Welcome & Introduction
1. Welcome and Apologies SB welcomed members, both voting and non-voting, to the meeting in public of the Primary Care Commissioning Committee (PCCC). Apologies were noted as detailed above.
2. Register of Declared of Interest The Register of Interest was agreed as a correct and accurate record.

DW confirmed that he was no longer the Chair of the patient reference group but had been co-opted as a member. The register of declared interests would be amended to reflect this change. RD confirmed that she was a partner at the Cheam Family Practice.
JW
3. Minutes of previous meeting The minutes of the Sutton CCG PCCC meeting held on 1 November 2017 were agreed as an accurate record.
4. Matters Arising Action Log It was noted that the action log would be updated and submitted to the next meeting of the PCCC with a number of items being covered elsewhere on the agenda. Quality Primary Care Indicators It was noted that the first meeting of the Primary Care Clinical Quality Review Group had been held with a report being presented to the next meeting of the PCCC. Extended Access Performance It was noted that a text messaging solution had been ordered which would then be implemented. A meeting had been arranged to look at equity across practices. LN also reported that a direct booking system via 111 was being considered which would be piloted by a number of practices before being rolled out.
SH
For Approval
5. Primary Care Strategy SH introduced the strategy for primary care commissioning in Sutton which the PCCC had seen previously during its development and was now finalised for approval. The strategy had been discussed at all three locality meetings and the London Borough of Sutton Scrutiny Committee who support the direction of travel. The strategy was also presented at the Patient Reference Group. SH confirmed that the implementation plan would be updated regularly and reported back to the PCCC. It was acknowledged that there was a need to ensure changes were in-bedded across whole system to ensure the benefits were achieved. It was suggested that an item for the next seminar of the PCCC should be to discuss implementation areas and priorities. SH agreed to discuss this with SB and SG outside of the meeting. Members of the committee raised the following key points:
SH
EN

Page 8 of 51
Page 3 of 9
• The need for key performance indicators (KPIs) behind some of the outcomes to understand what had been achieved.
• The need to ensure regular engagement with secondary care especially in relation to the impact on referral patterns.
• The need to engage with the Sutton Health & Care Transformation Board.
• If approved, the Old Court House to be included within the implementation plan regarding premises development.
• The need to ensure better communication between primary and secondary care.
• To ensure Quality Alerts provide good quality feedback and assurance.
LW confirmed that there was some new funding for 18/19 to support the Primary Care Strategy but was a limited amount across SW London. A business case would need to be developed by the Primary Care Team to secure any funding and include three key elements:
• Service components
• Programme costs
• Provider development. RECOMMENDATION The PCCC APPROVED the Primary Care Strategy prior to submission to the Governing Body meeting in March to note for information.
6. Old Court House Development Business Case LN presented the Old Court House development business case which had now been amended following the discussion and queries raised at the recent PCCC seminar. It was noted that the Practice’s preferred option is to reconfigure the
current surgery and expand into the void space to improve patient flow
within the building and create five additional clinical rooms. This
would create sufficient capacity on the site to accommodate all
patients plus expansion space for significant numbers of new patient
registrations, allowing them to close their branch surgery at Robin
Hood Health Centre.
By operating on one site only, the practice would be more efficient and
this would support long term resilience for the practice.
By vacating Robin Hood Health Centre, this would create the
opportunity to reconfigure the space to bring more of the ground floor
into clinical use, and hence provide additional clinical capacity for new
registrations on that site for Dr Seyan’s practice.
The solutions presented in the business case provide increased primary care capacity in Central Sutton which would meet the needs of the growing population.

