CONFIDENTIAL Is Is the the op opti tion cli clinic icall lly sus sustain inable le? RECOMMENDATIONS The analysis shows that: • The current catchment population in east Kent in 15/16 is c.695k (projected population in 20/21 is c.721k). However, many Is it clinically services in EK including pPCI and renal are provided to a population of over 1m which would support a Major Emergency sustainable? Centre with specialist services. People would have to travel long distances to access these services if they were not available in east Kent. Therefore there should be one Major Emergency Centre with specialist services in east Kent serving, as now, a wider Kent & Medway population. • The current catchment population in east Kent in 15/16 is c.695k (projected population in 20/21 is c.721k) which suggests a population is marginally above the catchment required for a single Emergency Centre in east Kent using the Keogh requirement of 500-700k. However, there is sufficient throughput through ED for two Emergency Centres but not three . • There is sufficient catchment population and only a sufficient Acute Physician / HCOOP consultant workforce to provide a Medical Emergency Centre at two sites in east Kent but not three. CONSEQUENCES OF THE RECOMMENDATIONS • Only options where one site is a Major Emergency Centre with specialist services; a maximum of two Emergency Centre sites; and two Medical Emergency Centre sites will go forward to be tested against the next hurdle criterion.

CONFIDENTIAL Is Is the the op opti tion impl plementable le? RECOMMENDATIONS The analysis shows that: • The average timelines for a new build (including funding, planning and implementation), using traditional NHS capital and build routes, rule out the implementability of any options which require significant build on a greenfield site or one site closure and reprovision of accommodation on the remaining acute sites; • The current bed base across all three sites is forecast to reduce by 189 beds by 2020/21. However, it is too costly for acute medical beds to be consolidated onto a single site • Appropriate accommodation on existing sites should be used as much as possible before any new capacity is built CONSEQUENCES OF THE RECOMMENDATIONS 1. Only current sites can be considered due to 20/21 timeframe agreed. Only options with services at current acute sites will go forward to be tested against the next hurdle criterion. 2.

Detailed access and travel analysis has been undertaken in order to test the remaining options against access criteria. The following conclusion was reached: 1. No options fail the access criteria as all remaining options are within the access criterion of an average of 1-hour travel time by car The following slides outline the analysis undertaken to draw this conclusion Note • There is limited information about the standard or guidance on the time (minutes or hours) that a patient must travel as a factor to consider when looking into redesigning the urgent and emergency care services. The 1 hour access criteria used was based on travel time that was tested with the public at the East Kent focused listening events (phase 1) held in February 2017 and was generally supported; and • In addition, the stroke configuration decision support guide recommends that travel time for an urban area should ideally be 30 minutes and no more than 1 hour.

CONFIDENTIAL Is Is the the op opti tion a a str trategic ic fi fit? t? • 2014-19 EKHUFT strategic plan highlights local access to services as a priority in east Kent which is a central theme of the NHS Five Year Forward View. • Future options for changes to services should be aligned with existing commitments, in particular to ensure the continued sustainability of workforce and compliance with Royal College requirements, the central drivers for previous consultations. • Existing commitments have been defined as: Designation processes : Existing sites have a national designation for service provision which has gone through an agreed process Consultations : Ensure that the options taken forward address the reasons underpinning previous consultation, predominantly workforce and Royal College driven. • An analysis was carried out to test the options against these existing commitments and the following conclusions were drawn: 1. A Trauma Unit was located at WHH as part of a national designation process. As per the Keogh model and the clinical Senate recommendations the trauma unit must be part of a Major Emergency Centre with specialist services due to co-dependencies between services. 2. A 24/7 primary PCI centre for the whole of Kent was located at WHH as part of a national designation process. The pPCI centre should ideally be part of a Major Emergency Centre with specialist services due to co-dependencies between services. 3. Previous consultations in east Kent have concentrated on addressing workforce sustainability issues and Royal College requirements. Only options that continue to address these issues will be taken forward as part of this criteria. The following slides outline the analysis undertaken to draw this conclusion. 47

