NORTHERN DERBYSHIRE UNIT OF PLANNING VISION
‘Get the best possible outcome for our patients with the limited resources that we have’.
The strategic vision for the North Derbyshire Unit of Planning is a health and care system which focuses on prevention of ill-health and disease, reduces health inequalities and
provides high quality integrated care that enables people to retain independence for as long as possible supported by their local community. Where required services will be
responsive, safe, caring and provide a good experience of care still within the local community in the majority of cases. Where exceptionally more urgent, emergency or
specialised services are required these will be accessed easily and people will be supported to return to their local community as quickly as possible.
OUR AMBITIONS
DELIVERED THROUGH THE FOLLOWING INTERVENTIONS
Overseen through the following
governance arrangements:
 Reduce by 489 the number of years
of life lost by the people of Northern
Derbyshire from treatable conditions
(e.g. cancer, stroke, heart disease,
respiratory disease, liver disease).

 Improve by 5% the quality of life of
the people in Northern Derbyshire
living with one or more long term
condition.
Existing system wide structures:
o Adult Care Board
o Health and Well Being Board
o Children’s Trust Board
o Joint Commissioning Co-ordinating
Group
Northern Derbyshire Unit of Planning
structures (under review):
st
o 21 Century Transformation
Programme Board
o Internal CCG governance structures
o Urgent Care Working Group

 Reduce the number of avoidable
hospital admissions by 1905 over the
next 5 years through improving the
quality of primary and community
care and people’s ability to selfmanage.
Measured using the following
success criteria:
 Reduce the proportion of people
reporting a poor experience of
inpatient care by 6%
 The health and wellbeing of the Northern
Derbyshire population will be maximised
and health inequalities reduced
 Material changes in patient outcomes
across the 7 outcomes ambitions
 All organisations within the health
economy will meet their financial targets
year on year
 Robust planning, assurance and early
warning arrangements support
no/limited regulatory scrutiny.
 Reduce the proportion of people
reporting a very poor experience of
primary care by 11%.
Achievement of the improving outcomes
ambitions will be used as the key set of
measures to determine whether the above
criteria have been met.

a) System
vision
What is the vision for the system in five
years’ time?
The Northern Derbyshire Unit of Planning has been Derbyshire
heavily involved in developing the Derbyshire Integration Strategy:
Integration Strategy and the vision for Derbyshire, as
articulated in the Better Care Fund Plan, which focuses
Derbyshire Accord
on achieving a seamless health and care service.
Doc.pdf
The Derbyshire Integration Strategy (attached) aims to
describe the desired vision for the Derbyshire health
and care system by 2018/19. The Better Care Fund
Plan for Derbyshire is based on this strategy. The
direction of travel is to place the local person at the
centre of our actions so that all services will be personcentred. The Derbyshire system will work in

partnership with the people needing care and their
families and carers and provide care as close to the
person’s home as possible and when appropriate
support them to access the right care away from home.
Above all the aim wherever possible and appropriate is
to encourage people to self-care with the support of
their community before they come into contact with or
need public services.
The health and care system in Derbyshire pursues this
goal in a time of challenge and flux. The national
challenges to the NHS and Local Government are well
understood and include the impact of the ageing
society, rise of long-term conditions, increasing patient
expectations, increasing costs of providing care, limited
availability of productivity gains and constrained public
resources. In addition we have local challenges and
drivers for change. In Northern Derbyshire there is a
multiplicity of providers with overlap, duplication and
fragmentation leading to frequent patient hand offs
between providers.
Patient and public engagement has told us that there is
a lack of joined up services locally which has a
negative effect on patient outcomes. Patients are
falling through the gaps between services and
struggling with organisational boundaries, geographical
boundaries and generic standardised services which
are not personalised around the patient.
Underpinning the Derbyshire vision is the strategic
vision for the Northern Derbyshire Unit of Planning,
which is clear and definite: get the best possible

outcome for our patients with the limited resources that
we have. It is recognised that in order to better meet
the needs of our people, within the resources we have
available, requires major changes to the way in which
care is provided.
The Northern Derbyshire Unit of Planning envisages a
health and care system which focuses on prevention of
ill-health and disease, reduces health inequalities and
provides high quality integrated care that enables
people to retain independence for as long as possible
supported by their local community. Where required
services will be responsive, safe, caring and provide a
good experience of care still within the local community
in the majority of cases. Where exceptionally more
urgent, emergency or specialised services are required
these will be accessed easily and people will be
supported to return to their local community as quickly
as possible.
The following statements have been developed in
consultation with the public to describe the vision from
a patient’s perspective:

 Fundamentally the needs and wishes of the
individual will be at the centre of care delivery

To direct the changes required, a statement of ‘what
good looks like’ for the future system in five years’ time
has been defined. Fundamentally we want the system
to keep people:



Safe and healthy – free from crisis and
exacerbation
At home – out of social and health care beds
Independent – managing with minimum support

System Plan
The statement of ‘what good looks like’, the headline
changes to the system and how we propose to deliver
these changes are summarised in the attached
ND UoP System Plan
‘Northern Derbyshire Unit of Planning System Plan’ on v1 final 19.6.14.pdf
pages 4 to 6.
How does the vision include the six
characteristics of a high quality and
sustainable system and transformational
service models highlighted in the
guidance? Specifically:
1. Ensuring that citizens will be fully
included in all aspects of service
design and change, and that patients
will be fully empowered in their own
care
2. Wider primary care, provided at
scale
3. A modern model of integrated care
4. Access to the highest quality urgent
and emergency care
5. A step-change in the productivity of

The Northern Derbyshire Unit of Planning System Plan
has been aligned to the six characteristics of a high
quality and sustainable system and the improvement
interventions grouped according to the transformational
service models. This is illustrated in the attached
System Plan on page 6.
The System Plan is founded on the development of
integrated care to better meet the ongoing care needs
of the people of North Derbyshire, where services are
person centred, enable people to self-care, thereby
keeping themselves well for longer and reducing the
level of unplanned care they receive. For this reason
integrated care is placed at the centre of the
transformation programme.
This reflects that
integrated models of care are being developed across

the age and need spectrum including for the frail and
elderly, for children and young people and for those
with mental health conditions.
Besides the development of integrated care the system
will also improve and align other aspects of care, which
are represented in terms of the characteristics of a high
quality, sustainable health and care system. These
include:





Prevention and self care
Primary care
Emergency and urgent care
Elective care
Specialist care
The decision has also been taken locally to add a
number of other workstreams including mental health,
children’s services and adult social care as it was
believed that these too presented opportunities to
further improve and align the system.
It is anticipated that the collective impact of these
improvement interventions will deliver the Northern
Derbyshire Unit of Planning strategic vision and the
improving outcomes ambitions contained within the
individual CCG’s operational plans. This will in turn
enable each CCG to meet its financial obligations and
ensure providers remain sustainable and financially
sound.
How does the five year vision address
the following aims:

assessed?
The strategic vision and plan presented in the
Northern Derbyshire Unit of Planning will result in a
significantly different future state. From a
resources perspective a planning scenario that best
matches the system plan narrative has been used
to estimate the potential impact on the whole
system and also impact by individual care area.
This is represented in financial terms in the bridge
diagram on page 7 of the Northern Derbyshire Unit
of Planning System Plan.
This diagram has been developed with the input of
providers and commissioners and the scale of
impact signed up to. Whilst this represents the
current direction of travel, it should be recognised
that the next steps are that a strategy for
implementation developed will be developed and
agreed. Once this strategy is agreed all
organisations (commissioners and providers) will
develop individual plans to operationalise the
strategy. Until these plans are fully developed and
agreed the individual organisation finance plans will
not fully reflect the current vision. Our aspiration is
that the finance and activity plans submitted for
2015-16 by both commissioners and providers will
fully reflect the implications of the North Derbyshire
vision.
The bridge diagram describes the current state, i.e.
funding across the system of £503m in 13/14. If we
were to adopt a ‘do nothing’ approach as a system,
11
Supported by:
Segment
Key Line of Enquiry
Organisation response
based on the forecast growth and cost pressures,
we are estimating that there would be a £150m gap
in funding within 5 years’ time.
The bridge diagram describes the disinvestments
we plan to undertake by care area over the next
five years, i.e. reduce demand through introducing
integrated care and referral management, providing
care in the right setting, reducing length of stay and
creating pathway efficiencies. This is balanced
against reinvestment in improved pathways of care,
providing care in the right setting and investment in
integrated models of care. The net result of this is
a care system that is high quality and sustainable.
The bridge diagram therefore illustrates a balanced
aiming point for 2018/19 representing the scale of
impact and investment. In comparison to the
‘default’ planning assumptions of 4% per annum
provider CIP plus 2% commissioner QIPP this plan
is based on delivering the equivalent of 4% per
annum demand management and care setting
improvements plus 2% efficiency across the whole
system.
It should however be noted that the bridging
diagram as shown states that the cost of the
system by 2018/19 will be £566m against forecast
funding of £555m, thereby suggesting a gap of c.
£11m. This is because it does not include the
benefits that may be realised over the duration of
the plan, which are dependent on the prioritisation
and phasing of big impact transformational
interventions. The prioritisation and phasing of key
12
Supported by:
Segment
Key Line of Enquiry
Organisation response
transformational interventions is yet to be defined,
but is estimated that benefits could equate to c.
£20m. The diagram also does not include the cost
of delivering the transformation required.
A full risk assessment has been undertaken on the
financial plan, which contains appropriate
mitigations and a number of alternative planning
scenarios have been considered to determine the
planned impact on the system. These are detailed
on page 41 of the Northern Derbyshire Unit of
Planning System Plan. The bridge diagram
contained on page 42 represents the default view
and is considered to include a conservative view of
the potential impact of integrated care. This view is
represented in the system’s financial plan
submissions, which will continue to be refined over
the coming months as our System Plan is
developed and better understood.
Quality impact assessment will also be undertaken
on the key transformational interventions identified
as priority, which will ensure that any disinvestment,
reinvestment and changes we make to services
over the next five years will not be detrimental to
the quality of care provided.
b) You should explain how your five year strategic
plan will improve outcomes in the seven areas
identified, within the context of the needs of your
local population and what quantifiable level of
improvement you are aiming to achieve.