The following key points were raised and discussed by members of the PCCC:
• There was a clear strategy in place in inform and engage patients of the proposed changes including patient letters, practice newsletters, newspaper articles , meetings etc.
• Planning permission was currently in place but was time limited before it expired. It was estimated that the construction and build would take approximately nine months.
• It was confirmed that the finance team had been involved and confirmed that the business case aligns with the Primary Care Strategy and Value for Money (VFM).
• It was important for the CCG that practice growth takes place as key component for the Primary Care strategy in Sutton.
• The need to ensure other practices are not disadvantaged and ensure communication is clear in relation to the options for patients.
• It was confirmed that during construction there would be limited disruption to patient services due to the two sites.
RECOMMENDATION The PCCC APPROVED the business case subject to:
• Value For Money recommendation and Valuation by the
District Valuer
• Agreement of Heads of Terms between the landlord and
the tenant
7. Well Court and James O’Riordan Practice Merger Business Case LJ attended the meeting and introduced the Well Court and James O’Riordan Practice Merger Business Case. LJ informed the PCCC that the Well Court Surgery has submitted a
business case to merge with James O’Riordan Medical Centre, which
is a Merton CCG practice, with the merged practice becoming a
Sutton CCG practice. The practices are 0.6 miles apart, on the same
road and the same bus routes.
The business case provided details of the benefits for patients and for
the resilience of the combined practice. The proposal was for all staff
and patients from Well Court Surgery (2290 patients) to move to the
James O’Riordan Medical Centre (6870 patients), which is a relatively
new purpose built health centre with good patient facilities and the
capacity to accommodate the combined list size of approximately
9,000 patients.
LJ stated that it was important to note that because the merged
Practice would be a Sutton CCG Practice, the responsible
commissioner for all the patients would be Sutton CCG with Sutton
CCG meeting the NHS health care costs of these patients.
EN

Page 10 of 51
Page 5 of 9
There are patient and business benefits anticipated from the merger,
however the transfer of nearly 7,000 patients from Merton CCG to
Sutton CCG cannot be approved without an appropriate transfer of
resources. CCG allocations are not automatically updated for such
transfers.
Key points raised and noted by the PCCC included:
• More work needed to be undertaken regarding the transfer from Merton to Sutton CCG including the totality of the budget to be transferred. A meeting had been arranged to talk through the mechanics.
• It was noted that there may be an issue around community services as Merton and Sutton CCG have different block contracts.
• It was confirmed that the expectation was that the practice would cover the cost of the merger however the CCG would be responsible for the IT costs and possibly some other areas including communications.
• The need to understand the timing of the merger in relation to the PMS contract and the Sutton KPIs.
• The need to ensure the practice is not financial penalised regarding the merger and the move from Merton to Sutton.
. RECOMMENDATION
The PCCC APPROVED IN PRINCIPLE the business case subject
to:
• Due diligence on the full implications of the transfer of
James O’Riordan Medical Centre’s registered patients
from Merton CCG to Sutton CCG
• Agreement with Merton CCG over resource transfer and
commissioning arrangements for the c7000 patients
currently registered at James O’Riordan Medical Centre.
Additionally, the PCCC DELEGATED APPROVAL of the
agreement with Merton CCG over resource transfer and
commissioning arrangements to the Executive Committee
For Discussion
8. Community Education Providers Network (CEPN) Annual Review
2017/18
CR introduced India Peach (IP), CEPN Project Manager, who
attended the PCCC to provide members with an update on work
undertaken by the CEPN since July 2017.
IP introduced the paper which provided an update on the development
and progress of the Sutton Community Education Provider Network
(CEPN). The document outlines three phases of the CEPNs progress
since July 2017, and the planned next steps.

