    An integrated care board (ICB) has found its handling of whistleblowing “not fit for purpose”, after a complaint about safety incidents not being properly investigated. A report by North West London ICB, obtained by HSJ, states: “The whistleblowing policy is not fit for purpose and requires immediate updating. The [Freedom to Speak Up] Guardian has been left blank and the policy does not include key components of best practice.” It also found the “whistleblower should have been provided with a substantive response to their concerns within 28 days” but in fact waited 98 working days, “due to delays with starting the whistleblowing component of the grievance”. The ICB reviewed its processes after a complaint from a staff member who raised concerns early last year about “a lack of, or poor, response” to reported patient safety incidents in the system, which are meant to be routinely reviewed by ICBs “prior to closure”.

    Proposals for primary care networks to evolve into more collaborative “integrated neighbourhood teams” to improve access to care have been broadly welcomed. A “stocktake” report commissioned by NHS England, published on 26 May, called for urgent same day appointments to be dealt with by “single, urgent care teams” for every neighbourhood with greater use of a range of health and social care professionals. The report, written by Claire Fuller, a general practitioner and chief executive of Surrey Heartlands Integrated Care System, undertaken by Dr Claire Fuller, Chief Executive-designate Surrey Heartlands Integrated Care System and GP on integrated primary care, looks at what is working well, why it’s working well and how we can accelerate the implementation of integrated primary care (incorporating the current 4 pillars of general practice, community pharmacy, dentistry and optometry) across systems. Doctors’ leaders welcomed many of the report’s recommendations but emphasised that they could only work if the government resourced primary care practices better and tackled workforce shortages.

    Integrated care systems are now legally responsible for leading a localised approach that brings multiple aspects of the healthcare system closer together, and for working better with social care and other public services. However, this is not a new aspiration, so why should it be any different this time? The Nuffield Trust hosted a series of roundtables to discuss concerns with stakeholders and experts to try and understand how to ensure the aims are achieved. This report summarises these findings and offers ways forward as the new era gets underway.

    NHS England has launched the first substantive consultation on changes to the NHS provider licence since 2013. Licences set out the requirements providers must meet and are the legal mechanism NHS England can use to take enforcement action. Having a licence has long been mandatory for foundation trusts and independent providers, and will become so for trusts. The intention is for the proposals to take effect from next year. Most of the changes to the licence regime have been made to bring it into line with this year’s Health and Care Act and accompanying policy changes. For example, trusts will be required to collaborate with other providers and work effectively as part of their integrated care system. This extends to trusts delivering agreed financial plans decided at a system level. The aim is to provide “mutual accountability” and ensure each provider does not use “more than their fair share of NHS resources”.' Read full story (paywalled) Source: HSJ, 28 October 2022

    An integrated care system which has some of England’s worst waiting times for emergency care lacks “delivery structure and processes” to make desperately needed improvements, according to an external report. Research by consultancy Prism into the Cornwall and Isles of Scilly integrated care system (ICS) concluded it had “unclear governance” for management and recovery of urgent and emergency care, with “multiple disconnected structures in place to manage tactical and strategic recovery of performance”. The report comes as the ICS grapples with record waits for emergency care, with stroke and heart attack victims waiting three hours for an ambulance and patients stuck for two days in Royal Cornwall Hospital’s emergency department. The review was commissioned by the Cornwall Integrated Care Board to look at patient flow across the system and make recommendations about how this can be improved. Prism interviewed leaders from the organisations within the Cornish ICS. One leader described the system as “so broken”, while another commented that the role of the ICB in supporting and delivering urgent and emergency care “is not clear”.

    This engagement document is focused on the role of integrated care partnerships (ICPs) within statutory arrangements for integrated care systems (ICSs). It has been jointly developed by the Department of Health and Social Care, NHS England and NHS Improvement and the Local Government Association (LGA). This document focuses on the role of ICPs within systems. ICPs are a critical part of ICSs and the journey towards better health and care outcomes for the people they serve. The ICP will provide a forum for NHS leaders and local authorities to come together, as equal partners, with important stakeholders from across the system and community. Together, the ICP will generate an integrated care strategy to improve health and care outcomes and experiences for their populations, for which all partners will be accountable.

    Major new reform of the NHS will not work until Government addresses multiple chronic issues in the service, says the Public Accounts Committee (PAC) in a new report. The case has not been made for what improvements Integrated Care Systems (ICSs) will bring to patients, and by when.  ICSs are the latest attempt to bring NHS and local government services together to join up services and focus on prevention. But the Committee says the reforms will founder if the major systemic problems in the NHS are not addressed by Government at a national level:  the elective care backlog has breached seven million cases for the first time; major workforce issues have hamstrung both the NHS and social care; constantly increasing demand; a crumbling NHS estate; and limits on funding.   These challenges require national leadership but there is a worrying lack of oversight in the new system, and crucial national projects like the NHS Workforce Plan and capital funding strategy are repeatedly delayed – what the Committee calls 'paralysis by analysis'. The cost of overdue maintenance has reached £9 billion - £4.5 billion classed as high or significant risk - and there are questions about who gets to keep proceeds of any assets sold under ICSs.    Not enough is being done to focus on preventing ill-health, and not enough joint working between government departments to tackle the causes of ill-health. The failure to ensure adequate NHS funded dental care risks creating more acute dental health problems.

