Continuing Care Retrospective Team – to be retained by NHS LC.Paper DNHS Leicester City Board Meeting12 May 2011Mr Miller provided a summary of the arrangements made to safely transfer theservices and relayed the governance arrangements to members of the Boardfor the period 1 st April to 30 th June 2011.LCCHS will maintain most of its existing corporate governance structures andparticipate in LPT’s structure. However, as Mrs Mansfield had advised theBoard earlier, there were significant changes regarding independent members,and consequently, arrangements for chairing the existing committee structure.The Board will continue to meet on a monthly basis, but change its name to‘senior management team’ and have only one independent member inattendance (Dr Alison Hall). The meeting will be formal and minuted as now.Dr Alison Hall will also attend the LPT TCS Programme Board.Further information is awaited with regard to LPT’s governance structure and asummary of the structure will be provided upon receipt.The human resource process has gone well, with no follow-up questions beingraised. 470 staff attended the nine briefing session, led by Paul Miller and KamKotecha. Senior LPT colleagues were present at all but one of the sessions towelcome staff to LPT and describe the organisation and its aspirations as anenlarged organisation. The post transfer measures were noted as:- LPT would seek to change our annual leave year in 2012 to end on 31March instead of 31 December.- Following the transfer, LPT will carry out a review of services in all businessunits and support services and review its management structures to ensurethat the organisation is able to realise the benefits of integration. Subject toconsultation before and after the transfer, this potentially could result insome existing roles being removed from the structure and individuals fromall three organisations having to apply competitively for new roles in a newstructure.- LPT has been asked to make savings of 2% following the transfers. Wherethe savings cannot be made through improvements and efficiency savings,this could also result in redundancies.In summary, Paul Miller commented that LCCHS is an organisation which triedto live and live up to its values, mission and vision. It delivered new services,improved services and generated creativity and innovation. Room forimprovement remains and the transfer to LPT presents the opportunity toimplement better care pathways for patients as part of a very large providerorganisation.It was RESOLVED:- to note the report.6
PS/11/56To Receive A Report on the PEAT InspectionsPaper DNHS Leicester City Board Meeting12 May 2011Paul Miller and Teresa Smith explained the PEAT Inspection process alongwith the anticipated results for both Brookside Court and Clarendon Mews. Inaccordance with the National Patient Safety Agency (NPSA) instructions we arerequired to carry out self assessments for all in-patient sites with 10 beds ormore. Whilst responsibility for the day to day management of the PEATprogramme sits with the NPSA, both the Department of Health and the CareQuality Commission (CQC) continue to be partners in this process. Again thisyear the NPSA will submit a Trust score to the Care Quality Commission whichwill form evidence for the following outcomes:Outcome 8 (Regulation 12) Cleanliness and Infection ControlOutcome 10 (Regulation15) Safety and Suitability of PremisesOutcome 5 (Regulation 14) Meeting Nutritional NeedsThis year changes have been made to the Food and Hydration section withadditional questions attracting scores so results are not just based on the mealservice and food provision but policy and operational issues. The selfassessment teams comprised senior managers from both sites as well assupport services and facilities consortium staff. As in previous years there wasa requirement for a patient/carer or patient representative to be included in theinspection team and that patient representative accompanied both audits.The anticipated scores and grading have now been forwarded to the NationalPatient Safety Agency (NPSA) and were noted as follows:Brookside CourtEnvironmentFood/HydrationPrivacy and DignityClarendon MewsEnvironmentFood/HydrationPrivacy and DignityExcellentExcellentGoodGoodGoodExcellentThe significant level of improvement was noted by the Board.It was RESOLVED:- to note the audit scores of the properties and the overall achievement ofthe scores.- to note the action plan to resolve identified shortfalls within the audits.PS/11/57 To Receive the Results of the NHS Staff Survey 2010Kam Kotecha advised the Board of the key findings from the national NHS StaffSurvey for LCCHS and provided comparisons with the national 2010 averagesfor PCT providers and results of the 2009 LCCHS survey.
