The aims of the clinical commissioning locally commissioned service (LCS) are to:

• encourage clinical involvement in commissioning generally and commissioning decision-making, notably with assessing local needs, identifying local priorities and proposing new care pathways
• promote partnership working between GP practices and across health and social care in the context of primary care networks and the integrated care partnership
• promote the importance of patient involvement and participation in commissioning and strengthening links with one’s own patients
• strengthen two-way communication and sharing of ideas between NCL ICB's governing body and constituent practices
• support constituent practices to engage in the commissioning cycle and to use data effectively (e.g. referrals) to help change and improve outcomes
• maintain the multi-disciplinary team process in Islington with the integrated networks.
