Introduction Chairman & Chief Executive Statement Reaching the end of the financial year 2009/10 is an opportune time to reflect on the work of the Trust during the course of the year. I am pleased to report that Clatterbridge Centre for Oncology (CCO) continues to provide the highest quality clinical care possible and in recognition of this the Care Quality Commission has awarded the Trust its ‘excellent’ rating for both the quality of services and for the use of resources; the two areas it assessed for the year 2008/09. In March 2010 the Trust was advised by the Care Quality Commission (CQC) that our registration had been agreed and that they have registered us with standard restrictive conditions only. Standard restrictive conditions cover what regulated activities can be carried out at the Trusts premises, these are stated below: x x

Treatment of disease, disorder or injury Diagnostic and screening procedures

Monitor has awarded the organisation the best rating possible for financial risk and confirmed that the Trust delivered it mandatory services. CCO is achieving the majority of the required operating standards in respect of relevant NHS targets. However we continue to be tested by the challenge of meeting the new 62 day cancer waiting time target, falling just short of the operating standard in two quarters of 2009/10. In large part this is due to late referrals from secondary care. We continue to work with our colleagues in the healthcare system to ensure that our patients receive timely treatment and the Trust delivers sustainable achievement of the required standard. The Trust has continued to meet the challenge of the mandated infection control targets. We have achieved both targets for Clostridium difficule and MRSA and I am pleased to report that again MRSA bacteraemia infections have remained at zero throughout the year. Furthermore, the Trust has achieved a strong balance sheet with a surplus of £3,270k, which has enabled us to continue our investment programmes to upgrade facilities and services at the centre. Construction work has now been completed on the remodelled Sulby Ward to include more single rooms and en-suite facilities and a dedicated Teenage and Young Adult Unit. This four-bedded facility will accommodate patients aged 16-24 years, offering privacy and independence - as well as additional space for overnight stays by family members. We are grateful for the additional funding received from the Teenage Cancer Trust towards the cost of this unit. We are the only Trust in the UK to provide low energy proton treatments for eye cancers and we receive patients not only from the UK but also from many other parts of the world. New forms of proton treatment are now available to deal with other types of tumours. We are currently, in conjunction with Alder Hey Children’s NHS Foundation Trust, making a bid to the Department of Health for a high energy proton treatment machine which will be capable of treating many other types of tumour. In particular proton therapy has significant benefits for the treatment of children and young people. The cost of these machines however is significantly greater than the Linear Accelerator radiotherapy machines we currently operate. 5 6


High energy proton therapy facilities cost in excess of £100m. We will not know until later in the year whether or not we will be asked by the Department of Health to compete to provide this service for the people in Merseyside & Cheshire but also for patients throughout the North of England. One of the key drivers for the Trust Board has been to try and deliver our services as near as possible to the patient. We already have eight chemotherapy clinics located in acute hospitals throughout Cheshire and Merseyside and the Isle of Man but all our radiotherapy is undertaken at the Clatterbridge site. With this in mind we have commenced building a Satellite Radiotherapy Centre ‘Clatterbridge Cancer Centre – Liverpool’ on the Walton/Aintree Hospital site in North Liverpool. The cost of the project will be met by the Trust with the help of charitable funds. Our colleagues from the Marina Dalglish Appeal are working hard to raise a significant proportion of the money required to ensure that this facility is completed by the end of 2010 and opened for the use of patients early in 2011. Needless to say we are most grateful for all their hard work. Clearly 2009/10 has been a productive year for the Trust but there are significant challenges facing the Trust in the coming years. The most significant of these relate to the financial pressures which the NHS is almost certainly likely to experience. How these pressures will impact on our services is still not known but they are likely to create a more demanding environment in which we will have to operate. Nevertheless, we are confident that with the support of our Governors and Members and the exceptional level of commitment and hard work of our Staff 20010/11 will prove to be an equally successful year for the Trust.

Directors’ Report Background Information Clatterbridge Centre for Oncology was licensed as a Foundation Trust from 1st August 2006. Our vision during 2009/10 as an NHS Foundation Trust is to provide ‘world class cancer care.’ Fundamental to our success in achieving our vision has been our focus on delivering our strategic objectives. These are: x x x x

To be the provider of choice for non-surgical (solid tumour) cancer services to the population of Cheshire and Merseyside. This is our core service To develop key partnerships that will further strengthen core business To remain the employer of choice for staff both within the local, general employment market, and nationally for staff with specific expertise in cancer services To become an organisation that is fully responsive and accountable to its membership.

Trust profile Clatterbridge Centre for Oncology (CCO) is one of the largest cancer centres in the UK – registering over 8,300 new patients each year and providing more than 131,000 attendances for treatment. In addition to the facilities provided on the main Clatterbridge site, many of our out-patient and treatment clinics are run in the surrounding general hospitals of Merseyside, Cheshire and the Isle of Man where we serve a population of 2.3 million. We employ over 650 staff and volunteers and spend approximately £64m per year on all aspects of cancer treatment, diagnosis and care. The cancer centre is located on the Clatterbridge Health Park in Bebington, Wirral. Within the centre we provide a range of radiotherapy and chemotherapy treatments in out-patient and in-patient settings. We also provide out-patient consultations and support services. The treatment centre has undergone significant financial investment over the past five years and now hosts one of the best equipped radiotherapy centres in the UK. Research and development, including participation in national and international clinical trials, is an important feature of the cancer centre.

Operating & Financial Review (OFR) Financial Summary The Trust has again had a successful year and has achieved or exceeded all of its key financial targets. The Trust’s financial position is detailed in the accounts included as part of this report, however the table below summarises performance in the key areas.

Financial Target

Outcome

Planned income & expenditure surplus of £2.9m Earnings Before Interest, Tax, Depreciation and Amortisation (EBITDA) of £7.16m I&E surplus margin of 4.8% EBITDA margin of 11.5%

Achieved actual surplus of £3.27m Achieved actual EBITDA of £8.06m

Return of Assets employed of 9.0%

Achieved return of 10.9%

Liquid ratio of 74.8 days (measures liquidity of the Trust. The higher the ratio the more liquid the Trust

Achieved ratio of 92.1 days

Overall Financial Risk Rating determined by the Independent Regulator (Monitor) of 5. (where 5 represents the lowest financial risk and 1 highest)

Achieved Financial Risk Rating of 5.

Prudential Borrowing Limit (PBL) The long term prudential borrowing limit is set by Monitor. The Trusts current cumulative long Term limit is £14.5m.

CCO has taken out a loan of £5m in 2009/10 against the PBL limit. In addition the long term obligations relating to finance leases (£0.5m) is scored against the PBL. The total of £5.5m is well within the permissible limit. Private Patient income of £0.349m represents approximate 0.6% of total Trust clinical income. Therefore the Trust has remained within the Private Patient Income Cap.

Private Patient Income Cap: Under the terms of authorization as a Foundation Trust private patient income must Not exceed 2.2% of total clinical income

Achieved margin of 6.5% Achieved margin of 12.5%

Key Financial Risks The majority (91%) of the Trust’s income is received for the provision of non-surgical cancer treatments to the residents of Merseyside, Cheshire, and parts of Lancashire, North Wales and the Isle of Man. Approximately 28% of the Trust’s clinical income is funded by Payment by Results (PbR) national tariffs, with the remainder from locally determined prices. Both PbR and the local tariff arrangements are based on the principle that the Trust is reimbursed based on activity performed. Therefore a reduction in activity levels represents a financial risk to the Trust. However the Trust is able to mitigate in part against this risk by: x x x

Where possible, employing contract tolerances to reduce in year income volatility Agreeing local tariffs with commissioners for 72% of clinical income that are not, therefore, subject to the same degree of price volatility as the nationally determined tariffs within Payment by Results Agreeing cancer drug developments to ensure drug funding based on actual drug usage. 8 9


A key concern for the forthcoming financial years will be the likely reduction in public expenditure on the NHS. The Trust is working with commissioners and other stakeholders across the health economies as part of the North West Quality, Innovation, Productivity and Prevention (QIPP) process to ensure quality cancer services can be maintained whilst increasing productivity and efficiency. Therefore another key financial risk is the delivery of the Trust’s cost improvement programme (CIP) and improvements in unit efficiency. However the target was achieved in 2009/10 and the entire 2010/11 programme has been identified. Activity As noted above, the majority of the Trust’s income is derived from providing non surgical cancer treatments and support (such as Radiotherapy, Chemotherapy, palliative care, diagnostic imaging, psychiatric and other support). During 2009/10 the Trust has continued to experience steady growth for its Chemotherapy services in particular. Radiotherapy activity reduced in the initial part of the year and although started to increase in the latter part of the year, cumulative activity was less than planned. The number of patients admitted to the hospital as in-patients also fell in year. Proton therapy has continued to increase on last year as per plan, with a steady increase in referrals from outside the usual Liverpool referral pathway. Activity

Forecast growth is related to the increase in estimated numbers of our relevant catchment population, and is based on the same assumptions that underpin the Trust’s 3 year Forward Plan. The percentage growth represents an average of the previous few years rather then a projection based solely on the last 12 months. Due to relatively low patient numbers (circa 100 – 120 p.a.) the Proton Therapy activity is quite volatile year on year and therefore no growth is assumed for 2010/11. Other Income and Non-healthcare Activities As noted above, the majority of the Trust’s income is derived from providing clinical cancer services. In addition, the remaining 9% of income is derived from: x x x x x x

Undertaking research & development Education and training External drug sales to the private sector Hosting non-clinical services, such as the National Cancer Services Analysis Team. In CCO’s accounts income for these services matches expenditure and therefore there is no impact on the Trust’s EBITDA and overall I&E surplus Support from charities and recharges to other NHS and non-NHS bodies Income to cover depreciation of donated and Government Granted assets. 9

Contractual Commitments & Post Balance Sheet Events The Trust is on target to complete the new Radiotherapy satellite facility in Liverpool to enable clinical services to commence in the final quarter of 2010/11. The Trust have entered phase 4 of the Procure 21 contract and the forecast cost of the building project remains £12.6m. A further £5.3m will be spent on equipping the facility in 2010/11, thanks in great part to a significant donation from the Marina Dalglish appeal. Investment Activity The Trust invested £7 million in buildings and replacement of capital equipment in 2009/10. The main schemes were: x x x x

£4.88m for the Radiotherapy satellite in Liverpool. The unit is expected to be operational by the final quarter of 2010/11 £1.26m Refurbishment of one of the wards (Sulby), including the construction of a dedicated Teenage & Young Adult unit £0.51m purchase of additional building space £0.17m for a new collimator and software to improve stereotactic radiosurgery facilities.

All of the above represented investments in assets that are protected to deliver cancer services to our patients as part of the core business of the Trust, with the expectation that the improvements will build on the existing high standard of care provided. In addition to Radiotherapy satellite, the Trust is planning further capital expenditure in 2010/11 to commence the next phase of the ward refurbishment programme, and continue with its on-going equipment replacement programme. A number of projects are also planned to improve Information Management and Technology services at the Trust. Accounting Policies Accounting policies have been redrafted to comply with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) and a full list of these policies is included as part of the Annual Accounts. Charitable Funding The Board of CCO is also the Corporate Trustee of Clatterbridge Centre for Oncology Charitable Funds. During 2009/10 £458,846 has been spent by the charity in support of the Foundation Trust. The main areas of expenditure were: x x x x x

Contribution to capital (medical equipment): £ 70,000 Research & development: £120,652 Improving patients welfare: £214,716 Improving staff welfare: £10,809 Other direct expenditure: £42,669.

Going Concern The following financial accounts statements have been prepared on a going concern basis. After making enquiries the directors have a reasonable expectation that the NHS Foundation Trust has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. For this reason they continue to adopt the going concern basis in preparing the accounts.

Patient Care Performance against key targets 2009/10 18 weeks performance CCO has performed well against the existing requirements to see and treat patients within 18 weeks, whether they are admitted or non admitted. Performance against these key targets is as follows: x 95.4% of admitted patients were seen within 18 weeks from the initial GP referral to treatment (target threshold 90%) x 97.9% of non admitted patients were seen within 18 weeks from initial GP referral to treatment (target threshold 95%). Additionally non Cancer Waiting time’s specific performance can be seen as follows: x No patient has waited longer than 6 weeks (target 13 weeks) for Imaging (CT and MRI at CCO) x We have had no incidence of a MRSA bacteraemia (our target is no more than 2). Cancer Waiting Times performance As of 1st January 2009, the Cancer Reform targets were introduced which changed the reported performance levels for both the 31 day and 62 day cancer waiting times targets, in order to align them with the 18 week pause model. That is, the majority of usable adjustments, such as patient thinking time, time out for patient holidays, medical suspensions, were removed. The impact of this was that reported performance was seen to drop significantly, even though in reality patients were being seen and treated just as quickly as before. Whilst the target rationales were changed for the last quarter of 2008/09, Department of Health recommended that the data for Quarter 1 2009/10 was inappropriate for use due to lack of completed data submissions by all Trusts. Care Quality Commission, whilst ‘suggesting’ targets against National Operating Standards for 2009/10; have not yet finally and formally agreed any of the Cancer Waiting Time targets (this report provides information based on and against those ‘suggested’ targets): x x x

All patients who had suspected cancer and were referred urgently by their G.P.’s were seen within 14 days 97.7% of patients were treated within 31 days from the time of decision to treat for first treatments (target threshold 96%). 98.9% of patients were treated within 31 days from the time of decision to treat for subsequent treatments (target threshold 98%) 11 12

x

77.6% of patients were treated within 62 days from the date of urgent GP referral (draft target threshold 79%). Pre finalisation of the reallocations submission date 8th July 2010. See below for patients treated within 62 days from the date of urgent GP referral under the ‘classic’ pathway (draft target threshold 79%). The Trust will not be monitored against the 62 day screening pathway since insufficient numbers of patients were referred and therefore the ‘de minimus’ rule comes into being.

