STRUCTURE: NHS Bristol Clinical Commissioning Group will continue to receive support from NHS England after failing to satisfy all the conditions on its authorisation.
The CCG is one of 59 out of 211 not yet to be fully authorised after a further 47 CCGs had conditions lifted following review by NHS England. The three remaining conditions all relate to the CCG’s lack of “clear and credible” plans to deliver quality, innovation, productivity and prevention savings.
