Has any local provider been subject to any enforcement
action by the CQC?
Performance Update:
NEAS
The CQC published their report on 26.04.14 following their inspection visit to the Trust in February 2014. The CQC found that 4 of the 6
standards inspected were not being met and enforcement action has been issued against the Trust. The areas of concern identified by the CQC
are as follows:
•
•
•
•
Management of Medicines – the CQC found that medicines, other than controlled drugs, were not always stored safely. Medications
requiring refrigeration were not always stored properly and securely, fridge temperatures not maintained and stored in vehicles at room
temperature. The CQC judged that this has minor impact on people who use the services and advised the Trust that action is required.
Requirement Relating to Workers – the CQC found that since 2009 effective recruitment procedures have not been in place and as a
result DBS checks had not been carried out on staff at time of employment or on a rolling basis. The CQC were reassured by the recovery
plan and actions in place which was on target for completion by the Trust in April. The CQC judged this moderate impact on people who
use the services and issued enforcement action to the Trust. The Trust is also required to provide weekly updates on progress until the
recovery plan has reached a conclusion.
Supporting Workers – the CQC found that a significant number of staff had not received one to one supervision sessions. The CQC
judged this to have minor impact on people who use the services and advised the Trust that action is required.
Accessing and monitoring the quality of service provision – the CQC found that there was no effective governance process in place to
monitor/oversee the complaints system and ensure that all complaints were dealt with in a timely manner in line with Trust policy. A
shortfall in availability of investigating officers was also identified. The CQC judged that this had a moderate impact on people who use the
service and advised the Trust that action is required.
Remedial actions:
NEAS
The CQC findings will be discussed at the next NEAS CQRG in May 2014.

Exception Report QER03 – Mortality (SHMI)
CCG

CHSFT
NTHFT
NEAS
TEVW
Has any provider been identified as a 'negative outlier'
on SHMI?
Performance Update:
The North of England Quality Dashboard March 2014 (published April 2014), indicates for the period January 2013 to December 2013 that
•
CHSFTs overall HSMR rate is worse than expected at 117.8 and
•
NTHFTs overall rate is worse than expected at 113.4.
Remedial actions:
CHSFT:
A number of actions have been taken by the Trust to improve the reported rates for HSMR including:
•
all deaths are discussed regionally and peer reviews are carried out to identify any preventable actions,
•
all case notes are reviewed and deaths scored,
•
Review of coding underway as differences with approach to use of palliative care coding is main contributing factor
NTHFT:
• The Trust is continuing to review each death as part of a planned mortality review process to ensure that lessons are learned from avoidable deaths. The
tool used as part of this process has been provided from the national team involved in the Keogh review to facilitate local monitoring and national
benchmarking.
• The Trust is developing a Trust policy to support the activity for ensuring reviews are undertaken; ensuring appropriate structures are in place to ensure
information obtained and lessons learned are shared across all levels. Regular updates are provided to clinical teams regarding the current information,
which assists in providing an early warning of any changes in mortality.
• NHS England and NEQOS are providing support to the Trust in introducing a Pneumonia process measures project; which will allow the Trust to introduce a
different approach towards the management of Pneumonia. A deep dive for some re-admissions will commence as part of the Pneumonia process. The
project commenced in February 2014 and will run for the duration of 2014 /15.
• The Trust is involved with regional work on mortality which is being supported externally by NEQOS. This work has a focus on the overall health within the
region and how this has an affect on mortality. The regional group is developing a tool to support reviewing across all Trusts in order to allow direct
comparisons as well as peer review. Queries have been raised with the Trust in relation to the anticipated impact of the regional work; the Trust assures that
the benefits of the work of the Task and Finish group established following the Keogh report should be visible over the summer period.
• The CCG attended an NTHFT review, with 39 patient records reviewed using a criteria based tool and further analysis undertaken as necessary. For the
cases reviewed, it was reported that one case out of the 39 could have had an avoidable death outcome.
• Trust report to Board to be shared with CCG following Board approval which includes the timeline for the impact of current actions.
• CCG requested in May 2014 clarification of coding ( including ambulatory coding), and consideration of any gaps in the context of wider health and social
care factors or required actions. Trust have confirmed ambulatory coding is not included

