HSC BOARD PERFORMANCE REPORT – 2015/16 (Month 3 – June 2015)
Purpose
This paper provides Board members with an assessment of performance against the 2015/16
standards and targets set out in the Minister’s Commissioning Plan Direction (Northern Ireland)
2015. The position regionally and by Trust at the end of June 2015 for the targets and
standards that the Board is responsible for monitoring and where monitoring information is
currently available is set out in Annex A.
An update on end of year performance for a range of 2014/15 target areas and indicators of
performance where information was previously not available due to the three month period
allowed to facilitate coding within Trusts is provided at Annexes B and C respectively.
Performance Management Reporting
The Department has asked the HSC Board to establish a short-life working group with
representation from all Trusts to bring forward proposals to improve the consistency, scope and
timeliness of the performance reports produced by the Department, HSC Board and Trusts.
This group has recently been established and will review the existing arrangements and bring
forward proposals for the Department’s consideration on the core elements and format for all
organisations’ published performance reports. It should be noted that there will be no change to
the Board’s existing performance reporting arrangements until the outcome of this process is
known, and Board members’ views on the revised format will be sought before the proposals
are finalised.
Performance
The key performance challenges, including the reasons for the current performance and the
actions being taken to address these, largely remain as reported at previous Board meetings.
An update on performance in a number of these areas is provided below – full details are
provided in Annex A.
1. Elective Care (including Diagnostics)
The number of patients waiting longer than the Ministerial maximum waiting time for a first
outpatient appointment has continued to increase during the first quarter of this year – at the
end of June 2015: 39% of patients were waiting less than nine weeks for a first outpatient
2
appointment; 129,697 patients were waiting longer than nine weeks; and, 86,127 were
waiting longer than 18 weeks.

Waiting times for inpatient or daycase treatment have also increased since the end of
March 2015 however, to a much lesser extent than for an outpatient assessment – at the
end of June 2015: 52% of patients were waiting less than 13 weeks for treatment; 29,028
patients were waiting longer than 13 weeks and 14,777 were waiting longer than 26 weeks.

There has also been a further increase in the number of patients waiting longer than 52
weeks – at the end of June 2015, 10,143 patients were waiting longer than 52 weeks for an
outpatient assessment and 3,406 were waiting longer than a year for surgery.

The increase in waiting times is due to a number of factors including a year-on-year
increase in referrals of approximately 6%, agreed volumes of funded activity not being fully
delivered across a number of specialties by some providers, and the impact of the wider
financial position.
Regionally during quarter one of this year, there has been a 6% underdelivery of
commissioned volumes of core activity for new outpatient assessments compared with 7%
during 2014/15. In relation to inpatient/daycase treatment, the scale of underdelivery during
quarter one (6%) is unchanged from the position during 2014/15.

The Board has provided significant recurrent investments to Trusts in recent years for
elective care and further investments are planned in 2015/16 - £24m was invested in
2014/15 and there are plans to invest a further £7m this year. However, notwithstanding
these investments, demand has continued to increase and significant capacity gaps remain
in a number of specialties. Subject to the availability of funding, the Board will continue to
make targeted recurrent investments to expand health service capacity in specialties where
the commissioned volumes of core activity are being delivered and where it is confident that
the additional activity associated with the investment can be delivered within agreed
timescales. It should be noted however, that there are a number of limiting factors, besides
the financial position, to expanding health service capacity including, in particular, medical
workforce issues and challenges securing other required resources (e.g. theatres).
Pending the implementation of recurrent solutions, the Board has previously funded Trusts
to undertake additional activity (in-house or, as appropriate, in the Independent Sector). As
previously reported, given the current financial position, there is unlikely to be any
significant additional outpatient or inpatient/daycase activity in 2015/16 in specialties where
there is an agreed recurrent capacity gap and, regrettably, this will result in a continued
increase in the number of patients waiting longer than the Ministerial maximum waiting time
standards for elective care.
7
In order to minimise the increase in waiting times associated with the shortfall in funding,
the Board will continue to work with Trusts to maximise the delivery of funded capacity and
ensure the application of good waiting list management practice, including assessing and
treating urgent cases first, and thereafter seeing and treating patients in chronological order.
In addition, the Board is continuing to monitor Trusts’ performance against the elective
improvement plans that were produced for specialties where there was a material
underdelivery of core capacity in 2014/15 and an associated increase in waiting times, to
ensure that progress is on track to deliver the agreed outcomes. In any areas where this is
not the case, these are raised at the regular elective performance meetings with Trusts to
discuss what remedial actions the Trust plans to take.
Regionally during June 2015, diagnostics waiting times have remained broadly unchanged
compared with the previous month – at 30 June, 22,821 patients were waiting longer than
nine weeks for a diagnostic test.

