NHS Warrington CCG is committed to working in partnership with local people to develop health services that meet the needs of our town and in putting the needs of the patients and the public that we serve at the heart of all we do.

The Communications and Engagement Team is here to ensure that the CCG listens to the voice of the local people and patients and the public are fully involved in decision making and have the opportunity to share experiences of accessing NHS services locally.

CCGs have a statutory duty to involve the public in commissioning (section 14Z2). In addition to meeting statutory responsibilities, effective patient and public participation helps CCGs to commission services that meet the needs of local communities and tackle health inequalities.

NHS England has a legal duty (section 14Z16) to assess how well each CCG has discharged its public involvement duty (section 14Z2), as well as a commitment to supporting continuous improvement in public participation.

A robust, and improvement focused, process of national assessment has been now been carried out for 2019/20 to reach final RAGG* ratings and scores for individual CCGs. We are pleased to say that NHS Warrington CCG were awarded Green Star rating. More information is below:
