AnnotationJoint commissioning (also referred to as collaborative commissioning) involves some of all of the following: pooling activities; combining expertise; taking joint decisions on resources; agreeing main programme priorities; and acting jointly through the planning and purchasing of services. This report discusses progress and problems arising in the joint commissioning of community care services in 1993. Attention is given to commissioning of services for older people, which, in terms of expenditure, size of population and potential for service change represent a major challenge in health and social care. The reports also concentrates on developments in joint commissioning at strategic level rather than at operational level. (RH).
