Last week I spoke at the National Association of Primary Care Conference and was interested to hear the Secretary of State. As I shall explain tomorrow it was good to hear him articulate a narrative explaining why his reforms were important to an audience of future leaders of Clinical Commissioning Groups. (Even if that narrative failed to encompass the real life experiences of creating CCGs that those in the room expressed to him).

What interested me most was the way in which he talked about the nature of the commissioning support that CCGs would need as and when they become authorised.
