  1. NHS Yorkshire & the Humber Major service change and the Service Change Assurance Process 2010

  2. What is major service change? NHS Yorkshire and the Humber recognise ‘major service change’ as change programmes where one or more of the following criteria applies: • The proposals constitute substantial variations to or developments of health services and the local Overview and Scrutiny Committee require a formal public consultation in line with section 244 of NHS Act 2006 • Proposals are likely to be contentious • The scheme will see significant change in use of NHS buildings e.g. closure • The scheme is of significant financial size and/or procurement In all these cases the NHS Yorkshire and the Humber Service Change Assurance Process should be applied.

  3. Who has responsibility in service change?

  4. What is the SCAP? • SHA has a duty to assure all major reconfiguration schemes – the vehicle for which is the Service Change Assurance Process (SCAP) • Established in 2007 the SCAP is mandatory for all schemes seeking to progress to formal public consultation • The SCAP has been regularly refreshed to ensure it remains fit for purpose (latest October ‘10)

  5. Why have a SCAP? • To ensure best practice standards • To minimise the risks for NHS organisations in particular the risk of judicial review and OSC referral of service change to Secretary of State. • To meet all recommendations set in national policy and guidance, including: The Sir Ian Carruthers review (February 2007); ‘Our NHS, our future’ (October 2007); ‘Leading Local Change’ (May 2008); ‘Changing for the Better’ (May 2008); and the refreshed Operating Framework 2010-11 (2010). • The SCAP assures stakeholders that service change and reconfiguration programmes are in line with national and regional policy, managed effectively and realise their expected benefits An organization which does not achieve all required standards will not be supported to proceed by the SHA

  6. How does the SCAP work? Pre-change discussion with SHA Lead

  9. Issues / Assurances • We will ensure proportionality of the process to the scale of the service change (whilst fulfilling the requirements of national policy).We will work with health communities on a one to one basis to ensure that involvement and engagement of the local population is undertaken in the most appropriate way. • The SHA process will not slow major service change down (schemes will be turned around within a fortnight of full documentation being submitted. • However we are reliant on the services of NCAT and Gateway teams and the more notice we can give the teams the more likely we are to ensure the review(s) fit with the timescales of local commissioners.

  10. How do I find out more? • Early service change conversations with the SHA can help test ideas, share best practice from other schemes and enable effective planning • SCAP summary document and a detailed guide are available on the SHA website • SHA lead for reconfiguration is Tim Barton, Strategy Lead, 0113 2953636 tim.barton@yorksandhumber.nhs.uk
