Date of Meeting:  7 March 
Title of Report: Health & Social Care Partnership- Performance Report- FQ2
(July - Sept 2023/24) 
Presented by: TBC  
The Committee is asked to:
▪ Acknowledge performance for FQ2 (July - September 2023/24) and
improvement against the previous quarter, which is the second full
quarter of data for the Integrated Performance Management Framework
(IPMF). 
▪ Acknowledge supporting performance commentary from Heads of
Service and Service Leads 
▪ Acknowledge performance update on the National Health & Wellbeing
Outcomes and Ministerial Steering Group Integration Indicators
(Appendix 1)
▪ Note System Pressure Report for August 2023 (Appendix 2)
▪ Note Delayed Discharge Sitrep for August 2023 (Appendix 3) 
1. EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
This report details performance for FQ2 (July – September) 2023/24, the
performance outputs are taken from the new Integrated Performance
Management Framework (IPMF) reporting Dashboard with the focus on the
eight key service areas. 
Overall performance for FQ2 notes an increase in performance measures
reporting as on target against the previous quarter. Some commentary does
note discrepancy with some indicators and this is expected over the period of
implementation of the IPMF. 
The report details performance against each of the service areas and the 93
supporting Key Performance Indicators. Analysis of the KPI’s is supported by
performance commentary from the Heads of Service and Service Leads. It
should be noted that where risks and issues are identified these are supported
by operational governance to ensure mitigation and action. It should be further
noted that the performance scrutiny is undertaken by the Clinical and care
Governance Committee to ensure any actions required are noted to the IJB. 
National Health & Wellbeing Indicators performance is included alongside
performance and trend overview with regards to System Pressures and the
National Delayed Discharge Sitrep.

The use of the new performance Dashboard within SharePoint is designed to
offer a more focussed approach to the access and analysis of data, offering
scope for self-service.   
2. INTRODUCTION
The Integrated Performance Management Framework and associated
Performance Dashboard has been collaboratively developed with the
Strategic Leadership Team. 
The format of the IPMF Performance Dashboard covers all the areas
previously reported to both the Clinical & Care Governance Committee and
Integration Joint Board and recognises the need to ensure that local
performance and improvement activity is reported within the new digital
dashboard.  
This report includes an overview of the previous Health & Wellbeing Outcome
Indicators and Ministerial Steering Group- Integration measures. 
To support the use of the Dashboard, HSCP Performance & Information Team
analysts have been identified for each of the Heads of Service and Service
Leads to support and check performance across the eight key service areas.
This bespoke and individual analyst input and support will be available during
each quarter going forward and will work to build more robust performance
reporting with management commentary. 
Performance at this stage is monitored as either red or green to support
performance delivery within the new system.   
3. DETAIL OF REPORT 
The report details the HSCP (Health and Social Care Partnership)
performance for Financial Quarter 2 (July - Sept 2023/24) highlighting key
performance trends across the 93 Key Performance Indicators. 
In addition, the report includes performance updates from Heads of Service
and Service Leads across the eight service areas. Also included is an update
with regards to System Pressures (Appendix 2) and Delayed Discharges
(Appendix 3). 
Children & Families
The number of children recorded as looked after away from home is
influenced by the high rate of young people coming to us under the National
Transfer Scheme for Unaccompanied Asylum-Seeking Children. This
currently does not have a separate indicator in the IPMF which may be
addressed after annual review. If considered separately the young people
being transferred from Kent through this scheme and the number of young
people resident in Argyll & Bute in residential care is in fact two thirds of what
it was 2 years ago. Work needs to be carried out to report on this KPI in a
more sophisticated fashion and removal of young people transferred to us
under the NTS will demonstrate we are comfortably on track.

