Since the start of April 2015, the South Reading CCG, in common with other CCGs in the Berkshire West federation, has been jointly responsible for Primary Care with NHS England. This makes possible the design and implementation of an integrated health and social care system incorporating primary care. But of course, it also creates serious conflicts of interest, whose resolution is not evident to the public.
The four CCGs in Berkshire West meet in a common Primary Care Co-Commissioning Committee to plan the evolution of primary care.
After meeting for many months, the Primary Care Co-Commissioning Committee has made its strategy and plan available to the public (see below).
