10. An opinion … “There is limited experience in influencing local care markets either by an individual authority/ PCT or collaboratively across (statutory commissioning) authorities. Even where there is an appreciation of its importance, there is often a lack of capacity to spend adequate time engaging productively with providers in planning to transform health and social care services. Discussions may take place with larger providers but often commissioners make little attempt to engage with the range of smaller providers who may be important innovators, particularly for specific ‘niche’ communities’ needs”. [Kings Fund response to Transforming Adult Social Care]
