How will PBC be performance managed?
Answer SHAs have a direct role in challenging PCT performance on PBC. This includes ensuring the PBC framework is enabling and that practices are engaging with PBC. The Department will maintain a close interest in PBC implementation as part of the wider health reform programme, and will use the three-pronged system of indicators (described in section 6 of the guidance) to challenge the NHS to implement PBC policy, present a national picture to Parliament and to influence future policy direction.
