Working Procedures. This documentation is the specific collection of protocols that outline exactly how the systems of your business or your job will operate. Ninety-five percent of your procedures will follow a 1-2-3 step format. The other 5% will follow an open, “narrative” format. We don’t recognize that recurring personal pain is not often the result of a flawed world, but more usually the result of our own flawed personal systems—systems we can repair.” NHS activity has grown every year since records began (at an average of 3.3% a year). Over the last 9 years (between 2009/10 and 2018/19) the number of attendances in A&E increased by 4.3 million; the number of GP appointments have risen from 222 million in 1995 to 308 million in 2018/19; and the number of outpatient attendances has increased by almost 36 million since 2009/10 Finally, we plan to bring forward measures that contribute to improved quality and safety in the NHS, including placing the Health Services Safety Investigations Body on a statutory footing; establishing a statutory medical examiners system; and allowing the Medicines and Healthcare products Regulatory Agency to set up national medicines registries. We are also putting in place legislation to enable the implementation of comprehensive reciprocal healthcare agreements with countries around the world. Next steps

Happiness is not found in the control we have over others. It’s found in the control we have over the moment-to-moment trajectory of our own lives, and more exactly—here we get to the root of things—the control of the personal systems that are ours to adjust and maintain.” (Sam: much of Carpenter’s thinking is influenced by Stoicism and echoes what William B. Irvine writes in A Guide to The Good Life : ““There are things over which we have complete control, things over which we have no control at all, and things over which we have some but not complete control.”) The reforms within these legislative proposals will remove the current procurement rules which apply for NHS and public health commissioners when arranging healthcare services. They will do this by creating the powers to remove the commissioning of these services from the scope of the Public Contracts Regulations 2015, as well as repealing Section 75 of the Health and Social Care Act 2012 and the Procurement, Patient Choice and Competition Regulations 2013.If each component of an organization is nearly flawless, the organization as a whole will be nearly flawless.”

Quality of care improvements. As of 2020, around 94% of GP practices rated good or outstanding by the Care Quality Commission (CQC), around 82% for NHS mental health core services and 85% of adult social care providersThe Department of Health and Social Care’s paper, busting bureaucracy: empowering frontline staff by reducing excess bureaucracy in the health and care system in England, sets out the government’s strategy for reducing excess bureaucracy. These actions are being taken forward through a variety of different projects, some led by the department, some by regulators and some by other bodies across the health and care system. Whilst we can do a lot to reduce bureaucracy through changing processes and culture, the Department’s engagement demonstrated that a lot of bureaucracy is also generated by the legislation which in some places is no longer fit for purpose and we therefore want to use this opportunity to amend legislation to resolve these issues. If it is true that ‘a life’s mechanical functioning is a result of the systems that compose it,’ then getting what you want in life does not lie in manipulating outcomes; doing that is a distraction. Rather, getting what you want lies in delving deeper, in focusing on ‘working the systems’ that create the results.” How to Write Copy That Sells: The Step-By-Step System for More Sales, to More Customers, More Often by Ray Edwards