The system plan describes why Northern
Derbyshire must change the way it delivers care
and shows how integrated care is at the heart of this
response, both in terms of what this will mean for
patients as well as the system. In addition it
describes what good looks like for the other key
elements of the health and care delivery system
together with the necessary ingredients for delivery.
How these elements fit together and how success
will be measured is illustrated in the diagram on
page 13 of the System Plan.
This diagram demonstrates that by transforming the
system, changing patterns of consumption and
responding to the health and care needs of the
population we will be able to deliver significantly
improved outcomes for the Northern Derbyshire
population. The success of this planned
transformation will be measured against the national
improving outcomes ambitions, which can be
quantified as follows:




Reduce by 489 the number of years of life
lost by the people of Northern Derbyshire
from treatable conditions (e.g. cancer, stroke,
heart disease, respiratory disease, liver
disease)
Improve by 5 percentage points on average
the quality of life of the people in Northern
Derbyshire living with one or more long-term
conditions
Reduce the number of avoidable hospital
admissions by 1905 over the next 5 years

through improving the quality of primary and
community care and people’s ability to selfmanage.
 Reduce the proportion of people reporting a
poor experience of inpatient care by 6%.
 Reduce the proportion of people reporting a
very poor experience of primary care by
11%.
The Northern Derbyshire Unit of Planning System Plan
identifies a number of planned changes within each of
the key characteristics of a high quality, sustainable
health and care system. These initiatives have been
mapped against the nature of the impact in terms of:
 Managing demand: prevention and referral
management
 Right Care, Right Setting: Right Care, Right
Setting and reduced length of stay
 Efficiency: improved pathways
The initiatives and their planned impact are detailed on
page 38 of the System Plan. The financial impact of
these initiatives is defined in the bridge diagram on
page 42 and is based on the planned changes and
reductions in activity that will result, which links back to
the seven improving outcomes ambitions. For
example, by introducing integrated models of care
such as community based teams and increasing the
use of care plans it is anticipated that emergency
admissions will reduce across the system by 22% in 5
years time. The Unit of Planning has undertaken
detailed modelling on the changes we are planning to
15

make in order to arrive at the ambitions contained
within the Plan.
c) Reducing health inequalities
The Northern Derbyshire Unit of Planning System
Plan identifies the case for change (pages 14 to 20)
and highlights some of the most significant health
inequalities experienced by the Northern Derbyshire
population. These include:
 An ageing population – significantly higher than
the national average
 High prevalence of long term conditions
(Coronary Heart Disease, Diabetes and
Hypertension
 Significant variation in deprivation and associated
determinants of health
The JSNA and public health profiles for Hardwick
and North Derbyshire CCGs show a variation
across Northern Derbyshire Unit of Planning as a
whole. Due to the health status of the population of
Hardwick CCG and parts of North Derbyshire CCG,
reducing inequalities is a central theme to the
Northern Derbyshire Unit of Planning Plan, which
seeks to address these inequalities and rebalance
the way resources are currently used to best meet
the needs of the population.
To address the inequalities that exist there are a
range of initiatives contained within the Plan aimed
at reducing unwarranted clinical variation across
16

