Clinical Commissioning: our vision for practice-based commissioning (Guidance and accompanying letter)
The Department of Health has worked with a wide range of clinicians, PCTs and strategic health authorities to produce a collective vision for clinical commissioning. This vision is presented in the document ‘Clinical Commissioning: our vision for practice-based commissioning’, which was launched on 4 March 2009.
The document sets out the hallmarks of successful clinical commissioning, the support and entitlements that practice-based commissioners can expect, and the principles underpinning vibrant, productive practice-based commissioning partnerships between PCTs and their clinical communities.
It confirms the direction of practice-based commissioning and firmly embeds it as a core aspect of World Class Commissioning.
