2 Introduction In order to function optimally commissioners use intelligence and information to better understand current patterns of provision, and to identify opportunities for improving services. Public Health has produced a fact sheet giving an overview of spend by programme budget and a selection of related outcome measures, drawn from publicly available data, namely expenditure data taken from PCT programme budgeting returns to the Department of Health for 2011/12. The data relates to the Primary Care Trust, which ceased to exist on 1 st April Therefore, this data is not representative of the new commissioning responsibilities of Clinical Commissioning Group. No causal relationship between spend and outcome can be inferred from the data presented here. The limitations of both the programme budget data and outcome data need to be considered. The outcome information available varies between programmes. In addition the coverage of outcome measures varies across programmes; for some outcome measures may encompass the whole programme, for others they may only cover part of a programme. The fact sheets are intended to raise questions which can be investigated further using the quantitative and qualitative outcome data available locally. The Department of Health commissioned the Association of Public Health Observatories (APHO) to develop a tool which helps commissioners to link health outcomes and expenditure. The development of this tool and a Spend and Outcome Factsheet for every PCT in was led by Public Health, Northern and Yorkshire Knowledge and Intelligence Team 1. The SPOT tool uses a different methodology for calculating ONS cluster figures which is based on a straight average of per head spend rather than a population weighted average. This fact sheet adds value to the Public Health work because it goes into greater depth on the Programme Budget areas; benchmarks against a wider range of comparators and contains more and sometimes more up to date outcome information. The outcome information is taken from a variety of sources and is provided to add context to the spending data. It cannot be directly compared as categories and timescales are not always equivalent. The Comparators website 2 contains Programme Budgeting data and allows filtering of reports by Programme Budgeting categories at PCT and GP levels. For further discussion of the uses of programme budgeting and marginal analysis to deliver quality, innovation productivity and prevention please see Commissioning for Health Improvement Tom Frost, Public Health Scientist 2 of 25 May 2013

3 Methodology and caveats Calculating programme budgeting data is complex and not all healthcare activity or services can be classified directly to a programme budgeting category or care setting. When it is not possible to reasonably estimate a programme budgeting category, expenditure is classified as Other. Expenditure on General Medical Services and Personal Medical Services cannot be reasonably estimated at disease specific level, and is separately identified as a subcategory of Other expenditure. The Programme Budgeting data is collated on a price-based method which uses the Secondary User Services (SUS) warehouse to apportion spend. This is robust for Payment by Results (PbR) activity but for non-pbr, SUS does not provide the cost because the price is set locally. The SUS based method has replaced the cost-based method which used reference costs based on returns by providers and a more pragmatic allocation of costs to settings. This is one of the significant changes made to the calculation methodologies in 2010/11 and therefore, it is not possible to make direct comparisons with programme budgeting data from previous years. Programme Budget collection using SUS is still being developed, so can only be used as a starting point for any investigation Estimates of expenditure are calculated using price paid for specific activities and services purchased from healthcare providers. PCTs follow standard guidance, procedures and mappings when calculating programme budgeting data. The Programme Budgeting data is unaudited although the total spend has to match PCT final accounts. The review the data and provide feedback but it is left, in the main, to PCTs to improve accuracy. Not all PCTs invest the same resources into the collection. Comparisons against other PCTs should therefore be made with caution, although comparing against groups of PCTs like the South West or ONS cluster may be more accurate. Differences between PCT and comparators should be investigated and not thought of as potential savings, especially as the data is not representative of the new commissioning responsibilities of Clinical Commissioning Group. The analysis of programme budgeting data by care setting was introduced for the first time in 2010/11. For this reason, programme budgeting data within individual care settings should be interpreted with caution. Due to differences in the level of information available to PCTs on A&E attendances a national split has been applied to PCT total A&E expenditure to apportion it across programme budgeting categories. 3 The Third Annual Population Review: Commissioning for Health Improvement, RightCare.

4 Key facts The data relates to the Primary Care Trust, which ceased to exist on 1 st April Therefore, this data is not representative of the new commissioning responsibilities of Clinical Commissioning Group. Overall PCT spent 1,675 per head (see note 1) on healthcare in 2011/12. The average for PCTs with similar socio-economic backgrounds (the cluster group see note 2) was 1,725. Out of the 23 programmes, PCT spent the most ( 165 per head) on mental health disorders, followed by problems of circulation ( 126 per head) and problems of the musculo-skeletal system ( 114 per head). Nationally the four programmes with the highest expenditure were mental health, problems of circulation, cancers and tumours and problems of the musculo-skeletal system. PCT s spend is below the cluster average on mental health; circulatory and cancer and tumour programmes, and is a little higher (9%) than the cluster on musculoskeletal problems. PCT spent more on social care needs (+54%), conditions of neonates (+42%); healthy individuals (+33%), problems of learning disability (+24%) and problems of hearing (+20%) than the cluster. However, it spent less on disorders of the blood (-25%); neurological conditions (-14%); mental health disorders (-13%) and problems of the respiratory system (-12%) than the cluster. PCT spent only 4% ( 63 per head) of all spending on prevention and health promotion (see note 5). However, this was a larger percentage and amount than the cluster (2.6%, 45), the South West (2.7%, 46) or (3.0%, 53). PCT spent more on elective and daycase inpatient care (14.7%, 246) and less on non-health and social care settings (0.9%, 16) than the cluster, South West and.

