NHS Calderdale Clinical Commissioning Group covers 26 GP practices and a registered population of more than 213,000 patients. CCGs are groups of GPs responsible for planning and designing local health services in England. They do this by ‘commissioning', or buying, health and care services including: • Planned hospital care • Urgent and emergency care • Rehabilitation care • Community health services • Mental health and learning disability services Clinical Commissioning Groups work with patients and health and social care partners, such as local hospitals, local authorities and local community groups, to ensure services meet local needs. CCG boards are made up of GPs from the local area, at least one registered nurse and one secondary care specialist doctor. At NHS Calderdale CCG, our aim is to improve the lives of local people by increasing life expectancy, making sure we commission and provide good quality services and to reduce health inequalities across the district.