Progress on ‘money matters’ training has been slow but steady. It requires to
be recognised that Q2 is reporting the period which covers the summer
holidays and training activity routinely quietens at this time.
Progress on CAMHS (Children & Adolescent Mental Health Services) waiting
lists has been slow but steady.
There is a significant amount of training in relation to Violence Against Women
and Girls. Q2 reflects the quieter summer holiday period. It may be in the
future we will need to consider clearer phasing of targets within training related
KPIs (Key Performance Indicators). We are also addressing the effective
counting of those undertaking such training via e-modules. The Autumn
training period will see this KPI on target.
Progress on this KPI relating to Community Payback Orders has been
impacted by an increase in Court activity coupled with absence and vacancies
within the Justice Social Work team. These gaps in staffing have, to some
extent, been filled over the last few weeks and we should see an improvement
on performance in this area.
Across 11 KPI, C&F services performance notes 2 (18%) on track, with 9
(82%) off track against the targets set in Q2 23/24. This is a decrease from
27% on track reported (-9%) variance on the previous quarter performance. 
Performance on or above target: 
• Number of care experienced children placed at home or in Kinship or
Fostering Care is on track, noting 17% above target performance. 
• The percentage of panel Reports completed for Scottish Children’s
Reporter Administration (SCRA) with 28 Days noted an increase to 100%
against 80% target. 
Performance below target & areas for improvement: 
• Performance around reducing numbers of care experience children looked
after living in residential care commissioned out with A&B has declined
due to noted increased this quarter from 5% to 7% of all children looked
after. The number of children cared for in ‘external placements’ is small
and as such consideration must be given when reviewing a percentage
shift across a small population. 
• With regards to the number of children seen within 18 weeks for Child &
Adolescent Mental Health Services remains off track, with FQ2 noting
79.3% against a 90% target. This is however an increase of 17.2% on
previous quarter’s performance and demonstrates steady longer-term
progress in this area. 
• The percentage of 27-30 month reviews completed out with agreed time
period remains off track, with FQ2 noting 30.8% against 90% target, an
increase of 5.8% on the previous quarter. 
Telecare and Digital
The process for reviews was changed this year to incorporate the offer of a postal
review prior to face to face or telephone. We can say that 580 clients were sent
a postal review, 411 returned and were marked as complete. 169 were sent to

Page 4

Carr Gomm/TEC Team either at the request of the client after a postal review or
because the form was not returned and 130 have been completed. Therefore, a
total of 541 reviews have been undertaken this year.   
The transition to Eclipse has impacted on tracking reviews and as such we have
identified a risk that our information is not yet accurate and complete. We have
noted outstanding reviews as a risk, currently addressing this manually and
managing the ongoing risk. 
The TEC Team is actively promoting Just Checking where possible but relies on
requests from operational staff for the equipment to go in. Opportunities for
systems training are being heavily promoted.  Just Checking has an opportunity
to play an active and standardised part of the Assessment process, especially for
those on the Unmet Need list however we require increased engagement from
staff across the HSCP to take this forward and will be pursuing this. 
Buddi Hubs are an excellent means of ensuring a service user is discharged from
hospital with a means of calling for help if required without there needing to be a
full Telecare set up in place. While usage of the Hubs has dropped over Q2 we
are continuing to promote this with staff teams. 
Benchmarked performance across the 8 Key Performance Indicators against
target notes a significant increase in the number of KPI’s reporting on-track with
Q1 noting (3) 37.5% on track against FQ2 reporting (5) 62.5% on-track and
increase of (25%) 3 KPI’s remain off –track against target for FQ2. 
Performance on or above target:  
• Digitalisation of Telecare Devices: Substantial progress has been made
and the 25% end-of-year target has almost been achieved in FQ2.
• 'Near Me' Clinics: A significant 18% increase from the last quarter
suggests that virtual appointments are becoming more widely accepted
and may be a lasting trend beyond the decline post-COVID.  
• SilverCloud: referrals remain on target with a 6% increase in referrals from
last Quarter.
• A 5% increase in new telecare clients from last quarter 
• 100% of Reponses to Freedom of Information requests have continued to
meet the statutory timescales. 
Performance below target & areas for improvement:   
• There has been an issue surrounding licensing of Just Checking
equipment which has prevented new equipment going out during Q2.
There has also been no new Buddi equipment issued.  
• Telecare referrals being completed on time is an ongoing issue, the ability
to keep track of outstanding referrals via a CMS has been lost during the
migration to Eclipse but this is currently being tracked manually with a
planned resolution within Eclipse. 
Telecare has robust supporting governance to plan and resolve risks and
consider issues.

