirations for their IM&T
need to be defined and incorporated into a plan and programme
of work to deliver effective and efficient technology.
Primary Care Digital Maturity: Improvement in Primary Care digital
maturity will be a long-term project. Development of consistent
use of systems such as e-Referral and GP2GP across all
Practices will take effort over a number of years.
Funding: Estates and Technology Transformation Fund bids were
not successful. This has a significant impact on transformation of
Primary Care through use of technology. Alternative funding
sources are being sought.
Digital Roadmap
Once the SEL Digital Roadmap has been submitted, work will
need to begin to set up the structures and implement the
aspirations the Roadmap contains.
Work by Lambeth Programmes on delivery of the Universal
Capabilities is under way. The Universal Capabilities are based
around NHS technologies which have proved difficult to
implement. This means that long-term delivery plans are
required to ensure milestones are met and the technologies are
fully utilised.
Revision of NHS Lambeth CCG’s IM&T Strategy could not begin
until the Primary Care Digital Maturity Assessment and Local
Digital Roadmap were available.
Lambeth DataNet
Whilst some high-level work has been carried out to identify how
Lambeth DataNet can support innovation in Primary Care,
further work is required.
Key risks going into 2016-17:
GP Information Management & Technology
Primary Care DMA: Failure to deliver to Primary Care the GP IT service
specified in the GP IT Operating Model 2016/18 could undermine
transformation in delivery of Primary Care services.
Fundings: Underfunding of the introduction of technology such as e-
consultation and mobile working undermines the ability of Primary Care to
deliver transformation in patient care.
Digital Roadmap
Risks associated with the Local Digital Roadmap are around delivery of
the Universal Capabilities, which involve transformation for primary,
secondary and social care. At this stage these risks await quantification.

Scope of business area This business area is responsible for ensuring maximum use of the CCG commissioned estate across Lambeth.
Objectives of business area
The purpose of the Estates enabling work stream is to make sure that we are getting value for money from the estate
we commission and that this estate supports the delivery of effective and high quality new models of healthcare
provision.
121
Key aims for 2016-17: To Review the potential use of Section 106 Funds already received
and create a plan for allocation
Completion of a Norwood review
Completion of a North Lambeth Feasibility Review
Feasibility review for the Akerman Health Centre to address underutilisation
Secure funding for additional capacity for the Nine Elms Vauxhall Programme
Strategic review on the utilisation of accommodation in each locality
Actively participate in the SEL Estates Enabler Workstream of the Sustainability and Transformation Plan (STP) and ensure that outputs of productivity workstream from pan SEL providers (SLAM, GSTT, KCH) are built into Lambeth Local Estates Planning
Secure Section 106/CIL Funding for the development of Estate within Lambeth
Communicate the Improvement Grant process to all practices
Key Achievements Quarter 4 (January – March):
Gracefield Gardens Estates and Technology Transformation Fund (ETTF) outline business case, which sets out the way in which Gracefield Gardens can accommodate primary care need and maximised service delivery is being completed
The Lambeth One Public Estate (OPE) submission received £275k for projects that include KCH, Ward in the community, Station Road and the Brixton Hub. The bid for the North Lambeth GP Practice relocation was considered business as usual and not funded. A revised bid for this scheme will be submitted when future OPE rounds are confirmed.
Nine Elms Vauxhall practice infrastructure funding was approved in principal by LB Lambeth from Section 106/Community Interest Levy Funding. This bid, alongside the LB Wandsworth funding proposal, was ratified at the NEV Strategy Board on 16 December. Implementation plans are being developed.
The Clapham Park Practice development outline business case was taken to the London Capital Committee (LCC) for approval on 25 May 2017. ‘Soft commitment’ funding for phase 1 has been recommended for inclusion as a Phase 1 ETTF bid. The practice lease expiry date has been extended to 29 June 2017.
The CCG has obtained a letter of support from Metropolitan Housing, providing in principle support for a payment in lieu of providing a GP Practice as part of the Clapham Park Estate development. The CCG is bidding for this as Community Interest Levy (CIL) funding through LB Lambeth Council.
Stockwell Section 106 funding request was submitted to the council for their consideration in the early part of April 2017
Three CCG practices received improvement Grants in the 2016/7 programme, Binfield Surgery, Hurley Clinic and Herne Hill Road Group practice, the total value of these bids amount to £182,710
The CCG Governing Body recommended approval of the
Estates
122
extension of the Lower Marsh lease for CCQ headquarters.
Key challenges to date: Section 106 funds are utilised to most effectively deliver estates
improvement
NEV Business case successfully awarding Lambeth with funds to
develop the affected practices
Engagement with other providers to develop co-location plans
Unsuccessful ETTF Application, plans for alternative funding
Securing a value for money rent at Lower Marsh or alternative
location
Key risks 2016-17:
Nine Elms residents arrive in advance of accommodation being funded and ready for occupation in Wandsworth will impact in Lambeth
Secure Section 106/CIL Funding for the development of estates within Lambeth within competing resources
Clapham Park Practice lease expiry
Lower Marsh Lease expiry
Lack of estates capacity at CCG level to support deliver of estates strategy. The CCG is currently discussing collaborative arrangements with Bromley and Greenwich CCGs.

