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.