Public Health and Primary Care
Smoking Cessation measured by ‘Increase the number of quit dates’, noted the
67% variance Q2 from Q1.  Data in Q1 was incomplete as only 1 month data
indicating not on target.  Work is ongoing to see if the data can be collected and
if so, this would change the variance in Q2 and possibly the overall target
performance in Q1.
Monitoring Contracts and KPIs of all PH commissioned services. Noted this
should always be 100%.
Increasing the number of engagement activities delivered: On target in Q2. 
Discussion around target of 1.  Noted this is new measurement and no one knew
what to expect when target set. Planning a review of the target when we have
more experience at end of year.
Increase number of people attending training in money matters/behaviour training
is on target.
Increase number of referrals to community link workers. This is on target with
baseline but slightly lower number of referrals in Q2 from Q1.  This isn’t significant
and expected to be slightly lower with holiday season.
Primary Care is on target for all current Key Performance Indicator’s (KPI).
Vaccine delivery on target for Autumn/Winter campaign with positive feedback
from communities.  Transfer of vaccinations from GP practices now complete with
no need to continue monitoring this. 
Ongoing excellent performance around oral health improvement, as described
above. 
Our dashboard data for Community Treatment Assessment Centres (CTAC)
establishment not accurate as we have two practices outside rural flexibility
receiving no CTAC. Flagged with performance team to adjust performance
monitoring. Work ongoing to establish data collection for CTAC activity.
Community Link Worker service up and running according to business case. 
Ongoing contingency measures in general practice 2C practices (managed by
HSCP). Further work required to measure/monitor this in a more detailed way. 
Maintaining Level 1 provision across all General Practice, with communication
out to practices to support ongoing monitoring during the winter pressures period. 
Work is required to scope dental KPIs for next iteration of developing our use of
the IPMF.
Benchmarked performance across the 13 Key Performance Indicators against
target notes a sustained increase in the number of KPI’s reporting on-track with
Q2 noting (13) on track against FQ1 reporting (11) on-track. Across 5 KPI’s,
Public Health performance notes 5 (100%) are on track set against the targets in
Q2 2023/24. This is an increase of 20% on the previous quarter performance.
Performance on or above target:   
• Increasing the monthly number of quit dates is on target in Q2.  There is a
variance of 67%.  It is noted that the “actual” reported in Q1 was
incomplete as only had 1 month’s data. 
• Monitoring contracts and KPIs of all PH commissioned contracts is 100%
on track in Q2.  This follows a 100% trend from Q3 of 2022/23.

• Increasing the number of engagement activities delivered in communities
is on target in Q2 and shows an increase in performance each quarter. 
There is a variance of 10% in Q2 from Q1. 
• Increasing the people in A&B attending training in Money Counts,
Behaviour change is on target in Q2 and shows an increase in attendance
each quarter.  There is a variance of 21% in Q2 from Q1. 
• Increasing the number of referrals to community link workers is on track in
Q2. Referrals have dropped slightly this quarter with a (-3%) variance. (see
feedback below) 
• In the current fiscal year, primary care in Argyll and Bute has effectively
introduced several new services, achieving notable success.  
• In the five most deprived areas—Helensburgh, Campbeltown, Dunoon,
Rothesay, and Oban—GP practices now can refer their patients to a
community link worker for either in-person or remote appointments. 
• Community treatment centres (CTAC) are now accessible throughout
Argyll and Bute, extending their availability to include island communities. 
• The ChildSmile programs have returned to levels seen before the impact
of the COVID-19 pandemic in both the toothbrushing and fluoride
application programmes. 
• The HSPC has taken over the delivery of both scheduled and non-
scheduled vaccination programs in all non-rural areas, alleviating some
pressure from practices. Monitoring the autumn and spring booster
programs has presented challenges due to the timing misalignment with
IPMF publications. However, progress and performance can be observed
on the Discovery platform, indicating that Argyll and Bute are performing
above the national average in the delivery of seasonal vaccinations. 
• Analysts and the primary care team have initiated collaboration to
establish more meaningful KPIs. These aim to effectively monitor the
performance of services in the upcoming fiscal year. 
Performance below target & areas for improvement:   
• Q2 reported no KPI below target and all Public Health & Primary Care
KPI recorded as on or above target. 
Hospital Care & Delayed Discharge
Falls remains a key cross service focus for the HSCP.  There is a new falls lead
in post and a specific focus on promoting meaningful activity within hospital
settings for older people. 
Discharge without delay has a focus on reducing length of stay within hospital,
looking at processes which may slow down length of stay in hospital.

