Clinical Commissioning Groups
Clinical Commissioning Groups (CCGs) are the cornerstone of the new health system.
Each of the 8,000 GP practices in England is now part of a CCG.
Each CCG is a statutory NHS body with its own governance arrangements which vary according to its Constitution.
Each CCG is responsible for meeting the health needs of its populations and their main focus is on local issues.
They are accountable to their GP membership and NHS England.
In 2013/14 CCGs were responsible for a budget of £65 billion, around 60 per cent of the total NHS budget.

Hounslow CCG came into being on 1 st April 2013.

Hounslow Whole Systems Vision
Hounslow commissioners and providers have been developing an integrated care model since 2012 and now has in place strategies and programmes delivering integrated care to its residents.
Our vision for whole system integrated care is based on what patients and carers tell us is most important to them – a seamless service to patients and carers, delivering person-centred care.
To deliver Whose Systems integrated care will mean significant change across the whole of our current health and care provider landscape, and perhaps for voluntary and social organisations too.
Whole Systems is the catalyst and enabler for this change. We must take this opportunity.
If we can get it right, we know it will transform the daily lives of many of our residents.
