<p>We are advised by NHS England that the Dorset Clinical Services Review was considered
by the Wessex Clinical Senate as part of the assurance process, with NHS England.
The Clinical Senate has acknowledged the scope and volume of the work undertaken by
the Dorset Clinical Commissioning Group (CCG) to date, and welcomed the ambition to
move care closer to patients’ homes.</p><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p><p>The CCG made the
decision to delay the public consultation after reviewing the range of evidence available
to it, including findings from the Clinical Senate review, and will undertake further
planning and analysis to help set out clearly to the public how it plans to realise
its ambitions.</p><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p><p>NHS England will undertake a standard
assurance process prior to consultation to ensure proposals are robust, feasible,
sustainable, and comply with the four key tests, which are that proposals should demonstrate:
support from clinical commissioners; strengthened public and patient engagement; clarity
on the clinical evidence base; and support for patient choice.</p><p> </p><p> </p><p>
</p><p>We are advised that the CCG plans to publically consult in 2016.</p><p> </p><p>