The 62 day cancer waiting time standard The Trust has worked particularly hard to deliver the 62-days Cancer Waiting time standard. This standard is a particular challenge for CCO as a tertiary provider of services. The performance has been indicative of the changes in the rationales for measurement against this target and not as a result of patients not being seen just as quickly as before (even with the reduction in threshold). The achievement of the 62 day waiting time standard has remained a high priority for the Trust, this target monitors the maximum waiting time for suspicion of cancer patients from the point of urgent GP referral to the start of treatment. Considerable effort has been put in across the Trust in achieving this target; similarly we have worked hard to build effective working relations with partner NHS Trusts who refer patients into the Trust, to help ensure that patients are referred to us as quickly as possible. Also, following a trend analysis it was evident that the biggest issues for us was around the Urology pathway and the Head & Neck pathway, The Intensive Support Team were invited by CCO to facilitate some work to review these pathways across the region. The outcome from the Intensive Support Team was that there were no recommendations regarding the Urology Pathway which they declared is as efficient as it can be; the issue remains around the delay following Trans-Rectal Ultrasound (TRUS) biopsy to undertake MRI scanning, which requires a planned 28 day delay. With regards to the Head & Neck Pathway, a small number of suggestions were made at the first workshop in January which were then implemented by the second workshop in May. It was agreed at the second workshop that the Head and Neck pathway is now as efficient as possible for this very complex pathway. The table below shows the performance both pre Cancer Reform Strategy Changes and since, for the ‘classic’ 62 day target patient pathway 2009/10). It does not include the performance for the 62 day screening patient pathway since CCO have not received enough referrals to be measured against due to the ‘de minimus’ rule Yearly quarter

Regulatory ratings The Regulator (Monitor) assesses the performance of Foundation Trusts quantifying performance in three distinct categories: Financial, Governance and Mandatory Services. For both 2008/09 and 2009/10 in their assessments of the annual plan and each quarters performance Monitor determined that the Trust should be awarded ‘green’ for its mandatory services and financial risk rating of ‘5’ (the best possible financial risk rating).

The position in respect of the governance rating for each year is described below. Governance Ratings 2008/09 The Trust received a Green rating for Governance in each quarter of 2008/09 Governance Ratings 2009/10 The Trust received Amber ratings for Governance in quarters 1, 2 and 4. This was due to three separate issues: Firstly, concern expressed by third parties that the Trust was failing to engage fully with some parties in the local health economy in respect of service developments and whether the Board and its Governors had been informed of the full implications of these developments. The Trust developed and implemented a structured programme of engagement which addressed this issue to Monitor’s satisfaction by quarter 3. Secondly the Trust was undertaking a significant investment (the development of a satellite radiotherapy facility at Walton) whilst there was no substantive Chief Executive in post. 13 14


Monitor was satisfied once a substantive appointment (Reported quarter 2) was made that this risk to the organisation was removed. Finally the 62 day ‘classic’ cancer waiting times target threshold against the National Operating Standard has yet to be confirmed by CQC. Following an analysis by CQC of the 2009/10 data after the 11th June 2010, the final agreed threshold for this target along with the actual performance will be published on 16th June 2010. CCO have requested a reduction in the draft threshold for this target which was originally proposed at 79%. (The 62 day screening target will not be assessed due to patient numbers invoking the ‘de minimus rule’). Under the Compliance Framework current performance against the draft threshold is sufficient to generate an Amber rating. The Trust continues to implement its action plan to deliver sustainable achievement of the standard required. However it remains susceptible to late referrals from secondary care leading to a failure.

Care Quality Commission (CQC) Assessment and Review Standards for Better Health Declaration 2008/09 The Trust has declared full compliance for all of the core standards. Care Quality Commission Performance Ratings 2008/09 The Healthcare Commission performance ratings for 2008/09 were published in the autumn of 2008. The ratings are derived from a wide range of indicators and are summarised to a rating on two categories; quality of services and use of resources. Quality of Services:

Excellent

This rating ranks the Trust higher than the average in England. The overall rating is a consolidation of the following areas: Component

Care Quality Commission inspection: Hygiene Code In January 2010 the Trust received an unannounced inspection from the CQC in relation to compliance with the Hygiene Code. The CQC assesses the Trust on whether we are meeting the new regulation on HCAIs and following the supporting Code of Practice and related guidance. On inspection, they found no evidence that the trust has breached the regulation to protect patients, workers and others from the risks of acquiring a healthcare associated infection. Independent Risk Management Assessments Achievement of NHSLA level 3 In November 2007 the Trust was successfully assessed against NHSLA level 3 (the highest available) and became the second Trust in the country (not including the pilot Trusts) to gain this level of attainment. The assessment reflects the Trust’s robust risk management systems and processes and the extent to which a risk aware culture is embedded in the organisation. Maintenance of ISO 9001:2008 Standard The ISO 9001:2008 Standard is a national (externally assessed) standard based around the principles of customer satisfaction, a systematic approach to management, and encouraging a culture of continual improvement across all departments within the Trust. CCO is thought to have been the first NHS Trust to achieve this accreditation for the organisation as a whole. The accreditation is reviewed periodically and it is pleasing to report that it has been retained throughout 2009/10.

Developing our Services Radiotherapy Radiotherapy continues to be busy with 9 Linear Accelerators and a cobalt unit all operational. 2009 saw an increase in the use of RapidArc which is a way of treating some Intensity Modulated Radiation Treatment (IMRT) patients much more quickly, reducing the time a patient spends on the treatment couch and therefore improving patient experience. The use of this technology is currently being expanded into more anatomical sites having started mainly treating prostate tumours. There have also been some improvements to the Stereotactic Radiosurgery Service (SRS) with the installation of a modified collimator system on one of the Linacs. This makes the switch to SRS much easier and quicker which has enabled more than one patient to be treated in a session, making more efficient use of consultant and other staff time. The radiotherapy development by CCO on the Walton / Aintree site is progressing well with the building taking shape and due for handover in October / November 2010. The construction and equipping of the ÂŁ17.5m satellite unit has been made possible both by the additional financial freedoms available to CCO as a Foundation Trust and the kind generosity of the supporters of the Marina Dalglish appeal. To finance the project CCO has been able to utilise cash surpluses generated since becoming a Foundation Trust, supplemented by a 15 16


£5m loan from the Foundation Trust Financing Facility and the signature donation, expected to be in the region of £3m, from the Marina Dalglish appeal. The commissioning of the equipment at the satellite will begin before the building is formally handed over and it is anticipated that the clinical service will commence in February 2011. The new facility will shorten the journey time of a significant number of patients who currently have to travel to CCO for radiotherapy treatment. There is considerable effort going into streamlining processes to make working across 2 sites as efficient as possible. Chemotherapy The Trust has an excellent track record of delivering chemotherapy treatments as close as possible to the patient. Some 70% of the Trust’s outpatient chemotherapy treatments are already delivered by CCO’s clinical staff in District General Hospitals in the cancer network. This is understood to be one of the most devolved services in the country, and has been promoted as an exemplar of good practice nationally. In 2009-10 the Trust focused on improving the quality of the service that it provides to its patient population and to other healthcare professionals who may treat our patients. Electronic Prescribing Nationally, electronic prescribing has been in the process of development for some time within Chemotherapy, with CCO being key partners in ensuring that this development is a ‘fit for purpose’ system. The pilot phase is complete, and the regimes are now almost built, medical and nursing staff are completing training, and it is hoped for a full roll-out of electronic prescribing across chemotherapy within the next few months. Patient Follow Up Phone Calls A new system of providing patient follow-up phone calls has been implemented for all patients within 48hours of them receiving their first cycle of chemotherapy. Qualitative feedback has suggested that patients find this extremely beneficial. The task is undertaken by the Triage Service. In addition all patients DNA’s are now followed up by the Triage Service. Nurse Led Services The Trust has continued the development of nurse led clinics for both supportive treatments and chemotherapy treatments, supporting a number of nurses to attain the non medical prescribing qualification to enable this development. Triage Service From 5th October a different service model for the Triage service was introduced. The model now used is a 24hour service, with 15 hours per day running as a separate service to both Delamere and Sulby wards. The aims and objectives of developing the service have all been met and are all continually being developed, these being: x To provide access to support and information to all patients, families, and Health care professionals 16 17


x x x x x

To provide constant and knowledgeable information to all who need it To provide a patient focused service To create effective communication between primary, secondary and tertiary service providers To provide training and support for all CCO and acute trust staff where we administer chemotherapy To overall create a fit for purpose service which complies with all recent reports and recommendations which others would aim to replicate.

Impact of the change in service provision The service has had a wide impact on both patients and staff alike. These improvements being: x Speedier answering of calls due to the introduction of the triage clerk x Patients when attending CCO for review have all necessary tests undertaken speedier, and are reviewed quicker due to the introduction of the Triage clerk x Triage nurses are able, due to the extended hours to become more pro-active with patients and staff in other trusts x All staff are competency trained to the same high standard x Introduction of algorithms to be used within the Triage service have helped in the thorough assessment of patients calling the triage service x A more seamless service provision x Staff on Sulby are not taken away from undertaking there normal roles. x Better communication with acute trusts regarding patients being referred by CCO or who are self referring. IM&T Service Plans In 2008/09 the Trust Board approved a new IM&T Strategy for the period 2008-11. The strategy covers business and clinical IM&T systems and service management and focuses on five core dimensions: Business Alignment; Management and Governance; Enterprise Architecture; Organisation and Supply; Portfolio and Financial. The document includes ‘vision statements’ for each of the dimensions and describes plans for the delivery of a range of IM&T projects and initiatives, using a best practice programme and project management approach (MSP and PRINCE 2), with a number of under-pinning principles which are linked to the Trust’s values as described in the Delivery Plan The key themes within the strategy are concerned with improving IM&T service management, project co-ordination and delivery, clinical system integration and remote access to information systems. During 2009/10 the Trust continued to implement its approved IM&T Strategy and further improved on its strong performance against the Information Governance Toolkit. An independent audit of IM&T program and project management arrangements provided an improved rating of ‘significant assurance’. Using guidance from Monitor and Connecting for Health the Trust carried out an EPR options appraisal to confirm the best approach to providing and improving upon its Electronic Patient Record systems from 2012 and beyond. The preferred option was to extend the existing 17 18


supply contract for three years to March 2015 and a rigorous approach to contract review and negotiation has secured a range of system enhancements on a cost-neutral basis. The Trust self-assessment against the Information Governance Toolkit secured a score of 89% (Green rating) a further improvement on the score in 2007/08. The Trust secured at least a level 2 in each of the Data Security assessments. Estates In 2009/10 continued our development of an environment that promotes staff and patient well-being and supports the delivery of our service goals. The Estate Strategy for the Trust has been reviewed and updated and sets out the requirements for the Trust over the next 3 – 5 years and how the Trust’s estates function supports the delivery of the organisations strategic objectives over the medium term. For 2009/10 the two major estates programmes on the Clatterbridge site (i.e. excluding the major radiotherapy development at Walton/Aintree) for the Trust were: (i) Improvement in the quality of the Trust’s in-patient facilities One of the current inpatient wards was fully refurbished during 2009/10. This development has provided an increase in the provision of single rooms and offers benefits in terms of; privacy & dignity, infection control, meeting patient expectations and flexibility in providing single sex accommodation. (ii) Dedicated facilities for teenagers and young adults NICE Improving Outcomes Guidance for Children and Young People was published in 2006 and a North West plan has been developed by the Specialised Commissioning Group (SCG) in conjunction with the four North West Cancer Networks, including North Wales. Local plans have been developed for young peoples cancer services (in the 16 to 24 age group). Key elements of the North West strategy which informed our estates plan were: x x

Treatment and care of young people concentrated in a limited number of Trusts with access to age appropriate facilities, in association with the Principal Treatment Centre at Clatterbridge Centre for Oncology (CCO) Provision of a Teenage and Young Adult Unit at CCO for inpatient chemotherapy and radiotherapy.

As part of the ward refurbishment programme an age specific inpatient unit for 16 – 24 year olds was created in partnership with the Teenage Cancer Trust. Research & Development Research and Development (R&D) is a central component of the Trust’s Vision to provide outstanding cancer care through excellence in treatment, research, education and training. A focused and vibrant research agenda is expected to contribute to the achievement of the Trust’s strategic aims. During 2009/10 we have demonstrated our commitment to R&D in a number of ways, including: 18 19


x

The recruitment campaign for a Chair of Medical Oncology is underway. This is the first stage of the development of an Academic Unit of Oncology with presence at both the University of Liverpool and CCO with an over-arching strategy

x

We have expanded the Merseyside and Cheshire Cancer Research Network workforce. Significant investment has been made by the Cheshire and Merseyside Comprehensive Local Research Network; which should correspond to an increase in the local National Institute for Health Research (NIHR) portfolio and subsequent patient recruitment. Our aim is to increase overall accrual to 12.5% by 2011/12. In 2009/10 we are projected to exceed this at ~14% (based on first 9 months data)

x

Work is ongoing to further develop locally-led physics and radiobiological modelling research aimed at improving radiotherapy treatment. A number of our senior physicists are active members of NIHR Trial Management Groups (TMGs) and the NCRI Clinical & Translational Radiotherapy Research Working Group (CTRRWG) demonstrating a clear commitment to the development of national research programmes

x

We are making progress against our aim to develop a growing portfolio of locally-led clinical research approved by relevant NIHR Clinical Studies Groups. A number of researchers are currently developing potential NIHR portfolio studies. We have also continued to foster our close working relationship with the Liverpool Cancer Trials Unit (LCTU) as the local provider of trial management support to Chief Investigators

x

Over the past 12 months the Liverpool Experimental Cancer Centre has expanded its portfolio of early phase clinical research. We have secured funding for an additional research practitioner to support this increase in activity.

