On the whole, respondents agreed with the proposed high-level methodological framework:

  • the preference for agreements between commissioners and providers

Consultation description

Monitor welcomes comments on this report. In particular, your views are needed on:

  • the criteria for a good framework, which are set out in the introduction to the report
  • whether local modifications should be arrived at by negotiation and agreement between NHS commissioners and providers
  • using the ‘whole provider’ analysis during a transition period
  • the proposed components of the ‘long-term toolkit’
  • whether Monitor should rely on a complaints system, rather than monitoring providers’ compliance with the conditions of a local modification
  • the practicality of implementing the different parts of the framework
