- This paper sets out the range of core clinical commissioning group (CCG) functions as set out in legislation and includes links to the legislation.
- They have been grouped into the following categories:
- commissioning functions and duties relating to CCGs
- finance
- governance
- cooperation.
- It distinguishes between:
- the key statutory duties of CCGs – the “must dos” that CCGs will be legally responsible for delivering, and
- key statutory powers – ie the things that CCGs have the freedom to do, if they wish, to help meet these duties.
