About us• The NHS Commissioning Board (NHS CB):
• was established as a special health authority on 31 October 2011 and as an executive non-departmental public body on 1 October 2012;
• plays a key role in the Government’s vision to modernise the NHS and secure the best possible outcomes for patients.
• From 1 April 2013 it will be known as NHS England
3
The role of the NHS EnglandPatient-focused, clinically-led organisation that has the culture, style and leadership to truly improve outcomes for patients
•To allocate resources to clinical commissioning groups (CCGs)
•To support CCGs to commission services on behalf of their patients (according to evidence-based quality standards)
•To have direct responsibility for commissioning services:
• primary care;
• military and prison health services;
• high secure psychiatric services; and
• specialised services.
4
NHS England structure• Area teams – commissioning high quality primary care
services, supporting and developing CCGs, assessing and assuring performance, direct and specialised commissioning, managing and cultivating local partnerships and stakeholder relationships, including representation on health and wellbeing boards
• Four regions - providing clinical and professional leadership, co-ordinating planning, operational management and emergency preparedness and undertaking direct commissioning functions and processes within a single operating model
• National support centre in Leeds and a presence in London
5
Our ways of working• A nationwide organisation
• Matrix working at the heart - to provide simplicity, aid efficiency and ensure singularity of approach
• We intend to ensure that everything that the NHS England does:• contributes to improving outcomes;• has been clinically-led;• promotes equality and supports a reduction in health
inequalities;• is informed by the needs, views and wishes of patients and the
public; and• promotes innovation and puts research into practice.
6
Key facts and figures• The overall running costs budget (£527m) represents a reduction
of almost half on costs and staff, compared to the current costs of functions transferring to the Board
• Around 75% of the budget will be deployed locally:• reflects that the majority of NHS England’s functions will be
carried out locally, with the vast majority people based up and down the country in local area teams and regions; and
• provides strong local presence to best manage the transition.
• Eight directorates, with nearly half of the senior posts filled by clinical staff and a range of clinical professions represented throughout, plus extensive clinical advice and input from clinical networks and clinical senates
