Postcode lottery fears over CCG

FEARS have been expressed that a postcode lottery will emerge with the setting up of the new Clinical Commissioning Group (CCG) for Wiltshire.

The group, comprising mainly GPs, will from next April take over organising and buying many of the health services for people in Wiltshire from NHS Wiltshire. There were originally three CCGs in Wiltshire but earlier this year GPs decided to have one CCG serving the county.

Despite this, the GPs will continue to have three individual sub-groups that will meet regularly and are in the process of recruiting three directors on salaries of £77,000-£97,478. The three groups cover the south, west (including Devizes) and north east of Wiltshire, not including Swindon.
