We are NHS South Sefton Clinical Commissioning Group (CCG) and we are made up of local doctors, nurses, practice staff and lay members who are well placed to know the health needs and views of people living in the area. We are a membership organisation bringing together 30 doctor’s surgeries covering an area from Hightown in the north, Bootle in the south and Melling and Lydiate to the east. Together we are responsible for planning and buying, or ‘commissioning’, the majority of local health services that south Sefton residents may need. We work closely with our neighbours NHS Southport and Formby CCG and we have a joint management team that carries out much of our day to day work on our behalf.
