Introduction The Health and Social Care Act of 2012 provided legislation for the biggest reforms in health and social care since the inception of the NHS. It laid out changes locally and nationally. It abolished NHS primary care trusts (PCTs) and Strategic Health Authorities (SHAs) and established new commissioning systems. Clinical Commissioning Groups, made up of doctors, nurses and other professionals are now responsible for buying most health services locally with some services commissioned centrally by NHS England. Local councils have now taken on their new role in promoting public health. Health and Wellbeing Boards, established under the new Act have brought together local organisations to work in partnership and local Healthwatch provide a powerful voice for patients and local communities. At the national level, organisations also created in the new structures, including NHS England, Public Health England and Healthwatch England provide support, advice and guidance.

Care Quality Commission (CQC)

The independent regulator which checks whether hospitals, care homes, dental and general practices, and other care services in England provide people with safe, effective, and high-quality care. The CQC does this by setting standards, registering providers, and monitoring, inspecting, and regulating care services to make sure that they continue to meet the standards. The CQC also has an important role to play in involving the public and people who receive care in their work. Their website is www.cqc.org.uk

Clinical Commissioning Groups (CCGs)

Clinical Commissioning Groups (CCGs) commission most of the hospital and community NHS services in the local areas for which they are responsible. Commissioning involves deciding what services are needed, and ensuring that they are provided. CCGs are overseen by NHS England, which retains responsibility for commissioning primary care services such as GP and dental services, as well as some specialised hospital services. All GP practices now belong to a CCG, but groups also include other health professionals, such as nurses and two independent members one of whom must be a champion of patient and public involvement and the other will have a lead role in overseeing key governance issues such as audit, and conflicts of interest. CCGs will use the Joint Strategic Needs Assessment (JSNA) and Joint Health and Wellbeing Strategy when drawing up their commissioning plans.

Commissioning Support Units Local and national commissioning support services (CSS) offer an efficient, locally-sensitive and customer-focused service to CCGs. CCGs will retain legal accountability and responsibility for meeting their statutory functions and their commissioning decisions cannot be delegated but the Commissioning Support Service will support CCGs in carrying out commissioning functions, like leading change and service redesign, as well as actual commissioning functions, such as procurement, contract negotiation and monitoring and information analysis.

Health Education England

Provides oversight and leadership for professional education and training.

Healthwatch England

Works to champion Healthwatch at a national level and support the local Health-watch network. Healthwatch England has the power to recommend that action is taken by the Care Quality Commission (CQC) when there are concerns about health and social care services.

Local Authorities Commissioning for Public Health

Local authorities are now responsible for public health commissioning and have appointed new Directors of Public Health (DPH). Local authorities are also responsi-ble for providing some public health services in conjunction with Public Health England. Overall local authorities now have a much greater role shaping services.

Local Healthwatch

New independent consumer champions who will represent the views of people who use services and also carers. Local Healthwatch organisations have a voting seat at Local Health and Wellbeing boards, provide an NHS complaints advocacy service and report concerns about the quality of healthcare to the Care Quality Commission and Healthwatch England.

Joint Health and Wellbeing Strategy Each Health and Wellbeing Board will be required to draw up a joint and high level Health and Wellbeing Strategy, informed by the Joint Strategic Needs Assessment. It will set the overall strategic direction for Health and Wellbeing.

Joint Strategic Needs Assessments (JSNA) A collection of information that aims to identify the Health and Wellbeing needs of the local population in each local authority area. The information helps to inform decisions around public service provision. Health and Wellbeing Boards will use the JSNA to develop the Health and Wellbeing Strategy and set commissioning priorities.

Monitor Will have a core duty to protect and promote patients' interests. In the medium term this means continuing to assess NHS trusts for foundation trust status, and for ensuring that foundation trusts are financially viable and well-led, in terms of both quality and finances. In the future Monitor will license providers of NHS services in England and exercise functions in three areas: regulating prices, enabling integrated care and preventing anti-competitive behaviour, and supporting service continuity.

NHS England Improves patient outcomes by developing and managing an effective system of clinical commissioning groups. The Board will authorise clinical commissioning groups, allocate resources and commission certain services commissioning services that can only be provided efficiently and effectively at a national or a regional level. It will host clinical networks (to advise on single areas of care) and clinical senates (to provide clinical advise on commissioning plans).

National Institute for Health and Care Excellence (NICE) Will continue to provide independent advice and guidance and will extend its role to social care.

Public Health England Will be part of the Department of Health, responsible for leading action to promote the health of the population, working with local authorities and other partners. Public health and local authorities will jointly appoint Directors of Public Health (DsPH) who will be responsible for the health of their local populations.

Trust Development Agency (TDA) The NHS Trust Development Authority (TDA) is responsible for providing leadership and support to the non-Foundation Trust sector of NHS providers. This includes 99 NHS Trusts, providing around 30bn of NHS funded care each year. The TDA oversee the performance management of these NHS Trusts, ensuring they provide high quality sustainable services, and will provide guidance and support on their journey to achieving Foundation Trust status. The Trust Development Authoritys key functions include: monitoring the performance of NHS Trusts, and providing support to help them improve the quality and sustainability of their services; assurance of clinical quality, governance and risk in NHS Trusts; supporting the transition of NHS Trusts to Foundation Trust status and appointments to NHS Trusts of chairs and non-executive members and trustees for NHS Charities where the Secretary of State has a power to appoint.