CEPNs are responsible for the coordination of training and allocation
of CPPD funding for the primary care workforce. Also tasked with
increasing capacity within general practice – developing (piloting) new
roles, coordinating placements etc, workforce planning and reporting
to HEE. CEPNs are funded by and ultimately accountable to HEE.
Three pots of money:
• Operating costs (pay for resources to deliver the work)
• In-direct – money goes straight to the HEIs (specifically identified by HEEsL), and then we commission training via an online portal.
• Direct - cash pot held within the CEPN. We can decide how this is spent – does not have to be with specified HEIs.
Key highlights:
• Re-established the steering group, which meets every six weeks. ToR has been written and signed off.
• Education commissioning framework has been developed, signed off and shared with practices.
• CEPN newsletter developed and circulated every two months. This is also uploaded to GP Teamnet.
• Insight Solutions have been commissioned to deliver ‘Managing Clinical Correspondence’ training using GPFV funding from NHSE. 11 practices signed up so far.
• Final draft is being prepared for the first multi-professional Protected Learning Time event, which will have a Mental Health focus. This is planned for May/June 2018 and a second one will run in October.
• Next steps include developing a 2018/19 Operating Plan, undertaking a training needs analysis across practices, finalising and disseminating details of the PLTs and attending local school fairs to promote career opportunities in Primary Care.
RECOMMENDATION The PCCC NOTED the progress to date.
9. General Practice Nursing 10 Action Points Plan KS introduced a paper which provided an update of activities occurring against the General Practice Nursing 10 point plan. It was noted that the work was being delivered through the Sutton Community Education Provider Network as item 8 above. Members of the PCCC requested regular updates relating to the total spend for CEPN, the course available and attendance rates. RECOMMENDATION The PCCC NOTED the progress to date.
SH
10. Primary Care Finance Report GP presented the M08 finance report.
EN

Page 12 of 51
Page 7 of 9
This covered the eight months to end November 2017 and full year 201718 forecast. The report included the report on the core GP contract and a number of other primary care budgets as requested by the Committee.
The overall message is that expenditure is in line with budget for both core and other primary care budgets. Year to date and forecast core contract spend is in line with budget (full year £25.6 million). There are some small in year overspends and 1617 brought forward costs but these are offset by in year underspends and the list size increase reserve.
Other primary care services spend is also in line with budgets. These include local contracted services (£1.1 m), GP out of hours (£1.4 m), GPIT (£412k) and GP access (£308k) but there are a number of other budgets per the schedule also in line with budget.
GP also reported that following a bid to the central NHSE ETTF fund, The CCG was confident it would receive funding to support the Hackbridge, South Sutton and Central Sutton estates projects totalling just under £500k. RECOMMENDATION The PCCC noted the update.
11. Primary Care Risk Register The PCCC received the Primary Care Risk Register which highlighted the current risks to the CCG around Primary Care Commissioning. It was noted that there had been no changes since the last report at the November meeting. LW informed the PCCC that it was proposed to review the Board Assurance Framework prior to the next PCCC meeting in March. RECOMMENDATION The PCCC noted the register.
For Ratification
12. Contract Variation – Bishopsford Road Surgery CR presented a paper following a request by the Bishopsford Road
Practice for the following contract change:
• GP partner, Dr Gupta, to leave the partnership
• Dr Anita Somalanka to join the partnership
It was noted that NHS England had made the required checks on Dr
Somalanka.

Page 8 of 9
CR stressed that due to the timing of meetings, the PCCC had
approved this request at the seminar meeting in December 2017, but
needed to be formally ratified by the Committee in public.
RECOMMENDATION
The PCCC RATIFIED the decision made to approve this contract
variation.
For Note
13. PMS Contract update It was noted that all practices in Sutton returned their signed contract subject to one which had the intention to sign once an issue around IT has been resolved. In relation to the one GMS practice it was felt positive that the contact would be signed.
14. Primary Care Operational Management Group Report The PCCC noted the report for information only.
15. Primary Care Transformation update The PCCC noted the update for information only.
16. Forward Plan It was agreed to include the Primary Care Operational Management Group to the forward plan going forward.

