Trowbridge GP takes on commissioning role

Trowbridge GP Dr Steve Rowlands has been elected chairman of Wiltshire Clinical Commissioning Group (CCG), the new doctor-led organisation that will be responsible for buying local health services in Wiltshire.

The CCG will come into force in April 2013 when NHS Wiltshire is abolished but it will work alongside the primary care trust this year.

Dr Rowlands, a senior partner at the Bradford Road Surgery in Trowbridge, used to be on West Wiltshire Primary Care Trust and is medical director of NHS Wiltshire, a role he will continue. He will act as interim chairman of the CCG until it is fully launched.
