We receive a budget from the Department of Health to plan and pay for most local NHS services. This includes commissioning planned hospital care, rehabilitative care, urgent and emergency care, most community health services, and mental health and learning disability services. We do not manage local NHS hospitals, which are independent trusts, however we do pay for many of the services they offer. NHS East Lancashire CCG is wholly supportive of partnership working and as such is an active participant in the Staff Partnership Forum facilitated by NHS Midlands and Lancashire Commissioning Support Unit. The CCG utilises this forum as a vehicle and mechanism to support proactive staff engagement, consultation and, where appropriate, negotiation. The CCG does not employ anyone who undertakes relevant union official duties as outlined in the Trade Union (Facility Time Publication Requirements) Regulations 2017 and therefore no time is released from this employer in relation to official duties. The CCG liaises and works with CSU TU representatives and area/regional representatives from those recognised unions whose time will be recorded with their employing authority. Our CCG is run by local GPs. We aim to buy high quality, safe, and effective health services that meet the needs of residents in East Lancashire. To do this we use local clinical expertise, evidence of good practice and also draw on the experience of patients who use the services we commission. Our aims “To ensure that the right services are commissioned for patients to be seen at the right time, in the right place, by the right professional.” “To be a reputable organisation which operates with integrity and trust among its core principles” Equality and Inclusion Ethnic diversity within our workforce – A statement of commitment Governing Body & Meetings Fair Processing Notice How We Spend Your Money Joint Committee of CCG's Our Constitution Our Mission, Aims, Priorities & Plans Our Publications Overview of Area Policies Publication Scheme Registers of Interests Tenders, Procurement and Contracting The NHS Constitution National Fraud Initiative Accessibility | Cookies | Freedom of Information | Terms & Conditions | Privacy Policy
