organisations providing care nationally. RS responded that this is a nuance for us, we span different populations & ICS’s as well as having a large proportion of our activities as regional & national. Approximately 85% of our activity is currently funded through specialised commissioning. These are not typical and ways are being explored to see how this can be arranged going forward. SP is on the working group looking at this and the future of specialised commissioning. We need to wait to see what we can do and we are involved in the discussions. Safe – there were no serious incidents (SI’s) and no never events, 1 major incident and 4 moderate incidents all of which are going through process. There are 5 risks over 15, 2 at 20 and 3 at 15. No MRSA and 8 C Diff with no lapses of care. There was 1 case of e-coli post 48 hours and 2 covid nosocomial infections. Responsive – 11 new complaints in month and 40 PALs contacts. Average length of stay was 6.75 days and there were 2 cancelled operations on the day. Access – 18 weeks was 97.8%, slightly down on the previous month. 62 days achieved just over 80% (after validation), 24 days was 82.1% and there were 30 104 day waiters – these were tracked and treated with 24 days.

Turnover rate is at around 15%, this is high.

EL noted that these are across the board and isn’t a particular group. This compares to other organisations as retention nationally shows a heightened figure post covid. HCA staff are leaving and this is a pay question. They can go to non-NHS and get better pay. We are looking at supporting staff, at a living wage and analysing the rich data from exit interviews etc. We are monitoring this very closely. RA asked about CIP and if they will be recurrent. SP noted that a percentage will be non-recurrent. £1.9m will be recurrent and this will be updated monthly. RA asked about audits being closed without being complete.
