5 Stephen Harrhy, Interim Specialised and Tertiary Services. Mr Harrhy confirmed that the integrated commissioning plan for specialised services forms part of the Health Boards'and key providers' integrated plans. This link has been highlighted by Welsh Government. He noted that the Integrated Commissioning Plan for specialised services had been reviewed by Welsh Government only recently and that this had impacted on getting the final plan out to Members. Mr Harrhy provided Members with information on how the integrated commissioning plan had been developed. He reported that the business cases received from providers had been reviewed and would need to be discussed further, once amendments had been received, at a future Joint Committee. Mr Harrhy reported that there are five streams of priorities within the integrated commissioning plan. These are patient safety and outcomes, ministerial priorities, evidence assessment, new business cases, and decisions in year that have a future impact. He noted that the during the three year cycle all services included within the plan will be subject to the key commissioning process which includes: Evidence Assessment; Commissioning Policies; Service Specifications; Quality and Outcome Measures; Impact Assessment; Performance Management/Contracting; Page 5 of 29 6 May 2014

6 and Review and Evaluation. In a response to Mr Bob Hudson, Mr Harrhy reported that for patient engagement a number of national specialised groups are consulted, as well as the CHCs. It was noted that the baseline net costs within the integrated plan reflect the costs agreed for 2013/14 rather than the outturn for 2013/14. At present the costs do include emergency ambulance services. Mrs Allison Williams reported the feedback she had received from the Cwm Taf UHB members who sit on the Management Group and indicated that she is not satisfied that the scrutiny process is complete. In response Mr Harrhy noted the steps that had been taken to align the integrated commissioning plan for specialised services with Health Board plans. He also noted that Management Group members had been asked at the last meeting to feedback their comments ahead of the papers being prepared for this Joint Committee and that no comments had been received. Therefore it had been concluded that the integrated commissioning plan for specialised services was consistent with Health Board plans. Mr Harrhy confirmed that all providers have been informed that business cases will not be accepted in year unless there are exceptional circumstances. Members discussed the financial implications of the plan, the assumptions made and the processes followed within Health Boards. Members also discussed what assumptions in Page 6 of 29 6 May 2014

7 relation to specialised services had been included within the Health Board plans and the possible impact of not adopting the plan. The impact of the discussions on the evidence appraisal approach was also noted. Members also noted the need to consider actions that could be taken, for example where performance in specialised services is not improving Mr Harrhy continued the presentation, reporting that performance, quality and patient experience had been included within the plan. He provided Members with specific examples. In response to a question on managing expectations, Mr Harrhy noted that WHSSC have been learning from past experience and the current approach is to be open and honest with pressure groups. The mechanisms used have been dependent on the specialty. Mr Harrhy also noted the links with Health Board arrangements. Mr David Wilmott provided Members with a specific example by highlighting that in the Gender Partnership Board it has been made clear that the pathway redesign needs to be within the current funds. Mr Harrhy drew attention to the new treatments considered through evidence appraisal providing Members with examples. He also noted the prudent healthcare work where demand reduction is being considered. Mr Harrhy continued the presentation by drawing Members attention to the top 10 priorities within plan. He noted the need to consider the key risks and ensure that these are included within the plan. Page 7 of 29 6 May 2014

8 The implementation of the plan was also raised by Mr Harrhy. He noted the LHB requirements and emphasised the links to the specialised services integrated commissioning plan. Mr Harrhy also noted the provider requirements, the need to assess the risk and impact of the plans and the steps required to mitigate risks and finally the link to Collaborative Commissioning. Mr Harrhy highlighted that in order to provide financial discipline, WHSSC needs some degree of certainty around financial assumptions. This will ensure that the best value is achieved through the commissioning plan. It was AGREED that the WAST issues would be included in the legacy statement from WHSSC to the newly formed Emergency Ambulance Services Committee. Members also AGREED that very detailed scrutiny on the business cases for cardiac and liver was required. Members discussed the plan at length and raised a range of issues, following which the Interim Chair summarised the key points of the discussions: Members could not approve the integrated commissioning plan for specialised services at this stage because the financial position for NHS Wales is not yet balanced; Members did broadly support the direction of the plan. However further work was required to limit some of the costs including: Finance Interim Specialised and Tertiary Service Page 8 of 29 6 May 2014