12 outcomes According to 2011/12 QOF 10, the prevalence of stroke and transient ischaemic attack (patients with stroke or TIA) (1.98%) and hypertension (patients with established hypertension) (14.5%) were higher than the national averages (stroke and TIA 1.74% and hypertension 13.6%). However, the prevalence of coronary heart disease (patients with coronary heart disease) (3.28%) was lower than the national average (3.38%) The directly age-standardised mortality rate from cardiovascular (all circulatory) disease (ICD10 I00-99) was 77 per 100,000 under 75s in for males and 30 for females. This was lower for males than the South West and national averages (South West 79.5; * 95 per 100,000). This was also lower for females than the South West and national averages (South West 33; * 41 per 100,000). The cluster averages are 80 for males and 34 for females.

Similar trends exist in the coronary heart disease (under 75) data where the rates are lower than the South West, the cluster and for males and females. s figures are statistically significant lower than the cluster and figures 12. For stroke mortality (under 75) the figures are lower than the averages but higher than the cluster and South West averages for both males and females. The differences are not statistically significantly 13.

24 Notes 1. Expenditure is expenditure on own population. This is the net expenditure adjusted to add back expenditure funded from sources outside of the and to deduct expenditure on other PCTs populations incurred though lead commissioning arrangements. Unified weighted population estimates were used. Weighted population figures represent the PCT responsible population adjusted using the national weighted capitation formula, for the age structure of the population, its additional need over and above that accounted for by age, and the unavoidable geographical variations in the costs of providing services. The formula has separate components for hospital and community health services (HCHS), prescribing and primary medical services. This weighting is used to calculate PCT allocations. Detailed information on the resource allocation weighted capitation formula is available at. Data downloaded on 3 rd April Programme Budgeting PCT Benchmarking Tool Version 1.0.xls ( ). 2. Office of National Statistics (ONS) Clusters. This classification groups health areas into clusters based on similar characteristics. The classification has been constructed by assigning health areas to the local authority classification. The largest cluster is the supergroup there are eight of these. Each supergroup is further split into groups (13 in total) and further into subgroups (24 in total). In this paper we have referred to the13 groups. For further information please see cluster_summaries.asp 3. Directly age-standardised mortality rates per 100,000 European standard population. Obtained from Information Centre Indicator Portal Directly standardised mortality rate is calculated by dividing the number of deaths by the actual local population in a particular age group multiplied by the standard population for that particular age group and summing across the relevant age groups. The rate is usually expressed per 100,000. Tom Frost, Public Health Scientist 24 of 25 May 2013

25 4. Programme selection. To select programmes with relatively high and low expenditure the 3 that showed the greatest positive variance and the 3 that showed the greatest negative variance were chosen. 5. Care settings Prevention & health promotion Primary care Includes primary & secondary prevention, health promotion, family planning, school health services, national screening programmes, public health programmes for communicable and non-communicable disease, epidemiological surveillance and public health administration. Primary care costs relating services provided by GPs, primary dental services and primary ophthalmic services, excluding those which relate to prevention/health promotion. Primary care activity relating to prescribing or pharmaceutical services, excluding those which relate to prevention/health promotion Admitted patient care activity which takes place in a hospital setting where the admission was elective or as a day-case. Primary prescribing Inpatient: Elective & Daycase Inpatient: Admitted patient care activity which takes place in a hospital setting Non-elective where the admission was as an emergency/non-elective. Outpatient Outpatient attendances or procedures. Other Activity included with this setting will include direct access services, secondary unbundled services (excluding critical care) and secondary care care services which cannot be allocated to more specific settings. Mental Health secondary care services should also be included within this care setting. Ambulance Urgent and emergency transport, i.e. Ambulance activity and 111 expenditure. A&E Activity which takes place within A&E departments and minor injury units. Community care Care provided in other setting Non health / social care Care delivered outside of a hospital and within local communities. Inpatient and outpatient activity carried out within community hospitals should be classified as secondary care activity. All other activity carried out in community hospitals should be classified as community care. All other health and social care services which are not included within the other health settings.
