Up to Speed with…the Carter Review of community and mental health trusts An NHS Improvement review of community and mental health trusts to identify areas where they could improve productivity and efficiency is underway in 23 trusts. Led by Lord Carter of Coles, the process is mirroring his recent review of operational productivity and performance in English NHS acute hospitals, which suggested that acute non-specialist trusts could save at least £5bn in efficiencies by 2020-21. The review will identify where there are unwarranted variations and then support community and mental health trusts with a series of recommendations to ensure that patients receive highquality, high-value care wherever they live.
It will also engage with trusts to specify the benchmarking criteria for an ‘optimal model’ NHS community or mental health care trust.
“There will be many areas where we will need to jointly produce recommendations and solutions that are tailored to the varied work undertaken in these settings,” explains Luke Edwards, Director of Sector Development, NHS Improvement. The review process will look to understand: • How organisations in mental health and community trusts operate • What good looks like • What approaches to improving productivity and efficiency are already in place and what opportunities there are to drive these further • What metrics and indicators are required to support the development CONTINUED ON PAGE 2
Primary Care Home rolling out to 12% of the population The Primary Care Home model is expanding across the country at such a pace with the National Association of Primary Care (NAPC) highlighting there will be more than 160 sites serving 12% of the population over the next few months.
L
aunched in October 2015, the Primary Care Home provides a complete care community, meeting the health and
social care needs of a registered population of 30-50,000 patients with similar features to a multispecialty community provider (MCP) model.
“An early report on the impact of the first 15 Primary Care Home rapid test sites from PA Consulting Group is looking positive”, says Dr Nav Chana, NAPC chair. “Progress is being made not only with the numbers of sites coming on board but also with the engagement of people who are working in them and are enthused by the new way of working.”
SP
As more and more sites come on board they are joining a ‘Community of Practice’, which is sharing the challenges and successes and the whole learning experience of setting up the new model of care. The Primary Care Home enables general practices and other local providers to work together to focus on local health priorities with an integrated workforce drawn from hospitals, primary care, community health services, social care and the voluntary sector.

Brave new decisions are needed to resolve the pressures on adult social care Genuinely new funding is needed to relieve the extreme pressures currently facing adult social care, says the Local Government Association (LGA).
T
“
here is a real and pressing need for a solution because you have got social care providers going bust and councils on the edge,” says Sarah Pickup, LGA Deputy Chief Executive, who will be discussing the LGA’s concerns at the Commissioning Show.
The additional £2 billion for adult social care announced in the Spring Budget represents a significant step towards protecting care services for older and disabled people. But, she warns, short term pressures remain and the challenge will be to find a long-
term solution to the social care crisis. This must include giving councils continuous additional funding which can be put into local government baselines. CONTINUED ON PAGE 8