Developing our Workforce The Trust has continues to embed its organisational development strategy throughout the year. This set out our approach to issues such as leadership, workforce engagement and other aspects of how we manage and develop our people. Clear goals were outlined within the strategy and progress has been made in a number of areas. Significant progress made, on embedding the core values that have been developed through engagement with our workforce. The values now play a core part in Trust processes and inform decisions made around recruitment, induction, staff awards and internal communication channels. The Trust has also begun a programme of initiatives around employee health & wellbeing, which has seen free health checks, nutritional advice, complementary therapies and a stress awareness campaign. Supporting a strategy to provide managers with the right tools to enable effective management of their people, the Trust successfully implemented the Electronic Staff Record and rapidly completed a subsequent assessment that demonstrated appropriate use of the system. To enable the Trust to be fit for purpose we are currently undertaking a review of the capacity and capability of its HR function. 19 20


Staff Survey The Trust continues to perform well in the national staff survey. Key results are outlined below. The Trust performs an annual review of the results and uses these to inform further workforce development in key areas. In order to monitor results and to learn from staff feedback the Trust adopts a number of methods. The Trust Board receives an annual presentation of both the staff and patient surveys to both review the results and to triangulate the responses. The JCNF receives the survey results and provides direction from a staff side perspective of the key areas for improvement. Key specialist areas are reviewed and taken forward by specific committees e.g. the range of health and safety questions is reviewed by the Trusts Health and Safety Committee which is partly constituted by staff side health and safety representatives. Specific projects are developed involving staff side representation. Following the 2009 results we are currently planning a workshop utilising the experience of staff who have been involved in all parts of the Bullying and Harassment Policy to identify areas of weakness and improvement. Public displays in both patient and staff areas of the summary survey results are done and there are joint presentations / discussions from HR and Patient Experience at departmental meetings. In addition to the above examples the Trust has identified a corporate objective to develop a Health and Wellbeing strategy for the Trust learning from the Boorman review. Discussions with our staff side representatives with regard to staff working extra hours do not identify this as a negative. The question asks a factual question. For a number of our staff, particularly on part time contracts they appreciate the additional flexibility to work additional paid hours. We do not therefore have an action plan to change this result. We do however monitor through our risk management system any issues relating to potential problems with workforce availability that could mean staff working additional hours when this is not their choice. These issues are addressed independently. The Trust continues to develop and monitor its approach to staff stress learning and implementing from best practice identified by the health and Safety Executive and the NHSLA. The Trust has conducted an audit of compliance against its stress policy and as a result has agreed the following actions: x x x

Further promotion of the steps being taken by line managers and the Trust to address stress across the Trust Establish awareness training on stress for all line managers Raise awareness of the support mechanisms available.

Improvements in patient/carer information Throughout 2009/10 we have continued the programme of review of our patient information in order to improve the design and accessibility of information to patients, carers and their families. All of the Trusts core patient information leaflets have been reviewed in conjunction with our Patient Council and are now available to all patients in the new design. Improved governance processes around document control have been put into place. In addition further work has been done to our website ensuring patients and carers have access to appropriate information included Board assurance statements on the quality of its services. During 2009/10 we also started to publish the results of our internal ‘real time’ survey on the public website.

Complaints handling The Trust continues to have a low number of complaints (11 in 2009/10). Complaints are managed by our Patient Experience Manager who provides an integrated complaints, PALs and patient and public involvement service and who forms part of our Clinical Governance Support Team. All complaints are reviewed and responded to by the Chief Executive. Information on complaints and lessons learned are shared with all staff via our Team Brief and information provided to the public via annual clinical governance road shows held in public areas of the Trust. The Council of Governors Patient Experience Committee receives complaints/Pals quarterly reports.

Partnerships and alliances In addition to the partnership working with regard to the development of our new satellite radiotherapy centre, further developments in our chemotherapy service and the establishment of a Teenage and Young Adult Unit, the Trust continues to work with partners to develop cancer services. During 2009/10 this has included: Proton Therapy Bid The Trust has joined with Alder Hey Children’s NHS Foundation Trust and others to bid to the Department of Health to be a national centre for the provision of Proton Therapy services. The key deliverables for providers are: x . x

To implement a facility which will provide services by 2015

x

To provide services which are fully integrated into the clinical pathways for the management of specific tumours

x

To specifically provide fully integrated services for Children and Younger Adults.

To contribute to the delivery of a minimum of 1500 adult and paediatric patient treatments per annum

The bid was submitted on 12th March, 2010 and is currently being evaluated for short listing. Following evaluation, a decision will be taken by the Department of Health and the successful organisations requested to develop an outline business case and formally approach the supplier market to prepare detailed costed plans. If successful for short listing, Boards of both organisations will need to decide how they take the bid forward and the legal nature of the venture. Academic Unit of Oncology We continue to work in partnership with Liverpool University to develop an Academic Unit of Oncology and Associated research developments. Sustainability / climate change The importance of Sustainability reporting Sustainability is a national requirement and makes both national and local sense for a number of reasons - financial and non financial: x x

There is a national target to reduce Carbon emissions by 80% by 2050 compared with 1990 levels Some evidence exists that climate change is resulting in increased carbon emissions which is then resulting in the destabilisation of the world’s climate, so reduction in energy which results in carbon emissions is saving the planet as well as potentially reducing costs 23 24


x x x x

There are potential health benefits in that a reduction in carbon emissions through a reduction in levels of active travel will result in lower road traffic accidents and improved air quality Improved energy efficiency has the potential to reduce fluctuation in price and availability of fuels derived from and which produce carbon The NHS is a large organisation and should be at the forefront of these types of initiatives The NHS should set examples to not only partner organisations and the population but be the public sector exemplar, demonstrating that healthy people depend on a healthy environment.

Monitoring what organisations do in relation to how they utilise precious energy resource will ultimately increase awareness of the production of carbon and through targeted measures ensures improvement in sustainability. Plans for Sustainability CCO is developing a Carbon Reduction Strategy which will set out the organisations plans on how to tackle Sustainability over the period required by the Government. There are 10 key areas for improvement. The following is a summary of some of the initial proposals that CCO will consider taking forward, in the context of the type of services it provides (Radiotherapy is a high user of energy, significantly so in comparison to other ‘usual’ services provided in most hospitals which require normal amounts of energy for which to run services such as wards, operating theatres, radiology, pathology, offices, etc) plus the fact that CCO is on a shared site with multiple partners makes it more complex and increasingly important to ensure partnership working; which has begun): Item

Further use will be made of BREEAM, external contracts, Service Level Agreements, Service budgets and Travel Plans for the future.

Governance NHS Foundation Trust Code of Governance The Monitor Foundation Trust Code of Governance includes a code provision (C.2.1 “….All [other] Executive Directors should be appointed by a committee of the Chief Executive, the Chairman and Non-Executive Directors and subject to re-appointment at intervals of no more than five years). The Board considered this code provision at its meeting in March 2007 and was informed that with an employment contract of any type, there is only one way to terminate without incurring a financial penalty and that is by following due process, i.e. clear and documented performance management. The financial penalty associated with ending a rolling contract could be significantly higher than a standard contract. The Board therefore agreed that it would not comply with this code provision. All other requirements of the Code of Governance have been met in full. Council of Governors Working together with the Board During the last year our Board of Directors and Governors have worked together in a number of ways to ensure that the Governors’ views are understood and that they receive appropriate support. The Chief Executive prepares a report with updates on performance, strategic and operational issues for each of the Council of Governors meetings. Both Executive Directors and Non-Executive Directors attend the Council of Governors’ meetings and its committees. In addition to attendance at these meetings, the Board uses opportunities to work with the Governors, as it did at a joint ‘away day’ held on 26th March which focused on the strategic development of the organisation.

In January 2010 the Senior Governor was invited to attend Trust Board meetings to ensure transparency between the Trust Board and Council of Governors. To supplement the attendance of the Chair of Audit Committee at the Council meetings, the Trust implemented the attendance of a ‘public’ governor at the Audit Committee. This ensures that any matters identified are considered and where any action or improvement is needed. The Council of Governors have the responsibility to hold the Board of Directors to account for the performance of the Trust, to ensure this happens a ‘public’ governor has been invited to attend the Integrated Governance Committee. This gives the Council the opportunity to receive detailed information on a selection of key performance indicators and the Trusts approach to key areas. The Senior Governor and Chair’s of the Council of Governors Committees have met with the Chairman throughout the year to ensure Governors are kept up to date on any developments within the Trust. Council of Governors’ roles and responsibilities and working arrangements The Governors are elected as part of an independent process managed by Electoral Reform Services, in line with the Trust constitution. The Council of Governors meets at least 3 times per year in public and fulfils its legal obligations as outlined in the constitution. In addition to Council meetings, there are three Committees – Membership, Communications and Fundraising, Patient Experience and Strategy. The Council of Governors has approved its standing orders which includes the development of its sub committees. Each of these committees has identified an Executive and a NonExecutive Director for advice purposes. In addition the Director of Nursing & Quality has a specific role in supporting and working with the Council of Governors playing a key role in developing links between the Board committees and the Council of Governors ensuring that key strategic themes are being addressed. During this financial year the Auditors were not requested to provide any non-audit services. Composition of the Council of Governors The Council is made up of 28 Governors, public, staff and nominated organisations, serving a fixed three year term of office.

Declaration of Interests A copy of the Register of Interests is available via the Trust website www.ccotrust.nhs.uk, alternatively you can contact Andrea Leather on 0151 482 7799 to request a copy.

Board of Directors Board of Directors – Composition, backgrounds and interests Non Executive members of the Board including the Chairman are appointed (and removed) by the Council of Governors at a General Meeting, as outlined in the constitution. The Nomination / Appointment Committee for the Non Executive Directors is made up of the Chairman (or the Vice Chairman if the Chairman is standing for re-appointment) and at lease three elected Governors. This Nomination Panel is responsible for appointing Non Executive Directors by identifying appropriate candidates through a process of open competition, which takes account of the policy maintained by the Council of Governors and the skills and experience required. The Nominations Committee followed the re-appointment process described in the Trust’s constitution for the re-appointment of Alan White and Carol Eastwood in October 2009. These re-appointments were approved by the Council of Governors at its meeting in October 2009. The Senior Independent Director – Douglas Buchanan was appointed as such on 5th April 2006.

Declaration of Interests The Chairman has no other significant commitments. A copy of the Register of Interests is available via the Trust website www.ccotrust.nhs.uk, alternatively you can contact Andrea Leather on 0151 482 7799 to request a copy. Board & Committee meetings Appropriate Board Roles and Structure The Trusts Board and Committee structure has been developed around the Integrated Governance Model defined in the Integrated Governance Handbook 2005. During 2009 it was concluded that two of the previous ‘task and finish’ committees; Vision 2020 and Human Resources had in the main fulfilled and met their purpose therefore there was no longer a requirement for the Committees to continue. Any outstanding areas of work have been transferred to other Committees for ongoing monitoring. 33 34


It is good corporate governance to have regular reviews of the Committee structure to ensure that the organisation has in place appropriate structures to enable it to fulfil its purpose and the effectiveness of the Trust’s system of internal control. In January 2010 the Board approved a revised committee structure as follows: x x x x x x

Monthly Board meetings, except August (all meetings are closed to the public) Audit Committee (5 times per year) Integrated Governance Committee (bi-monthly) Remuneration Committee (Ad hoc) Nominations Committee (Ad hoc) ‘Task and Finish’ Committees: q Information Management & Technology (IM&T – quarterly) q Research & Development (at least 2 per year).

The Board delegates specific functions to its committees identified within their terms of reference. The terms of reference of all Board committees are reviewed regularly as part of the annual review of the Constitution and Corporate Governance Manual (standing orders and standing financial instructions) and updated to reflect changes in the operating environment and best practice. Throughout 2009/10 the Board embedded a system whereby there is a review of each Board meeting focusing on the content and performance of the Board agenda and the discussions and challenge. Performance evaluation of the Chair is undertaken by the Vice Chair/Senior Independent Director who then reviews the results with the nominations committee of the Council of Governors. The Chair undertakes the performance evaluations of the non-executive directors. In addition, to enable Governors to observe the performance of the NEDS, the NEDs attend the Council of Governors meetings and during 2009/10 the Trust Board has invited Governors to attend the Trust Board and the Audit Committee. It is the responsibility of the Chief Executive to review the performance of the executive directors. Board Development Following the learning Review carried out in 2008/09 this year has seen the implementation of the resulting Board development programme. This has been developed to reflect the needs of the directors and to respond to the changes in the national context. This is demonstrated by one Board development session concentrating on the national quality agenda and the Boards responsibility in relation to quality. In light of the above, the Trust considers that it operates a balanced and unified Board with particular emphasis on achieving an appropriate balance of skills and experience. This is reviewed as part of the Board development programme, as well as whenever a vacancy arises.