Page 7

7
Adults With Incapacity, which can delay discharge has challenges, not least gaps
in Mental Health Officer staffing and capacity.   This continues to be a live issue. 
Across 17 KPI’s, Hospital Care performance notes 7 (41%) on track, with 10
(59%) off track against the targets set in Q2 23/24. This is an increase from 27%
on track reported (+14%) variance on the previous quarter performance.
Discharge performance notes 3 (50%) on track, with 3 (50%) off track against the
targets set in Q2 23/24. There is no variance from (50%) reported on track on the
previous quarter performance.   
Performance on or above target:   
• Reducing the number of people delayed in hospital is on track, with a (-
11%) variance on Q1. We are 100% on target on this quarter
performance.
• Reducing the number of occupied bed days for people delayed in
hospital awaiting a care home placement is on track. Note an increase of
(11%) bed days on previous quarter performance. 
• The number of inpatients 18+ who are discharged without delay is on
track, with a (-1%) variance on Q1.
• Reducing the average Length of Stay for inpatients in A&B hospitals is
on track, having dropped by 25% since Q1, and is exactly on target.
• Unplanned admissions to hospital reported as a result of a Fall in Q1 (Q2
is proxy data) dropped back below target, showing an 11% improvement. 
• Medication errors in hospital remain below target. Waiting times for
cancer appointments at the 31 and 62 day targets have dropped to zero,
following a continuing trend.  
Performance below target & areas for improvement:   
• Overall length of stay (bed days) in hospital is below target and showing
a (14%) increase from Q1. (37%) below Q2 target.
• The number of occupied bed days for people delayed in hospital due to
AWI has fallen below target in Q2 with a (23%) increase in bed days from
Q1. (10%) above Qtr 2 target.
• Reducing the number of people delayed in hospital due to care at home
availability has slightly improved since Q1 (-14%). (16%) above Q2
target. Unplanned admissions to hospital for 65+ remain slightly above
target and showing a 2% increase on Q1.
• The number of Falls being reported in hospital setting shows a 20%
increase in performance on Q1. 
• Instances of tissue viability continues to be above target and is up by
24% in Q2.
• Outpatient waiting times continues to be off track, with breaches >12
weeks up 22% and long waits >52 weeks up 151%.

Care at Home and Care Home 
Staffing levels affect occupancy in Argyll and Bute Council registered Care
Homes, we may have the beds but insufficient staff available. Occupancy of care
home beds overall in Argyll and Bute remains high.
The issue for reviews overall is being scrutinised by the social work short life
working group, these have been de-prioritised because of staffing pressures but
alternative models need to be developed.
There is specific work with care homes and hospitals (as part of unscheduled
care) to reduce unplanned admissions.
Across 7 KPIs, Care at Home/Care Homes performance notes 2 on track, with 5
off track against the targets set in Q2 23/24. This is an overall increase of 29%
as all KPI in Q1 were reported as off track. 
Performance on or above target: 
• Percentage of Priority 1 & 2 referrals for a Care at Home service completed
within the target response timescales
• Percentage of Older people in receipt of a Care at Home service with a
Universal Adult Assessment competed at their 6 week point
(Please note that both these indicators will be further developed as part of the
annual KPI review process, this is a result of the move to Eclipse Case
Management and a different process to count and record assessments and
referrals. The annual KPI review will begin in FQ3 2023/24) 
Performance below target & areas for improvement: 
• The % of Older People who waited > 6 months for their homecare
monitoring review to be completed has continued to increase slightly –
Q2 is 2% up on Q1 – and is now 22% above target.
• Performance on % of Older People receiving nursing care home service
has remained static over a year and is still 9% below target.
• The % of Older People in receipt of Care at Home receiving >15 hours
per week have dropped again by 1% and is now 3% below target.
• Occupancy rates across A&B care homes continue to improve (4% up on
Q1) but still 5% below target.
Learning Disability & Mental Health
There continues to be increased activity across all services with workforce
challenges presenting as the biggest factor in terms of meeting and improving on
overall performance.
The Acute and Complex Care Senior Management Team (SMT) are keen to
focus on better understanding the directorate’s KPIs and our performance in
relation to these.  The IPMF was the focus of their SMT meeting on 6 November
2023 and each KPI was discussed at length with a view to developing an action
plan to improve performance.  They have pulled together a list of issues to
discuss with the planning and performance team in relation to the KPIs and hope
that these will underpin an initial data cleanse and improve their overall data
capture and use.

