answer text <p>Clinical commissioning groups (CCGs) are independent organisations responsible for their own commissioning decisions. NHS England is accountable for ensuring that CCGs commission services that are high quality, and deliver value for money; this is assessed through mechanisms such as the CCG Improvement and Assessment Framework. Where performance concerns are identified, NHS England has the ability to exercise formal powers to either provide enhanced support to a CCG, or to issue legal directions where it believes that a CCG is failing or is at risk of failing to discharge its functions.</p><p> </p><p>The Department holds NHS England to account for improving the performance of CCGs. This is done through mechanisms such as the Mandate to NHS England.</p> more like this

Conversely, apparent increases in activity may be due to improved recording of diagnosis or procedure information.

answer text <p>Penalties are issued in accordance with The National Health Service (Penalty Charge) Regulations 1999 where an exemption claimed cannot be verified. The current penalty charges do not differentiate between fraud and error. When a patient does not pay for a prescription they have a responsibility to declare a valid exemption. Further communication campaigns will be carried out over the next 12 months to increase awareness and patient understanding of qualifying benefits and exemptions.</p> more like this
