SHA Handover Reports - NHS Yorkshire and the Humber

2. Process
1) a sufficiently rigorous process has been carried out to produce the
documents
2) satisfy itself that the new Cluster Executive Team is aware of all of the
key issues arising from the documents and
3) has an appropriate strategy to address any risks or concerns raised.
2.1 PCT Cluster Legacy Documents
All 14 PCT Cluster legacy documents and associated PCT reports
were submitted to the three SHAs within NHS North of England by the
5 September deadline, with many of these due to be signed off by their
relevant Boards during September.
Each SHA took its own approach to engagement on these, including:
• Director level review of documentation
• Feedback to PCT Clusters on plans from SHA Director Review, with
resubmissions required in some SHAs
• SHA CEO discussion with PCT Cluster CEOs to cover discussion
on the issues to supplement the documented processes of
handover.
The process enabled triangulation of data and intelligence across the
Directorates of the SHA, with all involved having an opportunity to
review both the SHA and PCT information. Much of the information
utilised for the legacy report had also been discussed with relevant
bodies such as the CQC. All parties agreed that the CEO level
handover discussions were an important and valuable part of the
process. Both CQC and Monitor have had the opportunity to review
and discuss the documentation directly with the SHA.
Appendix 1 sets out a list of all 14 PCT Clusters within NHS North of
England. The three SHA document libraries are a repository for these
documents and their associated PCT documentation.
2.2 Preparation of SHA Handover Reports
Each SHA then produced their own Handover reports based upon the
information provided by PCTs and PCT Clusters. These documents
formed the basis for detailed conversations between the NHS North of
England executive team and each of the outgoing SHA executive
teams, supported by signed statements of assurance from the Nurse
Director, the Medical Director and the Chief Executive. These were
extremely helpful discussions. The three handover documents were
submitted to the final SHA Board meetings on the following dates:-