Membership Membership is open to any individual who is over the age of 16, is entitled under the constitution to be a member of one of the public constituencies or the staff constituencies, and has completed the relevant application form. Our staff membership operates on an ‘opt out’ basis. As with staff all volunteers (with service longer than 12 months) are automatically members unless they choose to ‘opt out’. The term ‘staff’ includes third party service providers to the hospital eg domestics and porters. If members wish to contact their individual Governor or a Director they can do so by contacting Andrea Leather, Corporate Governance Manager on 0151 482 7799 or email andrea.leather@ccotrust.nhs.uk or governor@ccotrust.nhs.uk There is a ‘members only’ section available on the CCO website. 37

* The Trust set a target within its Annual Plan 2009/10 to focus the recruitment of new members on those under the age of 50 whilst maintaining the public membership with no fewer than 5,500. As outlined in the table above, the number of public members has continued to grow with 493 new members joining the Trust. A large proportion of our members come from our patient population. The number of public members identified as ‘leaving’ is predominantly due to members dying (69 out of 299) rather than opting to stop being a member. This is a significant improvement on previous years. The majority of the remaining 230 have been picked up as being members who have moved home without notifying the Trust. Membership strategy The Membership, Communications and Fundraising committee is responsible for reviewing and implementing the Membership Strategy. Within the review of the strategy, the Committee will ensure it encompasses any new guidance contained within the Monitor Code of Governance. Public Interest Disclosures The Trust has in place a full range of HR policies to support staff and advise managers. The Trust engages in formal and informal consultation with staff to ensure a partnership approach is in place. Formal consultation primarily occurs via the Trust’s JCNF (Joint Consultative and Negotiating Forum) and the LNC (Local Negotiating Forum). Start of Year Events are held with the Chief Executive and Executive Directors to address staff directly when any service changes are proposed (e.g. our plans for a satellite radiotherapy development). In addition the Trust Board engages staff through the Patient Safety Campaign leadership rounds where 38

39


Executive and Non Executive Directors visit all departments on a rotational basis. Staff are informed about policy changes via the monthly Team Brief which is cascaded throughout the organisation. The Trust has developed an intranet with input from staff across the organisation and give staff access to a variety of information eg rumour board, policies and corporate documents, communications, human resources and learning development. During 2009/10 the Trust did not engage in any public consultations. At present the Trust is considering changing its name and is planning to go out to public consultation primarily with its members and key stakeholders on this proposal during 2010/11. Patient and Public Involvement Activity During 2009/10 the Trust has continued to engage with patients and stakeholders to further develop its services. Activities have included: x

The Trust circulated a copy of its Annual Plan for 2009/10 to all Overview and Scrutiny Committees (OSC’s)

x

The Trust continues to engage widely with regards to the Satellite Radiotherapy Centre, a recent example is a survey to decide the names of the treatment machines

x

The Trust has recently held a Patient experience ‘away day’. The information gathered will help us produce a robust Patient and Carer Experience Strategy incorporating the Patient and Public Involvement (PPI) Strategy

x

The Patient’s council has continued to assist us with: q Local surveys q Lay reading of new documentation q Engaging with current patients q Staff interviews

Since June 2007 the Trust has given every patient completing a course of treatment at the centre a patient experience feedback from to ensure that the Trust has ‘real time’ information about the patient’s experience which it can act upon. This has proved an effective method of monitoring our services and consolidating good work that goes on all around the Centre. Results are available on the Trust website. The views and experiences of people who use our services have influenced our service priorities and plans through a number of mechanisms. These include: x Our Patient and Public Involvement Strategy x Our Governors and members as a Foundation Trust x Patient and carer involvement in specific projects x Responding to complaints and praise. Specific examples of these include: x A major project for CCO is the building of a satellite radiotherapy centre in Liverpool. The prime driver for this initiative is responding to the experiences of our current patients and the length of time that it takes many of them to come to the centre for their daily radiotherapy treatment. In addition we have undertaken a number of PPI 39 40


x

projects to inform the development and have Governor involvement in the steering and sub groups The Trust works in partnership with its Council of Governors to develop its annual service plans which form the Trusts corporate objectives. Governors have the opportunity to suggest plans and priorities and form an integral part of the approval process for the plans.

Specific examples where patient experience has informed change includes: x The roll out of satellite chemotherapy clinics to reduce travel times for patients x Changes to the Trusts visiting times x Implementation of free tea and coffee for patients waiting for radiotherapy x Redesign of the car park to ensure dedicated free parking for patients and their carers x A privacy and Dignity survey in diagnostic imaging led to changes being made to the patient environment. CCOs stated core purpose is ‘Providing excellent care to people with cancer’. To achieve this we must provide care that is excellent in the view of the patients and carers that use our services. We aim to continue to increase patient and public involvement in the planning and delivery of our services. This is being done in the following ways: x Further development of our PPI strategy x Strong engagement with our Governors in developing our forward plans x Strengthened links with LINKS x Asking all patients who complete an episode of care to complete a ‘Patient feedback form’ which gives the Trust real time feedback. This information is also provided on our website x Engagement with our members directly and through our Governors x Wider stakeholder engagement including commissioner and cancer network involvement in our key projects such as our satellite radiotherapy centre x Engagement events with varied groups (Wirral deaf Society, South Sefton OSC, Clwyd patients council) Local Involvement Network (LINk) The Centre has established relationships with the local LINk groups, in particular Liverpool and Wirral and is looking forward to strengthening this relationship as the groups develop. Sickness Absence Data The Trust continues to drive robust working practices to support sickness absence management. Overall absence for 2009/10 increased slightly by 0.28% from our 2008/09 total figure with the top three reasons for absence being stress/anxiety, musclo-skeletal disorders and surgery.

Diagnosis

Pro-active engagement with our Occupational Health Provider ensures early diagnosis and support which enables us to support return to work as early as possible. Key changes to the traditional GP sick note system with the new “Fit for Work� notes will no doubt reduce the current referral process further in some of our future cases. We are committed to seeking new holistic approaches towards some of our high priority areas such as stress and anxiety. The Trust already has a Stress Management Policy and provides an Employee Assistance Programme for all staff and members of their household. This is a professional, confidential assistance service for any type of personal problem. To build on this support we will work on the recommendations of the Boorman Review to seek further measures and new initiatives to support the health and wellbeing of our staff throughout 2010. We will also continue to monitor and benchmark our sickness absence data against internal and external sources, utilising national statistics from The NHS Information Centre and manipulating data from our ESR system, to produce accurate sickness management statistics to enable managers to work closely with HR Business Partners to identify trends and employ preventative measures accordingly. Occupational Health Several groups of staff have health assessments on a regular basis. This enables any problems or issues to be highlighted and dealt with swiftly to prevent long term adverse effects on their health. Dependent upon the outcome referrals may be required to occupational health department for further advice. By ensuring such referrals are made in a timely manner the member of staff is seen and advised appropriately. Occupational health holds regular clinics on site and any issues raised are dealt with promptly. Dependent upon the workstation assessments and recommendations following OH advice when reasonably practicable, equipment may be purchased to reduce any impact on the employee within the workplace.

Health and Safety We have a pro-active approach to health and Safety and acknowledge our duty under the appropriate legislation to safeguard patients, staff and visitors. All staff groups have access to our specialist team comprising of health and safety, moving and handling, fire and security .In addition, advice is available from radiation protection, infection control and occupational health. As part of our pro-active approach an annual environmental risk assessment is completed by all departments to identify any potential risks and put controls in place to prevent were possible any injuries or illness to patients, staff and visitors. To support staff with knowledge and information for health and safety, fire, security and manual handling annual training sessions are provided for all staff groups. There were 60 reported staff accidents in 2009/2010 which fell into the following categories manual handling, needle stick, slips, trips, falls and burns. Regular reports on all accidents, dangerous occurrences and ill health are presented at our bimonthly health and safety committee and action plans are implemented. Serious Untoward Incidents In December 2009 the Trust formally reported details of a Serious Untoward Incident (SUI) relating to data loss. The data loss was reported to Monitor and the Information Commissioners Office (ICO) after two paper diaries containing abbreviated patient data went missing from the Delamere Day Case Unit in October\November 2009. The diaries were not located but have been replaced with a secure, electronic system. Following an investigation into the incident, which included a review of the Trust’s information governance policies and training arrangements, the ICO concluded that the no further action was required.

Equality and Diversity Clatterbridge Centre for Oncology respects and values the diversity of our patients, relatives, carers, visitors and staff. We are committed to providing our services that are appropriate, accessible, fair and culturally sensitive. We recognise that discrimination is an obstruction to the aims of the Trust, and therefore ensure that we have the appropriate processes and policies in place to ensure equality and diversity is incorporated into all aspects of the Trust's work. We will ensure that all our staff are well trained in respect of equality, diversity and antidiscriminatory behaviour and operate a zero tolerance of discriminatory behaviour, including bullying and harassment. The driving force behind our approach to promoting Equality and Diversity is the membership of the Equality and Diversity Steering Group, which is chaired by the Director of Nursing and Quality and comprises representation from across the Trust. The main aims are to ensure that the Trust, in meeting its social objectives works towards creating an environment that is inclusive, celebrates diversity and which does not discriminate on the grounds of gender, race, nationality, socio-economic background, disability, age, faith, religion, belief or sexual orientation.

The Single Equality Scheme is approved by the Trust Board and is published, along with employment monitoring statistics and the result of our equality impact assessments on the Trust website. The Trust has: x

A published Single Equality Scheme and action plan which is monitored at our Integrated Governance Board Committee. The section relating to Disability is planned to be further developed in early June 2010. A workshop will be held with representatives from patients, carers and staff who have a disability, are affected by a disability, or have a genuine interest to lead on and inform the creation of our Disability Equality Scheme (as part of the Single Equality Scheme) and action plan, which will be monitored on an annual basis An embedded system of impact assessment for strategies, policies and key documents Ensures training and awareness on equality and diversity ‘from Board to ward’ Regularly reviewed its membership to ensure diversity amongst those it is accountable to Regularly monitored its workforce for equality and diversity Routine environmental assessments including disability access audits Provision of patient information literature in a variety of formats and languages where required An estates strategy that encompasses areas such as disability requirements and privacy and dignity Providing targeted health promotion activities to schools re: smoking cessation reflecting the health inequalities challenges in our population Health promotion activities 2 ticks accreditation Promotion of equality, diversity and human rights is integral to the Trusts stated values, in particular ‘putting people first’. A key driver for the Trust in how it delivers its services very much promotes equality and diversity, this is the provision of care and treatment as close to the patients home as possible. CCO provides its chemotherapy services in local DGHs which helps to ensure equality of access for minority and hard to reach groups. This model of treatment has been further expanded this year. We are currently embarking on a major capital programme to build a satellite radiotherapy centre in Liverpool. The main driver for this is equality of access and reduced travel times (and costs) for patients and carers The Trust participates in the Merseyside and Cheshire Cancer Network health inequalities workstream.

The Trust is committed to increasing the influence of equality, diversity and human rights issues on the planning and delivery of the services. Our approach to this includes: x x x x x x

Utilisation of the NHS North West Equality Performance Improvement Toolkit to ensure we adopt best practice examples Utilising the NHS National Cancer Equality Initiative Ensuring our revised PPI strategy has a strong approach to engagement with all patient groups Improving the monitoring of service users and members to ensure our services reflect the population that we serve and that we have no service inequalities Further engagement with minority groups Further community engagement through our Governors 43 44

We are working in partnership with Greenbank College on an Olympic Inspire Mark accredited project. This entails working with young adults with cancer who have disabilities enabling them to return to sport or vocational activities in a safe and supported manner. What we learn from this patient group will be rolled out to other age groups with similar disabilities.

Performance against these targets will be monitored by the Equality and Diversity Steering Group, and reported quarterly to the Integrated Governance Committee. Equality & Diversity data Staff

Governance arrangements As described briefly above; since September 2009 CCO have set up a governance structure to ensure that sustainability becomes part of the core business of CCO. The structure involves the appropriate personnel being members of the Estates Steering Group. This group includes Executive membership with approval of its Estates Strategy at Board level. 44 45


Reporting is via Chair of the group to Executive Team and ultimately through to Board level for recommendation and approval of Estates and Sustainability issues as well as providing assurance for progress against all approved plans. High level strategy as well as detailed plans are also produced, reviewed and managed through the Senior Management and Departmental Heads with regards to operational ‘fit’ and achievement at grass roots level. Hence there is both a top down and bottom up approach to the management of Estates; the same will apply to sustainability in the future. Summary of Performance Area

Quality Report


An introduction from the Chief Executive Quality is at the heart of what all our staff aims to achieve for all the patients in our care. It is thanks to the professionalism, expertise and commitment of our staff that we are able to provide a high quality service. We have clearly defined our Core Purpose as providing excellent care to people with cancer. Our Vision is to provide outstanding cancer care through excellence in treatment, research, education and training. Our values, developed with our staff demonstrate our commitment to how we work: x Passionate about what we do x Putting people first x Achieving excellence x Committed to our future x Always improving our care. This year has seen the Trust take forward the aims and objectives of its Quality Strategy. The Trust Board has ensured that Quality is a key agenda item at each Board meeting and it monitors the delivery of the Trust’s priorities and initiatives identified in its first Quality Report (2008/09). The Trust Board has reviewed the information that it receives in relation to patient experience and has implemented a process where patient stories are included within the Board reports to enable Board members to hear about the real experiences of our patients. The Board has developed the information that it receives in relation to complaints with full details of each complaint received reported to the Board, not just trends and data. From 2010/11 we plan to also provide this full information to our Council of Governors. Throughout this year we have worked with our staff and our key stakeholders to continue to improve the quality of our services. This year has seen a number of key developments and challenges for the Trust including: x

We are pleased to report that we have reported full compliance with our requirements for delivering same sex accommodation (DSSA). Privacy and dignity has been further enhanced by the first stage of our ward refurbishment program with a marked increase in single rooms

x

A new challenge for the Trust this year has been the implementation of CQUINS (Commissioning for Quality and Innovation). We have worked closely with our commissioners and the cancer network to ensure that the CQUIN for 2009/10 leads to a real improvement in quality for patients. Our CQUIN enabled the first stage of the development of the Acute Oncology programme recommended in the National Chemotherapy Advisory Group report and the NCEPOD report Systemic Anti-Cancer Therapy; for better, for worse

x

We have made good progress with the objectives outlined in our Quality Strategy and have met all / almost all of our mandated targets. I am particularly pleased to be able to report again that we have had no cases of MRSA bacteraemia

x

A particular challenge this year has been the achievement of the 62 day cancer waiting time target and we have worked closely with the DH intensive support team to further deliver improvements in performance 50 50


x

In 2009 we received our performance rating from the Care Quality Commission and I am pleased to report that we received excellent for quality of services and excellent for use of resources for the 2nd year running. Our infection control inspection by the Care Quality Commission showed no breaches of our duties and we have scored consistently in the top 20% performing Trusts in both the annual staff and patient surveys. Whilst all of the questions in these surveys are important one particular staff survey question provides me with assurance of the quality of care. When staff were asked ‘if a friend or relative needed treatment, I would be happy with the standard of care provided by this Trust’ 94% replied yes. Our annual PEAT (Patient Environment Action Team) assessment has also demonstrated good performance with excellent ratings being given for environment, food and privacy and dignity.