Page 9

The SMT have had the first of their regularly scheduled support meetings with
their allocated data analysts on 29th Nov 2023.  This was useful in terms of drilling
down into the data that sits behind the dashboards, and this will be used to
underpin service developments and improvements.  The SMT also plan to
compile variance reports for each KPI that is showing as red.  This will start in
quarter 3.       
Across 21 KPI, Learning Disability / Mental Health/ ASP (Adult Support and
Protection) / ADP performance notes 14 (67%) on track, with 7 (33%) off track
against the targets set. This is an increase from 52% on track reported (+15%)
variance on the previous quarter’s performance. 
Performance on or above target: 
• There has been a gradual increase recently in the number of people with
dementia supported by a Care at Home service. Since the last quarter it
has risen by 11 (30%) to 48.
• The Dementia teams have also increased the number of people with
needs assessed via Universal Adult Assessments. This has increased
from 15 to 24 over the quarter (+60%).
• The number of referrals received for Post Diagnostic Support has also
significantly increased this quarter rising from 26 to 62 (+138%). 
Performance below target & areas for improvement: 
• The number of people waiting more than 12 weeks for a new Mental
Health Outpatient service has been increasing slightly over recent
quarters. At Q2 2023/24 there were 440 waiting, an increase of 5% on
previous quarter.
• 
Carers & Allied Health Professionals (AHP’s)
The number on Young Carers (YC) statements was lower this quarter.  Q2
2023/24 brings in the school holiday period when YC will have been away, but
also at a time when increased number of activities were taking place over the
summer months for YC. The teams were busy with group work, YC festival and
residential trips. We need to look at the Target next year for Young Carers
Statements but looking at the figures for the year the average is 39.75 which is
over the 34 quarterly target.
Across 11 KPI, Carers / AHP services performance notes 7 (64%) on track, with
4 (36%) off track against the targets set. This is an increase from 36% on track
reported (+28%) variance on the previous quarter performance.
Performance on or above target: 
• The number of Unpaid Carers Supported / Registered across A&B’s
Carers Centres continues to increase. As reported last quarter, there has
been a change to the data collection from the Carers Centres. For
consistency the numbers used to define performance are those that are
currently registered by the Carers Centres. In the new financial year the
Target will be revised to reflect this change in reporting.

Page 10

10 
• There has been a slight increase in the number of completed Adult Carer
Support Plans this quarter and this is now on target. 
• AHP Outpatient Completed Waits have increased 5% this quarter. 
• The rate of New Outpatient AHP referrals seen as a proportion of all
referrals seen continues to be on track. The current rate of 30% well
above target set (25%). 
Performance below target & areas for improvement: 
• Young Carers Statements Completed have decreased recently although
up on last quarter. Relative to retrospective quarterly data in 2021/22 and
2022/23 the current quarterly figure is consistent or slightly higher. This
target will need to be revised due to the unique aspects of gathering
information from Young Carers. 
• AHP Outpatient Referral Waits breaching 4 weeks for MSK (Muscular
Skeletal) have increased again this quarter – up 19% from last quarter.
Those breaching 12 weeks is also off-track this quarter. 
Finance
Some attrition has resulted in improvement on the indicator for High-Cost Care
Packages. 
The HSCP introduced ‘smarter commissioning’ early in 2023 at address unmet
need, the objective of this was to better manage care at home resources and
productivity. It was also designed to help commissioned service providers
improve recruitment and retention and their sustainability. The main objective
from our perspective was to better meet the assessed care needs of older adults.
Therefore, a reduction in unmet need is a positive.
The number of discharges with delay has increased and therefore the indicator
reflects this. Spend is related to delays and it is a current management priority to
manage down delays. 
Spend on prescribing / drugs is red as prices have increased and costs have
increased. This is of significant concern and work will commence to better
understand the price and volume effect. There is currently a national data system
issue which means that there is uncertainty at present, but it appears this is a
major area of overspending within the HSCP. 
It is hoped that spend on agency staffing will reduce, this will be driven by the
move away from off-contract providers (agency nursing) and hopefully improved
recruitment. It will take some time to get a sufficient data set over time to properly
establish whether this is having an impact. The new staffing legislation in early
2024 should also help reduce the hourly rate (to no more than 150%) of a payroll
post. Data set to be checked to ensure that it is the full quarterly cost that is
reported.

