Clinical Commissioning Groups
From April 2013, groups of GPs and other key healthcare professionals will be responsible for around 80% of the healthcare budget in their area and will plan and pay for services for the local population.
These groups will be called Clinical Commissioning Groups (CCGs), (formerly known as GP Consortia) and will buy services from the hospitals, ambulance service and community services providers. In Nottinghamshire, we are ahead of other parts of the country and have already devolved budgets to our CCGs so that they are responsible for local commissioning decisions.

- Newark and Sherwood Health
- NHS Nottingham City CCG