Supported by:
primary and secondary care, improving equity of
access, initiatives to ensure parity of esteem and
targeted preventative measures to improve lifestyle
choices and reduce premature mortality. These
initiatives are reflected in the ambitious targets to
improve outcomes for the next 5 years, particularly
in the areas of securing additional years of life for
the people with treatable mental and physical health
conditions and improving the health related quality
of life for those with long term conditions.
Who has signed up to the strategic
vision? How have the health and
wellbeing boards been involved in
developing and signing off the plan?
The Northern Derbyshire Unit of Planning engaged GE
Healthcare Finnamore in April 2014 to support the 21st
Century
Programme
Board
(representing
all
stakeholders across Northern Derbyshire) to pull
together existing strands of work and develop a whole
system plan for a safe, clinically and financially
sustainable health and care system for North
Derbyshire.
Over the past three months GE Healthcare Finnamore
have bought together a wide range of stakeholders
from across the system to discuss and agree the
strategic vision including Accountable Officers/Chief
Executives, Clinical Leads, Directors of Finance and
Planning Leads from the following organisations:


 Derbyshire Community Health Services NHS
Trust
 Derbyshire Healthcare NHS Foundation Trust
 Derbyshire Health United (Out of Ours and 111
services)
 East Midlands Ambulance Service NHS Trust
 North Derbyshire Voluntary Association
The Health and Wellbeing Board is identified above as
a key stakeholder and have been involved from the
beginning in the development of the strategic vision
and formally ratified previous iterations. The Health
and Wellbeing Board will receive the final Strategic
Plan submitted on 20th June, and recognising that it will
continue to evolve over time it will be discussed at the
next development session in July 2014.
The Strategic Plan is fully aligned with the Derbyshire
Health and Wellbeing Strategy (2012-2015) and meets
all key outcomes identified by the Health and
Wellbeing Board as being strategic priorities for
Derbyshire County.
The development and progression of the vision is
under the remit of the Derbyshire Health and Wellbeing
Board Task and Finish Group which reports to the
Derbyshire County Health and Wellbeing Board.
The Northern Derbyshire Unit of Planning Strategic
Plan has been reviewed by the East Midlands Clinical
Senate who have provided valuable feedback. In
summary the feedback stated that the plan contained
‘laudable aims’, but required more detail on ‘how the

very much informed this final submission.
The
Plan
has
also
been
considered
by
Derbyshire/Nottinghamshire Area Team and feedback
received. Again this feedback has been incorporated
within this latest submission. Reciprocally the Northern
Derbyshire CCGs have been fully engaged in
development of the Area Team’s Direct Commissioning
Plans, in particular the plans for Primary Care. The
Northern Derbyshire Unit of Planning strategic
vision/Plan incorporates the strategic direction of the
Direct Commissioning plans, which are essential to the
achievement of the overall aims contained within the
strategic plan.
The Better Care Fund Plan has been developed jointly
by the LA, all 4 Derbyshire CCGs and in conjunction
with Tameside and Glossop CCG with regards their
Glossop population.
The Northern Derbyshire Unit of Planning five year
Strategic Plan builds on this work and recognises that
the Better Care Fund Plan, Primary Care Strategy and
5 year strategic plan are intrinsically linked and
collectively pivotal to achieving the outcomes required.
The key elements described within the Better Care
Fund documentation have been formally agreed as
integrated care, community integrated working, 7 day
working and other areas which require evaluation or
development during 2014/15. These workstreams
directly support the key programme areas contained

within the Northern Derbyshire Unit of Planning’s 5
year strategic plan and will therefore contribute to the
delivery of the 5 year strategic vision.

It should also be noted that the CCGs have been
heavily involved in discussion with providers and lead
commissioners in mid Nottinghamshire, Greater
Manchester and South Yorkshire on their system wide
transformation plans to ensure that any potential
impact on the Northern Derbyshire population/services
is understood and influenced.
What key themes arose from the Call to
Action engagement programme that
have been used to shape the vision?
Patients have been engaged in the development of the
strategic direction of the Northern Derbyshire Unit of
Planning for many years and have worked with us to
develop our integration vision, through personal
involvement in pilot schemes and through our patient
reference groups.
Building on previous engagement activity undertaken
as part of the ‘21st Century Health and Care’ work, the
CCGs held a range of Call to Action events including
locality based stakeholder forums, clinical meetings for
primary care staff, events for the public to contribute
their views about how to address the challenges that
need to be faced in primary care and an event linked to
Children’s Takeover Day where students from local
secondary schools were invited to participate in the
CCGs’ Lay Reference Group meetings in November.
At these events stakeholders were asked to comment
on the CCGs’ draft commissioning intentions and the
strategic priorities identified from the health needs

