The board of the NHS Commissioning Board Authority has today agreed the proposed configuration and member practices for 212 proposed clinical commissioning groups (CCGs).
This information, along with the publication of the indicative running cost allowances for 2013/14, will enable proposed CCGs to develop their organisations ready for authorisation and establishment in April 2103.
There are now proposed CCGs covering the whole of England. Once the NHS Commissioning Board is established as a statutory body, it will check that legal requirements have been met and approve the final details of geography, names and member practices of each CCG through the authorisation process.
Every proposed CCG has now agreed a place in one of four application waves for authorisation. Those in wave 1 will begin their applications in July 2012.

- Read the list of proposed CCGs within each application wave for authorisation
- See the maps of proposed CCGs in England

These codes are currently under review and may change in the future. Further information about the release of CCG data by Organisation Data Service (ODS) can be found on the ODS web pages.

Where a town has 25 surgery and two other local areas nearby have 25 surgery, would it not make sense to combine their resources and join forces? Or would this affect peoples jobs.
Hi Lynden and thanks for your comment. The NHS CBA has been keen for this to be a ‘bottom-up’ process and as such has encouraged emerging CCGs to establish their own geography. All of the proposed CCGs have undertaken their own risk assessments which include consideration of size (eg the number of practices making up the CCG), and how to mitigate those risks.
Smaller proposed CCGs are in many cases considering sharing their management support to deliver value for money. But their smaller size will have some advantages re the ease with which they can secure wider engagement with member practices. CCGs will be asked to demonstrate that their configuration makes sense for patients locally at authorisation, but most proposed CCGs have already engaged with a wide range of partners to shape a configuration that makes the most sense for improving outcomes for their population.
Thank you, it is useful to see these new health geographies mapped.
Are you able to share a lookup file showing each LSOA and the current CCG code it sits in? Is there a MapInfo file available for these boundaries that can be shared between holders of the DH OS licence?
Hi Caroline and thanks for your question. We will shortly be releasing more detailed information on the LSOAs that CCGs are proposing for their geographical area of responsibility. Once we have done this we will be able to share map files with NHS and public health organisations.
Caroline – May I suggest that it would be helpful for website users who are not NHS employees if you can either not use abbreviations on a public website or say what they mean so that other people can follow your point.
Hi
Would it be possible for you to provide information on which upper tier/unitary local authority areas each CCG will be commissioning health services for? – So we have some Idea of what health and wellbeing boards they will have to be represented on and which health and wellbeing strategies they will have to have regard to.
I would expect his information to be vital for the authorisation process to check that the new partnerships with local authorities will be able to function as intended
Hi Keith. The list of LSOA codes for each proposed CCG can be located in the document called List of proposed CCGs with proposed Lower Layer Super Output Area (LSOA) boundaries. This document can be found under CCG Configuration on the CCG Resources page.
Will you be providing this information alongside the names of which local authority(ies) each proposed CCG will need to work with on the new Health and Wellbeing Boards?
Hi Keith, thank you for your question.
The current configuration of the proposed CCGs is available on the NHS CB website under CCG Configuration. This provides some of the information to answer the question you asked.
As proposed CCGs come forward into one of 4 waves of authorisation July 2012 to January 2013, confirmation of the role that they are fulfilling within the relevant Health and Wellbeing Board/s will indeed be covered.
I trust that this helpful.
When will you be publishing data to show which Lower Super Output Areas (LSOAs) sit within each CCG? The above data only shows how many LSOAs are in each CCG, not which LSOAs those are.
Many thanks.
Hi Jonathan. We are in the process of creating revised CCG maps and files giving the detail listing of LSOAs and their proposed CCGs. We hope to add this new set of information to the NHS CB website within the next week or so.
Thanks for these lists, but I have noticed a difference between the number of CCGs on ODS compared to that which is on CBA files. I realise that the ODS one is an interim one but it’s a significant difference:
212 CCGs on CBA list
258 CCGs on ODS list
Please can you indicate when you can supply the missing data for the CCGs on the ODS list in terms of population, running costs etc? And also the timeframe by which both the CBA list and ODS list are in sync?
Thank you

Thanks for your comment Hazera. Yes there is a difference between the total number of CCGs on the ODS list compared to those on the NHS CB list. This is because the ODS file includes CCGs that were previously proposed. The ODS have indicated those ‘closed’ CCGs with “C” in column M which should account for the discrepancy in numbers. As the CCGs are authorised I am sure that the ODS and NHS CB lists will fully synchronise.
Hello,
Is it possible to find the telephone numbers for some of the CCG’s listed? I could send you a list if this is possible.
Thanks in advance.

Hi Mike
Thank you for your question. As each wave of prospective CCGs goes through the formal authorisation process, we will publish names of the clinical leads and contact details on this site. In the meantime, some interim appointments and contact details may be found on individual CCG or PCT websites. A full list of proposed Clinical Commissioning Groups is available in our CCG directory.
Kind regards
Simon
Will the map of CCGs be updated periodically as local situations change?
Thanks
Andrew
Hi Andrew
Thanks for your comment. We update the maps on a regular basis, to reflect changing local situations.
Kind regards
Simon