As Chief Executive I am confident that the Trust provides a high quality service and that these Quality Accounts demonstrate this. To the best of my knowledge the information in these accounts are accurate. In summary, CCO has a good track record in delivering a quality service to our patients. We cannot rest on our laurels and as Chief Executive I have a personal commitment to lead the drive for continual quality improvement. We will continue to deliver against the objectives we have set and will continue to improve quality in the challenging times ahead.

Review of Quality Performance 2009/10 Our 2008/09 Quality report identified priorities for improving patient safety, experience and outcomes. Progress against these priorities is outlined below.

Improving Patient Safety Patient Safety First

The Trust has implemented a number of elements of the national Patient Safety First Campaign. The Trust Board has committed to lead on the establishment of Patient Safety Leadership Walkrounds to ensure that all staff members have the opportunity to raise any safety concerns directly with Board members. All executive and non-executive directors take part and during 2009/10 nine walkrounds took place in 9 clinical departments in the Trust. Issues raised during each walkround are summarised and a report is provided to each staff member who attended. Agreed actions are followed up and progress reported to the area 1 month and 4 months following the walkround. Examples of issues raised during the Patient Safety Leadership Walkrounds: Handwriting legibility on prescriptions - handwriting legibility on scripts was identified as a potential patient safety issue however checks are in place to prevent errors translating into patient harm and E-Prescribing, which will be implemented across the Trust in the coming months should eliminate this problem. Nurse staffing levels - staff highlighted that agency staff are not able to provide the full services provided by CCO nursing staff which adds to ward pressures and ultimately patient safety. The use of agency staff has greatly reduced since this walkround as many more nursing staff have been employed following the Trust Board’s approval of an increase in the staffing establishment. Feedback on the value of this approach has been very high from both staff and Board members. The second Patient Safety First initiative that the Trust has implemented is Intervention 2: Deterioration. This involves the Trust monitoring and reporting monthly on the number of Cardiac Arrest Calls; Number of rapid response Calls; percentage of patients with observations complete; percentage of trigger patients receiving an appropriate response. The Trust has been piloting the use of the SBAR tool and will include this in the monitoring and reporting for 2010/11. All results and trends are reviewed by the Acutely Unwell Steering group led by the Critical Care Nurse specialist to ensure any actions are taken forward. Examples of results include: Percentage of patients with observations complete: Using the Patient Safety First Campaign Chart Checker adapted for CCO, 30 sets of patient observations/MEWS records for each of the three in-patient wards are reviewed (by the wards) per month. In addition, each set of patient records reviewed during the monthly Global Trigger Tool review are assessed against the CCO Chart Checker.

The Critical Care Nurse Practitioner provided additional training to ward staff following the outcome of the initial GTT reviews and is monitoring the chart checker results closely along with carrying out independent MEWS audits. The monthly chart checker results from each of the three inpatient wards, all have shown an improvement since January 2010. The Trust has been focused over the last year in improving the quality of care for acutely ill patients and this initiative has formed a valuable piece of that work. Other elements have included: Improving the identification of deteriorating patients: Throughout the year we have worked hard to improve the skills and competencies of our nursing workforce. We have appointed a new role of Critical Care Clinical Nurse Specialist who has led a program of training and development. Six staff nurses attended an HDU course during the year and key staff undertook a work based training program at Aintree University NHS Foundation Trust to further develop skills in trachyostomy management. All ward nursing staff have undergone training in the use of an early warning system and our subsequent clinical audit has shown a clear improvement in patient monitoring. We have also invested in medical equipment to further improve the care of this vulnerable patient group including a high specification blood gas monitor. Implementation of the Global Trigger Tool The IHI Global Trigger Tool (GTT) for Measuring Adverse Events provides an easy-to-use method for accurately identifying adverse events (harm) and measuring the rate of adverse events over time. Tracking adverse events over time is a useful way to tell if changes being made are improving the safety of the care processes. A review of 8 records per month is undertaken which reflects the size of the Trust. The use of the tool this year has proved to be valuable in identifying a baseline of harm incidents to enable the Trust to focus on areas for improvement. All harm events identified have been temporary. Areas that have been identified through the use of the tool are: x x x x x

Delays Opiate toxicity PEG infections Cannulation Pressure ulcer.

All of these areas have triggered initiatives to reduce harm. Nursing Quality Metrics The quality of nursing care is critical to the safety of patients admitted to the Trust. This year we have focused on the development of a series of nursing metrics which are both of meaning to our patient population and the nature of the nursing care that we provide, and, where possible, provides us with an opportunity to benchmark against other hospitals. We have been reviewing the available tools and in particular the Nursing Assessment and Accreditation Scheme (Salford Royal NHS Foundation Trust) , the Advancing Quality Metrics and the recently published High Impact Changes for Nursing by the Department of Health, and have developed Quality in Nursing at Clatterbridge (QINC). The QINC tool will be piloted 53 53


for 6 months from May 2010 with a full Matron’s audit of all wards every three months. From July 2010 the project will focus on identifying specific areas for targeted improvements. From the preliminary work these are expected to be: x x x

Nursing documentation Management of pressure ulcers, aiming for zero tolerance Improvements to pain assessment implementing the new EPAT tool.

Improving Patient Experience Understanding the experience of patients in our care is fundamental to being able to identify areas for improvement. The use of the national patient surveys provides a valuable mechanism to review the whole Trust’s performance but does not provide the level of detail at departmental level. During 2009/10 we have continued to roll out our ‘real time’ patient survey program. This program provides every patient with the opportunity to complete a survey form at any point in their stay with us. The information gathered from the survey is reported both at Trust and departmental level. The questions have been developed in conjunction with our Patient Council to ensure that they are meaningful. Each department is required to review its performance and develop action plans for improvement. It is important that patients see the results of the survey and therefore these are displayed in each clinical area. A summary of the key questions is also put on our website. These can be found at http://www.ccotrust.nhs.uk During this time period we received a total of 2968 forms, compared to 2352 forms for the previous year. The chart below gives an example of some the 29 questions we ask and their results for the last 12 months.

Problem areas that have been identified through the survey are around waiting times. 49% of patients who were asked about waiting times felt that they sometimes had to wait; only 20% never had to wait. This question was changed in January this year from ‘I had to wait’ to ‘I had to wait more than twenty minutes after my appointment time’ to enable us to identify where the problem is occurring on a regular basis. Patients often tell us that they don’t mind waiting if they are kept informed of why they are waiting and the approximate delay. During this year 45% of patients asked felt they were always kept informed. Parking remains a problem. Patients tell us that they are grateful for the free parking, but at certain times of the day it is impossible to find a space in the patient car parking area. We are currently undertaking a car-park accessibility audit which will hopefully lead to some improvements by deterring staff and professional visitors from parking in the patient’s parking area. A key focus for the Trust this year has been the development of a satellite radiotherapy centre in Liverpool. Many of our patients have long travel times and may need to receive treatment every day for up to 6 weeks. To improve the experience of receiving radiotherapy for these patients this centre is being built with the main driver being to reduce travel times and improve access. The centre will open early 2011. Patients and governors have been involved in every stage of the project to ensure that the design of the facility optimises the patient experience. Improving Clinical Effectiveness PROMS During 2009/10 we have commenced working on the development of validated cancer specific PROMS (Patient Reported Outcome Measures) tools that will enable us to proactively monitor patient reported outcomes and to develop action plans to further improve outcomes. There are currently no nationally validated tools for cancer. Initial scoping work has been undertaken for us by Keele University and we hope to have tools available to pilot during 2010/11.

The Trust has been put forward via the Merseyside and Cheshire Cancer Network to take part in phase 2 of the Quality in Cancer Nursing – Nurse Sensitive Outcome Indicators for Ambulatory Chemotherapy project being run by the National Nursing Research Unit, Kings College London and the University of Southampton. Mortality reviews The Trust Board regularly monitors the Trust’s HSMR (hospital standardised mortality rate). Whilst our HSMR rate is low we feel that it is important to strive to understand the cause of patient death in our population. To enable us to achieve this we have commenced this year a detailed review of 30 day mortality following chemotherapy, both radical intent and palliative treatments, over a 12 month period. This is led by the Medical Director. Following the baseline work completed in 2009/10 this project will be further developed. The aim is to present data displayed as control charts, with a 3 monthly moving average, that will identify trends, both by regime and consultant performance.

Priorities for improvement The Trust Board has agreed the following priorities for quality improvement for 2010/11. The Board will continue to monitor performance against its quality improvement strategy through a quarterly quality report to the Board. In identifying areas for improvement the Trust has undertaken an engagement process with: its staff through its senior managers via the development of departmental Delivery Plans; its Governors at a Board and Governors away day in March; with its lead Commissioner and Cancer Network at its contract quality meetings and with patient and public representatives at a patient experience Workshop in March 2010. Improving Patient Safety Objective: Development of patient safety KPIs including an action planning framework for improvement to include minimisation of avoidable patient harm and elimination of ‘never events’ Rationale for Selection: Improvements in patient safety remain a high priority for the Trust. Focusing on specific KPIs will enable the Trust to set clear objectives and priorities for improvement. Selection and monitoring of KPIs will be generated from workstreams and engagement processes that were in place in 2009/10. The KPIs will include: Patient Safety KPI QINC (Quality in Nursing at Clatterbridge)

Objective: Roll out of the Acute Oncology Program across the cancer network. Rationale for Selection: The National Chemotherapy Advisory Group report and the subsequent NCEPOD report identified that an acute oncology service will provide assessment within 24 hours to acutely ill patients, thereby reducing the wait for investigations and specialist treatment and resulting in improved clinical outcome, reduced LOS and improved patient experience. The full implementation of acute oncology has been supported by the CQUINS development for both 2009/10 and 2010/11. Acute Oncology Appointment of all medical oncology consultant posts.

Statement from NHS Wirral As lead commissioner, NHS Wirral is committed to commissioning high quality services from Clatterbridge Centre for Oncology and we take very seriously our responsibility to ensure that patients’ needs are met by the provision of safe, high quality services. The Quality Account, in our opinion, accurately reflects quality performance in 2009/10 and highlights future priorities agreed with commissioners for 2010/11. We are reassured that the Trust Board has reviewed service risks following reported NHS failures such as Mid Staffordshire in order to learn lessons from other organisations. We welcome the Trust Board ensuring that Quality is a key agenda item at each Board meeting and including patient stories within Board reports. We are also pleased that the Trust has established Patient Safety Leadership Walkrounds. We look forward to NHS Wirral senior staff participating in Walkrounds in 2010/11. We note that the use of agency staff has greatly reduced following the Trust Board’s approval of an increase in the nurse staffing establishment. We are also pleased with the development of the Quality in Nursing at Clatterbridge (QINC) tool and look forward to receiving regular reports on the impact it is having on improving patient care particularly in areas highlighted in the Department of Health High Impact Changes for Nursing. We congratulate the Trust on there being no cases of MRSA bacteraemia to report and welcome the continued focus on reducing other Health Care Associated Infections. We have been concerned about performance against the standard for 62 day maximum waits for cancer treatment and are aware that the Trust has worked closely with the Department of Health intensive support team to further deliver improvements in performance. We look forward to seeing future performance is on target. We are pleased to see the progress in capturing near real time patient experience in a structured way to inform action plans and measure improvements as perceived by patients. We have been concerned at patient survey reports highlighting unacceptable waits in Outpatient departments. We will be very interested to monitor the impact of redesigning clinic systems in 2010/11 and hope to hear of improved patient experience through the local CQUIN initiative. The declaration of full compliance in delivering same sex accommodation as at 31st March is most welcome. We have a close working relationship with Clatterbridge Centre for Oncology and meet regularly to receive reports which demonstrate the Trust’s performance against a range of quality measures and discuss and agree remedial action where this is deemed necessary. We have collaborated with clinicians and senior managers from the Trust to develop a shared understanding of clinical priorities for quality improvement for inclusion in our 2010/11 contract. We have been very keen to capture feedback from patient experience of services to 71 71


inform how we measure quality improvement in future and welcome the Trust sharing this information with us. We are reassured to see from this Quality Account the high profile given to continuous quality improvement in Clatterbridge Centre for Oncology. NHS Wirral looks forward to continuing to work in partnership with the Trust to assure the quality of services commissioned in 2010/11. Kathy Doran Chief Executive NHS Wirral

Auditors’ Report to the Council of Governors of Clatterbridge Centre for Oncology NHS Foundation Trust We have audited the financial statements of Clatterbridge Centre for Oncology NHS Foundation Trust for the year ended 31 March 2010 under the National Health Service Act 2006. These comprise, the Statement of Comprehensive Income, the Statement of Financial Position, the Cash flow Statement, the Statement of Changes in Taxpayers’ Equity and the related notes. These financial statements have been prepared under the accounting policies relevant to NHS Foundation Trusts set out therein. This report is made solely to the Council of Governors of Clatterbridge Centre for Oncology NHS Foundation Trust (‘the Trust’), as a body, in accordance with the National Health Service Act 2006. Our audit work has been undertaken so that we might state to the Council of Governors of the Trust, as a body, those matters we are required to state to it in an auditor’s report and for no other purpose. To the fullest extent permitted by law, we do not accept or assume responsibility to anyone other than the Trust and the Trust's Governors as a body, for our audit work, for this report, or for the opinions we have formed.

