Annual Health Check
Annual Health Check 2009/10
Our Annual Health Check looks at how we are performing across our World Class Commissioning competencies, National Priorities , Existing Commitments and Use of Resources.
Use of Resources is an Audit Commission assessment of how well organisations are managing and using their resources to delivery value for money and better and sustainable outcomes for local people.
From 1 April 2009 the ‘Care Quality Commission’ (CQC) replaced the Healthcare Commission, the Commission for Social Care Inspection and the Mental Health Act Commission to provide an integrated approach to regulation across these bodies’ current areas of responsibility.
For 2009/10 The Provider arm of Central and Eastern Cheshire PCT – Cheshire East Community Health (CECH) – were asked to provide a mid year declaration to the CQC on all core standards.

World Class Commissioning:
In December 2007 the Department of Health published guidance on the World Class Commissioning programme . This outlined the means in which to transfer the way health and care services are commissioned.
There are four key elements to the programme:
- Vision for World Class Commissioning
- Competencies
- Assurance
- Support and Development
In 2009 the PCT published its first World Class Commissioning report (add link) following its assessment in November 2008. The assessment highlights area of good practice in the PCT and identifies areas for improvement.
