Ensure all children have equitable access to PICU facilities that meet the national standards regardless of where they live
Support clinical staff developing the most effective outcomes through the development of managed clinical networks
Provide a stable commissioning environment within which rational planning decisions can be made.

Stabilise the overall effect of potentially volatile activity fluctuations on PCTs and providers alike

Deliver a sustainable improvement in health outcomes and health gain from the available resources.
