Monitor: 17 January 2014
- From 1 April 2014, all providers of health care services for the NHS, including independent providers, will require a Monitor licence unless they are exempt (under regulations made by the Department of Health).
- NHS commissioners have primary responsibility for ensuring the continuity of services for patients in their area. That responsibility includes designating a range of services commissioners believe should continue to be provided locally if any individual provider is at risk of failing financially - Commissioner Requested Services. All providers of Commissioner Requested Services will need a licence.
- This document includes actions which must be taken by CCGs before April 2014.
