Minutes:
The Board received a presentation from Sue Blackman, Project Lead, regarding Your Care Your Way. The presentation covered the following issues:
· On 18 August 2016 the preferred bidder to provide community services within BANES was announced as Virgin Care. This decision had been made on the basis of a number of assessments by both professionals and community champions.
· The following issues had been taken into account during the assessment:
o Services
o Payment
o Quality
o Reporting and Information
o Contract Management
o Governance
o Capability
· The contract is a standard NHS contract.
· The capability of the bidders had been tested, CQC reports had been examined and financial viability had also been investigated.
· The preferred bidder stage structure consisted of 6 workstreams as follows:
o Commissioning
o Communication
o Workforce
o Estates
o Finance
o Information Management and Technology
· The key messages from the Virgin Care bid were leadership, ability to drive transformational change, co-design of services and a valued workforce. The bid demonstrated a joined-up approach to care and prevention, plans to develop multi-disciplinary teams, single care and support plans and self-management. There were also plans to use village agents in rural areas with a care co-ordination centre as a single point of access.
· The Virgin Care bid demonstrated that in areas where they are running services their workforce had felt valued and the company had a track record of managing transition well, engaging volunteers and using technology to provide an integrated care record. They had clear strategies for the adoption of assistive technologies.
A high level road map had been produced and this was circulated to the Board members.
· The service model proposed by Virgin Care identified key contributions to delivering the priorities that people have said are important to them:
o Provide more joined up care
o Consider the whole person
o Focus on prevention
o Reduce social isolation
o Build community capacity
o Guide people through the system
o Value the workforce and volunteers
o Share information more effectively
o Embrace new technology
· Key dates for the project were:
o 9 September 2016 – Working assumptions around scope of the prime provider to be released.
o 25 October 2016 – Preferred bidder stage completed.
o 10 November 2016 – Full business case to governing bodies
· The mobilisation stage would then take place from November 2016 to April 2017.
· Some indications around the transformation roadmap included:
o Year 1 - consultation and co-design.
o Year 2 - mobile working and launch of innovation fund
o Year 3 – move to paperless working practices
· There would also be an innovation fund which services could bid for.
Members of the Board then asked questions regarding the bid and the contract as follows:
· Is this privatisation of the community care service? Virgin Care is a limited company providing services in the same way that other independent providers provide NHS services. The best service and most capable provider were required that reflected the vision outlined in the specification. There is a ... view the full minutes text for item 21