Has any provider been identified as a 'negative outlier' on
HSMR?
Performance Update:
The North of England Quality Dashboard March 2014 (published April 2014), indicates for the period December 2012 to November 2013 that
•
CHSFTs overall SHMI rate is worse than expected at 108.98 and
•
NTHFTs overall SHMI rate is worse than expected at 111.82
Remedial actions:
CHSFT:
A number of actions have been taken by the Trust to improve the reported rates for SHMI including:
•
all deaths are discussed regionally and peer reviews are carried out to identify any preventable actions,
•
all case notes are reviewed and deaths scored,
•
As reported with HSM a review of coding is underway
NTHFT:
• Monitoring of HSMR continues through the CQRG. The Trust has identified a target review of cases within the diagnosis groups (within the
HSMR indicator set), these are; Pneumonia, Aspiration Pneumonitis, Congestive Heart Failure and Urinary Tract Infection.
• The Trust is continuing to review each death as part of the planned mortality reviews, where all deaths in hospital are reviewed to ascertain if
an individuals death was avoidable. The tool used as part of this review has been provided from the national team involved in the Keogh
review.
• The Trust is developing a Trust policy to support the activity for ensuring reviews are undertaken; ensuring appropriate structures are in place
to ensure information obtained and lessons learned are shared across all levels. Regular updates are provided to clinical teams regarding the
current information, which assists in providing an early warning of any changes in mortality.
• NHS England and NEQOS are providing support to the Trust in introducing a Pneumonia process measures project; which will allow the Trust
to introduce a different approach towards the management of Pneumonia. A deep dive for some re-admissions will commence, as part of the
Pneumonia process.
Monitoring continues through the respective CQRGs.

Exception Report QER05 - Friends and Family Test
Indicator
Does feedback from the Friends and Family test (or any other
patient feedback) indicate any causes for concern for any
provider?
CCG
CDDFT
CHSFT
NTHFT
NEAS
TEVW
Performance Update:
March published indicates the following concerns :
CDDFT:
In patient response rates - UHND at 29.67% remains below the England average of 34.8.
In patient score - DMH obtained a score of 69, UHND 71 both sites continue to remain slightly below the England average of 73.
A&E response rates - DMH increased their response to 14.79% but still remain below the national average and target.
A&E Scores - both hospitals scored 41 which is an improvement on previous month but these still continue to remain significantly below the
national average of 54.
CHSFT: only area to highlight in relation to FFT is that the A&E response rate for CHSFT fell to 14.66 taking it below the national target of 15%.
NTHFT: only area to highlight is that the in-patient score at North tees hospital site at 68 fell below the England average of 73.
Remedial actions:
CDDFT: FFT remains a standing agenda item at the CQRG. As reported previously CDDFT identified an issue regarding the accuracy of the FFT in-patient and
A&E data. A re-count of the Trust’s FFT data from April 2013 has taken place and NHS England is expected to publish the revised data in late May 2014. This
will be shared with CCGs when this is available.
CHSFT: Performance regarding A&E response rate will be monitored through forthcoming FFT data and discussed at the CQRG.
NTHFT: Performance regarding the In patient score at the North Tees site will be monitored through forthcoming FFT data and discussed at the CQRG.

Remedial actions:
The majority of providers nationally continue to experience problems in achieving the 45 and 60 day targets. Breaches are a consequence of
internal governance systems within providers delaying the release of reports to the Commissioner. Performance related activity continues to be
monitored through the serious incident panel and informal 1:1 meetings with providers. The CQRGs are also responsible for formally monitoring
this activity. CCGs have incorporated SI performance into the quality requirements of the 2014/15 contract with providers.

