1 RCCG/GB/17/052 ii) Introduction Business Continuity Plan Activation and Review This Business Continuity Plan is to be used to assist in the continuity and recovery of Rushcliffe Clinical Commissioning Group (CCG) in the event of an unplanned disruption. A disruption could be any event, which threatens personnel, buildings or operational capacity and requires special measures to be taken to restore normal service. The Business Continuity Plan was activated on 20 February 2017 following an unplanned disruption to Easthorpe House. This disruption informed a review of the Business Continuity Plan, the plan has been updated and is presented to the Governing Body for approval. Business Continuity Plan activation On 20 February 2017, the Business Continuity Plan was activated following the water supply being switched off to repair a leak in the building. The water was switched off for a number of hours in the morning of the 20 February When the disruption occurred, the length of time of the building would not have a supply of water was unknown, however, the supply was reconnected by 9.30 am. The disruption affected all staff present at Easthorpe House on the morning of 20 February 2017 due to a lack of drinking water and toilet and washing facilities. The Business Continuity Manager followed the action plan for access denial to work area as recorded within the Business Continuity Plan to manage the disruption (Appendix 1). The Initial Response Checklist and Actions and Responses Log was completed for the disruption, copies are included as Appendix 2 and Appendix 3. All critical functions identified within the CCG s Business Continuity Plan based at Easthrope House were affected by the disruption. Rushcliffe CCG) Function Staff Group e.g. Director/Manager/Of ficer/administrator Number needed Workstation needed (inc: Desk, Phone, PC, access to Printer) Possibility of working from home on VPN Leadership Chief Officer 1 2 YES PA Support 1 NO Risk management Incident Investigations Implementation of the Business Continuity Plan Managers 2 1 YES Manager 1 1 NO Manager 1 1 YES
2 These critical functions were accomodated within Easthorpe House, although staff were informed that they could return home or leave the premises to use local public toilets. All non-critical functions based at Easthorpe House as identified within the Business Continuity Plan were also affected by the disruption. Service Function Tolerable Periods of Disruption Minimum Maximum Financial management including QIPP and financial 10 days 14 days recovery Planning services - preparing a commissioning plans 28 days 30 days Commissioning services through pathway development 28 days 30 days and redesign Performance & data analysis 7 day 21 days Governance duties to ensure continuous compliance with 7 day 21 days statutory duties Partnership working to ensure joined up working to 7 day 21 days improve the health and wellbeing of patients Support and guidance to member practices 2 days 7 day Administration 2 days 7 days Clinical Assessment Service 2 days 7 days Sustainability 28 days 30 days Integrated working to ensure ongoing delivery of services 7 days 21 days Although services were identified as able to be suspended for periods of time, all services were accommodated within Easthorpe House although staff were informed that they could return home or leave the premises to use local public toilets. Summary of results The activation tested three areas of the plan; activation of the plan as the result of a disruption, raising awareness of a disruption and resolution of the disruption. 1. Activation of the plan As the disruption occurred at Easthorpe House out of office hours, this was identified by NHS Hotel Services Building Porter on opening the building. The Building Porter/ Cleaner notified Mitie as the building s maintenance company and Cofely then took appropriate action to review the damage and effect. The Business Continuity Plan activation identified that the process to notify the CCG of a disruption was not followed; therefore, staff only became aware of the disruption on arrival at the building. The Business Continuity Plan identifies the CCG s Chief Officer or one of two nominated deputies as needing to authorise activation of the plan. The Deputy Chief Officer was available and was notified of the disruption on the day and approved activation of the plan.
3 2. Raising awareness of disruption As the Business Continuity Manager was not alerted to the disruption before arriving at the building, staff were already arriving at work at the time, therefore, it was not possible to notify staff in advance. The Deputy Chief Officer notified all staff in person of the disruption and that they could return home or leave the premises to use local public toilets. Staff were then notified via by the Governance Officer of the resolution of the disruption. There were two meetings scheduled in the Easthorpe House meeting rooms on the morning of the disruption. These were booked by staff based at Easthorpe House so were able to be contacted easily to notify them of the disruption. Typically, details are only collected for meeting room bookings if external bodies booked the rooms. 3. Resolution of the disruption On identification of the disruption, NHS Hotel Services Building Porter contacted Cofely as the maintenance company for the building and NHS Property Services. The Facilities Management Support Manager arranged for the building to be inspected and for repair work to be completed. Conclusion The activation and review highlighted that the Rushcliffe CCG Business Continuity Plan was fit for purpose and would be effective in the event of a disruption. The activation and review has identified that content and action plan should remain the same. The exercise identified that the process for NHS Property Services or Hotel Services to communicate a disruption to the CCG outside of office hours was not followed. This would be reinforced with NHS Property Services and Hotel Services and contact details for the Business Continuity Lead at the CCG and Chief Officer would be shared with a request to contact if a disruption was identified. As a result of the activation and review and following feedback from the NHS England Business Continuity Plan Lead, the Business Continuity Plan has been updated to include out of hours contact details for on-call managers, introduction of minimum and maximum tolerable periods of disruption for all non-critical functions and to include the Business Continuity Manager contact details being shared with NHS Property Services to be alerted in the event of a disruption. The activation was successful in testing the effectiveness of the Business Continuity Plan and identified necessary changes. A further exercise would be conducted in 12 months. Recommendations The Governing Body is recommended to: NOTE the findings of the Business Continuity Plan activation APPROVE the updated Business Continuity Plan
