Recap and reflection on 2015/16
4. Understanding the needs of our
580k population
The gap in life expectancy between the most and least deprived men in
Sheffield is 9.8 years and 6.9 years for women – no change for 10 years!
25-30% of people admitted to hospital have a mental
health condition which in many cases isn't treated..
The causes in life expectancy between least and most deprived in sheffield:
Men - Cancer 32.1%, Circulatory disease 27.3%, Respiratory Disease 13.5%,
Women – Cancer 35.6%, Respiratory Disease 21.5%, Circulatory disease 19.5%,
People wait too long for emergency and elective
care – outside of national standards.
The CCG allocation uplift for 2016/17 was 2.2% National
average 3.4% - 0.8% in real terms
The assessed combined efficiency challenge across the health
and social care system taking into account demand pressures,
tariff efficiency, trust stretch CIP targets, other loss of income is
£96m, leaving a net efficiency challenge of £75m.
Sheffield City Council required to find £50m savings this year.
£50m delivered last year.
We know we have a financial problem
We know what contributes to our poor outcomes in health inequalities
We know where are services do not provide support and care at the standards people expect.
The care they do receive does not deliver the
outcomes other health systems enjoy.
The gap in healthy life expectancy is a gap of 22
years for men and for women a gap of 22.5
years between the most and least deprived
5. What do the people of Sheffield say?
I find it hard to find my
way around all the variety
of services – or even to
know if what I need is
actually provided by
someone
I have little control
over the care I do
or don’t receive
My psychological
needs are not met
as part of care for
my physical needs
Services often aren’t
available at night or
weekends like they
are during the week
Why don’t services plan in
advance – surely they should
know if I get unwell I’ll
struggle to cope but don’t
necessarily want or need to
go into hospital
Why can’t I just
have one care
plan?
If things go wrong
it’s difficult to
receive the care I
might need quickly
enough
We have to
constantly repeat
information from
one person to
another

six weeks reducing their level of support
required

People Keeping Well

Key areas of work for 2016/17
10. • Active Support and Recovery

stay at home
– Establish GPs working in groups to release more
time to proactively plan care for complex patients
– Agree escalation plans with patients to mean they
are able to better prevent escalation of their
condition
– Improve the coordination of post acute discharge
support.
Key areas of work for 2016/17
11. • Ongoing Care
– Deliver an integrated process of assessment of
ongoing care need across health and social care
– Simplify the administration of care packages
which will enable a culture change and more joint
assessments
– Develop a new assessment process which
supports patients in hospital and allows discharge
based on health need.
Future models of care
12. • We want feedback.
• We need to be ambitious
• Does what is proposed do what is
required?