Performance Update
CDDFT were below the target in January ( 92.4%) and February (93.3%), while the performance trend improved during March (96.6%) this wasn’t enough to
achieve the 95% target, and Q4 Performance to week 52 (30th March 2014) is 94.1%. Year end performance is 94.9%.
CDDFT have sustained an improvement in A&E performance since 3rd March. 2014/15 YTD and Q1 performance is 95.5% as at week ending 4th May 2014.
Remedial actions:
CDDFT – The Emergency Care Intensive Support Team (ECIST) visited the Trust in December 2013 and their initial feedback and recommendations included
within the ‘Whole System Letter’ has now been shared. The ECIST recommendations, together with the Trust’s Acute and Long Term Conditions Emergency
Department (ED) Recovery Plan have been considered by the County Durham and Darlington Urgent Care Working Group (UCWG) and agreement has been
reached that the remit of the Front of House Task Force will change to become an ECIST implementation Project Group, accountable to the UCWG.
CCG and NECS colleagues are continuing to support CDDFT to implement the ECIST recommendations.
A working group now meets monthly to review delayed transfers of care. A multidisciplinary team (MDT) pilot is being implemented at specific wards at UHND to
support discharge management processes and following evaluation will be considered for roll out across the Trust.
A bed predictor tool is being developed to improve the management of inpatient beds and a new bed management IT system is being implemented later in 2014.
Visits to other providers have taken place including North Tees & Hartlepool NHS FT ED and Emergency Assessment Unit (EAU) and City Hospitals Sunderland
NHS FT Intermediate Care Beds to learn from examples of good practice.
CDDFT have successfully reviewed and improved their ED Ambulatory and Rapid Assessment & Treatment (RAT) Streams for patients arriving at Emergency
Departments at Darlington Memorial Hospital and University Hospital North Durham. The aim of both streams is to ensure that each patient is seen by the right
clinician in the Emergency Department, first time, every time. Beginning with an initial decision by a Nurse Navigator (senior nurse/doctor), patients are guided to
the most appropriate practitioner for their needs. Successful pilots of this initiative across both hospital sites resulted in full implementation from 1st April 2014.
CCG Chief Officers are continuing to monitor A&E Performance and will re-introduce fortnightly meetings with the Trust and Area Team Chief Executives, to
agree actions if A&E Performance falls below the 95% target.

Performance Update
CDDFT continues to experience consistently high levels of handover delays, resulting in poor performance in relation to the Ambulance handover target. Whilst
Performance in December, January and February remained high, there was a marginal improvement during March. However the provider continues to be an
outlier across the region.
During March 2014, CDDFT are reporting 61.7% of handovers taking place within 15 minutes.
6.2% (256) experiencing 30-60 minute delays and
2.0% (84) experiencing 60-120 minute delays
There were 7 instances where handover delays exceeded 2 hours
Remedial Actions:
The recommendations from a recent jointly commissioned review of handover and turnaround issues (the Pease Report) are taken into account in the Whole
System Unscheduled Care Action Plan. CDDFT have also confirmed their intention to implement “quick win” recommendations from the recent ECIST review
to improve patient flow and reduce pressure ‘Front of House’.
Additional winter monies were allocated to NEAS & CDDFT during 2013/14 to support close management of patient flow from the Ambulance Handover queue
into urgent/emergency care and additional PTS discharge ambulance support for the University Hospital of North Durham to transport patients who are being
discharged from Hospital.
The CDDFT Patient Safety Team have produced all Root Cause Analysis (RCA) reports for ambulance handover delays of 2 hours and over. CDDFT are
required to share these RCA reports with Durham, Darlington and Tees Area Team.
NEAS are providing Hospital Ambulance Liaison Officer (HALO) at UHND to manage ambulance handover delays.
From 1st April 2014, a Senior Nurse or ED Consultant has responsibility for managing ambulance handovers.
CDDFT have successfully reviewed and improved their ED Ambulatory and Rapid Assessment & Treatment (RAT) Streams for patients arriving at Emergency

CHSFT – YTD Mar-14
95.0%
94.44%
Performance Update
City Hospitals Sunderland (CHSFT) have continued to experience significant pressures within their A&E department due to an increased number
of ambulance arrivals and more acute Type 1 attendances. Improvements have continued to be made from February onwards with March
reaching 96.22% giving a year to date position of 94.44%.
The Trust attribute this position to the inability to recruit to additional medical and nursing staff in addition to the higher level of acuity patients
presenting.
Remedial actions:
Work continues between Provider and Commissioner to improve this position. Whilst Pallion Health centre is available to redirect patient for
treatment, the acuity of patients presenting means that this is not always possible and has therefore not had the desired impact expected.
CHS are continuing with recruitment plans for both medical and nursing staff and confirm that an additional A&E consultant has been appointed.
The Trust have flagged that recruitment of staff is still the main issue with ensuring the target is achieved.
The Trust met with Sunderland CCG and the Area Team in the week commencing 11th May. It was agreed that CHS would compile a report to
present the current position in terms of A&E generally. This report will be presented to the next QRG (June) and will cover activity comparisons
from 12/13 against 13/14 as well as key quality metrics, what further work needs to be undertaken to assist in performance, narrative against the
measure taken to date and how these have helped i.e. the opening of Pallion etc as well as details around complaints and incidents.
The Trust identified that some Sunderland GP practices were sending patients in via ambulance that could be managed in an alternative setting
and this has been dealt with by Sunderland CCG who are working with practices to resolve this.

