On the pathway to integration, integrated commissioning processes can be viewed as an indicator of embedded integrative principles. Integrated commissioning and provision. Structural integration requires that different organisations either merged or have some sort of formal partnership or joint-venture arrangement. What are the most common issues faced when beginning integrated commissioning? The government set out objectives around integration and wanted to see improvements in the way in which people experienced transitions between different care settings.
The NHS Commissioning Board was asked to drive and coordinate engagement with local authorities, CCGs and providers, and work with national bodies to tackle the barriers which had previously prevented services from being coordinated and integrated. The change of name was in recognition of the new public-facing role the board would adopt once It had taken on its full responsibilities. The title 'NHS England' was thought to 'provide a clearer, less technical sense of its remit and enable it to connect more effectively with the public'.

Joint or integrated commissioning CCGs CCGs are increasingly working together to commission services across their local populations and deliver economies of scale. CCGs and local authorities Many CCGs and local authorities are also working together to support more integrated health and social care. Devolution In some places, devolution is being used to support system-wide approaches to commissioning.
Providers and commissioning There are also examples of providers taking on a greater role in commissioning and it is likely that as new integrated provider models develop, this will start to happen more frequently.

A very clear, lucid, and accurate account of the current structure of 'formal' commissioning within the NHS. I appreciate that much commissioning with the NHS is still deeply constrained - for both good and bad reasons - but the 'commissioning cycle' which illustrates the start of this article is, to me, a useful staging point, but talks about managing reducing budget to meet increasing need through procuring services.
Some commissioning practice, across sectors, now focuses far more on achieving individual and group outcomes by marshalling resources conceived widely, including community, voluntarism, individual strengths and actions etc etc to test and learn from interventions - an outcome not a service focus. I would hate readers to think that the excellent definition in this article represents the full breadth of developments in commissioning. I would have thought "Demand Analysis" should be done before designing of service delivery and procurement.
However, I am yet to see any detailed analysis of patient demand except often it is reported that the demand has increased due to increase in elderly population increasing. While this may happen but not been ever produced in real data. Completely agree with Patricia. Statutory organisations could and should do more to promote the work done by charities, given the crucial contribution they make. This would mean, i suspect, some sort of 'paradigm shift' in the way we perceive and attribute value to non-paid activity, particularly in crisis situations that reveal the paucity of statutory resources and the extraordinary resourcefulness of people when they must rely on themselves.
The current organisational structure does not fully recognise any partnership working other than NHS bodies, health and wellbeing is a fey function of delivery of care,so not involving key partners such as charities is shortsighted. There would be a great deal of benefit gained form working with those voluntary and registered charity organisations who work to support local communities and also deliver services to local communities.
None of the commissioning involves working collaboratively with these groups,apart form the occasional spot purchasing of services when the NHS finds itself is under pressure. Some recognition by way of partnership working would go a long way to giving these organisations some recognition. If they are good enough when the pressure is on, then surely they should be a preferred partner in the grand scheme of things.