Primary Care Quality Surveillance Group (QSG)
Terms of Reference
1) Introduction The single common definition of quality for the NHS encompasses three dimensions: clinical effectiveness, patient safety and patient experience. Quality should be at the centre of all discussions with providers to achieve the best possible health outcomes for patients. The commissioning of General Practice has been delegated to the CCG by NHS England (NHSE) from 1st April 2016. Core contracts are currently held with individual GP practices in the form of PMS or GMS contracts as well as additional locally contracted services (previously Local Enhanced Services). This responsibility means there needs to be an overarching, unified approach to monitoring, reviewing and improving quality across primary care, to ensure all the services commissioned in primary care are delivered to the same high level. 2) Objectives To monitor nationally and locally set quality standards with regard to Sutton GP Practice contracts. To ensure that appropriate mechanisms are in place to monitor and hold Practices to account for contractual requirements around clinical quality and safety of service. To be the primary commissioner / provider forum for addressing issues that have the potential to negatively affect clinical outcomes for patients and to ensure continuous improvement of services. 3) Scope and Authority The focus of the Primary Care Quality Surveillance Group (QSG) will be the delivery of the GP Practice contracts commissioned under the remit of the CCG. Additional local contracts may feed in to this group but will be managed in a separate forum. Individual clinician performer issues will be managed by NHSE. The Primary Care QSG is not responsible for reviewing services contracted by other commissioners, such as the Local Authority, however matters of concern may be raised with the appropriate commissioners should they arise. Should any aspect of service quality not be achieved, the Primary Care QSG will be responsible for agreeing the actions required to address this. The following items should be regularly reviewed:
• Significant incidents and events
• Performance Reports (NHSE, CCG and PMS KPIs)

• Alerts from other care providers about GP Services Each meeting will have a theme around one aspect of quality to allow deeper analysis. 4) Duties To receive and analyse information relating to patient safety, clinical effectiveness and patient experience to gain assurance on the quality of care and clinical outcomes for patients. Where commissioners are not assured, Primary Care QSG members will discuss and agree action plans with the Primary Care commissioning team, who will work with the practice to address quality concerns. This will be fed into the Primary Care Commissioning Committee and if there is an immediate quality concern this would be escalated to the Quality Committee. To monitor progress against action plans related to service development or improvement plans.

Title of Document: Update on payments in respect of locum cover for
GP performers on parental or sickness leave
Purpose of Report:
For note and agreement
Report Authors:
William Cunningham-Davis,
Deputy Director of Primary Care, NHSE London
Lead Director:
Clare Wilson, Deputy
Managing Director
Executive Summary:
The paper is to highlight how the 2017-18 National GMS contract changes agreement in relation to providing financial assistance for practices in respect of locum cover impacted on the cost reimbursed for each claim made.
From 2013 until March 2017 the interim London Locum Reimbursement Policy was in place which was then replaced by the Protocol issued by NHS England. With the introduction of the protocol in April 2017 it has meant that previous criteria for assessing claims cannot now be applied so more claims will meet the reduced criteria and the reimbursement for each claim will increase as previous rules for reimbursement are not so stringent. Also, locum reimbursement for covering sickness leave is an entitlement and the commissioners must provide financial assistance to GP practices.
The key changes are: - Pro-rata of payment is no longer allowed
- The remaining GP vs patient ratio criteria for sickness leave cover applications
has been removed
- GP performer’s and Practices insurance claims are not taken into account
- It is no longer a requirement that the GP performer in leave should be in
receipt of their full salary during their sickness or parental leave
- The maximum payable amount per week for sickness leave cover has
increased from £1,131.74 to £1,734.18

Page 2 of 2
Whilst the number of claims received in 2017-18 are not significantly higher than
previous years the changes above resulted a significant increase of the amount paid
for locum reimbursement.
Commissioners now have limited discretionary powers in relation to locum
reimbursement applications. Discretionary payments can be agreed for parental leave
longer than 26 weeks*, sickness leave longer than 52 weeks, applications relating to
previous financial years and financial support for GPs returning to work on phased
return. The CCG’s PCCC will be required to make decisions in relation to these
cases.
NHS England’s London Region Team have been working with the National team on
clarification of areas in the Protocol this has now been completed. The Team will be
issuing an FAQ to CCG’s for information and to GP practices to clarify the payment
process for locum reimbursement applications.
*there is a discrepancy between the protocol and the statutory entitlements. This is being clarified with NHS
England.
Key sections for particular note (paragraph/page), areas of concern etc:
Recommendation(s):
The Committee are asked to
• NOTE these changes and agree to receive requests and to make decisions on
cases when required about discretionary financial support element.