CONFIDENTIAL Th The e 2003 Em Emergency ser services rec econfiguratio ion Several important issues regarding workforce required EK Hospitals to reconfigure clinical services in 2001 and again in 2003. These issues were: • Royal College’s recommendations that the expertise that is needed to treat less common or more complex diseases can only be provided in east Kent if specialties are divided into ‘sub - specialties’ which allow the doctors and other clinical staff to see enough cases to remain expert; • Working time legislation for all staff but especially junior doctors meant doctors would work less hours and clinical areas needed to be staffed 24/7; • Doctors are required to work in teams for their specialty to maintain patient safety; and • A national shortage of skilled nurses, doctors and therapists in some specialties was making recruitment increasingly difficult. For these reasons it was not possible to provide all of the current specialties (especially surgical) on all three sites and some services would need to be consolidated onto fewer sites to allow staff and resources to be maximised, meet national guidelines and deliver high quality services. The following were the core service changes: • A&E at K&CH removed and redesigned as a local Emergency Care Centre (which later (2015) became the GP led Urgent Care Centre and the Acute Medical Unit. The key reason was due to junior doctor training requirements); • A&E Departments were established at WHH and QEQM alongside: • Consultant-led Women's Health services on two sites (WHH and QEQM); • In-patient Paediatrics on two sites (WHH and QEQM); • General and Colorectal surgery on two sites (WHH and QEQM). • Trauma and orthopaedic services on two sites (WHH and QEQM); • The consultations also established a single site specialty service for renal inpatients, head and neck, urology, vascular and Neonatal intensive care unit (NICU) due to volume. • For east Kent, the consultations also established a children’s ambulatory development and assessment centre at K&CH 55 SOURCE east Kent Hospitals Reconfiguration Plan – 2003 Public Consultation Document
CONFIDENTIAL Previ vious con onsult ltatio ion: History ry of of the the de decis ision-makin ing pr process for or east Kent’s two -sit ite Acu cute Inp Inpatie ient Mod odel • East Kent Health Authority - Tomorrow’s Healthcare concluded that it was not possible to retain major and complex services on all three ma in hospital sites. • The Case for Change was developed and criteria established. These were: i. Safety – “when I get there does the service have the right staff and backup to ensure speedy, safe and up to date treatment and to ensure fast recovery?”; ii. Accessibility – “how quickly can I get to the service I need when I need it or how quickly can it get to me?” iii. Viability – “Will the service last or will there be more service changes in a few years’ time?” iv. Affordability – The Health Service must get as much treatment as possible for as many people as possible from the taxpayers’ money. Is the taxpayers’ money being used to best effect?” • A short list of options were assessed using the above criteria. These were: i. Single site at Canterbury ii. Bipolar – Thanet and Ashford iii. Bipolar – Canterbury and Ashford • The Health Authority commissioned Deloitte & Touche to undertake a social and economic impact statement to help inform the Healt h Authority’s final decision. Travel times were identified as particularly important for east Kent’s population but the assessment also considered levels of deprivation, travel by blue light transport, vehicle ownership, demographic spread including age, staffing impact. • Deloitte & Touche’s final report concluded that “the socio -economic analysis indicates the impact of acute hospital services relocation from QEQMH will be greatest”. • A further detailed analysis of travel times was then undertaken by Kingswood Consultants to establish the impact of the proposed options on service accessibility. The main findings from this work were: i. For ‘blue light’ ambulance coverage, is little difference between a Thanet and Ashford and a Canterbury and Ashford option; ii. In rush hour conditions a Thanet and Ashford option gives better coverage than a Canterbury and Ashford option; iii. A Thanet and Ashford option has the least impact on accessibility for those aged over 65, those households without a car and those households which are economically active but unemployed; and iv. For emergency inpatient activity, the option which would have the best accessibility for the majority of specialties is a Thanet and Ashford option.

The preferred option was referred to the then Secretary of State for Health who endorsed the proposals. • Final public consultation undertaken - Modernising Hospital Services in east Kent. All options concentrated acute services (to varying degrees) and full A&E at Ashford and Margate. • Following the consultation, east Kent’s four Primary Care Trusts met and recommended that the future configuration of acute services in east Kent should see: i. acute medical services provided on two sites - William Harvey Hospital (WHH), Ashford, and the Queen Elizabeth the Queen Mother Hospital (QEQM), Margate; ii. elective medicine should be provided on three sites – the WHH, the QEQM and the Kent and Canterbury Hospital (K&CH); iii. other elective services should be provided on three sites – the WHH, the QEQM and the K&CH; iv. K&C should have a diagnostic and treatment centre (DTC). • Two Community Health Councils (CHC) Challenge – the Canterbury and Thanet CHC and the South east Kent CHC – formally objected to the proposals and asked that the matter be referred to the Secretary of State for Health on the grounds of clinical viability, safety and sustainability inadequate bed capacity proposals and inadequate consultation. The Secretary of State for Health then asked for an independent review of the proposals by the Independent Reconfiguration Panel (IRP). • The IRP concluded that the interim proposals (i.e. two A&Es at WHH and QEQMH and an ECC at K&CH) represented the speediest and most efficient means of proceeding in the interest of the people of east Kent. • There was a further challenge around the decision to reduce the provision of services at K&CH.

