Clinical Commissioning Groups (CCGs) are clinically led statutory NHS bodies responsible for planning and commissioning local health care services. Two CCGs fit neatly within the Kirklees Local Authority boundary: North Kirklees CCG and Greater Huddersfield CCG. The new CCG summary of the KJSA helps to inform the decisions made by the CCGs by summarising a range of health-related indicators for people living in these two geographical areas. Other people will find this summary useful as the CCG boundaries neatly divide our area into North and South Kirklees.
Natalie Ackroyd, Senior Strategic Planning, Performance and Service Transformation Manager at Greater Huddersfield CCG, said this about the KJSA:
“The Kirklees Joint Strategic Assessment provides information that ensures the needs of our local population and communities is understood and communicated. Looking at the wider determinants of health ensures Local Authorities and Clinical Commissioning Groups commission responsive, effective and co-ordinated services that empower Kirklees residents towards better health.”
