The Governing Body is responsible for planning and commissioning excellent quality, value for money health care services for our local population and is the formal decision-making committee of the CCG. It is made up of a membership that includes GPs, other healthcare professionals, CCG Executives and Lay members.
From 1 April 2018, the Governing Bodies of NHS Redditch and Bromsgrove CCG, South Worcestershire CCG and Wyre Forest CCG will meet in common. Members of the public are welcome and encouraged to attend the public section of the these meetings. Details of meetings and meeting papers are available here.
The Governing Body has a very strong clinical membership and focus, with a GP Chair and two additional GP Members, Executive Nurse, Strategic Clinical Lead and a Secondary Care Doctor. The Governing Body also includes four independent Lay Members, to provide assurance, scrutiny and challenge to CCG’s decision making.
All Governing Body members are required to declare any conflicts of interest as soon as they arise. All conflicts are captured in the Register of Interests, which can be accessed here.
The Governing Body’s role is to ensure that we have appropriate arrangements in place to exercise our functions effectively, efficiently and economically, and in accordance with the generally accepted principles of good governance, the NHS Constitution and our own local Constitution.
The Governing Body meets in formal public sessions six times a year. It is provided with accurate, timely and clear information so it can maintain full and effective control over strategic, financial, operational, compliance and governance issues.
Our Governing Body is supported by a number of committees and sub-committees who meet on a regular basis throughout the year to review, assess, and regulate the activities and responsibilities of the organisation. The details of these committees and the membership of each one can be found within the Meetings and Papers section.
