Comment on: PCTs 'not capable' of implementing Lord Darzi's NHS Next Stage Review
My response is from the Institute of Commissioning Professionals who are dedicated to raising commissioning standards and acting as the voice of commissioners. It doesnt surprise us that comments about commissioning standards are being made. Nearly two years ago we made representations to DH and DCSF regarding the state of commissioning and offered to help. Our survey of commissioners showed that there were a number of barriers to successful commissioning, not least that there are few people trained in this area. We believe that commissioning is demonstrating its own signs of market failure and that these need to be rectified before these reforms will work. Either that or their failure will discredit commissioning.
