Clinical Commissioning Groups
(asked on 4th September 2015) - View Source
Question to the Department of Health and Social Care:
To ask the Secretary of State for Health, what assessment he has made of the effectiveness of Clinical Commissioning Groups incentive schemes.
This question was answered on 14th September 2015
Incentive schemes for clinical commissioning group (CCGs) commissioning are primarily a matter for NHS England.
NHS England’s Commissioning Committee reviewed the incentives for CCGs and providers in July 2015, and noted that “there is inconclusive evidence as to the consistent effectiveness of current incentives” .
The Committee asked for futher work to be done and for proposals to simplify the incentive schemes to be brought back later in the year.