Performance Update
City Hospitals Sunderland have experienced significant pressures within their A&E department and have continued to highlight the large volume
of batched ambulance arrivals. The Trust highlighted they had received 28 within a 5 hour period during a week in April. These pressures have
resulted in an increase in the number of ambulance delays.
Although the target has been breached there have been significant improvements in comparison to last year although the volume of ambulance
arrivals have increased. In addition, although performance improved in November there was a spike in handovers waiting over 30 minutes and
60 minutes through December to March. This is being investigated by the Trust.
Remedial actions:
Commissioners are working closely with CHSFT through the Unscheduled Care workstream to identify solutions to the high volumes of activity.
The meeting has representation from a number of organisations including stakeholders from Sunderland and DDES CCG’s, CHSFT and NEAS.
The Trust have implemented a joint action plan with NEAS. GP awareness of ambulance categories has been improved, rapid sign on has been
established, additional staff have been appointed and are awaiting a start date. Further work is ongoing with CHSFT reviewing ED nursing staff
to ensure availability matches the streams in the service and the Trust are working with NEAS to ensure they can feed in directly to specific
services, the governance issues for this are currently being addressed.
Sunderland CCG are working with NEAS, funding two specific schemes to help stream ambulances to alternative dispositions such as Minor
Injury Units, Urgent Care Teams and district nurses etc. These schemes are now operational and work is ongoing with NEAS to understand the
impact. In addition the unscheduled care board are working to allow 7 day discharges, funding additional ambulances to get patients home,
commissioning 7 day working for social workers and a readmissions avoidance team. These have improved delayed transfers of care with the
current delays being the lowest number in years which is improving flow in the Trust.
To ensure focus remains on achieving this target, a specific indicator has been included within the 14/15 CQUIN scheme within which the trust
will be looking to achieve hitting a target based on a local average performance for each quarter.

Remedial actions:
CHS have placed the Directorate into internal escalation in order to resolve the ongoing issues. Weekly meetings are held with the Directorate to
look at current waiting times, capacity and breaches.
The Directorate are continuing to utilise all available theatre capacity to reduce inpatient waiting times and have made personnel changes within
the administrative team to enhance scheduling and waiting list management.

DDES CCG have failed this target in each of the last 9 months (Jun-Feb). Performance improved in March to 87.3% but the CCG still failed the 4th Qtr overall (84%).
Patient level breach information is not yet available. However there still remain issues in respect of Urology capacity at CHS where patient choice of robotic surgery is causing
delay and Upper GI surgery referrals to Newcastle are also failing to achieve the target.
In 4th Qtr, 26 patients breached the 62 day target in DDES CCG across the following specialties – Breast (1), Lung (7), Gynaecology (2), Upper GI (2), Lower GI (1), Urology (9),
Head & Neck (2) Sarcoma (1) and Skin (1).
CHS and STHT both failed to achieve the 62 day target in 4 Qtr with 80% and 83.5% respectively.
Remedial actions:
South Tees FT has been reviewing a 12 months worth of cancer breaches in an attempt to identify the main themes within those breaching: The themes identified are:
• Late referrals - including those patients that are not fully worked up before being referred
• Patient choice
• Slow pathways (14 day for 2ww and 14 day for diagnostic)
• Complex pathways (more than 1 tumour site or unknown primary).
This analysis is to be used within the Trust to identify what can be done to resolve these issues going forward. In addition to this the Trust is working collaboratively with other
Providers to try and understand cancer pathways further to try and ascertain where changes are required to make a patients journey as efficient as possible.
Although South Tees and Newcastle are liaising regarding how late referrals should be managed, any movement in where the breach should be apportioned does not resolve the
problem. Further work is required to review pathways at a Network level to fully understand how/if pathways can be rationalised to ensure the target is achieved wherever
possible, patient choice not withstanding.
CHS are known to have an internal escalation process in place in respect of Urology. Weekly meetings are in place to discuss current activity, performance, breaches etc and a
copy of their Urology action plan has been requested, along with any other cancer related action plans.
Breaches at a specialty level will be discussed with the Providers through the contract / performance meetings.