9 o Reassurance on some of the demand costs; o A small working group representing the Directors of Finance to be established, led by Ms Karen Miles, to ensure that the financial risks are contained; o The need to ensure value for money in relation to the WAST arrangements before these are handed over to EASC as part of the legacy statement; and o The need to ensure that there is detailed scrutiny of the business cases for cardiac surgery and liver surgery. Members recognised that the bulk of the spending in the plan consisted of established service delivery, which is ongoing but further work is required by WHSSC to review the areas of potential unfunded growth and to limit expenditure. Members also requested that it be made clear how in year pressures would be handled. Mr Harrhy noted that Members will be required to make difficult decisions regarding the provision of services to achieve the financial requirements discussed. It was AGREED that the points raised would be further discussed at the Management Group and the amended Integrated Commissioning Plan would be received at the next Joint Committee. Interim Specialised and Tertiary Service The Interim Chair commended the WHSSC team on the professional plan presented. SUPPORT the overall direction set Page 9 of 29 6 May 2014

Members AGREED that all patients regardless of LHB of residence must be treated equally and equitably outsourced as appropriate; Having confidence that the providers can deliver agreed LTAs in future; Current situation with regards to the business cases received from the Welsh providers. Mr Stuart Davies confirmed that the business cases have been shared with the Directors of Finance and that a subgroup had been formed. He also noted that at present the further information is required to progress the business cases. It was Page 11 of 29 6 May 2014

It was also AGREED that the business cases would be shared with the Chief Executives at an early stage before discussion at the Joint Committee; Previous funding provided by WHSSC to ABMU for two additional critical care beds which have not been opened.

14 WHSSC13/60 TO RECEIVE A REPORT ON WELSH AMBULANCE SERVICES NHS TRUST Members RECEIVED an update report on the commissioning of services from the Welsh Ambulance Services NHS Trust from Mr Stephen Harrhy, Interim Specialised and Tertiary Services. Mr Harrhy reported that an end of year settlement had been achieved and that a legacy statement will be produced as a hand over to EASC. He AGREED to ensure that a copy of the legacy statement is shared with the WHSS Joint Committee. Mr Harrhy noted that the EAS Joint Committee will come into existence on 01 April 2014 and therefore the WHSSC role will end on 31 March Interim Specialised and Tertiary Services Mrs Williams stressed the need to utilise the WHSS team resources to support EASC, rather than duplicating. She also reported the expectation that the LHBs will fund the Chief Ambulance Commissioner and that this will need to be either through WHSSC funds or additional funding will be required. It was also highlighted that the Chief Ambulance Commissioner will need an infrastructure to support the work. NOTE to the contents of the report.

Mrs Steele noted that the WHSSC Governance and Accountability Framework, which includes the Standing Orders and Standing Financial Instructions, have been reviewed and updated. She drew Members attention to the changes listed within the paper. She also highlighted that it is proposed that, given the core elements within the governance and accountability framework and the fact that the WHSSC governance and accountability is currently under review, there be one governance and accountability framework for the two joint committees (Welsh Health Specialised Services Committee (WHSSC) and Emergency Ambulance Services Committee (EASC)) which will consist of three parts, the core elements, the elements specific to WHSSC and the elements specific to EASC. Mrs Steele reported that the draft framework has been shared with the Board Secretaries ahead of this meeting and the shadow EAS Joint Committee meeting which is scheduled to be held on 25 March 2014 (afternoon). The elements specific to EASC will be considered at their shadow meeting and then ratified at the first formal EAS Joint Committee in April. The Governance and Accountability Framework will be circulated to all Health Boards following its ratification. Members discussed further the implications of the EAS Joint Committee and the infrastructure arrangements to be put in Page 15 of 29 6 May 2014

Mr Davies also AGREED to share the information with Cwm Taf LHB and Aneurin Bevan UHB, as main users of the speciality, before any year end decision is made. Mr Davies noted that no provision has been made for an increase in activity therefore there maybe a small deterioration in the position.