Page 11

Across 5 KPIs, Financial services performance notes 1 (20%) on track, with 4
(80%) off track against the targets set in Q2 23/24. This is a decrease from 40%
on track reported (-20%) variance on the previous quarter performance.
Performance on or above target: 
• There is currently 1 KPI on or above target.
• The performance on reducing the percentage of clients with high-cost
packages of care KPI is improving at 3% above target performance. 
Performance below target & areas for improvement: 
• Reduction in value of assessed unmet need for care at home remains off
track with costs increased this quarter on previous quarter.
• Performance with regards to reducing the cost of hospital stays as a
result of delayed discharge remains off track, with FQ2 noting 24%
above the target, and an increase of 13% on previous quarter’s
performance. 
• The cost on pharmacy expenditure remains off track, with FQ2 noting
16% above target, matching 16% above target on the previous quarter. 
NATIONAL HEALTH & WELLBEING OUTCOMES (HWBOI) and
MINISTERIAL STEERING GROUP (MSG) INTEGRATION INDICATORS
The National Health and Wellbeing Outcomes provide a strategic framework for
the planning and delivery of health and social care services. This suite of
outcomes serves to focus on improving the experiences and quality of services
for people using those services, carers, and their families. These indicators form
the basis of the annual reporting requirement for Health and Social Care
Partnerships across Scotland.   
The national indicators will be updated and reported within A&B HSCP’s
Integrated Performance Management Framework to provide the national
performance position alongside the local service Key Performance Indicators
suite. 
The latest data in relation to 26 HWBOI and MSG Indicators reports 42% on track,
with 11 on track and 15 off track. 
An overview of A&B HSCP’s latest performance against the 26 measures is
reported in Appendix 1. It should be noted that reporting periods vary across the
suite of national indicator measures, with some measures reported quarterly
affected by national reporting data lag. The next update for this data will be
reported at FQ3.

4. RELEVANT DATA AND INDICATORS 
5. CONTRIBUTION TO STRATEGIC PRIORITIES
The monitoring and reporting against Key Performance Indicators using the
Integrated Performance Management Framework and Dashboard ensures
the HSCP is able to deliver against key strategic priorities. This in-turn is
aligned with the Strategic Plan and key objectives. 
6. GOVERNANCE IMPLICATIONS
6.1 Financial Impact 
Financial performance is evidenced within the IPMF Dashboard ensuring best
value as well as evidencing the impact and performance against
organisational budget savings. 
6.2 Staff Governance
Key performance indicators within the IPMF ensure that staff governance
requirements continue to be progressed and developed include health and
safety, wellbeing and new service redesign and working practices. 
6.3 Clinical and Care Governance
Clinical Governance and patient safety remain at the core of prioritised service
delivery against the   new IPMF Dashboard and National Health & Wellbeing
Outcomes Indicators. The new governance structure supporting the IPMF
ensures that the Clinical & Care Governance Committee remain central to
performance improvement. The development of the IPMF is focussed on
moving away from previous traditional styles of reporting to a fully
collaborative approach with Head of Service and Service Lead commentary. 
7. PROFESSIONAL ADVISORY
Data used within the performance dashboard is fully accessible in SharePoint
with data trends and forecasting are identified to give wider strategic context.
This provides the HSCP professional advisors with self –service performance
information to inform their role in maintaining professional standards and
outcomes.
8. EQUALITY & DIVERSITY IMPLICATIONS
The Integrated Performance Management Framework captures relevant
indictors used to inform the HSCP E&D work.
9. GENERAL DATA PROTECTION PRINCIPLES COMPLIANCE 
Data use and sharing within this report and IPMF performance dashboard is
covered within the Argyll and Bute Council & NHS Highland Data Sharing
Agreement
