Fiona Barr asks some of the GPs who will be shaping the clinical commissioning agenda in 2012 to look forward to the year ahead.

Dr John Lockley, GP in Bedfordshire and member of the Bedfordshire Clinical Commissioning Group

I am very enthusiastic about the possibilities for CCGs and we have got some very good people involved locally. I think that next year all CCGs will need to focus on collecting the minimum data needed to provide the most useful information and make sure clinicians are involved in decisions about what data is collected. With just £25 per person management costs, we will need to use time spent on data collection and analysis very wisely.

The only time a doctor can really make a change to their referral rates is when they have a patient in front of them, so they need the information to be available at that point. I am the primary care clinical co-ordinator for an invoice validation project that our CCG is involved with alongside five other primary care trusts in NHS East of England.

We're using MedeAnalytics software to provide information to practices so they can quickly see which patients they need to target, and I can see that has huge potential for the future.