Given that diagnostics are essential in diagnosing patient conditions and enabling a
treatment plan to be put in place for patients, the Board has prioritised the allocation of the
limited funding currently available for elective care in 2015/16 for diagnostics. Non-

recurrent funding to enable Trusts to continue to undertake additional diagnostics activity in
Q1/Q2 has been confirmed to Trusts however, given the time required to put arrangements
in place for the additionality, the increase in waiting times during quarter one is not
unexpected as, in some areas, there will have been a pause in additional activity being
undertaken during this time.
2. Emergency Department (ED) (4-hour and 12-hour standards)
Regionally during June 2015, 236 patients waited longer than 12 hours in ED – this
represents a reduction compared with May 2015 (389) and on the same month last year
(293). In particular, it should be noted that there were no patients waited longer than 12
hours during June in Southern and Western Trusts. Furthermore, there has been a notable
reduction in the number of patients who waited longer than 12 hours in Belfast and Northern
Trusts during June 2015 (95 and five respectively) compared with the previous month (212
and 75 respectively).

Improving performance against the 4 and 12 hour standards remains a priority for the Board
and it is continuing to work with Trusts to expand 7 day services to improve patient flow,
taking forward recommendations from the Unscheduled Care Task Group.
3. Cancer Services
Regionally during June 2015, performance against the 14-day breast cancer standard has
remained largely unchanged from the previous month – 81% of urgent referrals were seen
within 14 days compared to 82% in May 2015. Where patients were not seen within 14
days during June, the longest wait was 28 days with the exception of one patient in Belfast
Trust who waited a maximum of 33 days.

Cancer Services (Breast) - % within 14 daysTrust
As previously reported, the decline in the regional position is primarily due to performance in
the Belfast Trust which has improved slightly in June to 27%. Given the seriousness of this
position and the need to improve access to the Breast Service for women with suspect
cancer as a matter of urgency, the Board has worked closely with Belfast Trust to agree a
number of actions to improve waiting times in both the short and medium terms. In the
short term, the Board has worked with the Trust to secure additional capacity from other
Trusts. This has involved the temporary re-direction of urgent referrals for patients who
reside outside the Belfast Trust locality to the Trust area where the patient lives. At this
stage, it is anticipated that these arrangements will remain in place until end of August.
Furthermore, Belfast Trust has put a number of additional clinics in place during August to
increase capacity and reduce waiting times.
With regard to the medium/longer term solution, the Board has approved the allocation of
recurrent funding to Belfast Trust to appoint an additional Breast Care Nurse and Staff
Grade to enable the Trust to better respond to fluctuations in demand. The recruitment
process for these additional staff is currently underway. Discussions are also underway
between the Board and Trust to agree the level of recurrent investment required to support
the introduction of a fourth one-stop clinic.
11
While performance is not expected to improve significantly during July 2015 when there are
particular staffing challenges, the Trust does expect to deliver a material improvement from
August onwards. The Board has also required the Trust to ensure that no patient waits
longer than 28 days during July and that this maximum waiting time reduces considerably
from August onwards.
Regionally during June 2015, 97% of patients diagnosed with cancer received their first
definitive treatment within 31 days of a decision to treat.

Trusts are continuing to focus on reducing the number of patients who are waiting in excess
of 62 days and a reduction in the length of time patients are waiting. The Board is working
closely with Trusts to identify best practice in relation to patient pathways and to agree
processes to ensure that this can be adopted across all Trusts in order to improve patient
waiting times.
4. Psychological Therapies
At the end of June 2015, 920 patients were waiting longer than 13 weeks to access
psychological therapies – this is broadly unchanged from the position at the end of March
2015 (912).

Psychological Therapies Services - Breach Analysis June 2015
More than half (437) of patients waiting longer than 13 weeks to access psychological
therapies at the end of June 2015 were in the South Eastern Trust. Regionally, the
majority (85%) of patients waiting longer than 13 weeks are waiting to access adult mental
health (565) and adult health psychology services (220). A detailed update on the issues
impacting on waiting time performance regionally and the actions being taken to address
these was provided at the April 2015 Board meeting.

