It will come as no surprise that this year’s Commissioning Show brought about a lot of thought provoking questions.
The “who’s who” of the NHS were at June’s event wanting to know how to drive forward in this ever changing CCG shaped landscape.

Dame Barbara Hakin, National Managing Director of Commissioning Development at the NHS Commissioning Board was on hand to offer some great insight while trying to overcome these questions.
