NHS CCG Merger Likely to Lead to Less Responsive, Less Transparent Decisions Over Local Healthcare Provision
A meeting of the governing bodies of the Bedfordshire, Luton and Milton Keynes NHS Clinical Commissioning Groups taking place tomorrow, Tuesday 22nd September, will decide whether to proceed with a merger to create one commissioning body for their combined area. Bedford Borough Liberal Democrats are calling for the merger plans to be scrapped due to the increased risk of a more remote healthcare commissioning authority covering a much wider area making decisions which do not meet the needs of local communities in Bedford Borough.
