Minutes:

Clare Kent, Head of Service Improvement and Better Care Fund Greater Nottingham Clinical Commissioning Partnership, introduced the report providing information about the Better Care Fund (BCF) and Improved Better Care Fund (iBCF) performance metrics for quarter 2 2018/19.  She highlighted the following information:

 

(a)  All of the BCF national conditions were met for quarter 2.

 

(b)  The key performance metrics of residential admissions, reablement and delayed transfers of care were scored as ‘green’ for quarter 2.

 

(c)  At quarter 2, performance on non-elective admissions was scored as ‘amber’ for the year to date.

 

(d)  Performance on the High Impact Change Model was good, with 6 of the 8 mandated elements scored as ‘established’.  The Model should impact on performance metrics.  Learning from changes implemented elsewhere is taking place but models from elsewhere can’t just be replicated without taking into account the local context. 

 

(e)  The success story detailed in the narrative focused on carer support services and the outcomes of the model so far. 

 

(f)  Reporting on the iBCF focused on project spends and no detailed narrative or case studies were required.

 

During discussion the following points were made:

 

(g)  Nationally, a report on system capacity and flow has been commissioned from Newton Europe to support systems not achieving required performance on delayed transfers of care and non-elective admissions.  It will be useful in terms of national learning and case studies but is still not yet available.  It is understood that the delay is with the national team rather than Newton Europe and colleagues will continue to chase its availability through the BCF lead.

 

(h)  The Newton Europe report on local activity has been useful for adult social care.

 

(i)  Nottingham University Hospitals NHS Trust still considers that there are issues in discharge from hospital and continual development and learning is taking place.

 

RESOLVED to:

 

(1)  note the performance in relation to the Better Care Fund and Improved Better Care performance metrics for quarter 2 2018/19; and

 

(2)  note the quarterly returns that were submitted to NHS England on 18 October 2018, authorised by the Chair of the Health and Wellbeing Board.
