Introduction

In April 2013 Sandwell and West Birmingham Clinical Commissioning Group (SWBCCG) was formed to take a lead role in the delivery of local health services, largely replacing the local Primary Care Trusts (PCTs). This new body, set up as a consequence of the Health and Social Care Act 2012, aims to give GPs and other clinicians the power to influence commissioning decisions for their patients.

From the earliest days of the CCG, local VCS infrastructure organisations, SCVO in Sandwell and BVSC in Birmingham, have sought to broker engagement between the CCG and our local voluntary and community organisations. Now, 18 months after the creation of the CCG, we would like to hear from you about your experience of the CCG to date and to learn where the relationship can be strengthened.

The information you give to us will be treated in the STICTEST CONFIDENCE. Figures drawn from this survey will only be shared as a collection of data: no individual information/names of participants will be disclosed to any third party.

Please complete as much as you can of this survey. If you have any questions relating to this survey, or if you feel that SCVO can help you in any way, please contact Leona Bird on 0121 525 1127, e-mail: leona@scvo.info. Please complete the survey by Friday 12 September 2014