Update on payments in respect of locum cover for GP performers
on parental or sickness leave
Introduction
The paper is to highlight how the 2017-18 GMS contract changes agreement in relation to
providing financial assistance for practices in respect of locum cover impacted on the cost
reimbursed for each claim made.
Background
NHS England and GPC England have agreed a number of changes to the arrangements for
making payments in relation to locum cover for a GP Performer’s absence which is due to
sickness or parental leave. Following the announcement of the 2017-18 GMS contract
changes NHS England issued a protocol in respect of locum cover for GP performer
payments for parental and sickness leave (The Protocol) which was embedded in the NHS
England Primary Care Policy and Guidance1 document published in November 2017. For
ease, reference to the “Protocol” will be used throughout this document. All Locum
reimbursement claims submitted since 01st April 2017 have been processed in accordance
with the principles included in the protocol.
What has changed
With the introduction of the protocol in April 2017 it has meant that previous criteria for
assessing claims cannot now be applied so more claims will meet the reduced criteria and
the reimbursement for each claim will increase as previous rules for reimbursement are not
so stringent.
For instance;
Maternity Claims
The main difference in the arrangements is that payments are not reflective of the GP’s
contractual arrangements e.g. 8 weeks full pay, 14 weeks half pay and 4 weeks SMP.
Previously the reimbursement would have been made by reflecting the 8 weeks full pay and
14 weeks half pay. No reimbursement would have been made for week 23 to 26. Under the
new arrangements the reimbursement is due for the full 26 weeks at the lesser of actual
invoice costs or maximum payable per week.
Sickness Claims
The criteria that considered the remaining patient to GP ratio has been excluded in the new
protocol along with the pro rata to the contractual arrangement for full and half pay across
the weeks of the claim, this means more claims are meeting the criteria set and payments
increased.
For the full comparison of changes please refer to Appendix 1.
For worked up examples of how these changes impacted the payment please refer to
Appendix 2.

The tables represent a very raw comparison of the cost per claim in 2017-18 compared to 2016-17. This is only an indicative indicator as not all claims would have been paid in full within any one financial year so a straight division of costs by number of claims would only provide an indicative value. Paternal Claims: This shows that overall the number of paternal claims has slightly increased between the two years for Sutton CCG but that the cost of each claim has increased. This reflects the policy changes where payment will now be made up to week 26 and will not be reduced reflecting the contractual payment to the doctor on leave. If the claim is for the maximum payable for 26 weeks the total reimbursement will be £43,883.80 but average claim costs are presently approximately £26,106. This reflects where actual claims are lower than the maximum value per week due to the number of sessions claimed as the doctor on leave is employed for part time only. Historically reimbursement could have been made up to week 52 reflecting the contractual arrangements of the doctor on leave so prior year’s average costs would of reflected this increased number of weeks claimed. Sickness Claims: Average costs of sickness claims will be variable depending on the length of the sickness claim made. The data implies that the number of claims qualifying for reimbursement has risen between the two years reflecting the change in qualifying criteria. Across SWL the average cost of a claim has increased implying that the number of weeks per claim has increased and reflect where contractual arrangements are no longer taken into consideration.

What discretionary powers Commissioners have? Maternity leave: potentially payments for 27 – 52 are discretionary. However, it depends what the GP Performer’s maternity leave entitlement is. By statute they are entitled to up to 52 weeks maternity leave and if the contract of employment states they are entitled to 52 weeks commissioner are required to pay up to 52 weeks. Sickness leave: if a GP performer is off sick longer than 52 weeks it is at the Commissioners discretion to provide further financial assistance. Claims relating previous financial years: a number of claims relating to 2016 – 17 were received after April 2017. These are not normally considered unless exceptional circumstances involved so a number of them will have been rejected. However, practice may wish to appeal the decision and the CCG’s Primary Care Commissioning Committee (PCCC) will be required to make a decision about claims relating to previous years that have been rejected. This would only apply to claims that would have been eligible for locum reimbursement under the London policy. A number of late claims were considered when a practice had provided satisfactory explanation as why they submitted their application for locum reimbursement late but those were not approved due to not meeting the eligibility criteria.
GPs returning on phased return: there is no provision for phased return payments or for non-clinical sessions provided by the GP who is on sick leave. However, each CCGs may agree to provide financial assistance at their discretion.
Governance The South West London Primary Care Team processes locum claims as business as usual. This is agreed by STPs as part of the London Operating Model for Primary Care. When decision is required from Commissioners details of the claim will be shared with the Primary Care Operational Group or relevant and the Primary Care Commissioning Committee will be asked to make a decision. If, any case a dispute arises following the PCCC’s decision it may be referred by the
contractor as a dispute arising out of or in connection with the contractor’s contract (i.e. via a
referral to the FHSAU or, if appropriate, the civil courts).
Status
• A comprehensive FAQ document is being prepared by NHS England London Region. The purpose of the document to clarify how the Protocol applies to practices and Commissioners.
• The FAQ will be shared with all 3 LMCs covering London and with NHS England National Team
• The FAQ will be published in April 2018

