Equity and Excellence: Liberating the NHS Announcing the paper on 12 July, the Secretary of State for Health, Andrew Lansley, reiterated three key principles: • patients at the centre of the NHS • a change in the emphasis of measurement to focus on clinical outcomes • empowering health professionals, GPs in particular Views and comments on the consultation to: nhswhitepaper@dh.gsi.gov.uk
Equity and Excellence: Liberating the NHS • Is genuinely centred around patients (‘No decision about me without me’); • Achieves quality and outcomes that are among the best in the world; • Refuses to tolerate unsafe and substandard care; • Eliminates discrimination and works to tackle inequalities; • Puts clinicians in the driving seat – GP Consortia; • Is more transparent, with greater accountability for results; • Gives citizens more say in how the NHS is run; • Works much better across boundaries, for example with local authorities; • Is more efficient and dynamic with less bureaucracy; • Is free from frequent and arbitrary national political meddling.
Challenges and Opportunities • £15-20 billion of efficiency savings – QIPP • NHS Management Costs reduced by more than 45% over the next four years • Transforming Community Services • Benefits to patients • GP-led commissioning consortia • Establishment of local Health and Wellbeing Boards to strengthen democratic legitimacy and join up the commissioning of NHS services with social care and health improvement • Reduction in the number of NHS bodies – review of arms length bodies in progress e.g. National Patient Safety Agency; abolition of SHAs and PCTs • Monitor will be developed into an economic regulator and the Care Quality Commission will act as a quality inspectorate across health and social care • National consultation until 5 October
Future Commissioning • The opportunity of a flexible and responsive market • More freedom to innovate, improve productivity and deliver better outcomes for patients and their families – using your unique understanding of patients and their needs • Improving pathways - right time, right place, right services (focus on prevention / early intervention • Better use of our staff, resources and money Key change principles: • Subsidiarity – things should be done at the right level • Co-production – decisions in partnership • Clinical ownership and leadership • System alignment – the NHS is a system, not an organisation Stay flexible – detail is still awaited…
