Question to the Department of Health and Social Care:
To ask the Secretary of State for Health, what the role of the PrescQIPP Programme is in relation to clinical commissioning groups.
This question was answered on 28th April 2016
The PrescQIPP NHS Programme currently has no direct role within the Department as it is an independent social enterprise.
Clinical commissioning groups (CCGs) use its materials to improve the prescribing of medicines. These are mainly publicly available for CCGs and Health Boards, with some additional subscription-only content. Their governance and annual work programme is overseen by a strategic oversight group representing the users.