Appendix 1 – What has changed
Comparison table of changes between the London Locum Reimbursement Policy and
the NHS England Protocol
Pre-April 2017 After April 2017 All applications had to be approved prior to claim. Late applications were only processed under exceptional circumstances.
Any applications received after 01st April 2017 and relating to the 2017-18 financial year are to be processed in line with the Protocol.
For sickness leave applications there was eligibility criteria based on the number of remaining GP and registered patient ratio. Based on this criteria a number of applications were rejected before April 2017.
This assessment criteria deemed to be outdated and was removed as part of the GMS contract negotiations. Payment for sickness leave is no longer discretionary but an entitlement. Although, there is no provision for reimbursement for GPs returning on a phased return.
If the practice or the practitioner had an insurance policy and received payment from the Insurance Company in relation to the GP Performer’s sickness or maternity leave the amount was deducted from the reimbursement Commissioners made to the practice.
The NHS England National Team advised that practitioners private and practice insurance should not be taken into account. It has been brought to our attention that some Insurance Firms already advising practices that sickness cover is now paid by NHS England.
The Statement of Financial Entitlements (SFE) sets out the maximum amount of reimbursement for a GP performer providing cover as follows: (either the cost of locum cover of the max available amount whichever is lower) Sickness leave: £1,131.74 per week (after week one) up to 26 weeks and half pay for week 27-52 taking into account any previous episodes of sickness within the last 12 months Maternity leave: £1,131.74 for weeks 1- 2 £1,734.18 thereafter potentially up to 52 weeks depending the terms and conditions of the practitioner’s Contract of Employment or Partnership Agreement Paternity leave: £1,131.74 per week (two weeks)
The Statement of Financial Entitlements (SFE) sets out the maximum amount of reimbursement for a GP performer providing cover as follows: (either the cost of locum cover of the max available amount whichever is lower) Sickness leave: £1,734.18 per week for week 3-28 and half of that thereafter up to 52 weeks taking into account any previous episodes of sickness within the last 12 months. That is potentially £600.00 increase per week. Maternity leave: no changes Paternity leave: no changes
The maximum available weekly amount was paid for a 1.0 WTE practitioner. For part time GP performers parental or sickness leave the payment was pro-rata
Payments cannot be made on a pro-rata basis having regard to the absent performer’s working pattern, and are the lower of actual invoiced costs or maximum amount.
GP Performers should be in receipt of their full salary during their parental or sickness leave. If this criteria was not met the payment was adjusted accordingly or stopped. (Please see examples in the document)
Under the new guidance GP performers salary entitlements have no regards to the payment rates. For instance, if the GP is only entitled to SMP during their maternity leave the practice can claim for reimbursement for the locum cost occurred.

