The Trust has implemented actions following the Monitor ‘dry run’ exercise
which looked at quality issues for data reporting against a number of Monitor
targets.
Compliance with CQC Essential Standards of Quality and Safety
5 Boroughs Partnership NHS Foundation Trust is required to register with the
Care Quality Commission and its current registration status is registered
without conditions. The Care Quality Commission has not taken enforcement
action against 5 Boroughs Partnership NHS Foundation Trust during 2011/12.
During 2011/12 the Trust was inspected by the Care Quality Commission as
part of their targeted inspection programme to review services for people with
learning disabilities. The review was to establish if in-patients experience
effective, safe and appropriate care and treatment and support that meets
their needs and protects their rights and whether they are protected from
abuse. The Trust has maintained registration without conditions. However, the
CQC visits identified some actions needed to maintain compliance with two
standards inspected during Q4 of 2011/12.
The Trust responded to the Care Quality Commission’s reports with an action
plan which is now fully completed. From a Trust-wide perspective the Trust
needs to feel confident that its processes are meeting the needs of all our
service users. The Trust has put a programme of work in place to self-assess
itself against the CQC Standards to ensure compliance is maintained across
the Trust.
Compliance with the 16 Essential Standards of Quality and Safety are
reported on a comparison dashboard via the Corporate Performance Report
within the Safety and Quality dataset. The dashboard shows compliance
measured by the Trust alongside the data issued monthly in the CQC Quality
and Risk Profile.
NHS Pension Scheme
As an employer with staff entitled to membership of the NHS Pension

ensuring that deductions from salary, employer’s contributions and payments
into the Scheme are in accordance with the Scheme rules and that member
Pension Scheme records are accurately updated in accordance with the
timescales detailed in the Regulations.
