Dr Dixon: On whether the Bill helps, there is a risk on the commissioning side that CCGs will be pretty inert, apart from in one or two go-ahead areas. Remember the phrase about practice-based commissioning—it is a corpse in need of resuscitation, or not. The big risk is that commissioning will not fire, so what is in the Bill to fire up the provider side, which should be integrating to...
Simon Burns: ...some categories of overseas visitors, who are usually eligible to be charged for the hospital care that they receive. Amendment 59 makes it clear that we intend to specify in regulations that a CCG also has responsibility for ensuring that it commissions emergency services to meet the reasonable requirements of anyone in the area that it covers. That might include ambulance and accident...
Chris Grayling: ...the call for evidence on 23 June, which is available in the library and can be accessed on the Department for Work and Pensions website at: www.dwp.gov.uk/consultations/2011/local-support-replace-ccg- cl.shtml
Simon Burns: ...arrangements locally to meet the needs of their patients and their populations. The programme of local pathfinders is the practical result, as groups of GPs come together to develop emerging CCGs and to explore key issues with PCTs. It is for those reasons that the Government have not hitherto proposed requiring a particular model of governance for CCGs. The Bill as currently drafted and...
Simon Burns: I shall be brief because the Committee wants to make progress. The amendments strengthen the duty on the NHS commissioning board and CCGs to obtain appropriate clinical advice. Clinically-led commissioning is at the heart of our vision for the NHS. We want decisions about local services to be taken by those who are best placed to work with patients and the public to understand their needs....
Simon Burns: ...the NHS Future Forum. I will take the amendments in two sub-groups. The first sub-group includes amendments 76 and 118, which amend the public involvement duty on the NHS commissioning board and CCGs in new sections 13L and 14P of the 2006 Act by removing the word “significant”. The NHS commissioning board and clinical commissioning groups are currently required under new sections 13L...

Grahame Morris: ...was responding to from the hon. Member for Stafford was about the system in the Bill. My hon. Friend the Member for Leicester West contended that there is already a mechanism to deal with that in CCGs. If they work effectively with the health and well-being boards, as set out in the Bill, there will be no need to enforce such a route of access through Monitor. My argument is that Monitor...

The Green Paper also asked which organisations would be best placed to provide greater support. •Support for single application gateway, with calls to include CCG applications in process. •Support for financial health checks and further engagement, on personalised basis and not conditional to award. • Responses identified Third Sector...
John Bercow: ...end insert— 14Z12A Power of Referral of Commissioning plans to the Secretary of State (1) If the Health and Well-being Board is of the opinion under section 14Z12(1) that a plan published by the CCG under section 14Z9(6) or 14Z10(2) and which is submitted to it in accordance with section 14Z9(6) and 14Z10(3) or 14Z11(4) or (8), does not take proper account of any relevant joint health...
Andrew Lansley: ...commissioning groups will have a duty to promote integrated health and social care based around the needs of their users, and we will encourage greater integration with social care by ensuring that CCG boundaries do not cross those of local authorities without a clear rationale. The Bill has deserved the attention and passion that it has attracted, and which I am sure it will continue to...
Lord Clement-Jones: ...is heading in broadly the right direction but there are several elements that I hope to see examined very carefully during its passage. Are the new structures too cumbersome and complex? Will the CCGs and clusters have sufficient weight and expertise when commissioning from foundation trusts? How will CCGs work together in commissioning for less common conditions? In particular, I want to...
Lord Rodgers of Quarry Bank: ...GPs. They say that they are clinical experts and do not wish to become experienced commissioners, and are not interested and competent in administration. It is not clear what happens when a shadow CCG fails to meet the statutory requirement. On the face of it, the Secretary of State wants CCGs to get on with it but it could end in a confused picture by 2013. In the July White Paper, it was...
Earl Howe: ...raised. The noble Baronesses, Lady Thornton and Lady Finlay, spoke about the importance of commissioning for an area-based population. We completely agree with the general sentiment. That is why CCGs, contrary to the perception of some noble Lords, will commission for all unregistered patients within their geographic area, as well as for those on their registered lists and others to be...
Earl Howe: .... That vital principle, above all others, will make a decisive break from the past by ensuring that the needs of much smaller groups of patients can be taken into account by the commissioners. A CCG will be exercising its statutory functions appropriately only if it is meeting the reasonable needs of all the people for whom it is responsible, not just those in particular demographic areas....
Simon Burns: ...at the situation if it is so minded. If it wants to commission enhanced levels of care in an urgent care or A and E centre, it has the powers to do so if it wishes. I cannot prejudge what a local CCG might or might not want to commission in the future, but the opportunity is available. Owing to the shortage of time in the debate, I have not been able to answer all the points made by the...
Baroness Williams of Crosby: I have a quick initial question. If a CCG happens to be in the area of, say, a university medical school or medical hospital, how would the process of picking who would be on the clinical senate be handled?
