CONTEXT • This report provides information to the Shadow Health & Wellbeing Board on proposed savings in 2012/13 against the commissioning budgets delegated to the CCG • The CCGs plan was to consider a 3% saving across all budgets (both delegated and those held by NHS ELC) as this would cover the financial gap for 12/13 • For spend in the acute (hospital) sector CSS provided benchmarked information on where efficiencies could be achieved • All savings proposals have been put through a “clinical challenge” process for CCG clinical leads to discuss the assumptions and impact, and through a financial challenge – CSS Director of Finance has been asked to assess all plans and assure CCG on their deliverability • All plans have been discussed at the CCG Committee • Total savings proposed are £9m
ACUTE CARE • The main savings will be subject to contract negotiations but are aimed at commissioning “best practice” • Reducing out patient followups (£2.6m) • CCG audits have been undertaken to understand the implications • Impact at all Trusts – BLT has biggest potential to reduce activity • Reducing new GP referrals (£130k) • Continuing CCG work on implementing new pathways • Implementing new contractual arrangements for some services (£770k) • Reductions in attendances at A&E as a result of 111/new out of hours model (£500k) • Reductions in activity if walk in centres close (£650k) • Transfer of dental activity from Homerton to community (£200k) • Reduction in spend by practices (£90k)
