Islington Clinical Commissioning Group We are Islington Clinical Commissioning Group (CCG), a high-performing and innovative ... organisation with responsibility for planning, buying and monitoring local primary care, hospital services, mental health care, children's services and community services. We are responsible for commissioning around £340m of healthcare services ever year. Made up of 33 member GP practices, we serve a population of nearly 250,000 in an area of London covering less than 6 sq miles, making Islington one of the most densely populated boroughs in England. Islington faces unique healthcare challenges, including high levels of variation in the health of the local population. Islington was one of the first CCGs to be authorised by NHS England, with a clear vision and shared priorities for commissioning the best health services for our local community. Led by an ambitious clinical and management team, we are committed to tackling Islington’s biggest health challenges, improving the health and wellbeing of everyone in the borough. To make the most effective use of our resources and put us in the strongest position possible, our executive management team operates jointly with neighbouring Haringey CCG. The two CCGs are led by a single Chief Operating Officer, Tony Hoolaghan. Working more closely with Haringey CCG, Haringey Council and Haringey’s other partners patients across north London will enable us to strengthen the work we are doing locally, invest in new skills, develop stronger teams and organise ourselves in a way that will focus on the populations we serve. read more
