This toolkit supports CCGs in their journey towards authorisation, focusing on one of the major elements of healthcare expenditure – prescribing – and the essential associated medicines management and optimisation functions that underpin its safe, effective and financial management. In this toolkit each of the NPC indicators that underpin the six overarching competencies is allocated to one of the six CCG domains central to the authorisation process. Alongside each competency statement are one or more suggestions for the type of evidence the CCG should have, or be developing, to demonstrate it is meeting that competency and therefore supporting the overall aims of the domain in which it sits.
