Leicester, Leicestershire and Rutland PCT Cluster Minutes of ... - NHS

Paper T
LLR PCT Cluster Board Meeting
12 January 2012
alignment of current commissioning support staff into
CCGs (Paper R). It is envisaged that commissioning
support would include a range of functions including
finance, HR, procurement, informatics, business
intelligence, contracting but further guidance is awaited
to confirm that. Commissioning arrangements are being
split across the 3 CCGs with managerial and finance
support. That will ensure there is a link in from each of
the CCGs in a different capacity. The QIPP programme
leads will remain with the cluster for the present time.
Each CCG will need a lead for Strategy and Planning
and Ms Prema is leading on that for Leicester City CCG
at present. The Urgent Care Strategic Lead will move to
the City CCG from 1 April 2011.
Mr Suleman asked how the proportionality of costs would
be worked out e.g. UHL is a large service to lead on. Dr
Freeman believed the costs would be equitably split
based on registered population. That will need to be
reviewed in detail and included in the running costs work.
It was RESOLVED
- to approve the proposed collaborative
arrangements.
- to note the assignment of further staff to the CCG
on an interim basis.
- to move to a formal recruitment process for the
Head of Strategy and Planning role.
