Clinical Commissioning Groups (CCGs)
From April 2013, responsibility for commissioning health services transferred from Primary Care Trusts (PCTs) to Clinical Commissioning Groups (CCGs). CCGs are groups of GPs that are responsible for designing local health services. In England they do this by commissioning or buying health and care services. CCGs work with patients and healthcare professionals and in partnership with local communities and local authorities. On their governing body, they have, in addition to GPs, at least one registered nurse and a doctor who is a secondary care specialist. CCGs have boundaries that do not normally cross those of local authorities. They are responsible for arranging emergency and urgent care services within their boundaries, and for commissioning services for any unregistered patients who live in their area. All GP practices belong to a CCG.
There are 8 CCGs in Lancashire, as follows:

Healthwatch
Subject to the parliamentary passage of the Health and Social Care bill, Healthwatch are the new consumer champion for both health and adult social care. It exists in two distinct forms - Local Healthwatch, at local level, and Healthwatch England, at national level. Local Involvement Networks (LINks) were replaced by Local Healthwatch in April 2013.
The aim of Local Healthwatch is to give citizens and communities a stronger voice to influence and challenge how health and social care services are provided within their locality. Local Healthwatch has evolved from existing LINks, but with additional functions and powers. They will also have a seat on the Health and Wellbeing Board to ensure the needs of people are taken into account by the organisations that provide health and social care services.
The three Local Healthwatchs the Trust is engaged with are Healthwatch Lancashire, Healthwatch Blackpool and Healthwatch Blackburn with Darwen:
- Healthwatch Lancashire

- Chair: Steve Rigby
- CEO: David Blacklock
- Tel: 01524 239100
- Healthwatch Blackburn with Darwen
-
- Chair: Mrs Viv King (Acting Chair)
- CEO: Abdul Mulla

Health and Wellbeing Boards
The Health and Social Care Act 2012 established Health and Wellbeing boards as a forum where key leaders from the health and care system work together to improve the health and wellbeing of their local population and reduce health inequalities.
Each top tier and unitary authority will have its own health and wellbeing board. Board members will collaborate to understand their local community's needs, agree priorities and encourage commissioners to work in a more joined up way. As a result, patients and the public should experience more joined-up services from the NHS and local councils in the future. The boards will help give communities a greater say in understanding and addressing their local health and social care needs.
Health and wellbeing boards are a key part of broader plans to modernise the NHS to ensure stronger democratic legitimacy and involvement, strengthen working relationships between health and social care, and encourage the development of more integrated commissioning of services.
The Trust is engaged with:
- Health and Wellbeing Board Blackburn with Darwen
- Health and Wellbeing Board Blackpool
- Health and Wellbeing Board Lancashire

Overview and Scrutiny Committees
Local Authority Overview and Scrutiny Committees (OSCs) are responsible for monitoring and regulating key service integration. NHS Trusts are required to consult with the Committee with respect to any proposed and significant changes to the pattern or location of local services.
In summary, Overview and Scrutiny Committees can:
- Review and scrutinise all matters relating to the planning, provision and operation of health services in the area of the local authority.
- Make reports and recommendations to local NHS bodies and their local authority on any matter reviewed or scrutinised, and must be consulted by NHS bodies on any proposal for a substantial development or variation in health services.
- Have matters referred to them by Healthwatch
- Require the attendance of a local NHS body to provide information to them.
The three OSCs that the Trust is engaged with are from Lancashire County Council, Blackpool Council and Blackburn with Darwen Borough Council.
