1 May 2012 The NHS medicines bill for 2010 was 12.9 billion, of which secondary care costs accounted for 32%. Prescribing inflation in 2010 ran at 4.8% and it is estimated that around 14% of total CCG budgets will be spent on medicines. However, medicines optimisation is more than just about costs. Its focus is the use of medicines by patients (adherence) and the role that evidence-based prescribing has in supporting new care pathways and treatment models to improve patient outcomes. Excellent progress has been made over the last 15 years in improving prescribing efficiency and safety but optimising medicines by CCGs will be a key component of their success as organisations and to the patients they serve. This toolkit supports CCGs in their journey towards authorisation, focusing on one of the major elements of healthcare expenditure prescribing and the essential associated medicines management and optimisation functions that underpin its safe, effective and financial management. In July 2011 the National Prescribing Centre (NPC) published An Organisational Competency Framework to Ensure the Effective Delivery of Medicines Management Functions and Responsibilities, Provided by NICE, the document supports emerging CCGs and their development regarding medicines management and optimisation. In this toolkit each of the NPC indicators that underpin the six overarching competencies is allocated to one of the six CCG domains central to the authorisation process. Alongside each competency statement are one or more suggestions for the type of evidence the CCG should have, or be developing, to demonstrate it is meeting that competency and therefore supporting the overall aims of the domain in which it sits. PCC May
2 Domain 1 Clinical focus a strong clinical and multi-professional focus, which bring real added value A great CCG will have a clinical perspective threaded through everything it does, which puts quality at its heart and a real focus on outcomes. It will have significant engagement from its constituent practices as well as widespread involvement of all other clinical colleagues: clinicians providing health services locally including secondary care, community and mental health, those providing services to people with learning disabilities, public health experts, and social care colleagues. It will communicate a clear vision of the improvements it is seeking to make in the health of the locality, including population health. NPC indicators 14.

5 Domain 2 Engagement meaningful engagement with patients, carers and their communities CCGs need to show how they will include patients, carers, public, communities of interest and geography, health and wellbeing boards and local authorities. They should have mechanisms for gaining a broad range of views, then analyse and act on these. It should be evident how the views of individual patients are translated into commissioning decisions and how the voice of each practice population will be sought and acted upon. CCGs need to promote shared decision-making with patients about their care. NPC indicators 2. Fulfils the requirements of the NHS constitution regarding patients access to medicines 3.

CCGs should have a credible plan for how they will continue to deliver the local QIPP challenge for their health system, and meet the NHS constitution requirements. These plans will set out how the CCG will take responsibility for service transformation that will improve outcomes, quality and productivity, while reducing unwarranted variation and tackling inequalities within the financial allocation.

10 Domain 4 Proper constitutional and governance arrangements with the capacity and capability to deliver all their duties and responsibilities, including financial control, as well as efficiently commission all services for which they are responsible CCGs need the capacity and capability to carry out their corporate and commissioning responsibilities.
