Background: White Paper and Health Bill

• Abolition of PCTs and SHAs;

• Establishment of NHS Commissioning Board, and GP Commissioning consortia;

• Transfer of responsibility for public health to local government;

• Establishment of Health & Wellbeing Boards;

• Greater emphasis on ‘choice’ under Any Qualified Provider.

Major changes to the NHS are proposed:

So what does this mean for us?

• PCT & SHA timeline (2013) – further clustering of SHAs later this year;

• NHS Commissioning Board (+ “local arms”) – October 2012;

• Health, Wellbeing Boards and our involvement;• Clinical networks and senates – strengthen our

involvement;
