2 The new commissioning system As part of the modernisation of the NHS, a number of changes to how health services are managed came into effect from April Primary Care Trusts (PCTs) were abolished and their functions transferred to a number of organisations: Clinical commissioning groups (CCGs) GPs, as leaders and constituent members of CCGs, are responsible for ensuring local health services meet local needs. Commissioning support units (CSU) 18 CSUs provide advice and support to help CCGs to make commissioning decisions about local health services. NHS England An independent and accountable NHS England lead on the achievement of health results and improvements in quality Public health Local government have new responsibilities for public health functions. Public Health England was established from 1 April 2013 to help improve people s health and wellbeing and protect them from threats to health. NHS Property Services Ltd (also known as PropCo) is a government owned limited company to take ownership and manage that part of the PCT estate not transferring to NHS community care provider trusts.

It is a complex process and includes assessing population needs, prioritising health outcomes, buying products and services to improve health, and managing service providers.

5 How the NEL CSU developed The North and East London CSU was co-designed by PCT clusters and CCGs in north central and north east London. Staff and local authorities were also closely involved in the work to shape the CSU. Following initial engagement with CCGs and staff, a draft prospectus was published in January 2012 setting out our vision for commissioning support. Between January and March 2012, extensive engagement with CCGs, staff and local authorities helped to refine our service offer and develop our thinking for how delivering commissioning support services to customers. An Outline Business Plan was submitted in March On-going engagement supported the development of the Full Business Plan which was submitted in August The CSU began operating in shadow form from 1 October The North and East London CSU successfully passed checkpoints one to four of the national authorisation process and went live as part of the new system from 1 April 2013
