Mr. Davies AGREED that the currencies should be refreshed and that is part of the work going on with C & V at the moment. Chair Management Group Page 25 of 38 Joint Committee

26 Mr. Mahoney confirmed that he was generally supportive of the direction but that there is need for caution around the two different approaches that are being taken. Members discussed the current position with the Hepatology Business Case. Mr. Davies confirmed that the only developments agreed at present were the appointment of the Hepatologist and the strengthening of the MDT. Mr. Davies suggested that a further report be prepared for presentation to the Management Group in relation to whether this service should be fully transferred to WHSSC. Members RESOLVED to: NOTE the progress undertaken to date in the implementation of the Three Year Commissioning Plan for Specialised Services 2014/ /17; NOTE & SUPPORT the work that is being taken forward to develop the balanced scorecard; AGREE the list of development schemes for further scrutiny prior to submission to the September meeting of the Joint Committee; REVIEW the Annual Plan and highlight any further specifics for clarification; RECEIVE and updated Report at the September meeting of the Management Group; RECEIVE a populated scorecard at the September meeting of the Management Group; RECEIVE and update on progress at the September Management Group in relation to clarifying protocol on savings share; RECEIVE an update on progress at the September Management Group in relation to standardising mixed currency.

Finance Planning, WHSSC Finance, WHSSC Chair Management Group Page 26 of 38 Joint Committee

27 Mr. Davies highlighted that the Joint Committee have agreed that risk sharing needs to be re-visited and therefore WHSSC will be instigating a formal risk sharing rebasing review. Members NOTED that Mr. Davies will be writing to Health Boards within the next couple of weeks requesting senior representation for this review. A draft ToR will be circulated quickly and Mr. Davies asked for a swift response so that this Group can be set up as soon as possible. All Health Boards Mr. McCann asked for clarity in relation to the proposal to update the planned risk shares for month 4. In response Mr. Davies confirmed that this was part of the normal process and invited views from Health Boards. Mr. Davies confirmed that the risk share is only used in connection with in year variances, for new contributions or changes in the annual plan. It is only an incremental risk sharing. (Mrs. Nicola Johnson joined the meeting) Members were asked for their views on updating the risk share and the majority view was to update the risk share. The positions of Hywel Dda UHB and Betsi Cadwaladr UHB were NOTED that they did not support the updating of the risk share. Mr. McCann confirmed that based on the decision to update the risk shares for month 4 he wished to update Members on the item included in the Action Log (MG14/48) which he did not feel had been covered at this meeting. Mr. McCann confirmed that BCUHB have 3.5m in the plan and at the moment are only getting benefit of 3.6m[sic]. It was the view of Mr McCann that changing the risk sharing from this point will only worsen the position and that a further decision was required in relation to the financial contribution by BCUHB in relation to the Plan. Mr McCann stated that BCUHB would need to reduce their contribution by 250k. Chair Management Group Page 27 of 38 Joint Committee

28 It was AGREED that Mr. Davies and Mr. McCann follow up with an urgent discussion within the next 48 hours after which Mr. T Purt, CEO BCUHB and the Chair be briefed to ensure resolution of the issue.

The Chair advised that following his meeting with Mr. S Dean that WHSSC has been asked to put together a submission to include options which will clarify the journey required to move from 36 to 26 wks. Mr. S Davies AGREED to provide regular updates at DoF s around this particular issue. Members RESOLVED to: NOTE the current financial position against the updated budget; NOTE the real underlying performance to date is better by up to 0.7m than reported owing to the phasing of the impact of the cardiac surgery outsourcing initiative; NOTE the risk from increased activity in English providers and AGREE to take local actions to review control processes to ensure referrals out of area to English providers remain within funded levels; NOTE the additional scale of commitment in relation to cardiac surgery outsourcing, the likely level of financial liability for 2014/15 and the outstanding agreement around risk sharing; AGREE an update report to be prepared for presentation at the next Directors of Finance meeting.

