This timely book is the most comprehensive account yet of recent commissioning practice in the English NHS and its impact on health services and the healthcare system.
Drawing on eight years of research, expert researchers in the field analyse crucial aspects of commissioning, including competition and cooperation, the development of Clinical Commissioning Groups and contractual mechanisms. They also consider the influence of recent commissioning reforms on public health infrastructure.
For academics and policy makers in health services research and policy, this is a valuable collection of evidence that deepens understanding of how commissioning works.
“Commissioning has been a cornerstone of the NHS since the early 1990s but is now being challenged. This important book charts its history and impact. As the NHS embarks on further major change, its findings deserve to be heeded.“ David J Hunter, Newcastle University
“This collection of findings from recent studies of how NHS Clinical Commissioning Groups have been working shows what this part of recent English health policy has meant in practice.” Rod Sheaff, University of Plymouth
