It is the latest of around 20 networks directly related to commissioning to have formed on the NHS Networks platform, which also hosts the World Class Commissioning support and development network and PBC Connection the "network of networks" for PCT and practice based commissioners. NHS Networks provides free web space, network management tools and support for collaboration and intelligence sharing. The service was re-launched in February, supports over 600 networks and is adding new networks at the rate of one a day.