RECOMMENDATIONS The analysis shows that for options where emergency services are planned on two sites: • All previous analysis undertaken as part of public consultations demonstrates that under a two-site option, QEQMH and WHH provide the greatest accessibility for east Kent residents; • A national designation process for trauma services has already placed the trauma unit at WHH which ideally should be the major emergency centre with specialist services; • The national designation process for K&M pPCI services put the pPCI centre at at WHH which ideally should be major emergency centre with specialist services; • The clinical co-dependencies recommended as part of the Keogh review and the work commissioned from the South East Coast Clinical Senate support that the WHH should be the MEC with specialist services under a two-site solution for east Kent; • Given this analysis the hurdle criteria would place the MEC at WHH and either an EC or MedEC at QEQM. The first hurdle criteria has already ruled out a third EC or MEC and therefore K&CH cannot be a MedEC or a MEC. CONSEQUENCES OF THE RECOMMENDATIONS The only two-site options taken forward to be tested against the next hurdle criteria will be where WHH is the Major emergency centre with specialist services. Under this two site option: • QEQM could either be an Emergency centre (EC)and/or a Medical emergency centre (MedEC); • K&CH would always be an integrated care hospital (ICH)/Urgent care centre (UCC).

CONFIDENTIAL Is Is the the op opti tion fi financially ly via viable? RECOMMENDATIONS The analysis shows that: • It is assumed that the overall revenue costs (excluding revenue costs of capital) of consolidation is not a differentiating factor between options at the hurdle criteria stage. Therefore only the impact on capital costs is analysed further at this stage. • The remaining options being tested are QEQM as an Emergency Centre or Medical Emergency Centre. – Options where QEQM is a Medical Emergency Centre results in high levels of flows to WHH (136 beds and 92 beds in the two previous slides) and the cost of capital for these options will be excessive. – QEQM must therefore be an Emergency Centre (and Medical Emergency Centre) under a two-site option. CONSEQUENCES OF THE RECOMMENDATIONS • Under a two-site option, QEQM is an Emergency Centre under all options. • Further work needs to be undertaken regarding the use of K&CH as ICH /UCC.

CONFIDENTIAL In Intr troductio ion of of a a si single le si site de developer r op opti tion at t K& K&CH • The hurdle criteria evaluation eliminates the option to create a single site on an existing site or on a green field site due to this option failing the “implementable” criteria. The key reasons are the capital cost would be too high and the timeline for delivery w ould be too long. • In the summer of 2017, proposals for Canterbury were received from a developer. The proposal was explored with Deloitte’s to understand high level viability. • The proposal included a fully serviced new shell building of around 450,000 sq ft (subject to further review, discussion and confirmation) attached to the Canterbury Hospital site with appropriate access and associated car parking for around 600 spaces. • The building shell, car parking and associated infrastructure would be constructed and given to the Hospitals trust at nil cost at the outset. The Trust would not need to give up any of its existing land in order to facilitate the proposal. • The proposal requires approval of additional housing as this would help fund the hospital development. • The offer from the developer would significantly reduce the cost to the NHS of creating a single site solution to such an extent that we believe it requires in depth evaluation. Furthermore, the timescales that have been put forward by the developer would mean that a single site option could be delivered within the timescales of the STP • This proposal from the developer represents an opportunity to establish a major emergency centre with more specialist services at Canterbury and would see services consolidated at this site from the Queen Elizabeth the Queen Mother hospital at Thanet and the William Harvey hospital at Ashford (with these hospitals no longer providing acute emergency care). • This proposal was not included in the long list of options as it was not known prior to August 2017. • Amending the hurdle criteria or the process that has been used to apply them is not appropriate and would undermine the work undertaken to date. • Whilst the proposal sits outside of the process undertaken to date, due to the materiality of the development, and in recognition of the feedback received through engagement activities, it would be unreasonable not to consider the developer’s proposal. • The proposal from the developer will be considered as an additional option and will be taken into account alongside the option that comes out of the application of the hurdle criteria. The proposal received from the developer is a material, unforeseen development that could not have been anticipated. Due to it being an unforeseen development it was not possible to take account of this within the application of the hurdle criteria that has already been undertaken. 72

