The recent white paper Equity and excellence: Liberating the NHS demonstrates a commitment to long term conditions stating that they will “introduce choice in care for long-term conditions as part of personalised care planning from 2011.”

“Commissioning by GP consortia will mean that the redesign of patient pathways and local services is always clinically-led and based on more effective dialogue and partnership with hospital specialists. It will bring together responsibility for clinical decisions and for the financial consequences of these decisions. This will reinforce the crucial role that GPs already play in committing NHS resources through their daily clinical decisions – not only in terms of referrals and prescribing, but also how well they manage long-term conditions, and the accessibility of their services. It will increase efficiency, by enabling GPs to strip out activities that do not have appreciable benefits for patients’ health or healthcare.”
