What is commissioning? Committing resources, particularly but not limited to the health and social care sectors, with the aim of improving health, reducing inequalities, and enhancing patient experience To shift decision-making as close as possible to patients, power and responsibility for commissioning will be devolved to groups of local clinicians Good commissioning places patients at the heart of the process. It is about improving peoples lives and providing high quality services, that are designed around the individual
