The organisations that will hold and be responsible for managing GP contracts from 1 April have still not been fully assembled, the chair of the NHS Commissioning Board has admitted.
Professor Malcolm Grant told the Commissioning Live event in Leeds that with just 11 days to go until the handover from PCTs, some local area teams had yet to be fully established.
He also acknowledged that there would be ?tensions? between the NHS Commissioning Board and CCGs over their separate commissioning responsibilites , and admitted the board had ?struggled? with the financial allocations for each commissioning group.
Professor Grant said: ?I think there will be tensions in the way CCGs operate. I think one of them will be trying to understand where is the boundary between where what we will be doing in terms of national specialised commissioning and what is happening in CCGs.?