On safety and quality: we will bring forward measures to put the Healthcare Safety Investigation Branch (HSIB) on a statutory footing; to enable us to improve the current regulatory landscape for healthcare professionals as needed; to establish a statutory medical examiner system within the NHS for the purpose of scrutinising all deaths which do not involve a coroner and increase transparency for the bereaved, and to allow the Medicines and Healthcare products Regulatory Agency ( MHRA) to develop and maintain publicly funded and operated medicine registries so that we can provide patients and their prescribers, as well as regulators and the NHS, with the evidence they need to make evidence-based decisions. We will also be bringing forward measures to enable the Secretary of State to set requirements in relation to hospital food. And finally, we will take powers to implement comprehensive reciprocal healthcare agreements with countries outside the EEA and Switzerland (‘Rest of World countries’) – expanding our ability to support the health of our citizens when they travel abroad, subject to bilateral agreements. Delivering for patients, citizens and local populations – supporting implementation and innovation Second, we will use legislation to remove much of the transactional bureaucracy that has made sensible decision-making harder. The reforms will help enable us to use technology in a modern way, establishing technology as a better platform to support staff and patient care. Our proposals will maintain the distinct responsibilities those who fund services and those who provide care – which has been a cornerstone of efforts to ensure the best value for taxpayers for over thirty years – but sets out a more joined-up approach built on collaborative relationships, so that more strategic decisions can be taken to shape health and care for the decades to come. It’s about population health: using the collective resources of the local system, NHS, local authorities, the voluntary sector and others to improve the health of local areas. These legislative measures are intended to support improvements already under way in the NHS. They should be seen in the context of those broader reforms. And they are by no means the full extent of this government’s ambition for the nation’s health. We will also bring forward changes in social care, public health and mental health. We also remain committed to the sustainable improvement of adult social care and will bring forward proposals this year. The targeted public health interventions we have outlined here in relation to obesity and fluoridation, sit alongside our proposals for the future design of the public health system, including the creation of the National Institute for Health Protection ( NIHP). We are also bringing forward legislation to bring the Mental Health Act up to date, as set out in our white paper last month.We are therefore proposing to create provisions relating to the formation and governance of these joint committees and the decisions that could be appropriately delegated to them; and separately, allowing NHS providers to form their own joint committees. Both types of joint committees could include representation from other bodies such as primary care networks, GP practices, community health providers, local authorities or the voluntary sector. Collaborative commissioning What is the most important difference between the manager of a large successful business and the manager of a small struggling business? The first manages systems; the second copes with bad results.”

Further detail on our proposals for integrated care systems is set out at annex B, encompassing both the legislative and the non-legislative arrangements we intend to put in place. This is one of the most important elements of the legislative proposals, and we have sought to understand the hopes and concerns of a range of stakeholders in framing them. We have been particularly mindful of the importance of places within systems and of the enormous potential for joint working and innovation between local government and health partners that many of the vanguard ICSs have already demonstrated, while also recognising the distinct accountabilities of NHS bodies and local government. Reducing bureaucracy Turning effective innovations and bureaucracy busting into meaningful improvements for everyone, learning from innovations during COVID-19 NHS England response to the ICS consultation document and the government brings forward legislative proposals to support integration enable NHS England to delegate or transfer the commissioning of certain specialised services to ICSs singly or jointly, or for NHS England to jointly commission these services with ICSs if these functions are considered suitable for delegation or joint commissioning subject to certain safeguards. Specialised commissioning policy and service specifications will continue to be led at a national level ensuring patients have equal access to services across the country

COVID-19. COVID will continue to cause innumerable short, medium and long-term effects to healthcare in the UK and has shone a spotlight on inequalities In January, the Department of Health and Social Care and the Ministry of Justice published Reforming the Mental Health Act, a white paper which responds to the Independent Review of the Act, chaired by Professor Sir Simon Wessely in 2018. This forms our plan to modernise mental health legislation. There is a clear case for modernisation and change. The white paper sets out our proposals for a substantive programme of legislative reform, taking forward the government’s commitment to legislate to give people greater control over their treatment, and ensure they are treated with the dignity and respect they deserve. It also takes forward our commitment to improve how people with a learning disability and autistic people are treated in law and reduce the reliance on specialist inpatient services for these groups. We want everyone to have the opportunity to live a full and rewarding life in their communities and an end to perpetuated detentions without appropriate therapeutic inputs. We will take forward the NHS’s recommended approach by retaining existing patient choice rights and protections and bolstering the process for AQP arrangements. In addition, ICSs can be powerful drivers of patient centred approaches that provide greater choice and control to patients by transforming services around the specific needs of their populations. High-performing teams and organisations have vibrant cultures that create the conditions for people to perform at their very best. They are collaborative and open organisations, people focussed with processes that support rather than suffocate the efforts of individuals to do good work. And so, this white paper sets out our proposals for legislation to support and enable the health and care workforce, organisations and wider system to work together to improve, integrate and innovate. There are, then, 2 forms of integration which will be underpinned by the legislation: integration within the NHS to remove some of the cumbersome boundaries to collaboration and to make working together an organising principle; and greater collaboration between the NHS and local government, as well as wider delivery partners, to deliver improved outcomes to health and wellbeing for local people.
