Assessing Commissioning Capacity & Effectiveness Outcomes • Annual Operating Framework • Quality Outcomes Framework (QoF) • Services External Review • LHB – Healthcare Standards • LA – Care and Social Services Inspectorate Wales (CSSIW) • Eg Adult Care Information Network -”Information for effective commissioning and planning”

  18. Problems & Positives • Lack of levers – tariffs/PbR • Skills – LA & LHBs; service specifications • Structure eg HCW • Population size & patient flows • Ethical framework for commissioning - individual choice not population health • Partnerships & Governance - for pooled budgets - for partnerships 7. Central strategy v local implementation • Prioritisation framework • Legal framework eg pharmacy sites • Timely resource distribution • Information – financial, activity and outcomes

  19. Strategic Planning in the future in Wales • New process for specialised commissioning • Clinical leadership & engagement • New initiatives: Value Wales • Unclear where commissioning decisions will be made • Loss of contact between health & community commissioners eg LA • Useful transferable private sector models on resource-based strategy
