3Section A Summary
- The objectives of this review were to articulate
the investment strategy be specific about the
impact on key targets review prioritisation in
the light of the need for financial flexibility
consider the robustness of individual projects
and the tPCTs capacity to implement them - This investment plan deals with incremental
investment, above that already agreed as part of
SLA negotiations. The investment strategy is
consistent with the tPCTs current Commissioning
Strategy Plan - Planned investment has been mapped against
expected performance on key targets and some
additional requirements identified to improve
performance in the current year. Despite planned
investment, certain targets remain challenging - Individual projects have been reviewed for
outputs, outcomes and for expected financial
phasing. One consequence has been a more
pragmatic view of lead times - Prioritisation has built on the earlier work of
the Priorities Panel. In addition, some
additional projects and cost pressures have been
identified, as well as the need for certain
additional enablers - capacity, skills and
preparatory projects - In addition to 12m SLA investment already agreed
for growth in 08/09, the investment plan now
proposes 6m cash spend in 08/09, 14m spend in
09/10, and 14m recurrently thereafter. This
enables the tPCT to meet the key priorities
identified and retains flexibility for future
cost pressures and emerging priorities. - Significant financial flexibility has been built
in. A number of projects have been deferred to
09/10 (for both practical and financial reasons).
In addition, whilst indicative allocations of
resources have been made to certain key strategic
priorities, flexibility in how these resources
are committed remains
4Section B Review of investment plan
5Objectives
- The objectives established as a follow up to the
Board review of investment strategy include - Flesh out the strategy, in particular
- Articulate the linkage between the PCTs
overarching strategy and the projects being
proposed - Identify relevant available outcome measures
- Be specific about the impact on key targets
- Prioritisation
- Review prioritisation in the light of the need
for financial flexibility - Identify any missing projects
- Make sure individual project proposals are as
robust as possible - The financial impact in the current year
- The level of uncertainty in financial estimates
- Expected outputs and outcomes
- Impact on targets
- Enablers
- Identify and plan to fill capacity or skills gaps
6Investment strategy
The investment strategy is consistent with the
TPCTs current Commissioning Strategy Plan. This
is incremental investment, above that already
agreed as part of SLA negotiations with the main
providers
Strategic Goals
Investment strategy
- Continuing investment in additional capacity, to
meet growth in demand and waiting time targets - Implementation of the infrastructure to support
the primary care strategy (extended opening
hours, walk in services, IT) - Development of community services for those with
long term conditions - Development and implementation of a strategy for
intermediate care, rehabilitation and end-of-life
care - Meeting new standards and new targets
To improve quality and access to services
ensuring better access to the right care in the
right place, at the right time providing more
integrated care in the local community
- Raising the profile of the health improvement
agenda, with more innovative, community
development approaches - Improving the scope, reach and take-up of
screening and immunisation services - A particular focus on sexual and reproductive
health amongst young people
To promote a healthier Haringey by improving
health and well-being and tackling health
inequalities
To improve the mental health and well-being of
our population
- Developing primary care mental health services
- Small scale, incremental investment to get the
best out of existing investment
To improve our performance and the way in which
we commission services to enable us to commission
world class care, whilst ensuring that we
maintain long-term financial stability
- Focus on delivering on key national and local
priority targets - Small scale, incremental investment to improve
performance and maximise the benefit from
existing services or assets - Developing commissioning capacity and capability
7National and local priorities
- Expected future performance against key targets
has been reviewed - Vital Signs, challenging areas of Annual Health
Check, Local Area Agreement - Set out in detail in the Appendix
- Planned investment has been mapped against key
targets, and some additional requirements
identified to improve performance in the current
year - Some of the population health targets are
requiring a more innovative approach, for which
there is a less established evidence base - Eg Social marketing to address early booking for
antenatal care, chlamydia screening - Despite planned investment, certain targets
remain challenging, including - Smoking cessation
- Teenage pregnancy
- Chlamydia screening
- Maternity early access to antenatal care
- Immunisation given the scale of the catch up
required - Breast screening
