The world class commissioning programme aims to dramatically transform the way we commission health and care services in this country. By strengthening commissioning capability it intends to deliver better health and well-being for all, better care for all and better value for all.

The vision is that world class commissioning will deliver better health and well-being for all:

• People will live healthier and longer lives
• Health inequalities will be dramatically reduced.

It will deliver better care for all:

• Services will be evidence-based and of the best quality
• People will have choice and control over the services that they use, so they become more personalised.

It will deliver better value for all:

• Investment decisions will be made in an informed and considered way, ensuring that improvements are delivered within available resources
• PCTs will work with others to optimise effective care.
