Briefing / Glossary for NHS finance and governance
The briefing outlines who does what in the NHS in England. It then considers budget setting and monitoring, commissioning, contracting and payment systems, costing, financial performance and planning as well as governance and statutory duties.
It is not intended to be exhaustive in its coverage – instead it focuses on key terms that may be helpful and relevant when discussing different aspects of finance and governance.
