Clinical Commissioning Groups in the West Midlands

In the West Midlands, there are currently 22 emerging clinical commissioning groups (CCGs)

Along with other groups across England, they have come together to take on the commissioning responsibilities as part of the Government's plans for the NHS. The groups will work together to manage their local budgets and buy health services for patients direct with other NHS colleagues and local authorities.

They will test the new commissioning arrangements to ensure they are working well before more formal processes come into place. By being in charge of the decisions that affect their patients, the emerging CCGs will be able to commission quality care that is tailored to meet the specific needs of their patients and the wider community.

Clinical commissioning groups will assume full responsibility for commissioning in April 2013.
