1 Agenda 127/10 Public Board Meeting, 30 September 2010 CQC Compliance Update Report September 2010 Presented by: Colin Johnston, Director of Patient Safety, Medical Director This report provides an update following the Q2 report to Board in July 2010 against the CQC Essential Standards of Quality and Safety. Update Since the last report, which was presented to the Trust Board in July the Trust has: Identified concerns within Outcome 10 Safety and Suitability of Premises that require notification to the CQC. The CQC will need to make a decision on what regulatory conditions/actions (if any) will be taken. The Trust is in the process of notifying the concern with the CQC clarification is awaited from the CQC local assessor. The statement of compliance is attached at appendix 1 and the Board is receiving a briefing from the Director of Strategy and Infrastructure. Director of Delivery; Russell Harrison has been identified as the Executive for Outcome 6 Cooperating with providers Director of ursing; atalie Forrest has been identified as the Executive for Outcomes 1,4,5,7 and 17. Outcome 9 Management of Medicines still has outstanding actions. Although significant progress has been made, further work is required as detailed in the actions summary below. Outcome 17 complaints recorded compliance against the deadline identified on registration. However, further review has identified an issue in relation to development, implementation and monitoring of action plans, as indicated in the action summary below. Assurance in relation to Outcome 11 Safety, availability and suitability of equipment requires review following an internal audit, which identified significant gaps in staff training on medical devices. The impact of this has been discussed at the Audit Committee, and more recently at the Integrated Risk and Governance Committee. The compliance pro forma is attached as appendix 2. The Board is receiving a separate briefing on the findings from the audit. Outcome 4: Care and welfare of people who use services Following confirmation that the Director of ursing is the Executive lead for this outcome, the process for assurance is being agreed. Initial review of the outcome suggests that there are not significant gaps that would represent a concern Conclusion The Board is asked to review the update above and the attached appendices, which provide further details of work under way to address gaps in assurance and detail of the rationale for recording a minor concern in relation to Outcome 10. The Board is asked to consider the conclusions drawn about compliance and endorse or challenge. WHHT Provider Compliance Assurance The table below provides a summary of the compliance against the CQC outcomes ticks in the column to the right (Outstanding Trust Issues to Enhance Compliance) denote that further work is in train to strengthen and enhance compliance, however the Trust remains compliant with these standards as indicated. Please note those outcomes in bold were excluded from the report reviewed by the Audit Committee with concerns about omission. Detail of these outcomes is therefore included for completeness. Please note standards leads will be asked to ensure that risks of non- compliance are added to risk registers as appropriate. 1
