Abstract

AbstractCommissioning is an essential means, in both local government and health authorities, of improving services for people. Joint commissioning is a significant component and policy makers and managers are frequently asked how this might be developed and what barriers are to be overcome. This paper sets out to explore the developing policy framework that supports joint commissioning and the benefits and challenges. While joint commissioning might be considered a matter for local authorities and primary care trusts, this paper will also explore the role to be played by communities and those using services as well as providers.
