title: Commissioning. Meet the new power in primary care.
abstract: Practices and PCTs will need to negotiate a variety of options when implementing practice-led commissioning. Available options include how much power is devolved to practices, what services they will be commissioning and the incentives on offer. Practices must be regulated by PCTs. Their decisions should also be made in line with the broad strategic aims of their PCTs.
