Practice based commissioning in 2008-09

January 2008

The Department of Health (DH) published a fairly brief guidance note ‘Practice based commissioning – budget setting refinements and clarification of health funding flexibilities, incentive schemes and governance’ on 20 December 2007. This guidance note, which applies to 2008-09, can be found online - go there now.

For the most part, PBC will continue along the same lines in 2008-09 as at present and so the requirements and arrangements detailed in the DH guidance for 2007-08, ‘Practice based commissioning: practical implementation’ and the correlating GPC guidance note still stand.

This GPC guidance sets out the changes that will apply from April 2008.