    Breaking down the barriers between organisations is key to the successful development of integrated care systems (ICSs), and the underpinning digital transformation that their introduction demands. Digital transformation can become the foundation of partnership working across health, social care, local government, and wider partners – including those in the voluntary, community and social enterprise, and private sectors – as place-based approaches to delivering care develop. This session from The King's Fund will explore what is being done to create collaborative digital strategies at ICS level that enable practical and flexible ways of working between partners. It will discuss how best to harness and use the data the system already holds, and how partnerships can move beyond barriers around data sharing, co-ordination and workforce capacity. Register

    The NHS in England’s annual budget is £161 billion. Yet across the sector there is huge cause for concern, including the still-growing backlog, workforce issues, the state of the estate and the relentless demand on primary care. In this blog, ex-NHS strategic health authority chief executive Mike Farrar and Health Policy Insight editor Andy Cowper look at how these issues can be tackled to provide an NHS that meets the needs of the population. They cover the following subjects: Politics, policy and prevention System working and pivoting to prevention - how to shift resources Building a compelling case for change Moving towards less top-down-ism Being clear about what an ICS is for Culture change and mindsets shifts Resourcing change

    ICS Futures is a roundtable series held by the Public Policy Projects ICS Network and chaired by Matthew Swindells, Chair of the North West London Acute Collaborative and former Deputy CEO of NHS England. The Network is made up of senior leaders from across the health and care sectors. The Network convened for three Chatham House roundtables between 16 May and 17 June 2022. The objective of discussions was to highlight challenges and opportunities in integrated care based on real-world examples, to scale best practice and provide ongoing practical advice for system leaders and care providers. Thoughts were also given on key legislative developments, with some national policy recommendations highlighted. This document summarises the key findings and recommendations from each meeting. It is not an exhaustive description of health and care system leaders’ views but rather provides a snapshot into the thoughts and concerns of a specific cohort of senior stakeholders

    With integrated care boards (ICBs) becoming statutory organisations it is time for them to hit the ground running. Professor David Colin-Thome, chair of PCC, reviews the Fuller stocktake, and identifies the opportunity for ICBs to facilitate the recommendations in the report and enable the development of neighbourhoods that will make a difference.

    The NHS in England is about to be reorganised. In April 2022, government passed the Health and Care Act 2022 – the biggest legislative overhaul of the NHS in a decade. The centrepiece of the legislation are integrated care systems (ICSs) – area-based agencies responsible for planning local services to improve health and reduce inequalities. From July 2022, England will be formally divided into 42 ICSs, covering populations of around 500,000 to 3 million people. ICSs have existed informally since 2016, but – until now – lacked formal powers. ICSs face a mammoth task. Staffing shortages in the NHS are chronic, record numbers of people are waiting for routine hospital treatment, and health inequalities in England are wide and growing. But these challenges are not evenly distributed between ICSs – and some systems are better equipped to deal with them than others. Policymakers have allowed some flexibility in how local systems have been developed and organised, which means they vary widely in size, structure, and other characteristics. In this long read, The Health Foundation analyses publicly available data on some of the characteristics of ICSs and context in each area – including the organisational and policy context, health challenges, and capacity within the health care system to address them. It compares areas and discusses implications for policy.

    This guidance provides further clarity to guide the development of quality governance arrangements in integrated care systems (ICSs), particularly System Quality Groups (SQGs), which all ICSs must have. It sets out the National Quality Board’s requirements for quality governance in ICSs. Provides model terms of reference for SQGs and place-based meetings. Outlines suggested relationships with the integrated care boards (ICBs) and local authority assurance in relation to wider quality governance. Provides advice on administrating SQGs, including conflicts of interest. Sets out key principles for the approach to risk management within SQGs. This will be supplemented by further NHS England and NHS Improvement guidance on risk response and escalation, due in early 2022.   See also the National Quality Board's Position Statement: Managing Risks and Improving Quality through Integrated Care Systems

    Specialised services typically care for small numbers of patients with rare or complex conditions. They are commonly overlooked in debates around the future of the NHS. This is despite costs growing by over 50% in eight years, and now exceeding £20bn per year. The spotlight is returning, with proposals from NHS England to change how these services are planned, with power and responsibility being devolved down to new Integrated Care Boards – sub-regional structures across England. This report sets out a series of recommendations which Policy Exchange believe should underpin these reforms, including refinement of the services into more logical groupings, an expanded role for patient and carer input into service design, and stronger ministerial and financial oversight to ensure the sustainability of service delivery for the longer term.

    The establishment of 42 integrated care systems ushers in an unprecedented opportunity to deliver wide ranging improvements in population health and care as well as wider system performance. If that potential is to be realised, digital and analytics will need to play a central role. How can ICS leaders grasp this opportunity?
