PRIMARY CARE TRUSTS

The Framework for procuring External Support for Commissioners (FESC): a practical guide (12th June 2009)
FESC is a practical and cost effective procurement tool to help primary care trusts (PCTs) address gaps in commissioning capability or capacity by providing easy access to high quality commissioning solutions from pre-qualified and experienced private sector partners. This brochure sets out what FESC is, why you should consider using it and how to do so.

Primary care trust survey: provision of IVF in England 2008 (18th June 2009)
The Department of Health sent a survey out to PCTs earlier this year about the provision of IVF treatment by PCTs. Each PCT provided the information. In some cases this information is for less than a full year.

Patient and Public Engagement - the early impact of World Class Commissioning. A survey of Primary Care Trusts (8th June 2009)
Primary care trusts have reported significant changes to the way they organise patient and public engagement in commissioning, amounting to the beginnings of a cultural shift. However, the change may be mainly within the PCTs' own management, as the public have yet to have a strong influence on the content of most PPE strategies.
