Authorisation process for Clinical Commissioning Groups issued

A letter and a set of slides issued describe the authorisation process for clinical commissioning groups (CCGS) and have been sent to primary care cluster chief executives and local authority chief executives.

CCGs are due to come into statutory form from April 2013 and will need to be formally authorised. Local government and their partners in health and wellbeing boards have an important role in the process.
