Clinical commissioning groups (CCGs) in Sefton have announced the dates of their next governing body meetings and are encouraging anyone with an interest to go along.

The CCGs’ hold their bi-monthly governing body meetings in public, so people can hear them discussing and making decisions about local health services.

Doctors, nurses and other health professionals who make up the committees will discuss a range of issues including the performance of the services they commission, like hospitals and community care.

Rob Caudwell, local GP and NHS Southport and Formby CCG chair, said: “The governing body is a formal meeting and it’s a way for people to find out more about what we’re doing. They can also ask us any questions ahead of the meeting getting underway.”

The NHS Southport and Formby CCG meeting will take place on Wednesday 27 July at Formby Christian Fellowship, 93 Church Rd, Formby, Liverpool L37 3NB at 1pm. Papers will be made available here beforehand.

Anyone who is interested in attending is asked to call 0151 247 7000 to confirm their attendance.
