The draft regulations for the Provider Selection Regime (PSR) have finally been published today (19 October 2023). The new regulations will form the new basis for the commissioning and arranging of healthcare services, affecting NHS England, Integrated Care Boards, NHS Trusts and Foundation Trusts and suppliers of healthcare services.

Subject to parliamentary scrutiny, the Department for Health and Social Care intends for the PSR to come into force on 1 January 2024 and we will be providing updates and analysis to highlight key changes.