assessment undertaken.
Feedback varied slightly by locality, however
stakeholders were largely in support of the priorities
identified with a particular emphasis on strengthening
primary and community care, encouraging more
integrated working and introducing more multidisciplinary teams to provide person centred care.
There were three clear overall themes, communication,
integration and self-care.
Communication:
Communication between clinicians and patients and
their carers but also between health and care
organisations was a concern. Communication and
integration between organisations was seen as way of
keeping people out of hospital and improving patient
care. We were asked to give some focus to the role of
carers.
Integration:
Integration as an approach to reducing non-elective
admissions was seen as a positive step to improve
quality, however people thought we should ensure
there’s capacity in the community to support this vision
and we should ensure we make good use of the
voluntary and community sector. Concerns were raised
around how county council funding issues will affect
their ability to support our vision.
Self-care:
Self-care, including helping people to stay health was a

key theme; concerns included getting health messages
to young people particularly around alcohol use, but
also practical issues such as cooking and budgeting
skills.
This feedback, combined with other analysis available
to the CCG has informed the development of the
Northern Derbyshire Unit of Planning strategic vision
and the priorities contained within the two year
operational plan.
The summary reports from events are attached for
further information.
Is there a clear ‘you said, we did’
framework in place to show those that
engaged how their perspective and
feedback has been included?
Both CCGs use existing processes for ensuring that
the public can see a direct link between their feedback
and our strategy, this will include information on CCG
websites and information provided directly to our
patient reference group and Patients’ network. Clear
links have been made within our strategy documents.
Both CCGs also have stakeholder forums/ patient
reference groups which have been influenced by the
Francis Report. These groups provide an opportunity
for the CCGs to hear feedback from service users to
ensure patient centred quality services. Feedback and
corresponding actions are discussed regularly within
these arenas and the information is also available to
the wider public on the CCGs websites.
The CCGs have also adopted a ‘You Said, We Did’
approach, with stakeholders told how their feedback
has been included in the CCGs’ operational plans, as

well as driving the Northern Derbyshire Unit of
Planning strategic vision. This ‘closing of the loop’
continues to be a regular feature of the stakeholder
forums.
The stakeholder meetings held in autumn 2013
delivered the Call to Action themes as well as testing
out the CCGs’ draft commissioning priorities. The
response to these events has strongly influenced the
CCGs’ final strategy and vision.
The system vision was presented to Derbyshire County
Council elected members, including Scrutiny
Committee members, in June 2014 and described
what we have already achieved and the impact of
these achievements on the future delivery of services.
a) Current
position
Has an assessment of the current state
been undertaken? Have opportunities
and challenges been identified and
agreed? Does this correlate to the
Commissioning for Value packs and
other benchmarking materials?
Pre consultation has already commenced to inform a
broad spectrum of the population of the vision and
during this time firm proposals will be developed which
will be used as the basis of the formal consultation that
will be undertaken over the autumn.
Yes – a review of the current state has been
undertaken and is provided in detail in the System Plan
on pages 12 to 20. This section describes the key
challenges facing the Northern Derbyshire system,
which are consistent with the national challenges
described in ‘The NHS belongs to the people: a call to
action’ (July 2013).
The Northern Derbyshire Unit of Planning recognises
and agrees that to better meet the care needs of our

major changes to the way in which care is provided.
The opportunities to address the challenges facing the
system have been identified as:



Delivering integrated care at scale – proactively
supporting the needs of the ‘top 20%’
Shifting care out of bedded services and into
team based community care
Aligning the system to work differently
These opportunities are supported by a statement of
what good looks like (see summary on page 4 of the
System Plan), which in turn has enabled the
identification of a range of improvement interventions
described in pages 28 to 38 of the System Plan.
The improvement interventions detailed in the Northern
Derbyshire Plan were guided by a range of
benchmarking and health needs assessment tools
including the Commissioning for Value tool, Atlas of
Variation and local JSNA. North Derbyshire and
Hardwick CCGs used this information and through
consultation with their stakeholders determined the
areas requiring prioritisation from 2014/15 onwards,
which are reflected in the System Plan.
The above sources of information were also used to
inform detailed activity, finance and capacity modelling,
which was undertaken in developing the Plan.
Examples of additional activities undertaken include:

Public Health has developed a prevention
strategy, which has informed the Prevention and
Self Care element of the Plan. This has helped
the Unit of Planning to understand how we
should work with public health, adult care,
voluntary sector and community themselves to
develop community resilience and capacity.
Public Health were also commissioned to
undertake a bed capacity modelling exercise to
further understand the size of the challenge for
the health and care system and how the
transformational
interventions
proposed,
including implementing models of integrated
care, may impact on the sustainability of the
system. This was presented to the 21st Century

current state identifies.
Yes – the Northern Derbyshire Unit of Planning
believes that the two year operational plan submitted
provides the foundations required to deliver the
strategic vision. The Northern Derbyshire Unit of
Planning has undertaken detailed analysis and
modelling to ensure that the ambitions and activity
plans set are realistic and will deliver the improvement
required. This is critical as the system will be using the
ambition metrics and associated activity impacts to
determine whether the interventions described in the
Strategic Plan and Better Care Fund Plan have been
delivered successfully.
The Northern Derbyshire Unit of Planning has Northern Derbyshire
considered the respective CCG baselines and Unit of Planning
considered the individual ambitions submitted in the Ambitions:
Operational Plan templates.
We have recognised that there is varying performance
across the two CCGs for the ambition outcome
measures and therefore quite different starting points.
With this in mind we have agreed a methodology which
aggregates the outcome ambitions that we believe is
realistic (based on the improvement interventions we
have planned) yet ambitious.
The proposed level of attainment at individual CCG
and Unit of Planning level, including the anticipated
activity change, is attached.

c) Sustainability
Are the outcome ambitions included
within the sustainability calculations? I.e.
the cost of implementation has been
evaluated and included in the resource
plans moving forwards?
Yes – the outcome ambitions are included within the
sustainability calculations in the Financial and
Operational Plans. For example the ambition to
reduce the amount of time people spend avoidably in
hospital by 22% is reflected in the Activity Plan
(Prov_Comm template) and the associated reduction in
the cost of emergency admissions is reflected in the
Financial Plan.

assumptions made by the health economy and have
heavily influenced the shape the System Plan has
taken.
Feedback from the Call to Action events,
supplemented by other feedback received from
patients, public and stakeholders told us that we
should strengthen primary and community care,
encourage more integrated working and introduce
more multi-disciplinary teams to provide person
centred care. Overarching themes also included
inconsistencies in access to services, which links with
intelligence we have accessed on health inequalities all
of which the System Plan seeks to address.

the impact of these interventions can be identified
within the activity and financial projections.
The bridge diagram on page 42 of the System Plan
details the forecast impact of the planned investments

The System Plan is founded on the development of
integrated care to better meet the ongoing care needs
of the people of North Derbyshire, where services are
person centred, enable people to self-care, thereby
keeping themselves well for longer and reducing the
level of unplanned care they receive. For this reason
integrated care is placed at the centre of the
transformation programme.
This reflects that
integrated models of care are being developed across
the age and need spectrum including for the frail and
elderly, for children and young people and for those
with mental health conditions.
Besides the development of integrated care the system
will improve and align other aspects of care. These
include:

supported by a number of initiatives, which are
categorised according to where they will impact on the
shape of the system and can be linked to the overall
impact in financial terms (see pages 28 – 38 of the

The impact and success of the transformational
interventions in their totality will be measured against
the improving outcomes ambitions. The Unit of

Investment Costs
The bridge diagrams on page 42 of the System Plan
describes the level of disinvestment and reinvestment
that will be undertaken over the next five years in order
to deliver the strategic vision and ensure sustainability
of the system in future. This can be linked back to the
matrix on page 38 of the System Plan, which identifies
the impact each transformational intervention is
anticipated to generate.
The bridge diagram on page 43 of the System Plan
takes this one step further and shows the potential
future spend by care area (with reference to current
spend) and the planned reinvestment in ‘right care’
settings and integrated care. It should be noted that
this is deliberately not intended to represent future
spend or investment with any particular providers as
the system recognises that we will undoubtedly need to
align the system to work differently in future, i.e. work
beyond existing organisational and professional
boundaries.
Implementation Timeline
The System Plan provides a suggested roadmap of the
work that will need to happen over the next five years
to deliver the new model of care for the whole system
(see page 47), however it is recognised that in order to
focus transformation resource effectively and efficiently
the Northern Derbyshire Unit of Planning will need to
agree which interventions/initiatives will be undertaken
at which point throughout the five year transformation

programme. Discussions are currently underway
regarding the establishment of a governance structure
that will oversee and manage the five year
transformation programme. It is likely that this
structure will be supported by a Clinical and
Professional Reference Group that will provide a key
function to help the system prioritise the initiatives that
will have the greatest impact at the right time within the
programme’s lifetime. At present there are circa 30
initiatives (and many projects within each), which will
need to be prioritised in order to create a balanced
portfolio of key transformational initiatives across the
spectrum of prevention, integration and pathway
changes/enablers. From the workshops that have
taken place to date a view of the priorities is beginning
to emerge and is detailed on page 46 of the System
Plan. Once the priorities have been identified further
work up of the detail including investment, expected
impact, etc. will be a major focus for the system in the
coming months.
Enablers Required
To ensure the successful delivery of the transformation
programme a number of key system wide enablers will
be required to support and facilitate changes to the
existing model of care. These include:


