2 BCUHB Controlled Drugs Local Intelligence Network (LIN) Annual Report Final 1 Title of Group: BCUHB Controlled Drugs Local Intelligence Network (LIN) 2 Name and role of person submitting this report: Anne Bithell, Chief of Staff Pharmacy and Medicines Management CPG who is the BCUHB Accountable Officer for Controlled Drugs. The Accountable Officer This is the person in a healthcare organisation who takes formal responsibility for all Controlled Drug handling and governance issues in their organisation. This is a requirement under the Health Act Details of the role are set out in the Controlled Drugs (Supervision of Management and Use) Regulations Dates covered by this report: April 2011 to March Number of times Group met during the year: The Group met 4 times over the year. 5 Assurance/s this Group is designed to provide: The Group will undertake and provide oversight, scrutiny and a governance function in relation to the safe management of Controlled Drugs across North Wales. Background The Government s response to the Fourth Shipman Inquiry report included new legislation and regulations to tighten governance of CDs which are predominately narcotics with potential for abuse (such as morphine) in the community. At national level, in Wales, the new arrangements are subject to external scrutiny by Health Inspectorate Wales (HIW). HIW will ensure that local governance arrangements, intelligence networks and provisions for incident panels are satisfactory. Where appropriate HIW will use its existing powers to inspect or investigate systems failures, or registration issues in the private and voluntary sector. HIW will monitor national trends and innovation in the management of controlled drugs, publish its findings and promote improvement. 6 Overall *RAG status against Group s annual objectives / plan: Amber 7 Main tasks completed / evidence considered by the Group during this reporting period: The Local Intelligence Network (LIN) has continued to meet on a quarterly basis, led by the BCUHB Accountable Officer, with representation from the NHS and private healthcare providers, including hospitals, primary care independent contractors; CSSIW, WAST and HIW. The key purpose of the LIN is to share information about the use of CDs and about individuals who give cause for concern. Where several agencies are concerned, the LHB Accountable Officer may consider setting up an Incident Panel of relevant agencies or individuals to consider specific serious concerns. Each agency will retain responsibility for taking appropriate action where required. See Appendix One for LIN membership. The process has been maintained for the Accountable Officer to receive Occurrence Reports from Non NHS organisations on a quarterly basis, which are reviewed at the LIN meetings. An annual declaration and self assessment was completed by GPs and Dentists in This information has been used in the risk assessment process prior to clinical governance visits to contractors. Across North Wales, members of the Pharmacy and Medicines Management CPG have received training as Authorised Witnesses for the destruction of Controlled Drugs and been approved to destroy wasted medication as required. A database has been established to monitor which drugs and what quantities are destroyed. Appendix Two. Incidents and significant events have been recorded and managed using the BCUHB Datix system. Independent contractors and care homes have continued to use the legacy systems up to March 2012 (electronic or paper) until they are able to access the new Datix system. Page 2 of 6V1 2
3 Monitoring of Schedule 2 Controlled Drug prescriptions via on line CASPA on a monthly basis has been established in each area across N Wales. This includes mostly injectable Controlled Drugs. Each prescription is reviewed for legality, clinical appropriateness and unusual patterns of prescribing. It is a statutory requirement to keep monitoring records for seven years. 8 Main action plan themes / tasks due for completion in forthcoming year (12-13): Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs) for the management of Controlled Drugs by contractors are expired and need updating. The BCUHB Hospitals Medicines Code will be extended over time to incorporate independent contractor issues. An annual declaration and self assessment is required by primary care independent contractors in Community pharmacy contractors will be included in this process if Controlled Drugs are not included in the All Wales Clinical Governance Practice Self Assessment. Schedule 2 (non-injectable formulations), and Schedules 3, 4 and 5 Controlled Drug prescriptions are monitored quarterly as a minimum via on line CASPA in each area across N Wales. Due to the number of drugs to be reviewed a targeted approach has been agreed. Reviewers look at the prescribing data and bench mark to identify high prescribing. Individual drugs are then reviewed in depth. Each prescription is reviewed for legality, clinical appropriateness and unusual patterns of prescribing. It is a statutory requirement to keep monitoring records for seven years. A process to manage escalation of any concerns needs to be established. Establishment of systematic monitoring of Controlled Drug usage is required for this year to fully comply with the new legislation. It is anticipated that an All Wales approach with national IT support is being taken forward in the near future. To establish a uniform system across North Wales of recording and investigation of concerns related to Controlled Drugs in partnership with the clinical governance teams across BCUHB. The electronic Datix system has been rolled out to GP practices and this will capture concerns around Controlled Drugs. A paper reporting system will be continued for other contractors who do not have access to web based reporting. To ensure that the safer management of Controlled Drugs is included in the monitoring visits undertaken for primary care independent contractors. Additional adhoc visits will be undertaken when Controlled Drug incidents arise. To ensure risk registers for individual CPGs and where appropriate corporate functions include assessment of CD risk. 9. If appropriate, have these new risks been escalated as an issue of significance, or to the relevant Chief of Staff for consideration? Yes 10 Further comments: An action plan has been developed to progress out standing issues. See Appendix Three. *Key: Red = not on target to achieve all actions, and may not achieve these actions by the next quarter Amber = not on target to achieve all actions, but has plans in place to see these actions achieved by the next quarter Green = on target to achieve all actions Page 3 of 6V1 3
