Clinical Commissioning Groups

Clinical Commissioning Groups (CCGs) are organizations in England responsible for planning and purchasing healthcare services for their local populations. They work with hospitals, GPs, and other providers to ensure people have access to quality care such as appointments, treatments, and community services. Funded mainly through the NHS budget, CCGs make decisions based on local health needs, aiming to improve health outcomes and efficiently use resources. They play a key role in shaping the availability and quality of healthcare services tailored to their community’s specific requirements.
