World Class Commissioning

World Class Commissioning (WCC) is a national programme run by the Department of Health and National Health Service in England. The aim of the programme is to help Primary Care Trusts (PCTs) ensure that they utilise the resources at their disposal to reduce health inequalities and improve health outcomes for their local populations. In 2009/10 PCTs will have in excess of £80bn to spend on health care. The WCC programme has three components:

- each PCT identifies the top 10 health outcomes that will improve the health of the population (for example heart disease) and then sets stretching goals for improvement -
