Shaping Health ServicesHastings LSP Dr Greg Wilcox, Clinical Chief Officer 1 Hastings & Rother CCG 1
What is a CCG? • Newly formed (1 April 2013), replacing Primary Care Trusts • Responsible for planning and commissioning safe and high quality local health services for all of our population • GP-led, supported by a small, expert management team …and why is it different? • A GP-practice membership organisation, with GPs forming the majority of the governing body • GPs are close to patients and know their needs • CCGs do not commission primary or specialist care
Hastings and Rother CCG Our vision: High quality, timely and easily accessible healthcare Our core purpose: To turn £253 million of resource into the best possible health outcomes for our population 3
Hastings and Rother CCG • 219 GPs in 32 practices • 183,677 patients • Budget of £253m • Working particularly closely with Eastbourne, Hailsham and Seaford CCG
Our main responsibilities • assessingthe health needs of our local population • planning services to meet those needs in line with priorities and within our budget • agreeing contractswith provider organisations for these services • fundingthe services we have contracts for • monitoringthe performance of service providers to ensure contracts are met in terms of waiting times, quality, safety, patient outcomes and budget.
The challenges • We are unlikely to see any significant increases in funding in the coming years • But there are year on year increases in pressure across the NHS • Therefore the CCG needs to be able to balance the books while ensuring that high quality, patient focussed care is delivered to all who need it