- Breastfeeding prevalence due to data collection
8Prioritisation
- Builds on the earlier work of the panel
- Identifies a small number of additional
investment priorities - E.g. diabetic retinopathy, hospice funding,
cardiac prevention - Greater focus on what is needed to deliver on
local and national priority targets in 08/09 - E.g. stroke, screening, Choose Book
- Now includes a programme of non-recurrent spend
- Additional commissioning capacity
- More pragmatic view of lead times for
implementation - Delayed expenditure offset by a need for more
one-off initiatives - Identifies indicative level of resources for a
number of priority areas previously held over for
Phase II - Recognition of the need to develop Adults Older
People strategy, but with package of measures to
improve short term provision and performance
while this strategy is developed - In addition to 12m SLA investment already agreed
for growth in 08/09, proposed investment plan is
now - 6m cash spend in 08/09, 14m spend in 09/10,
14m recurrently thereafter - Retains flexibility for future cost pressures and
emerging priorities
9The visible difference
Highlights of the expected impact of recent and
planned investments include
Strategic Goals
More than 90 of Haringey residents referred to a
specialist will be seen and treated at a hospital
of their choice within 18 weeks, by December 2008
Everyone living in Haringey will have access to
12x7 GP services, by July 2009
To improve quality and access to services
ensuring better access to the right care in the
right place, at the right time providing more
integrated care in the local community
Everyone living in Haringey will have access to a
network of sexual health clinics and will be able
to get an appointment within 48 hours, by October
2009 During 2008/09, Haringey residents will
start to see the shift in emphasis towards health
promotion and screening
To promote a healthier Haringey by improving
health and well-being and tackling health
inequalities
To improve the mental health and well-being of
our population
Every adult living in Haringey will have access
to a primary care mental health service meeting
nationally recognised standards, by July 2009
To improve our performance and the way in which
we commission services to enable us to commission
world class care, whilst ensuring that we
maintain long-term financial stability
The tPCT expects to achieve the Healthcare
Commission rating of good, both for quality of
services and for use of resources for 2008/09
(published October 2009)
10Enablers
The executive team has identified certain
enablers which are necessary, in part to support
successful implementation of this investment
plan. A number of these have already been
implemented.
- One additional public health consultant
- Two additional collaborative commissioning
managers - Commissioning manager for sexual health services
- Immunisation lead
- Associate Director of Performance
- Health Intelligence capability
Commissioning capacity and skills
- Project to develop over-arching Adults Older
People strategic framework to link - Supporting independent living and long term
conditions - Stroke / neuro-rehab
- Intermediate care and rehab
- End of life care
- Development of contestability framework, to
describe TPCTs approach to competitive
procurement
Preparatory projects
- Strengthening of investment planning, including
financial and activity analysis - Strengthening of procurement function
- Stakeholder engagement
- Strengthening specialist commissioning across
London
Processes and systems
11Financial profile of investment plan
The majority of the proposed new investment plan
is in out-of-hospital services, health screening
and health promotion. Less than 2m is allocated
to hospital and hospice services.
12Financial flexibility
The investment plan retains significant
flexibility
13Other issues Funding Primary Care buildings
- The current budget and 5 yr plan includes
specific amounts to cover the revenue costs of
the Lordship Lane and Hornsey Central LIFT
schemes (838k and 857k per annum,
respectively). No other major new schemes are
assumed in the 5 yr plan - Lordship Lane is about 2,500 sq metres. Hornsey
Central is c4,500 sq m. The latter was an
existing PCT-owned site, so the TPCT is paying
for the building not the land - A scenario for implementation of the Primary Care
strategy might require - development of one or two new neighbourhood
health centres - development / redevelopment of other primary care
premises - in addition, existing primary care estate may
require significant upgrading - potential costs might be up to 6m per annum, if
financed as revenue rather than capital projects - As far as timing is concerned, 2011/12 is
probably the earliest for any major project. This
is beyond the three year period covered by this
investment plan - This investment plan allocates 1m for Primary
Care development in 09/10 and 2m in 10/11.
Specific projects have yet to be identified. This
2m could be available recurrently from 11/12
onwards as revenue funding for LIFT or
equivalent building developments. Any further
funding would have to come from other PCT
reserves. - Potential savings may arise from S.106
recoveries. These represent potential upside
