Surrey
Downs achieves authorisation

14 March 2013

Today Surrey Downs Clinical Commissioning Group  was given the green light to become a statutory organisation that will buy  healthcare for the 290,000 living in the local  area. As part of changes  happening across the NHS, groups of clinicians  (known as Clinical  Commissioning Groups) have completed a robust authorisation  process that  considers whether they are ready to become NHS organisations in  their own  right.
Today’s announcement means Surrey Downs Clinical Commissioning Group  (CCG) has provided the assurance necessary to show it is ready to
commission healthcare on behalf of local people – and it is ready to become  a statutory  organisation and take on its full legal responsibilities.  
  Commenting on the news Chief Officer Miles Freeman said: 
“We all put a great deal of work into our authorisation process so I am
delighted  that the NHS Commissioning Board has recognised that we are ready  to become a  statutory organisation. “There is still more work to be
done and as with many other CCGs, we  have been asked to provide further  assurance in several areas." 
  Clinical  Chair Dr Claire  Fuller added:
“We have come an incredibly long way in a  very short space  of time and today’s news reflects the huge amount of work our  staff and GPs  have put into establishing Surrey Downs CCG, with clinicians at  the  forefront of commissioning. “As local clinicians we know what works well and
where there are  opportunities to improve care for our patients. Today’s
announcement gives us  the go-ahead to start driving forward these
improvements, keeping patients,  carers and families at the heart of
everything we  do.”
