Sponsored video: NAPC Roundtable Highlights - £25 Management Allowance

10 Feb 2012

Pulse, in association with the NAPC, presents this lively discussion between leading commissioners on ways to ensure that CCGs  have the powers and independence needed to succeed.

The debate highlights the limitations of the draft guidelines on commissioning support and stresses the importance of localism and flexibility in shaping the future of CCGs. Our  expert panel express optimism about a future of co-commissioning but concern that the £25 management allowance will stifle the necessary innovation.
