Lay Assessors on CCG authorisation panels

The NHS Commissioning Board Authority is currently working towards the authorisation of clinical commissioning groups (CCGs) and would like to work with patients and the public to ensure they are ready to take up their new role from April 2013.

CCGs are the new clinically-led and patient-focused organisations who will be responsible for commissioning many of your local health services. Each CCG will be assessed by authorisation panels prior to being authorised to begin their new role.

The Board Authority is now looking for people to become Lay Assessors to take part in the authorisation panel visits to proposed CCGs, alongside other panellists from the NHS and Local Authorities.  The panels will assess each CCG’s capability to deliver  their new commissioning role.
