NHS England is responsible for making decisions on how to distribute available resources between commissioning organisations.

We are advised by NHS England that it is working to move clinical commissioning groups (CCGs) towards their target fair share of funding, but has to take a finely balanced decision between making quick progress on pace of change, and at the same time maintaining stability in the system.

We understand that NHS England has targeted those CCGs that were more than 5% above or below their target funding. Nene and Corby CCGs have therefore received a cash increase of 5.21% and 9.4% respectively in 2016/17, compared to 2015/16 – above the England average in terms of overall CCG growth, and bringing them both within 5% of their target allocation.

Allocations over the next few years will continue to move the CCGs closer towards their funding target.

Information on the number of Finished Consultant Episodes (FCEs) when any procedure took place in Kettering General Hospital NHS Foundation Trust for the years 2010/11 to 2013/14 is shown in the table below:

Source: Health and Social Care Information Centre, Hospital Episode Statistics (HES)

Notes:

  1. The above information is not a count of people but a count of FCEs, as the same person may have had more than one episode of care within the same time period.
  2. An FCE is a continuous period of admitted patient care under one consultant within one healthcare provider. FCEs are counted against the year in which they end.
  3. Figures do not represent the number of different patients, as a person may have more than one episode of care within the same stay in hospital or in different stays in the same year.
  4. Data includes the number of episodes where the procedure (or intervention) was recorded in any of the 24 (12 from 2002-03 to 2006-07 and 4 prior to 2002-03) procedure fields in a HES record.
  5. A record is only included once in each count, even if the procedure is recorded in more than one procedure field of the record. Note that more procedures are carried out than episodes with a main or secondary procedure. For example, patients undergoing a ‘cataract operation’ would tend to have at least two procedures – removal of the faulty lens and the fitting of a new one – counted in a single episode.
  6. A provider code is a unique code that identifies an organisation acting as a health care provider (e.g. National Health Service trust or primary care trust). Data from some independent sector providers, where the onus for arrangement of data-flows is on the commissioner, may be missing. Care must be taken when using this data as the counts may be lower than true figures.
  7. HES figures are available from 1989-90 onwards. Changes to the figures over time need to be interpreted in the context of improvements in data quality and coverage (particularly in earlier years), improvements in coverage of independent sector activity (particularly from 2006-07) and changes in NHS practice. For example, apparent reductions in activity may be due to a number of procedures which may now be undertaken in outpatient settings and so no longer include in admitted patient HES data. Conversely, apparent increases in activity may be due to improved recording of diagnosis or procedure information.
  8. Note that HES include activity ending in the year in question and run from April to March, e.g. 2012-13 includes activity ending between 1 April 2012 and 31 March 2013.

In the past 10 years, the Department has paid Action on Smoking and Health (ASH) a total of £16,016.40 in non-grant funding for help in implementing additional strategies targeted at tackling health inequalities.

Grant funding has also been given to ASH as in the attached table follows. Any payment to ASH in respect of activity for 2017-18 will depend upon the outcome of a competitive process to secure support for delivery of the Tobacco Control Plan. The Department’s financial records do not provide the level of detail to confirm whether funding was made under the legal power Section 64 of the Health and Public Services Act 1968 for all of this period. However, local records can confirm only Section 64 has been used since the financial year 2012/13.

NHS Supply Chain services are delivered by a logistics partner DHL, under the management of NHS Business Services Authority. DHL has been upgrading the main logistics IT system across its warehousing network and on 5 October 2015 commenced the upgrade at its warehouse in Rugby. Various technical issues have been encountered and, as a result, DHL has had to implement contingency measures.


Whilst there has been an administrative impact on some National Health Service trusts, we are not aware of any impact on ‘front line services’ in Northamptonshire and the East Midlands – the area served by the Rugby warehouse. DHL has been able to meet requirements from its remaining network and it expects all current issues to be resolved by 23 October 2015. When the issues have been resolved the NHS Business Services Authority will then address any ‘due compensation’ to NHS trusts affected.

The Government’s Mandate to NHS England sets out an ambition to make England one of the most successful countries in Europe at preventing premature deaths from all cancers, including prostate cancer and other cancers which affect men. Cancer indicators in the NHS Outcomes Framework and the Public Health Outcomes Framework will help NHS England to assess progress in improving cancer survival and mortality rates.

The Independent Cancer Taskforce published its report, Achieving World-Class Cancer Outcomes: A Strategy for England 2015-2020, in July this year. NHS England is currently working with partners across the health system to determine how best to take forward the recommendations contained in the strategy.

As part of putting in place a governance structure for delivery of the strategy, NHS England has appointed Cally Palmer as NHS National Cancer Director. She will lead the implementation of the strategy, as well as new cancer vanguards using outcomes-based commissioning to redesign care and patient experience.
