Budgets and staff numbers from a sample of the 22 CSUs suggest they will set a total budget of approximately \u00a3670m for the 2013-14 financial year, and employ about 8,500 staff.

CSUs are expected to chase new business, so this map is set to change over time. We&#8217;ve already seen a merger of two CSUs, Merseyside and Cheshire, <a title=\"Commissioning support units and managing directors mapped\" href=\"https:\/\/samathieson.com\/sa-mathieson\/commissioning-support-units-and-managing-directors-mapped\/\">since I mapped them last autumn<\/a> (without coverage areas at that stage).<\/p>\n<p>Commissioning support units will clearly be an important part of the English NHS in future &#8211; they will provide most clinical commissioning groups with IT, business intelligence, payroll, accounting and other support services.
