NHS England releases CCG Annual Assessment
NHS England has released its CCG Annual Assessment for the 2016/17 year.
NHS England’s annual performance assessment of CCGs rates CCGs against five components of assurance, including leadership, financial management and performance. CCGs may be assessed in four categories: outstanding, good, requires improvement and inadequate.
Out of 207 CCGs in England, there are 22 rated inadequate and 20 rated outstanding. CCGs rated outstanding include NHS Bassetlaw CCG, NHS Hull CCG, NHS North & West Reading CCG, NHS Sunderland CCG and NHS Wokingham CCG.
66 CCGs were rated as requires improvement, while 99 were rated good.
One of the CCGs to be rated as good is Telford and Wrekin Clinical Commissioning Group (CCG).
Jo Leahy, chair of Telford and Wrekin CCG, was happy with the result, saying: “We are very pleased to have achieved good status and recognised nationally as one of the CCGs that are performing well. By being recognised as good, we can demonstrate that we have continued to build on the work we are doing.
“The challenges within the NHS are well known, and we are committed to working with partners to continue to find new ways of working that deliver the best services for our patients.
"I am especially pleased that our work in improving cancer waiting times has been recognised. This has been a priority for us, with our GPs and staff working together to achieve these goals.
“I would like to take this opportunity thank all of our staff, GPs and partners who have worked hard over the past year. We are proud to have been recognised nationally as one of the CCGs that are performing well."
