Issue details

This paper sets out proposals to integrate Children’s Commissioning between the Children’s Services Department and NHS H&F.  The Assistant Director Commissioning and Performance will become the Programme Director Children’s Commissioning, drawing together a team from both Children’s Services and NHS H&F and reporting to the Managing Director NHS H&F.  Budget reporting responsibilities will be to both the Managing Director NHS H&F and the Director of Children’s Services. The aim of the development is to achieve a coherent approach to children’s commissioning, improving services and aiming to improve outcomes for children, identifying efficiencies in commissioning and delivery, whilst forging links to adult commissioning.
