“That leaves 60 organisations … that will not remain in their current form, which leads to the issue of how you reconfigure” Andrew Cash Director General – Provider Development Department of Health
Era in rapid growth ends in 2008 3% ?? National Context – a critical year • 2007/8 is a turning point. Why? • 2007/8 Operating Framework • sort the money out • achieve recurrent stability • limited national priorities • devolved central budgets • 2008/9 • free choice • waiting in effect eliminated • full PbR in operation • and…
Financial requirements • All organisations to at minimum break-even with general expectation of surplus • 2006/07 in-year deficits recovered by organisations • All cash support will be interest-bearing via national loans/deposits scheme with SHA as gateway • PCTs to demonstrate the creation of an uncommitted reserve of at least 2% in 2007/2008 plans • PCTs to demonstrate a bottom-line shift in activity from hospital to community and place a value on that
Cost improvement and efficiency • We will expect cost reductions to be a minimum of 3.5% on top of any local issues • Henceforth we will distinguish between Cost reduction plans & Business improvement plans • We will expect further reductions in workforce costs & headcount for all secondary care providers as part of CIPs and as necessary preparation for 2008/09 • We will set up a Regional Clearing House service to support shifts across organisations & 2°→1° care
Other key assumptions • The “full cost recovery” principle will apply to PCT provided services and to be demonstrated in 2008/09 • Much greater scrutiny of prescribing plans - Keele analysis shows potential for major savings on statins and other drugs not being realised • PCTs to adopt 30-day payment limits in all transactions with NHS Trusts – track in FIMs • All capital will be accessed through interest-bearing debt - SHA will publish tests shortly (including ROI criteria)
Payment By Results • Tariff uplift of 2.5% • Emergency threshold of 50% at 2005/06 outturn • PPA 50% → 25% and will be removed in 2008/09 • Capping: existing rules apply but may be local flexibility for biggest impact (7.5% of turnover) • Unbundling: Presumption in favour
Some absolute standards for March 2008 • 5 weeks maximum wait for outpatients • 6 weeks maximum wait for MRI/CT/Other diagnostics • 11 weeks maximum wait for inpatients • 18 weeks RRT: 85% unplanned, 95% planned • GUM: maximum wait of 48 hours for urgent appointment • MRSA: 60% reduction on 2003/04 base or n<12 • 5% reduction in emergency beddays on 2003/4 base
Our Key Test of Local Delivery Plans • Are Boards signed up to plans? • Are plans based in a long-term financial strategy? • Are plans based in a strategic commissioning vision? • Can PCTs set out a public statement of what will be achieved this year? • Do plans address national priority areas and achieve national targets? • Are plans internally consistent (esp. links of activity, workforce, expenditure)? • Are plans shared across a health economy? • Are plans consistent with scale of challenge? • Are plans realistic and deliverable? • Do plans use opportunities provided by System Reforms?
