The article offers a look at the commissioning of patient services by a group of general practitioners in Northamptonshire in England following the publication of the British government's health white paper in July 2010. It cites the reasons for the decision of the Nene Commissioning office in Northamptonshire to move away from primary care trust (PCT) control. The article also presents the views of several general practitioners, such as Anil Mehta and Darin Seiger, on the advantages and disadvantages of commissioning.
