A good place to start looking at these tools and more is in the My IC tool from the Information Centre. You can select the Commissioning profile when you register (it's free), and you will get a default dashboard full of commissioning tools and websites, with more available from the Content Library, sortable by Commissioning. http://myic.ic.nhs.uk .

A single GP in fundholding can do it but a load of managers in PCT, GP commissioning can't. anon