Respective responsibilities of directors and auditors As described on page 78 the Accounting Officer is responsible for the preparation of the financial statements in accordance with directions issued by Monitor. Our responsibilities, as independent auditors, are established by statute, the Code of Audit Practice issued by Monitor and our profession’s ethical guidance. We report to you our opinion as to whether the financial statements give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the Trust and its income and expenditure for the year ended 31 March 2010 We review whether the statement on internal control on pages 82 to 88 reflects compliance with Monitor’s guidance issued in the NHS Foundation Trust Financial Reporting Manual. We report if it does not meet the requirements specified by Monitor or if the statement is misleading or inconsistent with other information we are aware of from our audit of the financial statements. We are not required to consider, nor have we considered, whether the directors’ statement on internal control covers all risks and controls. We are also not required to form an opinion on the effectiveness of the Trust’s corporate governance procedures or its risk and control procedures. Our review was not performed for any purpose connected with any specific transaction and should not be relied upon for any such purpose.

We planned and performed our audit so as to obtain all the information and explanations which we considered necessary in order to provide us with sufficient evidence to give reasonable assurance that the financial statements are free from material misstatement, whether caused by fraud or other irregularity or error.

Statement of Internal Control Scope of responsibility As Accounting Officer, I have responsibility for maintaining a sound system of internal control that supports the achievement of the NHS foundation trust’s policies, aims and objectives, whilst safeguarding the public funds and departmental assets for which I am personally responsible, in accordance with the responsibilities assigned to me. I am also responsible for ensuring that the NHS foundation trust is administered prudently and economically and that resources are applied efficiently and effectively. I also acknowledge my responsibilities as set out in the NHS Foundation Trust Accounting Officer Memorandum. The purpose of the system of internal control The system of internal control is designed to manage risk to a reasonable level rather than to eliminate all risk of failure to achieve policies, aims and objectives; it can therefore only provide reasonable and not absolute assurance of effectiveness. The system of internal control is based on an ongoing process designed to identify and prioritise the risks to the achievement of the policies, aims and objectives of Clatterbridge Centre for Oncology NHS Foundation Trust, to evaluate the likelihood of those risks being realised and the impact should they be realised, and to manage them efficiently, effectively and economically. The system of internal control has been in place in Clatterbridge Centre for Oncology NHS Foundation Trust for the year ended 31 March 2010 and up to the date of approval of the annual report and accounts. Capacity to handle risk The Trust is committed to providing high quality services in a safe and secure environment. As Chief Executive I have overall responsibility and accountability for all aspects of risk management within the Trust, making sure that the organisational structure and resources are in place to ensure this occurs. Senior leadership is delegated through the directors and operationally through departments and committee structures. This covers all aspects of governance relating to our service delivery, including: infection control, clinical care, radiation protection, Standards for Better Health, Care Quality Commission Regulatory Requirements, finance, contracts, information technology, health and safety, cancer standards peer review, research, and employment practices. The Audit Committee has overarching responsibility for ensuring that risk is managed effectively within the organisation. This role is supported by Board committees that oversee specific aspects of the risk portfolio. The system provides a central steer whilst supporting local ownership in managing and controlling risks to which the Trust may be exposed. These systems are further supported by the evaluation of the effectiveness of risk management and control systems and implementation of recommendations from external assessments to promote both organisational and individual learning and the dissemination of good practice within the Trust. Bespoke learning and development is provided according to individual role requirements such as Trust Board members, senior managers and all staff.

The Risk Management Strategy is underpinned by a number of risk related policies and procedures which provide further information and guidance to staff in the management of risk. The Trust is committed to continually reviewing its risk management process and endeavours to ensure that it learns from best practice. A key example of this is the adoption of the Integrated Governance Model as defined in the Integrated Governance Handbook (DH 2005). The risk and control framework The key elements of the Trust’s Risk Management Strategy are to manage and control identified risks, whether clinical, non-clinical or financial, appropriately. This is achieved through a sound organisational framework which promotes early identification of risk, the coordination of risk management activity, the provision of a safe environment for staff and patients, and the effective use of financial resources. It ensures that staff are aware of their roles and responsibilities and outlines the structures and processes through which risk is assessed, controlled and managed. The Trust Board approved a revised Risk Management Strategy in February 2010. The Trust Board determines the risk appetite of the Trust. Levels of acceptable risk are determined by working within agreed Trust policies and procedures. An acceptable risk is one which has been accepted after proper evaluation, with all the possible controls in place. Risks are identified through feedback from many sources such as, formal risk assessment, the assurance framework, incident reporting, audit data, complaints, legal claims, patient and public feedback, stakeholder/partnership feedback and internal/external assessment. The Trust Board has endorsed the Quality Strategy, the Operational Budget Plan and the Risk Management Strategy. In addition, a range of Trust-wide policies and procedures further supports the risk management processes. The Trust has embedded an assurance framework at a corporate level and across all areas of the organisation. The corporate assurance framework identifies those risks deemed as strategically significant to the Trust’s objectives, the controls in place to manage / mitigate those risks and the assurances received by the Trust. All Board members have been involved in the development, identification, quantification and prioritisation of the risks and the subsequent action planning to address areas for improvement. Significant risks are escalated to the Trust Board as they arise and subsequent updates are made to the Assurance Framework. Each high scoring risk has an individual risk mitigation plan developed by the responsible Executive Director. Each directorate is also required to develop a directorate level assurance framework to support the delivery of the directorate objectives. This further embeds the organisation wide risk aware culture. The Trust has appointed an Executive Director as the Senior Information Risk Officer. Risks relating to data are assessed through the completion of the Department of Health’s Information Governance Toolkit. The Trust has assessed itself as securing a score of 94% (a “Green” rating) against the Department of Health’s Information Governance Toolkit in 2009/10; The Trust achieved Level 2 against the requirements of the Information Governance Statement of Compliance as required by Monitor’s Compliance Framework, where relevant information risks identified in the course of the Trust’s incident reporting processes are investigated and lessons learned. The implementation of the Trust’s IM&T Strategy, including the application of data security principles continues to be subject to scrutiny at the Information Management & Technology (IM&T) Committee of the Trust Board. 82 83

The Trust identified a risk in year relating to the management of paper diaries following a data loss incident. Risk mitigations were put in place following a detailed review. The Information Commissioners office was fully informed and concluded that no further action was required. With respect to public involvement, the Trust has both a Patient & Public Involvement Strategy and a Membership Strategy. The latter has been implemented and 5671 public members have been recruited to date. Elections for places within the Council of Governors are undertaken each year in conjunction with the Electoral Reform Services and the governance infrastructure was in place to enable the Trust to operate effectively as an NHS Foundation Trust from 1st August 2006. This work strengthens the input of patients, the public and staff into the strategic decision making of the Trust. The risk and control framework continues to be reviewed and developed.

Continuous improvements will be made in 2010/11 in order to continue to meet all standards and indicators To keep under review any new and emerging risks that have been identified during 2009/10 such as maintaining income flows and key relationships with commissioners and implications of Payment by Results for specific cancer related services, the development of the proposed satellite radiotherapy centre at Walton/Aintree. To identify future risks which may affect the Trust such as the proposal by commissioners to develop a second satellite facility at the Royal Liverpool Hospital with the provider being chosen through competitive tender and the challenging funding outlook which may adversely impact on the income secured from the Trust’s commissioners. The Trust Board will continue to review all significant risks monthly at its Board meeting ensuring risk mitigation plans are in place and that the Board approves any changes to the assessment of risk based on the impact and the efficacy of the controls in place. During 2009/10 the structure of the Board papers was further revised to ensure that each paper has an equality impact assessment completed. This continues to ensure that equality impact assessments are integrated into core Trust business. In 2010 the Trust will undertake a detailed equality impact assessment of the satellite development at Aintree/Walton and any further planned developments such as the development of the Strategic Outline case for the re-location of CCO.

The Foundation Trust is fully compliant with the core Standards for Better Health.

1. Accounting policies and other information Monitor has directed that the financial statements of NHS foundation trusts shall meet the accounting requirements of the NHS Foundation Trust Annual Reporting Manual which shall be agreed with HM Treasury. Consequently, the following component financial statements: x

Balance Sheet

x

Income statement

x

Statement of changes in equity and

x

Cash flow statement

Together with these accounting policies, have been prepared in accordance with the 2009/10 NHS Foundation Trust Annual Reporting Manual issued by Monitor. The accounting policies contained in that manual follow International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) and HM Treasury’s Financial Reporting Manual to the extent that they are meaningful and appropriate to NHS foundation trusts. The accounting policies have been applied consistently in dealing with items considered material in relation to the accounts. 1.1 Income Income in respect of services provided is recognised when, and to the extent that, performance occurs and is measured at the fair value of the consideration receivable. The main source of income for the trust is under contracts from commissioners in respect of healthcare services. Where income is received for a specific activity that is to be delivered in the following financial year, that income is deferred. Income from the sale of non-current assets is recognised only when all material conditions of sale have been met, and is measured as the sums due under the sale contract. 1.2 Expenditure Short – term Employee Benefits Salaries, wages and employment-related payments are recognised in the period in which the service is received from employees. The cost of annual leave entitlement earned but not taken by employees at the end of the period is recognised in the financial statements to the extent that employees are permitted to carry-forward leave into the following period. Pension costs NHS Pension Scheme Past and present employees are covered by the provisions of the NHS Pensions Scheme. The scheme is an unfunded, defined benefit scheme that covers NHS employers, general practices and other bodies, allowed under the direction of the Secretary of State, in England and Wales. It is not possible for Clatterbridge Centre for Oncology NHS Foundation Trust to determine its share of the underlying scheme liabilities. Therefore, the scheme is accounted for as a defined contribution scheme. 93 94


Clatterbridge Centre for Oncology NHS Foundation Trust Accounts for the year ended 31st March 2010

Employers pension cost contributions are charged to operating expenses as and when they become due. Additional pension liabilities arising from early retirements are not funded by the scheme except where the retirement is due to ill-health. The full amount of the liability for the additional costs is charged to operating expenses at the time the trust commits itself to the retirement, regardless of the method of payment. Expenditure on other goods and services Expenditure on goods and services is recognised when, and to the extent that they have been received, and is measured at the fair value of those goods and services. Expenditure is recognised in operating expenses except where it results in the creation of a non-current asset such as property, plant and equipment. 1.3 Property, Plant and Equipment Recognition Property, Plant and Equipment is capitalised where: x

It is held for use in delivering services or for administrative purposes;

x

It is probable that future economic benefits will flow to, or service potential be provided to, the Trust;

x

It is expected to be used for more than one financial year;

x

The cost of the item can be measured reliably and is at least ÂŁ5,000; or

x

It forms part of a group of assets which individually have a cost of more than ÂŁ250, collectively have a cost of at least ÂŁ5,000, and where the assets are functionally interdependent, they had broadly simultaneous purchase dates, are anticipated to have simultaneous disposal dates and are under single managerial control; or

x

It forms part of the initial setting-up cost of a new building or refurbishment of a ward or unit, irrespective of individual or collective cost.