WHSSC13/64 TO RECEIVE A REPORT ON PATIENT CARE AND QUALITY Members RECEIVED a report, from Mr David Wilmott, Head of Nursing and Quality, on patient care and quality. Mr Wilmott drew Members attention to key points within the report which included quality dashboards, the planned internal audit review, the Individual Patient Funding Requests (IPFR) for specialised services, the review of paediatric cardiac surgery and the CQC report into a CAMHS tier 4 provider. In relation to the all Wales IPFR, Mr Wilmott particularly noted that the function of the panel is an element that needs review. He reported that due to constantly changing LHB representatives at the panel, which is impacting on the ability of the panel to make consistent decisions, Mr Harrhy has written to all LHBs. Mr Wilmott reported that the current review Page 19 of 29 6 May 2014

20 of Paediatric Cardiac Surgery in Bristol which has been of recent media interest, relates to historic cases dating back to 2010 to He reported that he has been working closely with the provider and that their reports have been discussed and shared with WHSSC. In response to Mrs Williams, Mr Wilmott confirmed that he is finalising the risk assessment in relation to this service at present.

It was also AGREED that a formal report will be discussed at the Quality and Patient Safety Committee. With regards to the CQC report for St Andrews Healthcare, Mr Wilmott reported that the main concerns of the CQC relate to the facilities rather than the provision of care. It was AGREED that a risk assessment will be complete within a short time frame and that the concern will be added to the Risk Register. He noted that the national shortage of places is impacting on the ability to place CAMHS tier 4 patients elsewhere. Members REQUESTED that the Mental Health and Learning Disability Collaborative Commissioning Group review CAMHS tier 4, including Eating Disorders, as a priority.

Professor Smail confirmed that the committee has received reports from the programme teams. Good quality service provision is a major objective and good data and information is essential so that each service can be assessed. Professor Smail reported that certain services are providing good information; he drew particular reference to the report from the Women and Children Programme team presented to the last meeting. Professor Smail also highlighted that information in some areas is patchy; this is partly due to organisational issues, partly the lack of agreement of information to be measured and partly internal reporting, for example no information is available for adult Cystic Fibrosis. Professor Smail highlighted again to Members the absence of a link between Quality and Patient Safety committees due to lack of an all Wales Quality and Patient Safety Chairs forum. He noted that Cardiff and Vale UHB have indicated that they would Page 22 of 29 6 May 2014

23 be willing to meet with WHSSC regularly to discuss quality and patient safety issues. He also noted that Mr Harrhy has written to Welsh Government and that it has been agreed that WHSSC will join the quality and delivery meetings between Welsh Government and LHBs. In response to Mr Paul Roberts, Mr Phillips reported that WHSSC are clear that there is an expectation that for the adult Cystic Fibrosis service, the outcome and other data is submitted through the national database. The failure of the service to do this has been raised as a concern with the provider. Members AGREED that there needs to be transparency about whether providers of specialised services are reporting through national databases, national audits or other mandatory monitoring arrangements. Mr Harrhy AGREED to ensure that these issues were discussed at the monthly meetings between WHSSC and the Welsh providers. Interim Specialised and Tertiary Services Professor Smail drew Members attention to issues included within the WHSSC Integrated Commissioning Plan where there is inequity of access, for example provision of PCI in North Wales. Professor Smail closed his report by noting that this would be Mr Wilmott s last Joint Committee meeting. Professor Smail thanked Mr Wilmott for the work he has undertaken whilst in WHSSC, in taking forward the quality agenda.

It is expected that this process will be complete by end of April/May. Mr Davies noted that there is some political pressure regarding this delay. Ms Karen Miles AGREED to ensure actions are in place within Hywel Dda LHB. Mr Davies reported, however, that there are no concerns from a clinical perspective; the service is currently being provided in a temporary building. Mr Davies reported that, with regards to procurement of immunosuppressant therapy, the transfer of services has occurred and this is being monitored through the Network. Detailed reports will shortly be provided to LHBs. Mr Davies highlighted that some of the Lead Pharmacist (3 posts) vacancies are being held up within the LHBs and that this is impacting on the provision of this service. It was AGREED that Mr Davies would escalate to the relevant Chief Executive Officers. Mrs Williams questioned whether payment to patients receiving home dialysis for their home telephone rental is an appropriate use of resources. She noted that this is setting a precedence which could impact on other specialities and services. It was AGREED that Mr Davies would discuss this further with the Network.
