“All those who work on the frontline should be thinking carefully, and imaginatively, about how we can do things differently. The QIPP process is a home for this in the NHS and the way that we can implement the best and brightest ideas across the service. As the Prime Minister said: ‘Don’t hold back – be innovative, be radical, challenge the way things are done.”
Andrew Lansley, Secretary of State for Health – 2 July 2010.

“We need to fashion a vibrant, creative NHS that really fizzes with ideas of how to improve quality and how to reduce costs........ So, instead of relying on ever more funds flowing from the Treasury, we must look to ourselves to make savings. This practical imperative is what QIPP is all about......... We have the resources, we have the knowledge and we have the ability to give the people of this country a truly first class NHS and to deliver it within our means.”
Earl Howe, Minister for QIPP - 2 July 2010

The effect of MS on Quality of Life
• MS is one of the most common causes of neurological disability in young adults2
• Natural history studies indicate that it takes a median time of 8, 20, and30 years to reach the irreversible disability levels of EDSS scores 4.0, 6.0, and 7.0, respectively3
*Utility measures are derived from EQ-5D using the EuroQoL instrument; †error bars depict 95% CIs. Half points on EDSSare not shown on graph axis, except at EDSS score 6.5.EDSS=Expanded Disability Status Scale; EQ-5D=European Quality of Life-5 Dimensions; QoL=quality of life.1.

Breakthrough disease after treatment initiation
Patients with breakthrough disease can be identified with• Clinical measures
– Relapses– EDSS progression
• MRI measures– T2 and Gd+ lesions
• Biological markers– IFNβ NAbs/lack of MxA gene induction– Natalizumab antibodies
Gd+=gadolinium-enhancing; IFNβ=interferon beta; NAbs=neutralizing antibodies; Abs=antibodies; MxA= myxovirus protein A.

Metrics for DMTs• What proportion of your patients are on a

• What proportion of your patients have failed a first line DMT?
• What proportion of your patients are in a clinical trial?
• Etc.

Conclusion
• Equity and excellence: Liberating the NHS – patients will be at the heart of everything we do
• choice and control• easy access to the information they need about the best GPs
and hospitals• patients will be in charge of making decisions about their care
– a relentless focus on clinical outcomes• Success will be measured, not through bureaucratic process
targets, but against results that really matter to patients – such as improving …… survival rates
– we will empower health professionals
