Scotland
Commissioning does not take place in Scotland in the same way that it does for the rest of the UK due to it not having a purchaser/provider split in healthcare. Instead, long-term conditions services are coordinated by Community Health Partnerships with Managed Clinical Networks.
The Scottish Executive is currently consulting on a Long-Term Conditions Toolkit which will allow Community Health Partnerships to assess the extent to which their services for long term conditions match the model set out in Delivering for Health. Use of the Toolkit will be mandatory on all Community Health Partnerships.
Further information may be found through the Scottish Executive, NHS Scotland, and the National Patient Pathways.