29 SURGERY TASK & FINISH GROUP Members received a Report on the recommendations of the Thoracic Surgery Task & Finish Group. Mr. Archard briefed Members in depth and highlighted significant points and recommendations included in the final report. Mrs. Keegan felt that this was a very good piece or work and she was supportive of the direction of travel. Mrs. Keegan thought that the three recommendations were in principle the right way forward but questioned the cost implications or whether this would be cost neutral. Mrs. Keegan advised that she would not be able to support if there were cost implications. Mr. Holcombe asked for clarity on the current demand, compared with waiting lists and waiting times and to gain an understanding why the resections currently are not being done. Dr. Carroll noted that there were no cost/low cost quality components and the report did not mention surgical training. Dr. Carroll suggested a Service Specification be drafted as a way forward. The Chair summarised discussions that the key issues in the report could have been presented in a better way. Members AGREED that further work was required to understand the demand modelling against the baseline and the financial impact. Members RESOLVED to: NOTE the work undertaken and the findings of the Thoracic Surgery Task & Finish Group; NOTE the recommendations 1 to 3 for early implementation to put in place improved cover for MDT meetings, a second opinion process and provider action plans; RECEIVE a further report to include a financial analysis and impact of the recommendations including an analysis of the impact of moving to median and upper quartile for each Health Board patient numbers and financial impact.

Members NOTED that Dr. Carroll had met with Dr J Shannon and his Team at Cwm Taf UHB and agreed to work with Dr Shannon and his team in relation to this. Members NOTED the current position and that a report would be considered at the next Chief Executives Peer Group meeting in July The Chair reassured Members that it was clear that Members were nervous about 36 weeks and that any movement beyond that is completely understood. The Chair requested absolute validation of 36 weeks to ensure clarity for the Chief Executives. A discussion was held in relation to cardiology and it was confirmed that this was an explicit part of the conversation. The Chair has also confirmed that he had received a letter from Dr A Goodall in relation to joint working on cardiology pathways. All Health Boards Members NOTED the update on mortality data and that there was no turn as yet but, that it was an explicit part of the discussion. Patient selection/access criteria/frailty assessment should all start to come into the system and this will be tracked over the next two quarters. Chair Management Group Page 30 of 38 Joint Committee

31 (Mr. John Darlington left the meeting) The Chair provided an update in relation to outsourcing and advised that he is waiting for reassurance that the level of outsourcing we have now achieved gives us a guaranteed 36 week position at year end. The position will be reported to the Chief Executives in July, In answer to Mr. Holcombe s request for clarity around cardiac surgery planning and volumes the Chair confirmed that the demand modelling is Mr. Holcombe requested an update on the position with Bristol Spire.

Mr. Mahoney confirmed that the revenue plan for the Children s Hospital of Wales did incorporate a small element of incremental costs to deal with PICU retrieval. 250k has been included to be shared Chair Management Group Page 31 of 38 Joint Committee

32 across commissioners and should have been included in respective LHB plans, subject to the final model being agreed through the WHSSC commissioning process. Mr. Mahoney confirmed that the Children s Hospital for Wales is scheduled to open in March, 2015 and there will be a cost implication for commissioners in 2014/15. Mrs. Keegan felt that it was important to get the model right. A critical point to sort out would be whether this should be consultant led or consultant provided service as this would have cost implications. Mr. Davies confirmed that the costs were not included in the WHSSC plan at present. The original message from the Minister at the time was that there was a recognised net cost but that the provider would need to work to eliminate this before opening. Mr. Davies acknowledged that this would now need to be included. Members RESOLVED to:- NOTE the report; SUPPORT the direction of travel. WHSSC to be fully sited on a set of provider elements which have come from previous agreements; AGREED that the Options Appraisal should be clear in relation to the Consultant led element of the service; AGREED that an update on the Ministerial line be sought; AGREED that an update Report be prepared for presentation at the September meeting of the Management Group.
