PATIENT AND PUBLIC PARTICIPATION AS PART OF THE STATUTORY ANNUAL ASSESSMENT OF CCG PERFORMANCE
NHS England has developed a new indicator of patient and public participation as part of its statutory annual assessment of CCG performance. The red/amber/green rating will be based on CCG annual reports (2016/17) and other publicly available information. The rating scheme follows publication in April of revised statutory guidance for CCGs - https://www.england.nhs.uk/participation/involvementguidance/  - and NHS England commissioners on patient and public participation in commissioning health and care. The ratings are expected to be published this summer.
