Host Commissioner

NHS England (NHSE) and NHS Improvement (NHSI) published Host Commissioner guidance in January 2021. This describes a clear expectation that as the local CCG we ensure that we have assurances and maintain effective quality surveillance of all independent hospitals within our geographical boundaries. 

In North East Lincolnshire, we have Bradley Woodlands Complex Care, a hospital facility for people with complex Learning Disability and/or Autism plus Mental Health difficulties

Bradley Woodlands Complex Care accomodates people who have been placed by many different Clinical Commissioning Groups (CCGs) into our area.

Our role as Host Commissioner is to:

• Maintain quality surveillance .
• Be the point of contact for placing CCGs in relation to quality assurance queries.
• Collate intelligence and triangulate information to highlight any quality or safety issues.
• To share and request intelligence across commissioners placing people in our area.