CONFIDENTIAL CCG Discussio ion We have discussed Elective Orthopaedics with CCGs (September 2017) and they have agreed that the model of care can be taken forward through the hurdle criteria to the next stage and assessed against the evaluation criteria. A number of points have been raised and work has already commenced to address these. See appendix 2. The future elective model will be set within the context of the wider transformation programme underpinned by a focus on prevention and self-care and the benefit of a community-led musculoskeletal (MSK) pathway, which is part of the local care work stream. The Kent MSK strategy sets out an approach to reduce elective activity by 25%. These plans include: – Developing a single point of access; – exploring the use of care coordinators; – to triage and signpost patients to the appropriate place for first time treatments; – recruiting and training Extended Scope Practitioners (ESP) to support local primary care teams in assessments and making referrals; – developing a workforce plan and provide tailored training to practitioners at an STP level to ensure sustainability in service provision; – providing treatment / surgery information for patients to understand their conditions and options and to manage their expectations; – to avoid last minute surgery cancellation; – share resources / facilities within the STP network e.g. group treatments / information sessions, etc; – to create productivity savings; and – map the distribution of resources and expertise in the STP e.g. GPs with specialist interest. 77
CONFIDENTIAL Cas ase for or ch change for or ele electiv ive ort orthopaedic ic sur surgic ical l ser servic ices The Trust has larger numbers of patients waiting longer, in pain, than ever before. In the last four years the elective orthopaedic waiting list has increased by 75%. Despite extra resources being provided this list continues to grow on a monthly basis. The number of patients waiting in excess of 35 weeks has grown by 50% in last two years. There is a range of guidance from the National Institute for Care and Health Excellence (NICE), the British Orthopaedics Association (BOA) and other advisory bodies, recommending the separation of elective and non-elective surgery and outlining the link between volume and outcomes. Similarly, the separation of pathways for emergency and elective surgery is supported by a number of bodies, including the Royal College of Surgeons. It is suggested that this separation can result in: • earlier investigation; • definitive treatment; • better continuity of care; • Reduction in hospital-acquired infections; and • Reduction in length of stay (LoS) 1. South East Coast Clinical Senate – recommendations show that elective units undertaking more than 3,000 joint procedures would enable delivery of the standards and improvements to the service. In 2015/16, the Trust undertook 3,675 elective inpatient procedures and outsourced a further 743 elective inpatient procedures giving a total of 4,418 procedures. Out of this, 3,060 procedures related to joint surgery (shoulder, knee, elbow, hip, etc). National guidance, including the 5-year forward view, supports the segregation of elective and trauma services A cold elective inpatient elective orthopaedic centre would improve theatre productivity and utilisation. For example: • South West London elective orthopaedic centre’s ( SWLEOC) average theatre time is 24% shorter than the Trusts • SWLEOC achieves 95% theatre utilisation (2008/09). EKHUFT is currently achieving 85%. • National evidence indicates complications and the need for revisions would reduce. • Earlier access to rehabilitation and specialist support services so rehabilitation services can be concentrated onto one site thus enabling the drive towards a 7 day service.

CONFIDENTIAL Case ase for ch change for ele lective ort orthopaedic ic su surgical se services The increasing demand for elective orthopaedic surgery in East Kent is being driven by a number of factors including: • Increasing demographics driven demand: ➢ High elderly population in east Kent - over 60’s are +29% of the total population; and ➢ Thanet – over 68% of people in the district overweight or obese. • Increasing demand for trauma services ➢ Elective theatre schedules frequently disrupted by trauma patients; ➢ Past three years has seen a fourfold increase in patients cancelled on day of operation: In January 2017, 31 last minute cancellations which was roughly the same as the whole of 2013; and ➢ Substantial evidence show that surgeons need to operate on a minimum number of patients per year to improve quality and patient outcomes.

CONFIDENTIAL Scope of of el electiv ive ort orthopaedic ic ser servic ices revi view and and rec econfig iguratio ion in n ea east t Ken ent An Elective orthopaedic surgical service comprises of inpatient surgery, day case surgical activity and outpatients. Elective orthopaedic services discussed in this paper will only refer to inpatient services and not day case surgery or outpatient appointments as these services will continue to be delivered from their current locations. The scope of this review is focused on inpatient activity for the following reasons: Day case activity is currently under taken on all 3 of the acute sites in east Kent and is not reliant on bed • availability as it is delivered from dedicated day case units. A reduction in sites offering day surgery would require further capital expenditure on new theatres to be • built. Continuing to provide day case activity as locally as is possible would be advantageous to the local • communities and in line with the 5 year forward view.

This is supported by the South East Coast Clinical Senate recommendations. • A single elective orthopaedic centre in Kent & Medway it would undertake 9,000 plus in-patient procedures per year. This would make it almost twice the size of the current largest elective orthopaedic centre in the country. It would require large numbers of beds and theatres to be invested in and would mean that approximately 45,000 of east Kent’s population would be outside of the 60 minute travel time.
