NHS England 21 July 2016
- For 2016/17 NHS England are introducing a new CCG Improvement and Assessment Framework (CCG IAF) to replace both the existing CCG assurance framework and CCG performance dashboard.
- This new framework aligns with NHS England’s Mandate and planning guidance, with the aim of unlocking change and improvement in a number of key areas.
- The framework is intended as a focal point for joint work and support between NHS England and CCGs and draws together the NHS Constitution, performance and finance metrics and transformational challenges. It will play an important part in the delivery of the Five Year Forward View (see CCG improvement and assessment framework 2016/17)
- Using criteria announced last year, the CCG annual ratings for 2015/16 show how each CCG has discharged its responsibilities. 10 CCGs were rated ‘outstanding’, a further 82 ‘good’, 91 were found to ‘require improvement’ and 26 CCGs rated as ‘inadequate’. (See Year-end CCG Assurance Annual assessment 2015-16)
- NHS England have also published the latest 360 stakeholder survey results for 2016
