Integrated Personal Commissioning (IPC) is one of the pillars of the Five Year Forward View.
It aims to empower people and communities to take an active role in their health and wellbeing with greater choice and control over the care they need. It supports the improvement, integration and personalisation of services, building on learning from personal budgets in social care and driving bold expansion plans for personal health budgets.
This document summarises the emerging framework for IPC based on learning from the first year of delivery. It has been written for commissioners in both clinical commissioning groups (CCGs) and local authorities, their delivery partners in education and the VCSE sector, and for local authority and NHS-funded care providers. Specific components of the IPC model are clarified, with particular emphasis given to those that add the greatest impact and value for people using health and care services.
The programme is being piloted in 9 areas and will be rolled out nationally by 2018.
