Primary Care Commissioning Committee

The purpose of the Primary Care Commisionsing Committee is to ensure that services are commissioned to serve the needs of residents and to improve the efficiency, effectiveness, economy and quality of services, reduce inequalities and promote the involvement of patients and the public alike in the development of services.

Harrow CCG used to form part of a joint committee with NHS England for the co-commissioning of local primary medical care services. From 1 April 2017, under delegated authority from NHS England, the CCG took on responsibility for the commissioning and management of primary care medical services. To enable the CCG to fulfill these responsibilities appropriately, the Governing Body established a Primary Care Commissioning Committee with a non-conflicted voting membership.

The Committee’s purpose is to ensure that appropriate primary care services are commissioned to serve the needs of residents and, in so doing, improve the efficiency, effectiveness, economy and quality of services, reduce inequalities and promote the involvement of patients and the public alike in the development of services.

Patients, members of the public and other stakeholders are invited to attend the Primary Care Commissioning Committee.
