Figure 9.67: Summary of pre consultation evaluation of eight options under Value for Money
The analysis concluded that options 5 and 6 were the only two options that have an overall
positive evaluation, with Option 5 being the strongest. The only negative evaluation for
Option 5 was given for transition costs. Option 6 received an additional negative evaluation
for overall surplus/deficit. Options 5, 6 and 7 were evaluated positively for their Net Present
Value.
Sensitivity testing was undertaken on the results of the evaluation. A total of 17 scenarios
were tested and in all cases Option 5 (now Option A) was ranked first outright or in one
case, joint first.
On the basis of this evaluation, along with that for the other criteria, Options 5, 6 and 7 were
taken forward and consulted on (as Options A, B and C respectively).
9.11 The approach used to undertake the assessment post-consultation
To oversee the financial analyses the approach taken (as with the work undertaken preconsultation)
was to convene a group of all commissioner and provider Finance Directors,
together with a patient representative and finance staff from NHS London.
This Finance and Business Planning (F&BP) group was tasked with overseeing the activity,
capacity, estates and finance analyses, including commissioner forecasts, Trust forecasts,
the out of hospital forecasts and the capital requirement to deliver the proposed changes.
The group was also tasked with advising on the value for money of the options consulted
upon, both relative to each other, and compared to the „do nothing‟ (i.e. current
configuration) situation. The group met approximately every two weeks from September
2012 to January 2013.
