GP practices could see the majority of their funding - including global sum, QOF, enhanced services and premises - devolved to CCGs within a year, according to a timetable released by NHS England.

CCGs have also been asked to retender co-commissioning bids by 6 January, which more than nine out of ten CCGs submitted an interest in, after complaints their expressions of interest were ‘incorrectly categorised.’

A ‘Proposed next steps towards primary co-commissioning’ overview, released last month gives details on what exactly GP commissioners could take responsibility from April next year.

It states that the functions ‘most suitable for full delegation’ by CCGs could include GMS and PMS contracts; enhanced Services (GP and Pharmacy, “LES and DES”); property costs; and QOF (for full delegation only).

It states: ‘We have not detected an appetite in CCGs to take on revalidation and performer’s lists, and many CCGs also believe that individual and practice performance management aspects of contract management should not be open for delegation.’