Performance in DDES for March is above historical performance.
Performance is consistent with the seasonal trend experienced in previous years, though performance for the yearend, 67.79%, is above previous years’
performance.
Overall, during March, the 71% level of performance was missed by 113 incidents.
Remedial actions:
Discussions continue with NEAS regarding initiatives to assist performance, including taking action to reduce conveyance rates to hospital and increasing the
number of patients that can be seen and treated by NEAS. The Paramedic/GP 5 minute ring back initiative went live on Monday 2nd December 2013, providing
rapid GP telephone support to paramedics across County Durham and Darlington. Feedback suggests that this initiative is having a positive impact in reducing
the number of patients being conveyed to hospital.
NEAS are also performing significant work to focus on ‘frequent callers’ and identify how these patients can be supported to avoid frequent ambulance call-outs
where possible.
Additional Winter Monies have been allocated to a range of organisations, including NEAS to assist in managing pressures over the winter period.
For 2014/15 and a separate contract for the Durham, Darlington and Tees CCGs is now being negotiated, rather than the current single North-East wide
contract, to allow greater focus on the performance issues that exist in the south of the region.

The proportion of people entering therapy target continues to be underachieved with the YTD figure reported as 8.23% against a target of
12.00% which is a rising trajectory. The number of people moving to recovery has seen a further improvement and the target of 50.0% was

It should be noted, as previously reported, that the CCG commissions additional talking therapies by way of a counselling service, which are not
included in these figures. Therefore an additional proportion of the local population are receiving treatment above that reported via the IAPT
service. It should be noted that the target for the proportion of people entering therapy is to achieve 15% of an estimated prevalence by 2015.
Remedial actions:
A contract query was issued to the provider following the Quarter 1 contract meeting (1st August 2013).
The information was received within requested deadlines (23rd September 2013)
This data was presented and discussed at an interim contract performance meeting (4th October 2013).
The resulting action was to issue the provider with a formal performance notice requesting improved staffing levels, service promotion, caseload
monitoring and analysis of the number of people not entering therapy from those referred. A remedial action plan was presented and agreed on
29th October and this was distributed to CCG chief officers for information.
The first review of the action plan took place on 8th December and a further reviews have been scheduled.
The year end position has seen the remedial action plan rectifying the mid-year reduction in performance. The target remains unachieved and as
such the performance notice and remedial action plan will remain in place during 2014/15. Some actions have longer term implications, and an
increase in performance is expected from 1st May following the implementation of actions to tackle service user retention on the scheme.

Quality Premium Introduction
The 'quality premium’ is intended to reward CCGs for improvements in the quality of the services that they commission and the associated
improvements in health outcomes and reducing inequalities. The quality premium paid to CCGs in 2014/15 will reflect the quality of the health
services commissioned by them in 2013/14 and will be based on four national measures and three local measures. It will be a pre-qualifying
criterion for any payment that a CCG manages within its total resources envelope for 2013/14 and does not exceed the agreed level of surplus
drawdown.
The total payment for a CCG based on performance against the four national measures and the three local measures will be reduced if providers
do not meet the NHS Constitutional rights or pledges for patients (RTT 18 week, A&E 4 hr, Cancer 62 day & 8 min Cat A ambulance calls).
The total amount possible for CCGS to receive in achievement of the Quality Premium will be £5 per patient in the CCG, according to the same
formula as the payment of the running cost allowance. For DDES CCG this amounts to £1,439,290.
The following page highlights the indicators against which the quality premium will be determined, together with the relevant financial value

Technical Definition
Causes consi dered amenabl e to heal thcare are those from
whi ch premature deaths shoul d not occur i n the presence
of ti mel y and effecti ve heal th care. The concept of
‘amenabl e’ mortal i ty general l y rel ates to deaths under age
75, due to the di ffi cul ty i n determi ni ng cause of death i n
ol der peopl e who often have mul ti pl e morbi di ti es. The
Offi ce for Nati onal Stati sti cs (ONS) produces mortal i ty data
by cause, whi ch excl udes deaths under 28 days. These
i ndi cators therefore rel ate to deaths between 28 days and
74 years of age i ncl usi ve.
To earn thi s porti on of the qual i ty premi um, there wi l l need
to be a reducti on or a zero per cent change i n emergency
admi ssi ons for these condi ti ons for a CCG popul ati on
between 2012/13 and 2013/14, or the Indi rectl y

Good management of l ong term condi ti ons requi res effecti ve col l aborati on across the
heal th and care system to support peopl e i n managi ng condi ti ons and to promote
swi ft recovery and reabl ement after acute i l l ness. There shoul d be shared

