NHS STP CCG change

In April 2020, the health and care services commissioning structure is set to change significantly, with the merger, closure and creation of numerous Clinical Commissioning Groups (CCGs) taking place across England.

Clinically-led statutory NHS bodies responsible for the planning and commissioning of health care services for their local area, CCGs assess local needs, deciding priorities and strategies, and buy services on behalf of the population from various providers.

In April 2019, there were approximately 191 CCGs in England, responsible for approximately two-thirds of the total NHS England budget, totalling £79.9 billion in 2019/20.

The number of CCGs will reduce significantly this year however, condensing to 135 as 74 CCGs merge to create 18 new groups.

Becoming legally active in April 2020, the NHS has released details of the mapping of CCGs to STPs and their new respective regions across England.

The changes to the CCG structure follows the reconfiguration of sustainability and transformation partnerships (STPs) in April 2019, where 14 NHS England Regional Offices were replaced by 42 STPs as the Higher Level Health Authority.

The commissioning structure shake-up is a key element of the NHS Long Term Plan, with its aim to create a more integrated approach to health and social care across primary and specialist care, physical and mental health services, and health within social care.

Established in 2016, STPs are areas covering England where commissioners, NHS organisations and local government create five-year plans covering NHS spending on health and care in the localities they serve.

Initially designed to foster greater integration, the 42 STPs will gradually be replaced by Integrated Care Systems (ICSs) according to the NHS Long Term Plan, which aims for ICSs to cover the entire country by April 2021.

Evolving out of STPs, ICSs will “bring together local organisations to redesign care and improve population health, creating shared leadership and action” says the NHS Long Term Plan, becoming an even closer form of collaboration whereby NHS and local authorities assume greater responsibility for managing resources.
