NHS Liverpool Clinical Commissioning Group (CCG) is responsible for planning and buying most NHS services for the people of Liverpool, including the care you receive at hospitals and in community clinics. This process is known as commissioning. Since April 2015 we have also had responsibility for GP services in Liverpool. 

You can read more about CCGs and the structure of the NHS in England on the NHS Choices website

The CCG is a membership organisation which includes all of Liverpool’s 88 GP practices. Our Constitution sets out our duties and how we make decisions. You might also want to read about our vision, values and objectives.

We work in close partnership with those involved in providing care in the city, such as local hospitals, and Liverpool City Council, to make sure that NHS services meet the needs of our population. One of the tools we use to do this is the Joint Strategic Needs Assessment (JSNA), which sets out current and future health and wellbeing priorities.
