NHS England – North Region
Richard Barker – Regional Director
Working via a single operating model the North regional team operates as part of the
central function of the national Operations Directorates. This includes providing clinical and
professional leadership, coordinating, planning, operational management and emergency
preparedness. The regional team also works with other directorates to provide co-ordination
and oversight of area teams, management and delivery of specialised commissioning,
performance oversight and stakeholder engagement.
Cumbria, Northumberland, Tyne and Wear, South Yorkshire and Bassetlaw and Cheshire
Warrington and Wirral area teams are responsible for specialised commissioning.
West Yorkshire, Lancashire, Durham, Darlington and Tees area teams are responsible for
offender health.
The North Yorkshire and Humber area team is responsible for military health.
There are 68 clinical commissioning groups (CCGs) within the North region who have
responsibility for commissioning the majority of local health services for their populations.
Our region covers not only a wide geography but also diverse populations and health issues.
We serve a population of some 15 million people spread over a region of almost
40,000 sq. km. In the north overall rates of deprivation are significantly worse than the
national average, life expectancy is lower, smoking is more prevalent and early deaths from
heart disease, stroke and cancer are higher.