Conclusion
More detail on the actions being taken in relation to these and other performance areas will be
provided by the relevant Directors at the Board meeting.

STANDARD / TARGET Trend Analysis Comments
To provide high quality, safe and effective care; to listen to and learn from patient and client experiences; and to ensure high levels of patient and client satisfaction. Unplanned admissions (target) – by March 2016, reduce the number of unplanned admissions to hospital by 5% for adults with specified long-term conditions, including those within the ICP priority areas.
Trusts are permitted three months to complete clinical coding therefore monitoring information for April 2015 will be reported at the Board meeting in September 2015.
Unplanned admissions (target) – during 2015/16, ensure that unplanned admissions to hospital for acute conditions which should normally be managed in the primary or community setting, do not exceed 2013/14 levels.
Trusts are permitted three months to complete clinical coding therefore monitoring information for April 2015 will be reported at the Board meeting in September 2015.

The maximum waiting time from referral to commencement of AHP treatment has increased from 9 weeks in 2014/15 to 13 weeks from April 2015. Due to technical issues following a recent system upgrade, Belfast Trust has been unable to provide details of the number of patients waiting longer than 13 weeks at end of June 2015. Across the remaining four Trusts, at the end of June 2015, 8,741 patients were waiting longer than 13 weeks compared with 7,854 at the end of May 2015. During 2014/15, significant work was undertaken by the PHA, Board and Trusts to standardise the definitions and guidance and to put in place arrangements to consistently report AHP performance in line with these definitions. The Board and PHA are using the enhanced activity and waiting time information to inform discussions with each Trust to agree the available capacity and any recurrent capacity gaps within each of the AHP services. This exercise has been completed for the Western Trust and the Board/PHA will now proceed to undertake a similar exercise with each of remaining Trusts.

Cancer - % treated within 62 days
Performance against the 62-day standard has reduced compared with the previous month – during June 2015, 69% of patients urgently referred with a suspected cancer began their first definitive treatment within 62 days compared to 73% in May. Trusts are continuing to focus on reducing the number of patients who are waiting in excess of 62 days and a reduction in the length of time patients are waiting. The Board is working closely with Trusts to identify best practice in relation to patient pathways and to agree processes to ensure that this can be adopted across all Trusts in order to improve patient waiting times.

Regionally during June 2015, 236 patients waited longer than 12 hours in ED – this represents a reduction compared with May 2015 (389) and on the same month last year (293). In particular, it should be noted that there were no patients waited longer than 12 hours during June in Southern and Western Trusts. Furthermore, there has been a notable reduction in the number of patients who waited longer than 12 hours in Belfast and Northern Trusts during June 2015 (95 and five respectively) compared with the previous month (212 and 75 respectively). In relation to the 4-hour standard, performance improved during June 2015 (78%) compared with the previous month (76%) and is broadly unchanged from the same month last year (79%). Improving performance against the 4 and 12 hours standard remains a priority for the Board and it is continuing to work with Trusts to expand 7 day services to improve patient flow, taking forward recommendations from the Unscheduled Care Task Group.
Unscheduled care 2 (standard) – from April 2015, no patient attending any Emergency Department should wait longer than 12 hours.

Regionally during June 2015, 53% of Category A calls were responded to within eight minutes (target: 72.5% by March 2016). As previously reported, ambulance response times have been impacted by an increase in the number of calls responded to and staffing issues. The Trust is taking forward a number of actions to address these issues including, a significant recruitment and training programme for operational staff, and a continued focus on the management of staff absence. In addition, the Board will be working with NIAS to take forward a detailed demand and capacity exercise during 2015/16.
Emergency readmissions (target) – by March 2016, secure a 5% reduction in the number of emergency readmissions within 30 days.

The majority (89) of the patients waiting longer than nine weeks are in the Northern Trust. The Northern Trust has reported that this position is as a result of a shortfall in capacity due to staffing issues (vacancies and other staff absences). The Trust has a recovery plan in place and had initially forecast that it would achieve the nine-week maximum waiting time standard by end of July however, there have been further staffing issues and the Trust has advised that it will not now achieve nine weeks until December 2015.
