Health Outcomes and budgets in the UK
« on: December 18, 2012, 17:09:58 GMT »
The NHS Commissioning Board has published its planning guidance for 2013/14, pledging to drive a revolution in NHS transparency by offering the public more information about the quality of their care. Everyone counts: planning for patients 2013/14 is a key step towards the new system for commissioning healthcare in England, built around the 211 clinical commissioning groups.
The guidance is supported by the news of the CCG allocations for 2013/14. From next April the NHS CB will oversee the expenditure of the NHS budget and for 2013/14 the sum is £95.6 billion, with £64.7 billion being given to CCGs to commission healthcare for their local populations.
The funding – which includes a real terms rise – is to enable us all to deliver more responsive health services, focused on addressing local priorities and improving outcomes for patients.
A suite of other documents is also being published to support the planning guidance, with some elements being shared today and others following later in the week. These include the CCG outcomes indicator set (formerly referred to as the Commissioning Outcomes Framework); outcome benchmarking packs for each CCG and local authority; a standard NHS contract; and information about the Quality Premium.


A lot to digest but may be of interest!
