Commissioning Support Units [CSU]
Commissioning Support Units were established in April 2013 as part of the reorganisation of the National Health
Service in England following the Health and Social Care Act 2012. As Commissioning Support Units [CSUs] are not
geographically defined, this means that in some cases customers are local or regional clinical commissioners, and
in others they include clinical commissioning groups in other parts of England. In addition some of the CCG’s have
decided to take the CSU function “in house”
With the closure of Central Eastern CSU in September 2014 and the merger of Anglia CSU with North
East London CSU there is no Commissioning Support Unit solely serving the East of England.
Clinical Commissioning Groups
CCGs are clinically led groups that include all of the GP groups in their geographical area. They are responsible for
designing and commissioning local health services and have to use the Joint Strategic Needs Assessment (JSNA)
and Joint Health and Wellbeing strategy when drawing up their commissioning plans. CCGs are overseen by NHS
England (including its Regional Offices and Area Teams). These structures manage primary care commissioning,
including holding the NHS Contracts for GP practices NHS

Local Authorities Commissioning for Public Health
The transfer of public health from the NHS to local government and Public Health England (PHE) is one of the most
significant extensions of local government powers and duties in a generation.
Local authorities are now responsible for public health commissioning and have appointed new Directors of Public
Health (DPH). Local authorities are also responsible for providing some public health services in conjunction with
Public Health England. Overall local authorities now have a much greater role shaping services.
Regional Directors of Public Health
The most fundamental duties of a directors of public health (DPH) are set out in law and. How those statutory
functions translate into everyday practice depends on a range of factors that are shaped by local needs and
priorities from area to area and over time.
A number of the DPH’s specific responsibilities and duties arise directly from Acts of Parliament - mainly the NHS
Act 2006 and the Health and Social Care Act 2012 - and related regulations. Some of these duties are closely
defined but most allow for local discretion in how they are delivered.

Joint Strategic Needs Assessment (JSNA)
Joint Strategic Needs Assessment (JSNA) is a collection of information that aims to identify the health and
wellbeing needs of the local population on each local authority area.
The JSNA is expected to:
Describe the future health and wellbeing of its population.
Better support the needs of local communities by identifying and encouraging interventions at earlier stages
to more effectively target the causes of health problems.
Help understand the needs of the whole population.
Consider and understand the wider determinants of health.
Health & Wellbeing Boards will use the JSNA to develop the Health and Wellbeing Strategy and set commissioning
priorities.
Joint Health and Wellbeing Strategy
Each Health and Wellbeing Board will be required to draw up a joint and high level Health and Wellbeing Strategy,
informed by the Joint Strategic Needs Assessment. It will set the overall strategic direction for Health and
Wellbeing.

Health and Social Care Overview and Scrutiny Committees
Each relevant council has a health overview and scrutiny committee, dedicated to scrutinising local NHS policy,
planning, and impact against local needs and inequalities. This committee is made up of councillors (and in two-
tier areas often includes district/borough members as well as county councillors) and thereby has democratic
legitimacy. It may also include co-opted members. Cabinet members are not eligible to sit on the health
overview and scrutiny committee or any other scrutiny committee. The meetings are open to the press and public
in the same way as any council meeting.
The primary aim of health scrutiny is to act as a lever to improve the health of local people, ensuring their needs
are considered as an integral part of the commissioning, delivery and development of health services.
