New plan for amalgamating BLMK’s three CCGs: share your view by Sept. 13th 2020
From 1 April 2021, Bedfordshire, Luton and Milton Keynes CCGs are planning to become one single NHS Clinical Commissioning Group (CCG) in line with NHS England’s Long Term Plan.
This will have an impact on how they operate as commissioners, (commissioning is the process by which health and care services are planned, purchased and monitored) and how they work together in the future.
Over the next few months, they will be engaging with GP Members, their staff, local service providers, councils, other partners and patients to listen to all views before they submit their final application in September 2020.
In the meantime you have the opportunity to share your views in a questionnaire: it is now live and is open until Sunday 13 September.Click here to take the survey.
Please read the Public Engagement Document that accompanies the questionnaire. This explains what they are proposing, and why.
They really value your comments, so please let them know your views by completing the survey.
If you would like more information on the proposed changes, please email: blmkcc.feedback@nhs.net.