41
The ability to prioritise which interventions to
undertake and when

different localities due to the needs of their
populations
 A commitment for all system leaders/partners to
work together to deliver the transformation
required
 To learn as we go – recognising that we are on
a journey and that the scale of challenge
required is significant
 7 day working – this underpins all future models
of care and requires all parts of the system to
move at the same pace
 Information management and technology
 More effective use of estate - in the future
facilities will need to be used much more flexibly
and be best located to meet people’s needs
 Workforce and skills
 Developing more effective mechanisms to
commission and contract for the desired future
model of care
 Develop an effective governance structure that
will oversee and manage the transformational
change across the system and ensure cross
system decision making is enabled and
understood.
The key enablers are summarised on page 9 of the
System Plan and described in more detail on pages 48
to 56.
Barriers to Success
The barriers to success are reflective of the enablers
described above, however two are particularly
42
Supported by:
Segment
Key Line of Enquiry
Organisation response
noteworthy and are described further below:
Workforce
One of the greatest barriers to success currently,
particularly in introducing integrated models of care, is
the workforce. Recruitment of staff in key areas such
as nursing, geriatricians for the Acute Re-ablement
Unit, A&E Consultants and GPs has been difficult and
debilitating. Re-providing care in different settings
gives providers opportunities to deliver internal savings
by back-filling vacancies, however this potentially puts
pressure on established or expanding services
elsewhere in the system. This results in difficulties in
flexing resources and providing sufficient capacity to
meet demand and also continue developing and
expanding proactive care services. The key
challenges we anticipate as a result of the strategic
vision we are working towards are:
•
•
•
43
The Northern Derbyshire model for integrated
care will have substantial implications for the
whole provider workforce.
New ways of working – staff will work in multidisciplinary teams made up of employees from
physical and mental health providers and social
care. A shared understanding across
professionals and organisations will be required
to ensure that the team has the right attributes
and all staff are making a valid contribution to
effective integrated care. Clarity of leadership
and accountability will be essential.
Development of existing roles – such as existing
Supported by:
Segment
Key Line of Enquiry
Organisation response
staff in the community providing a greater range
of services and working to ‘top of license’.
• Development of new roles and approach to skillmix – such as care co-ordinators and joint
health and social care workers, and a shift to
higher non-qualified to qualified ratios for
community based care to provide extensive low
level support.
• Primary care professionals – will need to
increase skills and work together in new ways
including multi-professional team working and
sharing skills across practices. Impact of 7 day
working understood.
• Flexible employment models will be required
together with consideration of education and
training needs of a changing workforce.
Clearly the greatest enabler will be for each provider
organisation to enable their workforce to work
differently and across boundaries in multi-disciplinary
teams. To facilitate this discussion has already
commenced across the provider organisations to make
some key changes to contract terms and conditions.
To develop this further and overcome the barriers
described above commissioners and providers across
Northern Derbyshire are engaging with the Local
Education and Training Board to develop a system
wide workforce plan, which will feed into the wider
Health Education East Midlands workforce plan.
Information Management and Technology
The current disconnected nature of health and care
44

Key Line of Enquiry
Organisation response
information management systems is a significant
barrier to achieving a new model of delivery which has
integrated care at its heart. In order to achieve the
required scale and pace of change the existing IM & T
infrastructure will need to be addressed.
The system plan (page 51) describes four key
capabilities that are required to deliver effective
integrated care which will need to underpin a shared
informatics strategy across all organisations. These
are:




