The five Clinical Commissioning Groups (CCGs) in north central London (Barnet, Camden, Enfield, Haringey and Islington) are proposing to commission the NHS 111 and GP out-of-hours services through a combined contract across north central London (NCL). Engagement with local people has been ongoing.
As part of the commissioning process, contract documentation will be created to describe the kind of service that is required - this is called a service specification. This will help organisations who are interested in providing the new service understand what will be required from them and the type of quality measures the CCGs will be using to manage the performance of the future providers.
The CCGs would like to ensure that our NHS 111 and out-of-hours services meet local needs and deliver the best possible standard of care, and are therefore sharing the draft specification online so that people can see the detail of what is being proposed and offer any additional comments.
Information about the engagement and the reasons behind these proposals can be found here.
The draft service specification can be found here.
If you would like to comment on this draft specification, please e-mail or call 020 3688 1615. The document will be online for comments until 19 August 2015.
