CTG will be attending "Making Commissioning Work", a healthcare
conference in London. The conference will discuss how the UK Health
and Social Care Bill plans to transfer £60bn of NHS funds to GP
Consortia. It is hoped that budget holding will 
motivate doctors to deliver
efficient coordinated care; however, to achieve this, the
groups will need to ensure that primary care engages closely
with specialist services in secondary care, public health, social
care and the third sector.
The BMA strongly believe that: 'successful commissioning will
only be achieved with GPs, secondary and tertiary care consultants
and other clinical colleagues working together.'
At Making Commissioning Work, the case for
multi-professional involvement in commissioning will be discussed
and analysed. With a programme of excellent speakers including
doctor representative groups, health and social care professionals
and commissioning leads, this unique event will be a valuable
opportunity for CTG to describe our services to those involved with
and affected by the new NHS commissioning model.
