Horizon scanning

Current and future problematic areas of healthcare commissioning

We are trying to get a robust understanding of existing time-consuming or contentious areas of commissioning, along with predictions of major areas in future.  Please click the link below to download the latest copy of a spreadsheet containing the thoughts of other PHCN members.  Areas are set out by programme budget category (with a few additional categories), with current and future issues highlighted.
