  1. New approaches within the Health Sector Andrew Nicholson Business Advisor May 2007

  2. Aims • To provide an overview of the Trust Foundation Trust status • To describe the application process and impact for the Mobility Service

  3. NTW Overview • Formed through merger of three Trusts in April 2006 • Covers population of 1.4 million; wider for specialist services • Financial budget of circa £280m • Five clinical Directorates; Mobility part of Children, Young People and Specialist Services • Aim to be FT in April 2008

  4. Foundation Trust Freedoms • Financial Freedoms • Freedom to retain surpluses • Freedom to borrow (but very limited use) • Freedom from over-regulation (not the experience yet) • Freedom to set own strategy and manage implications (but within a requirement to fully meet NHS targets) • Freedoms very much dependent on overall risk rating • Restructured Governance • Greater public involvement • Greater staff involvement

  5. Planning Framework

  6. Defining Service Lines • Service Lines should be: • The building blocks of the business model • Providing a distinct service offering • Governed by common standards/outputs • Of sufficient size to enable effective service/ business modelling-manageable no. overall • Governed by specific policy • Proposal to use distinct parts of pathway • Single service units serving multiple markets

  7. Service Lines

  8. Service Line Analysis • Need a plan and risk/market assessment for each service line. • For Mobility these included: • Satellite service in Cumbria • Closure of national tertiary service • Replacement and renewal of car fleet • Waiting times • etc

  9. What is Monitor looking? • Realism – not optimism nor pessimism • Forward understanding of tariff (market awareness) • Detailed understanding of service line profitability • Bottom up planned CIPs not balancing figure! • Reflects strategy (joined up story) • Thought through balance sheet – not flat lined!

  10. Example of using Service Line Analysis

  11. Summary • Financial targets can be met by expansion not just cost cutting • FT status includes terms like ‘market analysis’ and ‘profit’ • FT application leads to more detailed planning at an individual service level • FT rewards profitable services achieving targets with freedom to develop
