Hepatitis C Commissioning Toolkit
Download
The Hepatitis C Commissioning Toolkit, originally published in September 2013 and most recently updated in September 2018, outlines the importance of effective commissioning in eliminating hepatitis C and sets out key commissioning responsibilities, with the intention of bringing clarity to an often highly fragmented commissioning landscape. The toolkit also provides a guide to commissioning cost-effective services which are tailored to the needs of people with hepatitis C, by setting out how to ensure a clear, connected and properly funded hepatitis C care pathway, as well as providing good practice examples.
