	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 09/10/2017 answer text <p>NHS Improvement is currently running a competitive process to select a National Health Service organisation to acquire Liverpool Community Health services. They aim to announce the preferred provider in October 2017 and – subject to approval by NHS Improvement of a business case – hope to transfer services to the new provider on 1 April 2018.</p><p> </p><p>NHS Improvement agreed a process of staff engagement with Liverpool Community Health Staff Side representatives. This included prospective providers presenting their proposals to Liverpool Community Health staff followed by the opportunity for Liverpool Community Health staff to ask questions. Staff were then invited to complete a feedback form giving their views on their preferred provider. This information will be available to the NHS Improvement Evaluation Panel but is not part of the Panel’s formal scoring and ranking of the proposals.</p><p> </p><p>Alder Hey has appointed to only one interim role since the commencement of the management contract on 1 May, a senior communications advisor. This role was to cover a gap in capacity following the departure of the previous Director of Communications, so was not a post created by Alder Hey. As part of the management contract, senior roles at Liverpool Community Health have been taken on by the Alder Hey Executive Team. However, this was not possible for the Communications post, as the job holder as at 1 May was about to leave the organisation.</p> answering member constituency Ludlow answering member printed Mr Philip Dunne question first answered 09/10/2017 14:24:45 answering member 1542 label Biography information for Philip Dunne

Following a transaction process led by NHS Improvement (NHSI), Bridgewater NHS Foundation Trust (FT) has been identified as the preferred bidder, and the submission is being assured by NHSI. When let, the existing Liverpool Community Health NHS Trust contract will novate to Bridgewater NHS FT. As such, and as with all other major National Health Service contracts, there is no specific end point.</p><p> </p><p>Efficiency targets post 2018/19 cannot be forecast for any NHS provider. For 2017/18 and 2018/19, all NHS providers are expected to deliver the nationally set target of 2% efficiencies. This would be expected of Bridgewater NHS FT across all its services.</p><p> </p><p>The Cheshire and Mersey Sustainability and Transformation Plan (STP) contained a national template which set out that community spend was anticipated to increase by approximately 3.5% per year (for all CCGs) while hospital spend was anticipated to increase by approximately 1.8% each year. The STP, along with other planning activity, is expected to manage spend to sustainable levels while also ensuring quality and service performance are secured. In North Mersey, there is a Local Delivery System Plan which describes all the work to be undertaken to address this.

This pause was deemed appropriate as it has allowed time to seek assurance that the proposals are the best option for local patients and residents. An overall rating of ‘requires improvement’ would not, in itself, prevent a transaction taking place.</p> answering member constituency Ludlow answering member printed Mr Philip Dunne question first answered 24/02/2017 10:31:05 answering member 1542 label Biography information for Philip Dunne

No successful bid for the Liverpool Community Health contract has been made outside of this process. Rather, an arrangement has been agreed with the three acute trusts (Alder Hey, Royal Liverpool and Aintree) for a short term management contract led by Alder Hey. This is not a bid for acquisition and therefore due diligence that would be required under an acquisition and which would incur cost was not necessary.
