Agenda item

Presented by Jan Annan from CCG.

Members noted the City & Hackney CCG plans for the Quality Premium for 2016/17.

The programme for 2016/17 was been approved by the Chairman of the Health and

Wellbeing Board on 14 July 2016 and this report was being presented for the

Board’s approval.

Members were informed that the ‘Quality Premium’ was set by NHS England. It was intended to reward CCGs for improvements in the quality of the services that they commission and also for associated improvements in health outcomes and reductions in inequalities in access to services and in health outcomes.

Discussions ensued regarding the statistics included in the report Annually, NHS England designs the Quality Premium which varied from year to year. There ware always national targets that are mandatory and others which could be designed locally and agreed with NHS England. For 2016/17 there were 4 mandatory measures. There was an option to choose 3 local measures from the list of RightCare Metrics. These were chosen by the CCG Programme Boards and consulted upon with the Clinical Commissioning Forum as areas for potential improvement and where data to support evaluation of the outcome will be available by 31.3.17. The indicators chosen support the commissioning plans for 2016/17 and align with areas of priority for the CCG.

Resolved – that the Board Members endorsed the report.
