Developing new commissioning arrangements in north east London The - - PowerPoint PPT Presentation

Developing new commissioning arrangements in north east London

• The seven clinical commissioning groups in north east London are working

together where it makes sense and is the best interests of patients to do so

• Collectively known as the NHS North East London Commissioning Alliance
• Aim to work together more closely across north east London across CCGs,

NHS organisations, local authorities and the voluntary and community sector

• CCGs and the Alliance, individually and collectively, are members of the

East London Health and Care Partnership (NEL STP).

• City and Hackney CCG
• Havering CCG
• Redbridge CCG
• Waltham Forest CCG

Barking and Dagenham CCG Newham CCG Tower Hamlets CCG

Working together

• Need to make sure that our commissioning will significantly improve

both services and health outcomes, including:

• Developing prevention and self-care
• Better primary and community services
• Demand and capacity planning across hospitals
• Specialised health services (from 2019/20)
• Working together means reducing fragmentation and duplication by

adopting common approaches, and doing things once where it makes sense to do so – we’ve done this successfully e.g. maternity, cancer – need to build on this.

• The majority of decisions will continue to be made at borough-

level.

Boroughs are key

Individual CCGs remain legally responsible for the delivery

• f their responsibilities and joint commissioning with local

authorities – the Alliance arrangements do not change this. City and Hackney CCG continues to exist, and will make the majority of decisions regarding commissioning services for local people. Decisions made by the Alliance’s joint commissioning committee (JCC) must be unanimous and cannot be made without City and Hackney CCG representation.

NEL Commissioning Alliance

• All CCGs are represented on the Joint Commissioning Committee
• Any decisions reached must be unanimous and all CCGs must be

represented for that decision to be made

What does this mean for patients and the public?

• For patients: a more joined up, efficient, consistent,

local NHS with improved pathways and care

• Need to develop how we work with patients and making

sure their views are at the heart of what we commission – lots of best practice in Hackney to learn from

• Build on what works already and the existing systems

and processes in place - recognise the importance of local networks and engagement at a local level

• Each borough is unique – recognise that a once for

north east London approach will not work for everything.
