Documentation
Description:
the BCF encourages integration by requiring integrated care systems and local authorities to enter into pooled budget arrangements and agree an integrated spending plan.
Compliance with the requirements of the BCF programme is monitored via the BCF Quarterly Reporting collection. Data is submitted to NHS England by BCF leads in Local Authorities (LAs) and Clinical Commissioning Groups (CCGs).
The data is used to assess both the progress and needs of the CCGs and LAs in the BCF programme.
