8. PSA AND DSO PERFORMANCE
8.1.8 Can the Department provide information
on what will be defined as good progress against benchmark data
for PSA indicator 19.5 (Percentage of people with a long-term
condition (LTC) supported to be independent and in control of
their condition(s)) when performance data are published in February
2010? (Q99)
Answer
1. Progress against PSA indicator 19.5 will
be measured through the GP Patient Survey 2009-10, which asks
whether people feel (i) fully supported or (ii) partially supported
to manage their condition. In addition, this survey has questions
about personalised care planning, which support delivery of PSA
19.5, on whether people are (i) having a care planning discussion,
(ii) agreeing a written plan about how to manage their long-term
condition and (iii) whether the discussion or the plan has improved
the care they receive. Good progress will be defined as increases
in levels of satisfaction in all of these areas.
