Commissioning Intentions 2016/2017 for Prescribed Specialised Services

  • Agreed changes to the Scope of Specialised Services:
    • Adult specialised severe and complex obesity services should no longer be commissioned by NHS England and should be reflected in CCG contracts from April 2016. 
    • Some highly specialist adult male urological procedures; Primary ciliary dyskinesia management services for adults and some highly specialist adult haematology services will no longer be commissioned by CCGs 
  • NHS England intend to strengthen the way they commission by building on the 10 cocommissioning oversight groups established across England, and will tier the specialised service portfolio to enable further collaborative commissioning engagement of CCGs around key geographies and place-based planning, whilst ensuring consistent national standards apply. 
  • The single operating model will be applied to all contracts in 2016/17.
