• 3.1.1C: CCG has detailed financial plan that delivers financial balance, sets out how it will manage within its management allowance, and any other requirements set by the NHSCB and is integrated with the commissioning plan. (support level required: II)
• 3.1.1D: QIPP is integrated within all plans. Clear explanation of any changes to existing QIPP plans. (support level required: II)
