How to do you do more with less
Shahida Naeem and Elena Karagyozova

2. Dundee Demographics Dundee has a population of Approx 148,000
Dundee population is expected to increase by approx. 6% by 2039
18% of the population is aged 65 or over
Expecting 46% increase in the over 75 population by 2039
Dundee has the 2nd lowest life expectancy in Scotland
37% of Dundee population live in SIMD quintile 1
Dundee has low employment rates and high numbers of benefit claimants

3. Map of Local Community Planning Partnership Areas in Dundee

4. IRF work background
Dundee was pilot site which commenced in 2009 and was based on data for and
The aim was to identify unit costs per individual at GP level and use this to reduce variation, improve pathways and services and make spending more efficient.
Allowed us to forecast expenditure and activity and identify unit costs for some services.
Identification of High Resource Individuals
District and community nursing data was a key gap.
Fear and sensitivity about sharing identifiable data across Health and Social Work.

5. Challenges to Health and Social Care Partnership
Increase in demand for services
Ageing population
Tightening financial environment
Difficulties in recruiting staff.

6. Why it is important to predict future demand?
Areas where predicting future demand is beneficial:
Assist with discussions about budget levels and identifying cost pressures
Assist with the development of longer - term financial plans
Assist with the development of strategies for prevention and early intervention to tackle health inequalities
Support the assessment of the sustainability and effectiveness of current service models

7. Locality Based Budgeting
Locality based budgeting project was undertaken to develop a methodology to enable Dundee IJB to allocate appropriate resources to each of the eight geographical localities in Dundee
The shift to locality budgets would enable the DIJB to plan better on how resources are spent in each locality
Understanding how the financial resources are currently spend in the localities in order to develop plans to improve outcomes in the LCPP areas.
Knowing which localities to target for prevention and early intervention
Knowing which localities to target for different service groups e.g. Learning Disability, Physical Disability and Mental health resources

8. Locality Based Budgeting
Other benefits:
Establish the current consumption of budgeted resources to each locality
Assist in the analysis of unit costing
Assist in identifying gaps in information provision
Assist in the development of locality strategies
To demonstrate the importance of locality based budgeting

9. Workshop 1 Aligning the budgets to meet demand and needs of the
population

10. Workshop Question 1
How your organisation approaches the alignment of budgets to meet demand?
How are budget allocations made between different geographic and/or service delivery levels?
What activity levels information you would use for allocation of budgets or what activity information you would want to be available?
What challenges have you faced?

11. Challenges we have faced
Difficulties with defining and obtaining activity levels information( i.e. what system are used to record the information and who to contact in retrieving activity information)
The analysis and predictions are as good as the quality of input of data
Difficulties obtaining activity level information for Health focussed services.
Information not available at the desired disaggregated level.
Activity information for certain services not available e.g. community based services.

12. Redesigning Services
Developing locality based budgeting framework is the building block to remodelling services
Development of home care tool in predicting future demand is a starting point for remodelling the service.
Using data for hospital bed days, Care homes and Home care for the year 2016/17
Assuming no change to Hospital beds and Care Home beds
Adding frailty due to old age and more people with complex health needs
Data and model used for the review of Home care services and managing resource within the Home care service

14. Workshop 2
Remodelling of Services to meet demand

15. Workshop Question 2 If you have been involved in remodelling services,
Which services have you remodelled
How did you go about this
What changes were made to the service.
If you have not been involved in remodelling services,
How would you go about this
What changes would you expect to be made
