CCG uncertainty about working with CSS

At the end of May an NHS Clinical Commissioner survey of 141 CCGs found that 64% of them wanted more advice about how to procure commissioning support and that 29% of groups did not know the 'pattern' of commissioning support they would want once they become statutory bodies when PCTs are abolished in April.  The University of Birmingham The NHS Commissioning Board Authority (NHSCBA) in partnership with the NHS Alliance and NAPC clinical commissioning coalition have run a series of events to support CCGs to become informed customers of Commissioning Support Services (CSSs).
