Commissioning landscape
Integrated commissioning comprises collaborative organisation, funding and provision of services within health and between health and social care settings. Professionals and organisations work together at all stages of commissioning, including the assessment of a population's needs, planning and funding of services, and monitoring outcomes (Glasby, 2012). Clinical commissioning groups manage most of the NHS commissioning budget and are made up of groups of primary care practices in geographical proximity. At a national level, NHS England commissions specialised services, primary care and some public health services.
