Legislation enacted on 1 April 2009 created a new commissioning system in Northern Ireland with the establishment of a region-wide Health and Social Care Board (including five Local Commissioning Groups (LCGs) and a Public Health Agency).
The Health and Social Care Board is required by statute to prepare and publish each year a Commissioning Plan setting out the health and social care services to be commissioned and the associated costs of delivery.
This is the second Commissioning Plan to be produced by the Health and Social Care Board and Public Health Agency. It takes forward and builds upon the key themes set out in the Commissioning Plan 2010/2011, in particular tackling health inequalities, reforming acute hospital services, reforming social care services and establishing Primary Care Partnerships.
