About Nhs Salford Clinical Commissioning Group
Every GP in Salford is a member of Salford CCG. It's the organisation that plans how to spend the NHS budget on the majority of health services for Salford
Nhs Salford Clinical Commissioning Group Description
In April 2013, the NHS went through the biggest changes to its structure during its 65-year history. Clinical Commissioning Groups were introduced giving GPs responsibility over the majority of local health services.
‘Clinical commissioning’ means planning, buying and monitoring health services. Each CCG is an NHS organisation made up of local GPs who, with support of other healthcare colleagues, decide how to spend the NHS budget on health services for their own local area. This includes the care and treatment you receive if you go into hospital, mental health services, prescription medicines and community health services such as district nurses and physiotherapy.
Why give GPs this responsibility?
Because there is a strong belief that, as they are the people who see patients every day, they understand better than anyone what those patients need.
It is up to the CCG to make sure that the health services it commissions meets the health needs of the local population and must keep checking that the best possible treatment and care is being provided for the people who need it. The views of patients are essential in this process and you can read more about how you can get involved here.