Data control
Healthcare analytics
Care coordination and management
Patient and wellness engagement
The establishment of common, integrated social and
clinical care information, centred on the person, is an
ongoing ambition to underpin health and care
community-wide integration and transformation
initiatives. It will enable care professionals to work
within and between their respective organisations,
supporting the continuity of care across pathways and
to provide the opportunity to support the population to
access their care records so that they may more fully
participate in their care.
The health and social care organisations in Derbyshire
are at varying levels of digital maturity and as a
consequence are not able to ensure that the various
systems in use at the point of care across Derbyshire
are easily and seamlessly able to exchange the
45

necessary information to support the integration and
transformation of local services.
So as not to inhibit greater service integration, the
health and social care organisations and associated
partner agencies in Derbyshire have committed to
implement a platform solution that builds on the value
of the capabilities and data contained within the current
best of breed systems to present professionals
delivering care in Derbyshire with a common and
universal access, subject to appropriate governance, to
care information from a wide variety of information
sources and to support citizens to access their
information. To ensure that the maximum value from
this can be achieved at the earliest possible
opportunity, the CCG's within Derbyshire are seeking
support from the Integrated Digital Care Technology
Fund for matched funding to accelerate the scope and
pace of this critical initiative.
Confidence levels of implementation
A great deal of progress has been made over recent
months in aligning organisational thinking and
developing a system wide vision for Northern
Derbyshire. Partnership has always been a strength in
Northern Derbyshire and will be critical in moving
forward for the scale of change that organisations have
now committed to. System partners recognise that we
are at the beginning of an evolving journey that will test
our capacity, capabilities and working relationships,

e) Governance
overview
What governance processes are in
place to ensure future plans are
developed in collaboration with key
stakeholders including the local
community?
Derbyshire System Wide Governance
To date oversight and governance for delivery of the
Derbyshire vision and the Better Care Fund Plan have
taken place through existing structures such as the
Adult Care Board and Derbyshire Children’s Trust
Board to the Health and Wellbeing Board. There is a
monthly Joint Commissioning Co-ordinating Group that
also reports quarterly to the Adult Care Board and
ultimately to the Health and Wellbeing Board.
Oversight and governance of the Northern Derbyshire
Unit of Planning system vision/plan has to date taken
place through the 21st Century Transformation
Programme Board. The Board comprises the Chief
Officers of both Hardwick and North Derbyshire CCGs,
the Chief Executives of the major provider
organisations across Northern Derbyshire as well as
senior representation from public health, the voluntary
sector, adult care, the district council and the Chair of
the Health and Wellbeing Board.
It has now been recognised that a number of forums in
existence potentially overlap in terms of their decision
making authority.
21st Century Transformation
Programme Board have therefore agreed that to
support the system transformation clear cross system
decision making processes need to be established that

 Decisions are made quickly, informed by the
right information.
The governance structure is currently being discussed
and will be agreed imminently, however it is anticipated
that it will consist of a system wide programme
structure with clear leadership and supported by a
system wide Programme Management Office to ensure
delivery. It is likely that this structure will be supported
by a Clinical and Professional Reference Group that
will provide a key function to help the system prioritise
the initiatives that will have the greatest impact at the
right time within the programme’s lifetime. At present
there are circa 30 initiatives (and many projects within
each), which will need to be prioritised in order to
create a balanced portfolio of key transformational
initiatives across the spectrum of prevention,
integration and pathway changes/enablers. From the
workshops that have taken place to date a view of the
priorities is beginning to emerge and is detailed on

North Derbyshire CCG
a) Membership practices:
Member practices are grouped into five localities in
North Derbyshire CCG.
Each locality is
responsible for developing a 2 year operational
plan based on the health needs and requirements
of their local population. These plans feed the
CCG’s operational and strategic plan and are
ratified by the Governing Body.
b) Local community:
The Patient and Public Engagement Plan and
associated work plan provides the detail and focus
for the involvement of local people in the CCG's
decision making process. The CCG has a strong
patient voice via its 21st Century Lay Reference
Group, Patient Participation Groups (PPGs),
Locality Network PPGs, Health Panel, Stakeholder
Meetings and lay representation on committees
and project groups. The CCG has strong links
with Health Watch, voluntary sector organisations,
county, district and borough councils. The CCG
has also developed productive relationships with
vulnerable and hard to reach groups and those
covered by the 9 protected characteristics of the
Equality Act 2012.

All services will be person-centred
We will work in partnership with the people
needing care and their families and carers to
provide care as close to the persons home as
possible, and when appropriate support them to
access the right care away from home.
Care will be provided flexibly
We will listen to and understand the person’s
complete needs and meet them by using all
services and resources available. We will
ensure that we will co-ordinate care across
health, social care and voluntary services to
ensure people receive the right care from the
right service at the right time.
Assumptions will be challenged
We will have the courage to make changes for
the better that will improve the patient
experience and obtain the best value for money.
We will embrace innovation and find new
approaches to care based on sound evidence.
We will commit to monitoring and publishing
patient experience data to be accountable to
those who use our services.
People will be treated with dignity and
respect
We respect and value the people who use and
work in health and care services in Derbyshire
