About the Primary Care Commissioning Committee
Our Primary Care Commissioning Committee (PCCC) is responsible for making decisions about which primary care services to commission for people living, working, and visiting Norfolk and Waveney.
The committee is made up of a lay member who leads on primary care, a lay member who leads on financial performance, the ICBs chief finance officer or deputy chief finance officer, a registered nurse, members of the executive management team, representation from the east local team of NHS England, the ICB associate director of primary care, head of medicines optimisation, a healthcare professional and two practice managers.
The PCCC meets in public every month to discuss primary care issues and make decisions. Members of the public are welcome to attend our meetings and there is an opportunity to ask questions about items on the agenda or local health services.

The following question was read out at the 21 April meeting, and the ICB’s response is below:
Question:
“What plan does the ICB have to develop a process to consider potential proposals / partnership opportunities with industry (potentially of mutual interest) and mechanism to engage with industry / pharmaceuticals companies? I have some ideas and one of them has just been accepted at Cambridge and Peterborough ICB – happy to expand on.”
The response:
“The ICB’s draft sponsorship policy is currently progressing through internal governance and will be published in June. In the meantime, we invite industry representatives to write to the ICB for the attention of our medicines management team with detailed information on their request or proposal. In considering a response, the medicines management team will have regard to the ICB’s formulary and the cost effectiveness of the pharmaceutical company’s request or proposal.”
