NHS Barnsley Clinical Commissioning Group (CCG) is responsible for commissioning the majority of health services for Barnsley patients. In Barnsley we share a common belief that primary care is, and should continue to be, the foundation of the NHS. We recognise that fundamental to achieving this ambition we need strong and resilient primary and community care services. This requires a more integrated system to support a workforce that is multi-skilled and able to adapt to changes in the way that health and care services are provided as our services transform and focuses on seamless, accessible, and integrated care, delivered by integrated primary care teams and ensuring primary medical care remains the foundation of a high performing health care system.

The CCG wish to create an environment in which everyone can continue to thrive, and our services become even more effective and efficient, to deliver its full potential and adapt to meet the challenges of the future. The CCG has a clear work programme under the following priorities:

Development and delivery of primary care transformation to incorporate the Long Term Plan and Primary Care Network developments

Quality improvement, promotes health and wellbeing, and reduction in health inequalities

Help to keep people out of hospital as much as possible

Supporting the contractual requirements and restoring services in line with the current Covid status.