Staff turnover
The turnover rate for March 2017 is 0%. The overview of the last 12 months is inconsistent with increases and decreases each month peaking in August 2016. Generally speaking the CCG has a higher turnover rate than the national average (which may be attributable to the London factor) although the position has improved since November 2016 with the CCG registering a zero percentage rate for the months of December 2016 to March 2017. The national CCG average rate for January 2017 was 1.73%, this is the latest data that can be retrieved from Iview.
Starters - Rolling 12 Months (Headcount & FTE)
There has been 1 starter in March 2017 and over the year, starters have been inconsistant month on month, with a peak in June 2016.
Leavers - Rolling 12 Months (Headcount & Fte)
There have been 11 leavers over the rolling year and 1 in March 2017. Each month has been quite consistant with 1 or 2 employees leaving, apart from August which saw the amount of leavers rise to 3.
Employee Relations cases
Lambeth CCG has been called to attend an employment tribunal in early May 2017 as part of a challenge associated with the recruitment and selection to a role within the CCG. Una Dalton, Director of Governance and Development can provide further information as required. There are no other cases progressing through the formal stages of a HR policy although a number of cases are being managed in line with the informal stage of a HR policy.

7.2 Serious Incidents
NHS England published a revised Serious Incident (SI) Framework in March 2015.
Serious Incidents are defined as:
Acts and/or omissions resulting in unexpected or avoidable death of one or more people;
includes suicide/self-inflicted death and homicide by a person in receipt of mental health
care within the recent past;
Unexpected or avoidable injury to one or more people that has resulted in serious harm;
Unexpected or avoidable injury to one or more people that requires further treatment by a
healthcare professional in order to prevent the death of the service user or serious harm;
Actual or alleged abuse where healthcare did not take appropriate action/intervention to
safeguard against such abuse occurring or where abuse occurred during the provision of
NHS-funded care.
A Never Event
An incident (or series of incidents) that prevents, or threatens to prevent, an
organisation’s ability to continue to deliver an acceptable quality of healthcare services,
including (but not limited to) failures in the security, integrity, accuracy or availability of
information; Property damage; Security breach/concern; Incidents in population-wide
healthcare activities like screening and immunisation programmes; Inappropriate
enforcement/care under the Mental Health Act (1983) and the Mental Capacity Act (2005)
including Deprivation of Liberty Safeguards (MCA DOLS); Systematic failure to provide an
acceptable standard of safe care or Activation of Major Incident Plan
Major loss of confidence in the service, including prolonged adverse media coverage or
public concern about the quality of healthcare or an organisation.
Incidents Requiring Investigation
In Quarter 4 2016/17 a total of 51 incidents were reported to the CCG via STEIS.
It is possible that SIs reported during this period may be de-escalated at a later date if found not
to meet the criteria following further investigation. One SI for SLaM has been de-esaclated since
it was reported. Therefore, 50 SI’s required evaluation as per Table 1.
Table 1: Q4 2016/17 Serious Incidents requiring investigation reported by provider

KCH 1 1 3
SLaM 0 1 3 NOTE: GSTFT = Guy’s and St Thomas’s NHS Foundation Trust; KCH = King’s College Hospital NHS Foundation Trust; SLaM = South London and Maudsley NHS Foundation Trust
GSTFT reported serious incident numbers are larger than KCH and SLaM as they include all
incidents. KCH SIs are only for Lambeth residents. All of the incidents reported by SLaM related
to Lambeth patients.

Pending review 2 0 0
Accident meeting SI criteria 1 0 0 NOTE: GSTFT = Guy’s and St Thomas’s NHS Foundation Trust; KCH = King’s College Hospital NHS Foundation Trust; SLaM = South London and Maudsley NHS Foundation Trust; LCCG = Lambeth CCG
Of the incidents reported by GSTFT, all 41 required investigation.
The Serious Incident Framework requires that serious incident investigation reports are submitted to the
CCG within 60 working days of the incident reported on STEIS. Overall, 79% of reports from GSTFT and
25% from SLaM due for submission within the quarter were submitted on time.
The Serious Incident Framework allows the CCG twenty calendar days to evaluate a submitted serious incident investigation report. NHS Lambeth CCG evaluated 51% of submitted SI reports within the stated timeframe.
7.3 Never Events
NHS England published a revised Never Events Policy and Framework along with the revised Serious
Incident Framework in March 2015.
The definition of a Never Event has also revised:
They are wholly preventable, where guidance or safety recommendations that provide strong
systemic protective barriers are available at a national level, and should have been implemented
by all healthcare providers
Each type has potential to cause serious patient harm or death (but may not).
Evidence that never event type has occurred in the past and risk of recurrence remains.
Occurrence of the Never Event is easily recognised and clearly defined.
One never event was reported by GSTFT in Q4. This was a wrong site surgery. All serious incident issues are followed up at on-going provider Serious Incident Monitoring meetings for each provider, this includes reviewing the progress of overdue investigation reports. These meetings are chaired by the CCG Clinical Quality Lead. Serious incidents are closed by the CCG through the Serious Incident Review Group, which is a sub-committee of the Integrated Governance Committee.

7.4 Freedom of Information (FOI) NHS NEL Commissioning Support Unit (NEL CSU) provides a complete Freedom of Information service to NHS Lambeth CCG. This report covers requests made to CCG under the Freedom of Information Act 2000 (FOI(A)) in 2017/18 Quarter 1 to date (1 April 2017 to 30 June 2017). It also includes requests made under Environmental Information Regulations 2004 (EIR) and requests made under the Re-Use of Public Sector Information Regulation 2015 (RPSI). The number of requests received by the CCG is similar to the number of requests received by other CCGs for whom NEL CSU provides an FOI service, although at the lower end. The table below shows the number of requests received by month and by quarter for the financial year 2017/18. It also shows the number of requests received in 2016/17 for comparison. Table 1.

The CCG has so far achieved a 100% response rate for 2017/18 Quarter 1. This is an excellent achievement which maintains the very high standard achieved in the previous two quarters and far exceeds the current good practice guidance suggested by the ICO. NEL CSU’s FOI Team continues to work hard with CCG staff to ensure the number of occasions on which the CCG are unable to respond within the 20 workings days is kept to a minimum
