Baxter, K., Weiss, M. and Le Grand, J. (2007) Collaborative Commissioning of Secondary Care Services by Primary Care Trusts. Public Money and Management, 27 (3). pp. 207-14. ISSN 0954-0962
Abstract
This article examines collaborations between primary care trusts in the commissioning of secondary care services in England. It applies principal-agent theory qualitatively to two case studies. The theory suggests that collaboration should take place if organizations share relevant information and agree joint objectives. The study findings show that sharing information is not a major problem for these case studies, but that agreeing joint objectives is.