Measurement Valuation On initial recognition, all Property, Plant and Equipment assets are measured at cost, representing the costs directly attributable to acquiring or constructing the asset and bringing it to the location and condition necessary for it to be capable of operating in the manner intended by management. Any costs arising from financing the construction of the asset are not capitalised but are charged to the income and expenditure account in the year to which they relate. Land and buildings are revalued every five years. A three yearly interim valuation is also carried out. Valuations are carried out by professionally qualified, external valuers in accordance with the Royal Institute of Chartered Surveyors (RICS) Appraisal and Valuation Manual. The valuations are carried out on the Modern Equivalent Asset basis which assumes that buildings would be replaced by structures utilising current building techniques and materials. Land is valued on an existing use basis primarily determined by market valuation. 94 95


Clatterbridge Centre for Oncology NHS Foundation Trust Accounts for the year ended 31st March 2010

Assets in the course of construction are valued at cost and are valued by professional valuers as part of the five or three-yearly valuation or when they are brought into use. Plant and equipment (including IT equipment) used in the Trust tends to be highly specialised in nature with no reliable means of ascertaining a market value. In accordance with IAS 16, these assets are carried at Depreciated Replacement Cost (DRC) and are not subject to revaluation. Subsequent expenditure Where subsequent expenditure enhances an asset beyond its original specification, the directly attributable cost is added to the asset’s carrying value. Where a component of an asset is replaced, the cost of replacement is capitalised if it meets the criteria for recognition above. The carrying amount of the part replaced is de-recognised. Depreciation Items of Property, Plant and Equipment are depreciated over their remaining useful economic lives in a manner consistent with the consumption of economic or service delivery benefits. Freehold land is considered to have an infinite life and is not depreciated. Property, Plant and Equipment that has been reclassified as “Held for Sale”, ceases to be depreciated upon reclassification. Assets in the course of construction, and residual interests in off-balance sheet PFI contract assets, are not depreciated until the asset is brought into use or reverts to the Trust, respectively. Revaluation and impairment Increases in asset values arising from revaluations are recognised in the revaluation reserve, except where, and to the extent that, they reverse an impairment previously recognised in operating expenses, in which case they are recognised in operating income. Decreases in asset values and impairments are charged to the revaluation reserve to the extent that there is an available balance for the asset concerned, and thereafter are charged to operating expenses. Gains and losses recognised in the revaluation reserve are reported in the Statement of Comprehensive Income as an item of “other comprehensive income”. De-recognition Assets intended for disposal are reclassified as “Held for Sale” once all of the following criteria are met: x The asset is available for immediate sale in its present condition subject only to terms which are usual and customary for such sales x The sale must be highly probable i.e.: q Management are committed to a plan to sell the asset; q An active programme has begun to find a buyer and complete the sale; q The asset is being actively marketed at a reasonable price; q The sale is expected to be completed within 12 months of the date of classification as “Held for Sale”; and q The actions needed to complete the plan indicate it is unlikely that the plan will be dropped or significant changes made to it. 95 96


Clatterbridge Centre for Oncology NHS Foundation Trust Accounts for the year ended 31st March 2010

Following re-classification, the assets are measured at the lower of their existing carrying amount and their “fair value less costs to sell”. Depreciation ceases to be charged and the assets are not revalued, except where the “fair value less costs to sell” falls below the carrying amount. Assets are de-recognised when all material sale contract conditions have been met. Property, plant and equipment which is to be scrapped or demolished does not qualify for recognition as “Held for Sale” and instead is retained as an operational asset and the asset’s economic life is adjusted. The asset is de-recognised when scrapping or demolition occurs. Donated Assets Donated non-current assets are capitalised at their current value on receipt and this value is credited to the donated asset reserve. Donated non-current assets are valued and depreciated as described above for purchased assets. Gains and losses on revaluations are also taken to the donated asset reserve and, each year, an amount equal to the depreciation charge on the asset is released from the donated asset reserve to the income and expenditure account. Similarly, any impairment on donate assets charged to the income and expenditure account is matched by a transfer from the donated asset reserve. On sale of donated assets, the net book value of the donated asset is transferred from the donated asset reserve to the Income and Expenditure Reserve. Private Finance Initiative (PFI) transactions PFI transactions which meet the IFRIC 12 definition of a service concession, as interpreted in HM Treasury’s FReM, are accounted for as “on-Statement of Financial Position” by the Trust. The underlying assets are recognised as Property, Plant and Equipment at their fair value. An equivalent financial liability is recognised in accordance with IAS 17. The annual contract payments are apportioned between the repayment of the liability, a finance cost and the charge for services. The finance charge is calculated using the effective interest rate for the scheme. The service charge is recognised in operating expenses and the finance cost is charged to Finance Costs in the Statement of Comprehensive Income. 1.4 Intangible assets Recognition Intangible assets are non-monetary assets without physical substance which are capable of being sold separately from the rest of the Trust's business or which arise from contractual or other legal rights. They are recognised only where it is probable that future economic benefits will flow to, or service potential be provided to the Trust, and where the cost of the asset can be measured reliably, and is at least £5,000. Where internally generated assets are held for service potential, this involves a direct contribution to the delivery of services to the public. Internally generated intangible assets Internally generated goodwill, brands, mastheads, publishing titles, customer lists and similar items are not capitalised as intangible assets. 96 97


Clatterbridge Centre for Oncology NHS Foundation Trust Accounts for the year ended 31st March 2010

Expenditure on research is not capitalised. Expenditure on development is capitalised only where all of the following can be demonstrated: x The project is technically feasible to the point of completion and will result in an intangible asset for sale or use x The Trust intends to complete the asset and sell or use it x The Trust has the ability to sell or use the asset x How the intangible asset will generate probable future economic or service delivery benefits e.g. the presence of a market for it or its output, or where it is to be used for internal use, the usefulness of the asset x Adequate financial, technical and other resources are available to the Trust to complete the development and sell or use the asset and x The Trust can measure reliably the expenses attributable to the asset during development. Software Software which is integral to the operation of hardware e.g. an operating system is capitalised as part of the relevant item of Property, Plant and Equipment. Software which is not integral to the operation of hardware e.g. application software, is capitalised as an intangible asset. Measurement Intangible assets are recognised initially at cost, comprising all directly attributable costs needed to create, produce and prepare the asset to the point that it is capable of operating in the manner intended by management. Subsequently intangible assets are measured at fair value. Increases in asset values arising from revaluations are recognised in the revaluation reserve, except where, and to the extent that, they reverse an impairment previously recognised in operating expenses, in which case they are recognised in operating income. Decreases in asset values and impairments are charged to the revaluation reserve to the extent that there is an available balance for the asset concerned, and thereafter are charged to operating expenses. Gains and losses recognised in the revaluation reserve are reported in the Statement of Comprehensive Income as an item of “other comprehensive income”. Intangible assets held for sale are measured at the lower of their carrying amount or “fair value less costs to sell”. Amortisation Intangible assets are amortised over their expected useful economic lives in a manner consistent with the consumption of economic or service delivery benefits.

Clatterbridge Centre for Oncology NHS Foundation Trust Accounts for the year ended 31st March 2010

1.5 Government grants Government grants are grants from Government bodies other than income from primary care trusts or NHS trusts for the provision of services. Grants from the Department of Health, including those for achieving three star status, are accounted for as Government grants as are grants from the Big Lottery Fund. Where the Government grant is used to fund revenue expenditure it is taken to the Statement of Comprehensive Income to match that expenditure. Where the grant is used to fund capital expenditure the grant is held as deferred income and released to the operating income over the life of the asset in a manner consistent with the depreciation charge for that asset. 1.6 Inventories Inventories are valued at the lower of cost and net realisable value. The cost of inventories is measured using the weighted average cost method. 1.7 Financial instruments and financial liabilities Recognition Financial assets and financial liabilities which arise from contracts for the purchase or sale of non-financial items (such as goods or services), which are entered into in accordance with the Trust’s normal purchase, sale or usage requirements, are recognised when, and to the extent which, performance occurs i.e. when receipt or delivery of the goods or services is made. Financial assets or financial liabilities in respect of assets acquired or disposed of through finance leases are recognised and measured in accordance with the accounting policy for leases described at 1.9 below. All other financial assets and financial liabilities are recognised when the Trust becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the instrument. De-recognition All financial assets are de-recognised when the rights to receive cashflows from the assets have expired or the Trust has transferred substantially all of the risks and rewards of ownership. Financial liabilities are de-recognised when the obligation is discharged, cancelled or expires.

Classification and Measurement Financial assets are categorised as: x ‘Fair Value through Income and Expenditure’ x Loans and receivables or x ‘Available-for-sale financial assets’. 98 99


Clatterbridge Centre for Oncology NHS Foundation Trust Accounts for the year ended 31st March 2010

Financial liabilities are classified as: x ‘Fair value through Income and Expenditure’ or x ‘Other Financial liabilities’. Financial assets and financial liabilities at ‘Fair Value through Income and Expenditure’ Financial assets and financial liabilities at ‘fair value through income and expenditure’ are financial assets or financial liabilities held for trading. A financial asset or financial liability is classified in this category if acquired principally for the purpose of selling in the short-term. Derivatives are also categorised as held for trading unless they are designated as hedges. Derivatives which are embedded in other contracts but which are not ‘closely-related’ to those contracts are separated-out from those contracts and measured in this category. Assets and liabilities in this category are classified as current assets and current liabilities. These financial assets and financial liabilities are recognised initially at fair value, with transaction costs expensed in the income and expenditure account. Subsequent movements in the fair value are recognised as gains or losses in the Statement of Comprehensive Income. Loans and receivables Loans and receivables are non-derivative financial assets with fixed or determinable payments with are not quoted in an active market. They are included in current assets. The Trust’s loans and receivables comprise: current investments, cash at bank and in hand, NHS debtors, accrued income and ‘other debtors’. Loans and receivables are recognised initially at fair value, net of transactions costs, and are measured subsequently at amortised cost, using the effective interest method. The effective interest rate is the rate that discounts exactly estimated future cash receipts through the expected life of the financial asset or, when appropriate, a shorter period, to the net carrying amount of the financial asset. Interest on loans and receivables is calculated using the effective interest method and credited to the income and expenditure account. Available-for-sale financial assets Available-for-sale financial assets are non-derivative financial assets which are either designated in this category or not classified in any of the other categories. They are included in long-term assets unless the Trust intends to dispose of them within 12 months of the balance sheet date. Available-for-sale financial assets are recognised initially at fair value, including transaction costs, and measured subsequently at fair value, with gains or losses recognised in reserves and reported in the Statement of Comprehensive Income as an item of “other comprehensive income”. When items classified as ‘available-for-sale’ are sold or impaired, the accumulated fair value adjustments recognised in reserves are transferred from reserves and recognised in “Finance Costs” in the Statement of Comprehensive Income. 99 100


Clatterbridge Centre for Oncology NHS Foundation Trust Accounts for the year ended 31st March 2010

Other financial liabilities All other financial liabilities are recognised initially at fair value, net of transaction costs incurred, and measured subsequently at amortised cost using the effective interest method. The effective interest rate is the rate that discounts exactly estimated future cash payments through the expected life of the financial liability or, when appropriate, a shorter period, to the net carrying amount of the financial liability. They are included in current liabilities except for amounts payable more than 12 months after the balance sheet date, which are classified as long-term liabilities. Interest on financial liabilities carried at amortised cost is calculated using the effective interest method and charged to Finance Costs. Interest on financial liabilities taken out to finance Property, Plant and Equipment or intangible assets is not capitalised as part of the cost of those assets. Determination of fair value For financial assets and financial liabilities carried at fair value, the carrying amounts are the full value of cash in the balance sheet. Impairment of financial assets At the balance sheet date, the Trust assesses whether any financial assets, other than those held at ‘fair value through income and expenditure’ is impaired. Financial assets are impaired and impairment losses are recognised if, and only if, there is objective evidence of impairment as a result of one or more events which occurred after the initial recognition of the asset and which has an impact on the estimated future cashflows of the asset. For financial assets carried at amortised cost, the amount of the impairment loss is measured as the difference between the asset’s carrying amount and the present value of the revised future cash flows discounted at the asset’s original effective interest rate. The loss is recognised in the Statement of Comprehensive Income and the carrying amount of the asset is reduced through the use of an allowance account. Trade Receivables A provision for impairment against a trade receivable is established when the Trust considers it will not be able to collect all amounts due according to the original terms of the contract. The Trust will take the following factors into consideration when determining a trade receivable to be impaired: x significant financial difficulties of the debtor x probability that the debtor will enter bankruptcy or financial reorganisation and x default or delinquency in payment (more than 60 days overdue) The carrying amount of the asset is reduced through the use of an allowance account for trade receivables (Bad Debt Provision), and the amount of the loss is recognised in the Statement of Comprehensive Income. If the trade receivable becomes uncollectible, it is

100 101


Clatterbridge Centre for Oncology NHS Foundation Trust Accounts for the year ended 31st March 2010

written off against the Bad Debt Provision. Any subsequent recoveries of amounts previously written off are credited to the Statement of Comprehensive Income. 1.8 Leases Finance Leases Where substantially all risks and rewards of ownership of a leased asset are borne by the Trust, the asset is recorded as Property, Plant and Equipment and a corresponding liability is recorded. The value at which both are recognised is the lower of the fair value of the asset or the present value of the minimum lease payments, discounted using the interest rate implicit in the lease. The implicit interest rate is that which produces a constant periodic rate of interest on the outstanding liability. The asset and liability are recognised at the inception of the lease, and are de-recognised when the liability is discharged, cancelled or expires. The annual rental is split between the repayment of the liability and a finance cost. The annual finance cost is calculated by applying the implicit interest rate to the outstanding liability and is charged to Finance Costs in the Statement of Comprehensive Income. Operating Leases Other leases are regarded as operating leases and the rentals are charged to operating expenses on a straight-line basis over the term of the lease. Operating lease incentives received are added to or subtracted from the lease rentals as appropriate and charged to operating expenses over the life of the lease. Leases of land and buildings Where a lease is for land and buildings, the land component is separated from the building component and the classification for each is assessed separately. Leased land is treated as an operating lease. 1.9 Provisions The Trust provides for legal or constructive obligations that are of uncertain timing or amount at the balance sheet date on the basis of the best estimate of the expenditure required to settle the obligation. Where the effect of the time value of money is significant, the estimated risk-adjusted cash flows are discounted using HM Treasury’s discount rate of 2.2% in real terms. Clinical negligence costs The NHS Litigation Authority (NHSLA) operates a risk pooling scheme under which the Trust pays an annual contribution to the NHSLA, which, in return, settles all clinical negligence claims. Although the NHSLA is administratively responsible for all clinical negligence cases, the legal liability remains with the Trust. The total value of clinical negligence provisions carried by the NHSLA on behalf of the Trust is disclosed at note 22.

