Mental wellbeing of health service workers not being supported

摘要

WHAT DOES it take to be a commissioner, in our restructured and disaggregated NHS?The complexity of the new system is daunting. Let's look at children's services as an example. NHS England is responsible for commissioning primary care, including the childhood immunisation programme, health visiting and specialist care.Public health, now based in the local authorities, commissions school nursing and, from 2015, health visiting, and is responsible for assuring the quality of the immunisation programme. The local authority commissions children's centres and early years' development, special needs education and social care. Clinical commissioning groups (CCGs) commission general paediatric, community children's nursing and therapy services, as well as child and adolescent mental health services.
