•
‘Grasp the nettle’ and have proper conversations with Providers about money
Give Providers greater control in setting rates and pricing structures
Use different prices to reflect different type and level of provision
Implement an appropriate price review mechanism
Move towards paying for outcomes, not inputs
BCC won’t pay for: Added extras, nice to have’s or provider specific costs
Quality
• Clarify what we mean by quality
• Ensure clear link between what a person needs, what is provided and what is achieved
• Quality is about meetings people’s needs and outcomes – no more or less.
Relationships
• Better use of Commissioning Strategies, Plans and Market Position Statements
• Joined up commissioning with health – e.g. joint contracts / arrangements with providers
