Manchester Health and Care Commissioning

This is the single commissioning body responsible for all health and care commissioning in Manchester. Effectively its main job is to issue two very large contracts – one for the Single Hospital Service and the other for the Local Care Organisation.

Manchester Health and Care Commissioning is a partnership between Manchester City Council and the Manchester Clinical Commissioning Group. It brings together the commissioning of health, adult social care and public health in a single partnership arrangement.

The JSNA (available on the Manchester City Council website) comprises of both a Childrens and Young People and a separate Adults and Older People JSNAs along with Area Profiles which have detailed information on neighbourhoods.
