£178bn borrowing this year
• Highest spending since 1982–83• Lowest tax burden since 1960–61• Highest borrowing since WWII
• Do we have a 'General McChrystal moment' on the way?
• Nicholson said the government plans raised big issues that were being 'hotly discussed and disputed'
• NHS chief executive Sir David Nicholson has launched a scathing attack on health secretary Andrew Lansley's proposals for handing over commissioning responsibility to GPs
• Sir David also turned his fire on the ability of GP commissioners, saying that if PBC groups were rated on the quality of their commissioning on a scale of one to 10, even the best were ‘only about a three’

South Central Facts and Figures
• 3400 Trainees• 2800 MADEL Salary Support• 600 Trust Funded• £122m MADEL Budget• Nearly 90% Salary Support• Only 2.7% Management Costs
National Context
• Overall reduction nationally in junior doctor training numbers
• From 7500 in 2007 down to 6500 in 2011• Balance between Hospital and GP
National Context
• Future numbers of commissions should be based on projected future service need
• Services should be planned around delivery by trained practitioners and move away from dependence on junior doctors
Temple ReportTime for Training
• High quality training can be delivered within the reduced number of hours available but fails if trainees: • have the major role in providing out of hours
service;
• are poorly supervised; or
• have limited access to learning.
Temple ReportTime for Training
• Hospitals remain too reliant on junior doctors to provide out-of-hours services
• Service needs to be redesigned so consultants work more flexibly and more "directly responsible" for patient care around the clock

Impact of MPET reduction
£000
MADEL Reduction 14%
• Management cost reduction of 30% across deaneries would only save 1%
• 14% reduction in MADEL investment equivalent to £17m
• 14% reduction in MADEL training activity equivalent to 390 doctors
Principles for South Central MPET Review
• MPET should be invested on the principle of supplying the local workforce
• Investment should be proportionate to future service need, with a duty of care to the tax payer and students to commission neither an oversupply nor undersupply of health professionals
• The long term outcome of the MPET reduction should be a sustainable steady state investment plan which will supply the future service need of South Central
Principles for South Central MPET Review
• Can we be smarter than simply reproducing the existing workforce, and anticipating and shaping the future workforce?
• At time of disinvestment, consideration should be given to prioritising retraining of the existing workforce rather than training new workforce
• Role substitution

Our Shared Challenge
• Ensuring MPET envelope invested for future workforce supply
• Avoiding / deliberately destabilising service provision?
• What opportunities for service redesign and role substitution?
