Clinical Commissioning Groups: Standards

Question

To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, what discussions he has had with the (a) CEO, (b) Accountable Officers and (c) chief nurses of the CCGs rated as inadequate in NHS England’s assessment framework on the performance of those CCGs; what measures have been agreed to help ensure improvement of the performance of those CCGs; and if he will make a statement.

Answer

My Rt. hon. Friend the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care has meetings with many health leaders and other key stakeholders on a regular basis.

All clinical commissioning groups (CCGs) rated as inadequate in the annual performance assessment of CCGs are placed in NHS England’s special measures regime. This is a non-statutory, internal support regime, tailored to the CCG’s circumstances, requiring the delivery of an action plan for improvement.
