Common use of Drivers for Change Clause in Contracts

Drivers for Change. The following section details the need for change as identified in the Strategic Assessment (included in Appendix 1) and Initial Agreement (IA) as approved by the Scottish Government Capital Investment Group in October 2018. The project team have reviewed the drivers for change in the context of the existing situation and confirmed that these remain valid. Increased future service demand due to population growth East Calder is experiencing significant population growth and the Medical Practice cannot meet the service requirements of the growing population. The practice is already experiencing population growth from the Calderwood development and this is predicted to increase significantly. Time from Initial Agreement to occupation of a new facility will take circa 4 years. Services cannot be delivered locally based on local patient demand, but instead will need to be based on where beyond the local community it is possible to deliver services.

Drivers for Change. A variety of national strategies outline the way forward for Health and Social Care Services and have been considered in the development of local Fife Strategies.  Commission on the Future Delivery of Public Services (The following section details Christie Report) (June 2011)  2020 Vision for Health and Social Care (September 2011)  Healthcare Quality Strategy (2012)  A National Clinical Strategy for Scotland (February 2016)  Health and Social Care Delivery Plan (December 2016)  Property Asset Management Strategy (2017)  NHS in Scotland 2016 – Audit Scotland Report (October 2016) Local  Health and Social Care Partnership Strategic Plan for Fife 2016-19 (May 2016)  NHS Fife Clinical Strategy (2016-21)  NHS Fife Estates Rationalisation Strategy (2017)  Local Delivery Plan (2017) Another key driver locally is the proposed expansion in house building in Lochgelly. The preceding sections have provided the detailed narrative in support of the demonstrable cause and effect of the need for change and investment. The table below (page 51) summarises this information. Service redesign enablement issues Existing physical capacity is unable to deliver essential baseline change and re-design (before any assessment of future growth). Local health inequality issues will continue to cause issues for the local population if this proposal is not implemented now . Service capacity related issues Existing capacity is unable to cope with future projections of demand. Short-term service sustainability will be at risk if this proposal isn’t implemented now. Clinical functionality (capacity) issues Aside from primary clinical capacity, existing facilities lack the number and range of support areas necessary to deliver safe and effective services. A lack of essential support areas represents a real and unacceptable risk to the Board in key areas such as identified HAI and patient safety that can only be addressed through significant investment. Clinical functionality (configuration) issues Existing facilities fall far below the required standards in terms of how they are configured and laid out. Physical characteristics of the Strategic Assessment building prevents safe and effective patient care: small treatment rooms below minimum standards. Existing facility configuration and layout also presents unacceptable risks for the Board as well as poor local performance and functional in-efficiency.

Existing facility configuration and layout presents unacceptable risks, as well as poor local performance, functional in-efficiency and suboptimal patient experience. Wheelchairs, mobility scooters and double buggies cannot access parts of the building, including the waiting area. The waiting areas are too small. Premises are functionally inadequate and compromise pro-active patient care. No scope exists to re-organise parts of the service to improve the experience.

This section identified the practice requires ‘business need’ in relation to expand the current arrangements described in section 2.1. These were discussed at the Architecture & Design Scotland (A&DS) facilitated workshop to develop the project design statement. A wide range of stakeholders including clinical and managerial staff along with community representatives were involved in a workshop to describe the Primary healthcare team difference between ‘where we are now’ and ‘where we want to be’. Existing service arrangements are affected by lack of clinical support service facilities.

The facilities available, 100% occupancy, combined with significant increase in populationpopulation change, restrict the ability of the parties to transfer deliver the full range of integrated services locally. Enable earlier access to primary proactive and anticipatory care through local delivery via integrated seamless service across health and work effectively across social care. This will reduce referrals to other services. Care will be driven by patient need rather than limitations on capacity. Existing configuration, as a result of a circa 1970’s building, which has been modified and extended with a ‘best fit’ approach means poor accommodation e.g. service users who rely on wheelchair access or have a mobility problem have extreme difficulty in both accessing and traversing the facility.

The care provided will be driven by patient need rather than limitations in capacity Existing service arrangements affected by lack of clinical support service facilities. The current service delivery model is unable to support group based on local activities. Services proposals include group based activities in e.g., mental health and speech and language therapy. [Ref 1 in SA ] Deliver group based activities locally. e.g., a key strand of NHS Fife’s Clinical Strategy is to reduce health inequalities by reconfiguring services and resources so that there is equity of access to services across Fife and across all patient demand, but instead groups. Care should be provided at home or as close to home as possible. Delivering services in a group environment will need to allow a greater number of NHS Fife residents be based on where beyond the local community it is possible to deliver services.
