This seminar gave delegates the opportunity to discuss the future of choice and competition in the NHS. It was timed as NHS England and Monitor engaged in a joint strategy on choice and competition, and followed a report from the Competition Commission which highlighted the lack of competition within the private health sector at local levels.
Sessions focused on the commissioning of choice and competition by NHS England and CCGs, and the impact on providers from the NHS, and independent and third sectors. Delegates also discussed the new role of Monitor in dealing with anti-competitive behaviour, patient choice in the reformed NHS, and the key issues of regulation, standards and working with others to deliver integrated services.
