Following on from my post on Monday about the way in which local CCGs might use the Secretary of State’s mandate to hold the NCB to account, I have had my attention drawn to some activity from the CCGs themselves. I was suggesting that since the mandate lays a number of responsibilities on the NCB to listen to the changes that the CCGs say are necessary to bring about integrated care, the CCGs could use it to hold the NCB to account.
CCGs will be able to judge the success or failure of the way in which the NCB will, or will not, help them develop integrated care. I was suggesting that they write a report on whether the NCB actually helps or not.