Appendix 2: Case Study to represent the impact of the revised protocol arrangements
Maternity:
A Doctor is planning to take maternity leave for 52 weeks. They are contracted for 7 clinical
sessions per week and their contract states they are entitled to 8 weeks full pay, 14 weeks
half pay and 4 weeks SMP after which they can take unpaid leave.
Pre-Revised Protocol:
Reimbursement would have been made for 22 weeks. Payment would be made on
reimbursement of the lesser amount of the actual costs incurred or the maximum payable
per week. The first 8 weeks would be at full reimbursement dropping to 50% of the total for
weeks 9 to 22.
Assuming 7 sessions would mean the maximum payable is reached each week the cost of
reimbursement would have been:
Week 1 & 2 = £1131.74 * 2 = £2,263.48 Week 3 to 8 = £1734.18 * 6 = £10,405.08 Week 9 to 22 = £1734.18 * 14 * 50% = £12,139.26 Total reimbursement due = £24,807.82
Post Revised Protocol:
Reimbursement will be made for the full 26 weeks at the maximum per week Week 1 & 2 = £1131.74 * 2 = £2,263.48 Week 3 to 26 = £1734.18 * 24 = £41,620.32 Total Reimbursement due = £43,883.80
Impact of revised policy = £19,075.98
Sickness:
A Doctor is signed off on sickness leave for 52 weeks. They are contracted for 7 clinical
sessions per week and their contract states they are entitled to 3 months full pay and 3
months half pay (26 weeks total)
Pre-Revised Protocol:
Assuming the claim met the requirement pre-revised protocol then the following
reimbursement would have been made (e.g. Number of patients per remaining GP)
Reimbursement would have been made for 26 weeks. Payment would be made on
reimbursement of the lesser amount of the actual costs incurred or the maximum payable
per week. The first 13 weeks would be at full reimbursement dropping to 50% of the total for
weeks 14 to 26.
Page 33 of 51
7
Assuming 7 sessions would mean the maximum payable is reached each week the cost of
reimbursement would have been:
Week 1 to 13 = £1131.74 * 13 = £14,712.62 Week 13 to 26 = £1131.74 * 13 * 50% = £7,356.31 Total reimbursement due = £22,068.93
Post Revised Protocol:
Reimbursement will be made for the full 26 weeks at the maximum per week Week 1 & 2 = No reimbursement to be made = £0 Week 3 to 28 = £1734.18 * 26 = £45,088.68 Week 29 to 54 = £1734.18 * 26 * 50% = £22,544.34 Total Reimbursement due = £67,633.02 Impact of revised policy = £45,564.09

Executive Summary:
Financial position - 10 Months to 31 January 2018 and full year forecast
Overview:
The financial position for primary care services for the ten months to 31 January and full year
forecast is in line with budget.
There are some relatively small overspend and underspends.
These budgets cover the core GP contract and other primary care budgets such as primary
care developments, locally commissioned services and the out of hours service.
Core 2017/18 Practice budgets:
The expenditure budget was based on contractual commitments and to meet all known and
anticipated costs. The budget includes an allowance for both demographic growth (based on
historic government forecasts for 2017-18 population growth) and a 2% increase for
premises cost.
Whilst there is no specific QIPP target included in budgets, the CCG is expected to benefit
from the continued renegotiation of local authority rateable values being undertaken
nationally.
A breakdown is given in appendix 1.

Report to the Sutton Clinical Commissioning Group
Primary Care Commissioning Committee
Date of Meeting: 14th March 2018
Agenda No: 9 ENCLOSURE: 07
Title of Document:
Primary Care Commissioning Committee
Risk Register
Purpose of Report: For Review
Report Authors: Chux Ebenezer,
Corporate Assurance and Risk Manager,
NEL CSU
Lead Director:
Clare Wilson
Deputy Chief Operating Officer
Executive Summary:
This document highlights current risks to the CCG around Primary Care
Commissioning.
The Risk Register shows any gaps in services and sets out the mitigations and
actions to minimise these risks.
The PCCC Risk Register continues to be reviewed in line with the Strategic
Objectives of the CCG.
All Risks have been updated for Feb 2018
Key issues to note are:
The Corporate Assurance and Risk Manager recommends a unitary consensus on
all PCCC Risks scores and target risk score.
This ensures that all internal controls, management assurance and action plans are
commensurate with the risk score.
A Risk Matrix is attached for critical analysis of individual risks scores.
Changes to the Risk Register:
Escalation of risks from the Quality Committee Risk Register to the Board Assurance Framework No risks have been escalated from the Corporate Risk Register.
