This case study is written for clinicians, service managers and commissioners to illustrate the complexities in commissioning and procuring a new service for people with long term conditions if existing services do not address patients’ needs. It is accompanied by a set of suggested “dos and don’ts” on the last page.

PCC has published four Primary Care Service Frameworks: Long Term Conditions, Support for Self Care, Sexual Health and Obesity. Each Primary Care Service Framework is a generic, comprehensive and enhanced service specification for PCT commissioners and Practice Based Commissioners for 2007/08. Each Primary Care Service Framework has been developed in the context of the Commissioning Framework, White Paper implementation, key national priorities and targets, and delivery mechanisms of Practice Based Commissioning.
The Information Access Toolkit is designed to help commissioners and providers of health and social care services to meet the information needs of people with long-term neurological conditions. The toolkit was developed over two years by the Information Access Project at the Brain and Spine Foundation, and was launched during Brain Awareness Week (12-18 March 2007) at Spinal Injury Association House in Milton Keynes.
