The work to support the 11 challenged health economies was commissioned jointly by Monitor, NHS Trust Development Authority and NHS England.

Consultancy firms were not commissioned to produce reports on the local health economies, as described in the question, but to support the local health economies with the development and strengthening of their strategic plans.