Finance & Activity
Overview
This report provides an update on the position of the contracts held by NHS Durham Dales, Easington and Sedgefield CCG
for the 2013/14 financial year. Finalised performance for the acute contracts is not yet known as the data contained
within this report is based on 11 months freeze and one months flex data.
This report is intended to provide an understanding of the underlying contractual position, without risk share
arrangements applied in order to provide an understanding of the likely impact of current year performance on 2014/15
contract negotiations.
Risk share arrangements are in place for the three largest providers of commissioned services – County Durham and
Darlington FT, North Tees and Hartlepool FT and City Hospitals Sunderland FT.
The County Durham and Darlington FT contract is currently showing a significant over performance at this point in the
year. The risk share arrangement mitigates this overperformance in year, but any overtrade will inform negotiations for
the next financial year.
City Hospitals Sunderland FT and Gateshead FT are both experiencing significant issues with their PAS systems at this
point.
South Tees, Newcastle and BMI Woodlands acute contracts are all overperforming. Patients appear to be exercising
patient choice more frequently in choosing independent sector providers, possibly due to better facilities and waiting
time.
Prescribing costs and Continuing Healthcare are two areas of significant in year risk to the CCG.
The transformation fund is currently significantly underspent.
Referrals data for CDDFT has been included at the end of this section of the QPF for the first time this month. Referrals
into CDDFT are showing a year on year increase at aggregate level.

•
Known business rules have been applied to the data. Work is still
ongoing on smaller reconciliation issues. Data is currently being
reconciled at patient record level to resolve the remaining issues.
•
High levels of uncoded data are currently being submitted to SUS
by this provider. Flex data (of which there is one month included in
this report) is potentially understated.

•
This contract is underperforming by £124k YTD. This
underperformance is offset by the risk share agreement in
place with this provider. No adjustments have been made
for readmissions or penalties.
•
Key areas of overperformance are within excess bed days
(specifically non elective) within admissions recorded via
A&E (£142k), T&O (£66k) and Geriatric Medicine (£40k).
Outpatient follow ups also show as a pressures area
(£1,275k)
particularly
in
Ophthalmology(c£250k),
Rheumatology (£228k), T&O (£114k) and Physio £427k
(Physio contacts have been recorded with Outpatients, but
the plan sits within ‘other services’ this will be resolved for
14/15 reporting.
•
Key areas of under performance are non elective, outpatient
first and ‘Other services’ – specifically Therapies, Physio and
SALT services.
•
Non elective T&O admissions are significantly below plan
(£284k) as are Nephrology (£319k), Geriatric Medicine
(£467k) and Cardiology (£569k). Admissions recorded via
A&E are significantly over performing (£1,342k) – indicating
a change in the way non elective inpatients have been
recorded is likely.

Contract Update
The overspend on the NHS Packages relates to costs associated with the Fulmar and Kirkdale
Wards within TEWV and some individual learning disability placements which TEWV provide.
There was a reduction in the overspend at the year end as a package which had been due to
start in February had still not been finalised by the end of March 2014.
Non NHS Packages of Care were underspent at the end of the financial year. This is in line
with previous months forecasts.

Services continue to operate on trend as previously
reported and illustrate a £385k potential forecast
outturn variance.
A large overspend is anticipated on the Intrahealth
Walk in Centre contract where no budget has been
identified. This is eased by underspends on Oral
Surgery, ENT, Gynae, OOH, CHD and Healthcare at
Home.services.
A significant overspend is anticipated on Children’s
OT however this service is currently out for
procurement which should drive savings and
improve service quality.

Referrals – CDDFT
The following slides shows referrals made by GPs and others of NHS Durham Dales, Easington and Sedgefield (DDES) CCG
patients to County Durham & Darlington NHS Foundation Trust (CDDFT)
Referrals reported here include only those for 'General and acute specialities' as defined for the Monthly Activity Returns
(MAR) and therefore excludes referrals to Obstetrics, Neuropsychology, Physiotherapy, Allied Health Professional Episodes,
Podiatry, Dietetics and Orthoptics
DDES practices make a significant number of referrals to providers other than CDDFT, particularly practices in Easington
(and also Dr Jones & Partners in Sedgefield) tending to refer to Sunderland, Hartlepool and North Tees. Users should be
aware that looking only at CDDFT referrals will not always provide a complete picture, particularly for these areas. Referrals
information has been requested from other providers to allow more complete monitoring of referrals but Sunderland has
confirmed that this will be unavailable for 2013/14 due to problems with their information systems.

Referrals - CDDFT
The funnel chart below shows referral rates for DDES practices for all General and Acute specialties during the 12 months to
January 2014. Easington practices and Dr Jones & Partners, Sedgefield are excluded as CDDFT is not their main OP provider.
NB – with the large number of referrals made it is possible to identify that most practices are
statistically above or below average at 95% significance in their referrals rate to CDDFT.
