Department of Health

World class commissioning has never been more important - it has a crucial role to play in improving health outcomes, quality and productivity in a challenging economic climate. Commissioners will have to make clear choices about how to invest to achieve the greatest benefit for their communities. They will only add years to life and life to years if they understand the current and future needs of their population and make courageous plans to address them.
