COMMISSIONING

World Class Commissioning Assurance Toolkit and Handbook (4th June 2008)
The delivery of the world class commissioning vision and competencies will take place within a commissioning assurance system. This will drive performance and development, and reward PCTs as they move towards becoming world class commissioners. There will be one national system of commissioning assurance, locally managed by strategic health authorities (SHAs). There will be flexibility to set local priorities. Commissioning assurance will be designed to help primary care trusts (PCTs) identify areas of development and move towards filling gaps in their capabilities. The details of the assurance system are set out in the commissioning assurance handbook which includes guidance on the content and process. The handbook is supported by a toolkit including all the tools and templates that PCTs and SHAs will need to implement the system. PCTs, SHAs and panel members should go visit the link below to access the toolkit.