Non-clinical risk pooling The Trust participates in the Property Expenses Scheme and the Liabilities to Third Parties Scheme. Both are risk pooling schemes under which the trust pays an annual contribution to the NHS Litigation Authority and in return receives assistance with the costs of claims arising. The annual membership contributions, and any ‘excesses’ payable in respect of particular claims are charged to operating expenses when the liability arises. 1.10 Contingencies Contingent assets (that is, assets arising from past events whose existence will only be confirmed by one or more future events not wholly within the Trust’s control) are not recognised as assets, but are disclosed in note 26 where an inflow of economic benefits is probable. Contingent liabilities are not recognised, but are disclosed in note 26 unless the probability of a transfer of economic benefits is remote. Contingent liabilities are defined as: x Possible obligations arising from past events whose existence will be confirmed only by the occurrence of one or more uncertain future events not wholly within the Trust’s control or x Present obligations arising from past events but for which it is not probable that a transfer of economic benefits will arise or for which the amount of the obligation cannot be measured with sufficient reliability. 1.11 Public dividend capital Public dividend capital (PDC) is a type of public sector equity finance based on the excess of assets over liabilities at the time of establishment of the predecessor NHS trust. HM Treasury has determined that PDC is not a financial instrument within the meaning of IAS 32. A charge, reflecting the forecast cost of capital utilised by the Trust, is paid over as public dividend capital dividend. The charge is calculated at the rate set by HM Treasury (currently 3.5%) on the average relevant net assets of the Trust. Relevant net assets are calculated as the value of all assets less the value of all liabilities, except for donated assets and cash held with the Office of the Paymaster General / Government Banking Service. In accordance with the requirements laid down by the Department of Health (as the issuer of PDC), the dividend for the year is calculated on the actual average net assets as set out in the ‘pre-audit’ version of the annual accounts. The dividend thus calculated is not revised should any adjustment to net assets occur as a result of the audit of the annual accounts. 1.12 Value Added Tax Most of the activities of the Trust are outside the scope of VAT and, in general, output tax does not apply and input tax on purchases is not recoverable. Irrecoverable VAT is charged to the relevant expenditure category or included in the capitalised purchase cost of fixed assets. Where output tax is charged or input VAT is recoverable, the amounts are stated net of VAT.

1.13 Corporation Tax The Trust is a Health Service Body within the meaning of s519A ICTA 1988 and accordingly is exempt from taxation in respect of income and capital gains within categories covered by this. There is a power for the treasury to disapply the exemption in relation to specified activities of a Foundation Trust (s519A (3) to (8) ICTA 1988). Accordingly, the Trust is potentially within the scope of corporation tax in respect of activities, which are not related to, or ancillary to, the provision of healthcare, and where the profits there from exceed £50,000 per annum. 1.14 Foreign exchange The functional and presentational currencies of the Trust are sterling. A transaction which is denominated in a foreign currency is translated into the functional currency at the spot exchange rate on the date of the transaction. Where the Trust has assets or liabilities denominated in a foreign currency at the balance sheet date: x Monetary items (other than financial instruments measured at “fair value through income and expenditure”) are translated at the spot exchange rate on 31 March; x Non-monetary assets and liabilities measured at historical cost are translated using the spot exchange rate at the date of the transaction; and x Non-monetary assets and liabilities measured at fair value are translated using the spot exchange rate at the date the fair value was determined. Exchange gains or losses on monetary items (arising on settlement of the transaction or on re-translation at the balance sheet date) are recognised as income or expense in the period in which they arose. Exchange gains or losses on non-monetary assets and liabilities are recognised in the same manner as other gains and losses on these items. 1.15 Third party assets Assets belonging to third parties (such as money held on behalf of patients) are not recognised in the accounts since the Trust has no beneficial interest in them. However, they are disclosed in a separate note to the accounts in accordance with the requirements of HM Treasury’s Financial Reporting Manual.

2. Operating segments The Trust considers that all of its activities fall within the single category of the provision of healthcare services. This is an aggregate of all the specialty services provided by the Trust, both at its main Clatterbridge site, and at clinics held at other hospitals in the region. The large majority of the Trust’s income originates from within the UK Government. The main expenses incurred are the cost of staff involved in the production or support of healthcare services, together with the related supplies and overheads necessary to establish this production. The business activities which earn revenue and incur expenses are therefore of one broad combined nature and because of this, it is considered appropriate to aggregate these activities into the single segment of Healthcare. The Trust’s operating results are reviewed on a monthly basis by its Board of directors which is chaired by the Chairman and includes executive directors as well as senior professional non-executive directors. The Trust Board reviews the financial position of the Trust as a whole – rather than any individual components included in the totals – in its roles of making decisions and allocating resources. This process implies a single operating segment under IFRS 8. The monthly finance report prepared for the Trust Board contains detailed performance and activity information together with expenditure reports covering all areas of the Trust. All of this information is summarised into single Income & Expenditure, Balance Sheet and Cash Flow reports for the whole Trust. The Board acting in its role as Chief Operating decision maker therefore only considers one segment of healthcare in its decision-making process. The single segment of healthcare has therefore been identified consistent with the core principle of IFRS 8 which is to enable users of the financial statements to evaluate the nature and financial effects of business activities and economic environments. 2.1 Income from activities comprises Elective income Non-elective income Outpatient income A & E income Other NHS clinical income * Total income at full tariff PBR claw back Income from Activities Private patients Other non-protected clinical income * * Other non-protected income covers income from Welsh commissioners

Real Increase in CETV This reflects the increase in CETV effectively funded by the employer. It takes account of the increase in accrued pension due to inflation, contributions paid by the employee (including the value of any benefits transferred from another scheme or arrangement) and uses common market valuation factors for the start and end of the period.

valued are the member's accrued benefits and any contingent spouse's pension payable from the scheme. A CETV figure is a payment made by a pension scheme or arrangement to secure pension benefits in another pension scheme or arrangement when the member leaves a scheme and chooses to transfer the benefits accrued in their former scheme. The pension figures shown relate to the benefits that the individual has accrued as a consequence of their total membership of the pension scheme, not just their service in a senior capacity to which disclosure applies. The CETV figures and the other pension details include the value of any pension benefits in another scheme or arrangement which the individual has transferred to the NHS pension scheme. They also include any additional pension benefit accrued to the member as a result of their purchasing additional years of pension service in the scheme at their own cost. CETVs are calculated within the guidelines and framework prescribed by the Institute and Faculty of Actuaries.

4.5 Pension costs Past and present employees are covered by the provisions of the NHS Pensions Scheme. Details of the benefits payable under these provisions can be found on the NHS Pensions website at www.pensions.nhsbsa.nhs.uk. The scheme is an unfunded, defined benefit scheme that covers NHS employers, General Practices and other bodies, allowed under the direction of the Secretary of State, in England and Wales. The scheme is not designed to be run in a way that would enable NHS bodies to identify their share of the underlying scheme assets and liabilities. Therefore, the scheme is accounted for as if it were a defined contribution scheme: the cost to the NHS Body of participating in the scheme is taken as equal to the contributions payable to the scheme for the accounting period. The scheme is subject to a full actuarial valuation every four years (until 2004, every five years) and an accounting valuation every year. An outline of these follows: a) Full actuarial (funding) valuation The purpose of this valuation is to assess the level of liability in respect of the benefits due under the scheme (taking into account its recent demographic experience), and to recommend the contribution rates to be paid by employers and scheme members. The last such valuation, which determined current contribution rates was undertaken as at 31 March 2004 and covered the period from 1 April 1999 to that date. The conclusion from the 2004 valuation was that the scheme had accumulated a notional deficit of £3.3 billion against the notional assets as at 31 March 2004. However, after taking into account the changes in the benefit and contribution structure effective from 1 April 2008, the scheme actuary reported that employer contributions could continue at the existing rate of 14% of pensionable pay. On advice from the scheme actuary, scheme contributions may be varied from time to time to reflect changes in the scheme’s liabilities. Up to 31 March 2008, the vast majority of employees paid contributions at the rate of 6% of pensionable pay. From 1 April 2008, employee’s contributions are on a tiered scale from 5% up to 8.5% of their pensionable pay depending on total earnings. b) Accounting valuation A valuation of the scheme liability is carried out annually by the scheme actuary as at the end of the reporting period by updating the results of the full actuarial valuation. Between the full actuarial valuations at a two-year midpoint, a full and detailed member data-set is provided to the scheme actuary. At this point the assumptions regarding the composition of the scheme membership are updated to allow the scheme liability to be valued. The valuation of the scheme liability as at 31 March 2008, is based on detailed membership data as at 31 March 2006 (the latest midpoint) updated to 31 March 2008 with summary global member and accounting data. The latest assessment of the liabilities of the scheme is contained in the scheme actuary report, which forms part of the annual NHS Pension Scheme (England and Wales) Resource Account, published annually. These accounts can be viewed on the NHS Pensions website. Copies can also be obtained from The Stationery Office. c) Scheme provisions The scheme is a “final salary” scheme. Annual pensions are normally based on 1/80th of the best of the last 3 years pensionable pay for each year of service. A lump sum normally equivalent to 3 years pension is payable on retirement. Annual increases are applied to pension payments at rates defined by the Pensions (Increase) Act 1971, and are based on changes in retail prices in the twelve months ending 30 September in the previous calendar year. On death, a pension of 50% of the member’s pension is normally payable to the surviving spouse.

Clatterbridge Centre for Oncology NHS Foundation Trust Accounts for the year ended 31st March 2010 Early payment of a pension, with enhancement, is available to members of the scheme who are permanently incapable of fulfilling their duties effectively through illness or infirmity. A death gratuity of twice final year’s pensionable pay for death in service, and five times their annual pension for death after retirement, less pension already paid, subject to a maximum amount equal to twice the member’s final year’s pensionable pay less their retirement lump sum for those who die after retirement, is payable. For early retirements other than those due to ill health the additional pension liabilities are not funded by the scheme. The full amount of the liability for the additional costs is charged to the statement of comprehensive income at the time the Trust commits itself to the retirement, regardless of the method of payment. The scheme provides the opportunity to members to increase their benefits through money purchase additional voluntary contributions (AVCs) provided by an approved panel of life companies. Under the arrangement the employee/member can make contributions to enhance an employee's pension benefits. The benefits payable relate directly to the value of the investments made.

The NHS Foundation Trust is required to comply and remain within a prudential borrowing limit. This is made up of two elements: x The maximum cumulative amount of long-term borrowing. This is set by reference to the four ratio tests set out in Monitor’s Prudential Borrowing Code. The financial risk rating set under Monitor’s Compliance Framework determines one of the ratios and therefore can impact on the long-term borrowing limit and x The amount of any working capital facility approved by Monitor. The Trust has a prudential borrowing limit of £14.5 million in 2009/10 ( 2008/09 : £12.7 million) and has borrowed £5 million in 2009/10 (2008/09: £Nil). The Trust did not have a Working Capital Facility in place during 2009/10(2008/09:£Nil). Further information on the NHS Foundation Trusts’ Prudential Borrowing Code and Compliance Framework can be found on the website of Monitor, the Independent Regulator of Foundation Trusts.

37. Financial Instruments IFRS 7, IAS 32 and 39, Accounting for Derivatives and Other Financial Instruments, requires disclosure of the role that financial instruments have had during the period in creating or changing the risks an entity faces in undertaking its activities. Clatterbridge Centre for Oncology NHS Foundation Trust actively seeks to minimise its financial risks. In line with this policy, the Trust neither buys nor sells financial instruments. Financial assets and liabilities are generated by day-to-day operational activities rather than being held to change the risks facing the Trust in undertaking its activities. As allowed by IFRS 7, IAS 32 and 39 debtors and creditors that are due to mature or become payable within 12 months from the balance sheet date have been omitted from all disclosures other than the currency profile. Liquidity risk The Trust's income is negotiated under three year agency purchase contracts with local Primary Care Trusts, which are financed from resources voted annually by Parliament. The Trust receives such contract income in accordance with Payment by Results (PBR), which is intended to match the income received in year to the activity delivered in that year by reference to a National / Local Tariff unit cost. The Trust receives cash each month based on an annually agreed level of contract activity and there are periodic corrections made to adjust for the actual income due under the contract. The Trust’s activity has remained ahead of plan during 2009/10, which has contributed to an increase in cash holdings such that a working capital facility is not required. The Trust presently finances its capital expenditure from internally generated funds. In addition, the Trust can borrow, both from the Department of Health Financing Facility and commercially to finance capital schemes. Financing is drawn down to match the spend profile of the scheme concerned and the Trust is not, therefore, exposed to significant liquidity risks in this area. Interest rate risk The only asset or liability subject to fluctuation of interest rates is cash holdings at the Government Banking Service and at a UK high street bank. The £5 million loan from the Department of Health Financing Facility has been taken on a fixed rate basis to avoid any risk from interest rate fluctuations. Clatterbridge Centre for Oncology NHS Trust is not, therefore, exposed to significant interest rate risk. Note 29.1 and note 29.2 show the interest rate profiles of the Trust's financial assets and liabilities. Foreign currency risk The Trust has negligible foreign currency income, expenditure, assets or liabilities. Credit Risk The Trust has considered credit risk under IFRS 7, and concluded that this note is not applicable to the Trust.

38. Auditors Liability The auditor’s liability for losses in connection with the external audit is not limited.

39. Third Party Assets The Trust held £nil cash at bank and in hand at 31 March 2010 which relates to monies held by Trust on behalf of patients.
