We explore the worlds of finance and commissioning in the NHS with insights from Patrick McGinley (Head of Costings and SLR, Maidstone & Tunbridge Wells NHS Trust) and Patricia Whelan-Moss (Head of Organisational Development – Brent CCG). In this COVID-19 series, Tom Clarke (Director -  NHS Insights & Interaction, Mtech Access) asks experts holding operational, strategic and clinical roles across the NHS to share their experiences and insights into how the NHS has responded to COVID-19 and the wider challenges facing the health service.In this episode, Tom asks Patricia about the changes she has seen in the world of her CCG. He then speaks to Patrick about the changes in the NHS' finances as a result of the COVID pandemic. Tom asks Patrick what changes he expects to last and what these could mean for care delivery in the long term. He then comes back to Patricia to discuss how COVID might change the commissioning landscape. This episode was originally broadcast on 24th April 2020 as a webinar.
