CLINICAL COMMISSIONING GOVERNANCE AND CONSULTATION
The Electoral Reform Services group has been providing balloting and governance services to NHS bodies since 2003. As the NHS moves towards clinical led commissioning the need for robust public accountability and inclusive patient engagement has never been greater.
PUBLIC CONSULTATIONS ON COMMISSIONING PLANS
The NHS Future Forum has suggested that ‘Commissioners should be required to consult publicly under the statutory consultation rules on their commissioning plans’.
Membership Engagement Services (MES) has successfully delivered robust and inclusive public consultations on behalf of aspirant Foundation Trusts in accordance with statutory requirements. We are experts in delivering public consultations on behalf of the NHS, and can support clinical commissioning groups on their road to authorisation and beyond.
