3. The NHS was facing a complex mix of pressures- Demographics – ageing population Expectations – increasing Technology – rapidly accelerating Costs and growth – unsustainable But also ideology of choice and competition (building on changes introduced by previous Labour government)

4. The Coalition government’s response - Equity & Excellence: Liberating the NHS Government’s long term vision for NHS Put patients at the heart of everything the NHS does Focus on the continuous improvement of the things that patients (clinical outcomes) Empower clinicians to innovate and improve healthcare services (greater role for clinicians in setting direction for delivery of services) Less top down control from government

5. The Health and Social Care Bill, 2011 Provisioncovers 5 themes; Strengthening commissioning of NHS services (clinically led commissioning) Increasing democratic accountability and public voice (limiting political micromanagement, increasing LA oversight) Liberating provision of NHS services Strengthening Public Health Services Reforming health and care arm’s length bodies (decrease NHS admin. by a third to increase resources going to frontline services)

6. How does this look in Nottingham City? Formation of shadow CCG mandated by practices. Retaining clusters with their history of practice co-operation. Nottingham City and Nottinghamshire County PCT (Cluster) still exists and remains the statutory authority until April 2013. CCG staff are formally employed by PCT until April 2013. Responsibility for commissioning of healthcare services has been delegated by the PCT to the CCG. New CCG executive board consisting of 9 Nottingham City GPs and some senior staff from the PCT
