Transition and Reform Local Level: • Will undertake a managed consolidation of PCT capacity, Clusters. Will have a single Executive Team and be in place by June 2011. • Includes requirement for £2 per head development fund – funded from management cost savings Stronger Contracting: • All contracts must be signed by start of financial year. • PCTs to ensure that contracts allow for Providers to manage demand in their own organisations. • PCT to use contract sanctions if not satisfied with data. SUS will be standard repository by April 2012 and progress towards deadline performance managed in 2011/12
Service Quality QIPP: • Commitment to £20bn efficiency challenge, despite changed assumptions of CSR and pay freeze • QIPP to be embedded in a single operational plan for each SHA and PCT Key New Commitments: • New coalition commitments e.g. more Health Visitors and Family Nurse Partnership expansion
Finance and Business Rules Surplus Strategy: • Expected drawdown of SHA / PCT surplus will be £150m (c.15%) • No PCT to plan operating deficit in 2011/12. Trust deficits planned only where part of a planned recovery, in agreement with DH and SHA • Requirement for 2% of PCT recurrent resource to be spent non recurrently for each PCT • 2% will be held by SHA and accessed only through agreement of business case • GP consortia will not be responsible for resolving legacy debt that arose prior to 2011/12. PCTs must ensure that debt issues are resolved by the end of 2012/13 • GP consortia to work closely with PCTs to prevent PCT deficits over the next two years
Finance and Business Rules PCT Allocations: • Average growth in recurrent allocations is 2.2%. • Including non recurrent allocations for social care, PDS, GOS and pharmacy average increases of 3%. Running Costs • 2010/11 last year for reporting PCT, SHA and Provider management costs. For SHA and PCTs will be replaced by “running costs” from 2011/12. By 2014/15 running costs to reduce by one third from current (2010/11). Details to be provided as part of Planning Guidance. • GP consortia could have a running cost allowance of £25 - £35 per head by 2014/15
Finance and Business Rules Capital: • Trusts: Primary source of funding will continue to be internally generated cash and interest bearing loans • Capital allocation unspent from 10/11 not carried forward • No expectation that a central capital budget programme will exist in 11/12. All capital requirements will be handled as part of planning process • Regime for new community Trusts will follow NHS Trusts • Spending review means smaller financial envelope for capital. Trusts are expected to prioritise backlog maintenance and patient safety, privacy and dignity • PCTs: There will be no automatic capital allocation for PCTs with funding being granted on a cases by case basis
Finance and Business Rules Tariff: • Increase in use of Best Practice Tariffs. • Reduction in payments for short stay patients attracting a long stay tariff • All tariffs set 1% below average cost (Originally this was targeted to certain tariffs only). • Result of these changes is that published tariff will reduce by 2%. Inflation of 0.5% added to this – net effect 1.5% reduction. • Non tariff services also subject to 1.5% reduction • 4% provider efficiency to offset 2.5% pay and prices inflation
Finance and Business Rules Tariff: • Adult Renal Dialysis comes into scope of PbR. • Changes to A&E, Specialist Tops Ups, Critical Care currencies • Service users in Mental Health allocated to tariff clusters • 30% marginal rate continues for emergency activity over the 08/09 baseline • No payment for Emergency readmissions following Elective admissions, local agreement about other readmissions within 30 days • Option to provide services at lower than national tariff • Actual impact of 11/12 tariff on PCTs is most closely aligned with most favourable WCC scenario from 10/11
