The Purpose of the Strategic Commissioning Committee
1.1
The primary role of the Strategic Commissioning Committee (SCC) will be to focus on delivery and decision making for the LSC population (transition to ICS and Place Partnerships) operating in a shadow ICS Committee role, but with the authority to make decisions at a Lancashire and South Cumbria level through the statutory vehicle of the Joint Committee of CCGs. This maximizes the potential of “One decision – One committee”.
The establishment of the Committee continues to comply with and supports each statutory commissioning organisational requirements in 2021/22.
The decision-making role of the LSC Strategic Commissioning Committee (using JCCCG as the statutory vehicle for single decision making) are:
- Strategic commissioning decisions for all ICS Priority Programmes
- ICS level Quality and Performance assurance and oversight
- ICS level financial, activity and contract assurance and sign-off
- NHSE “Single point of Contact” for assurance framework
- Consultation oversight and approval
- Delegation and funding arrangements to place (via “place representatives”)
- Strategic co-ordination of joint commissioning arrangements with Local Authorities (s75/BCF etc.)
- Approval of the annual commissioning work programme
- Assurance and oversight of CCG Transition Management (statutory transition).
The purpose of the Committee is to bring together the leadership of the eight Lancashire and South Cumbria Clinical Commissioning Groups (JCCCGs) together with ICS strategic commissioning leaders who have collectively committed to improve and transform health and care services across the area, delivering the highest quality of care possible within the resources available.
The work of the Committee is designed to deliver on the ambitions, commitments and priorities set out in the NHS Long Term Plan and the Lancashire and South Cumbria ICS Strategy.
The Strategic Commissioning Committee will aim to:
a. Reduce unwarranted variation in the range and quality of services available to people living in different boroughs in Lancashire and South Cumbria by improving outcomes in areas that are below average and driving up outcomes overall
b. Ensure key clinical standards are consistently met across the patch, so that all people receive the highest possible care and best outcomes
c. Provide a joined-up approach to the commissioning of acute, community and mental health services, enabling the commissioners to work effectively with major health and care providers to ultimately improve quality of outcomes for patients
d. Work collectively to ensure progress towards and ultimately delivery of financial sustainability (agreed control totals) at both ICP and ICS levels
e. Provide leadership in developing new ways of working as set-out in the NHS Plan including:
i. Supporting the continuing establishment of the Lancashire and South Cumbria ICS
ii. Reform of the commissioning system
iii. Development of integrated care partnerships.
1.2
The primary purpose of the Committee is to take collective commissioning decisions about services provided to the Lancashire and South Cumbria population.
1.3
Decisions will be taken by the Committee in accordance with delegated authority from their respective organisation.
1.4
Guiding principles:
- The Lancashire and South Cumbria Strategic Commissioning Committee will adhere to the following principles already adopted by the Healthy Lancashire and South Cumbria (HLSC) Programme:
- People and patients come first – delivering parity of esteem and outcomes – fairness and timeliness of access to support
- Delivering a clinically and financially sustainable health and care system across HLSC
- Clinically-led, co-design and collaboration across HLSC health and care system, delivering integrated support
- Aligning priorities across local health and care systems and organisations – managing sovereignty and risk
- Prioritised effort on greatest benefit – improving quality and outcomes efficiently and effectively
- Ensuring Value for Money. Getting it right first time
- Alignment of effort and resource across the system
- Built upon innovation, international evidence and proven best practice
- Subsidiarity with clear framework of mutual accountability.
1.5
The Committee will meet collaboratively with NHS England (NHSE) to make decisions in respect of those services within the ICS, which are directly commissioned by NHSE.
2. Geographic Coverage
2.1
The Committee shall cover the geographic footprint of the Lancashire and South Cumbria Integrated Care System (ICS)
2.2
The Strategic Commissioning Committee acts wholly and entirely as a vehicle to discharge the same delegated authority as the preceding Joint Committee of Clinical Commissioning Groups (‘JCCCGs’) and therefore must retain membership from:
- NHS Blackburn with Darwen CCG;
- NHS Blackpool CCG;
- NHS Chorley & South Ribble CCG;
- NHS East Lancashire CCG;
- NHS Fylde & Wyre CCG;
- NHS Greater Preston CCG;
- NHS Morecambe Bay CCG;
- NHS West Lancashire CCG.
2.3
Specialised services commissioned by NHS England for the population of Lancashire and South Cumbria whilst outside the delegated authority of the Committee will be involved through a collaborative commissioning arrangement.
2.4
Services commissioned by Local Authorities for the population of Lancashire and South Cumbria whilst outside the delegated authority of the Committee will be involved through, wherever appropriate, a collaborative commissioning arrangement (including BCF/iBCF/Section 75s etc.)
3. Accountability & Responsibility - Statutory Framework
3.1
The NHS Act 2006 (as amended) was amended through the introduction of a Legislative Reform Order (LRO 2014/2436) to form joint committees. This means that two or more CCG’s exercising commissioning functions jointly may form a joint committee as a result of the LRO amendment to s.14Z3 of the NHS Act, which created s.14Z3 (2A). Joint committees are statutory mechanisms which enable CCGs to undertake collective decision making.
3.2
The CCGs named in paragraph 2.2 above, have delegated the functions set out in Schedule 1 to the Strategic Commissioning Committee for commissioning services and functions as set-out in section 1.1.
3.3
Joint committees are a statutory mechanism, which gives CCGs an additional option for undertaking collective strategic decision making. Whilst NHSE will make decisions on Commissioning Specialised services separate from the Joint Committee, it has been decided that decisions on those services will be undertaken on a collaborative basis. This will allow sequential decisions to be undertaken allowing clarity of responsibility, but also recognising the linkage between the two decisions.
3.4
Individual CCGs and NHSE will still always remain accountable for meeting their statutory duties. The aim of creating a Strategic Commissioning committee is to support strong collaborative and integrated relationships and decision-making between partners.
4. Role of the Strategic Commissioning Committee of CCGs
4.1
The overarching role of the Committee is to take collective commissioning decisions about services provided for the Lancashire and South Cumbria population. Decisions will be taken by the Committee in accordance with delegated authority from their organisation. Members will represent the whole Lancashire and South Cumbria population and make decisions in the interests of all patients.
4.2
Decisions will support the strategy, aims and objectives of the Lancashire and South Cumbria ICS and will contribute to the sustainability and transformation of local health and social care systems. The Committee will at all times, act in accordance with all relevant laws and guidance applicable to the membership.
4.3
The role of the committee will be to exercise the collective functions of the Membership with respect to:

l. The Committee will be delegated the capacity to propose, consult on and agree future service configurations that will shape the medium and long terms financial plans of the constituent organisations. The Joint Committee will have no contract negotiation powers meaning that it will not be the body for formal annual contract negotiation between commissioners and providers. These processes will continue to be the responsibility of Clinical Commissioning Groups and NHS England under national guidance, tariffs and contracts during the pre-consultation and consultation periods.

This should include consideration of any recommendations made by the ICS Board, or views expressed by the Joint Health Overview and Scrutiny Committee or any other relevant organisations and stakeholders.
At all times, the Committee, through undertaking the decision-making function of each member CCG will act in accordance with the terms of their constitutions. No decision outcome shall impede any organisation in the fulfillment of its statutory duties.
