We buy healthcare services for the people of Thurrock

Thurrock Clinical Commissioning Group (CCG) is responsible for the commissioning and delivery of local health care services.

The CCG buys healthcare from hospitals, community and mental health services and some specialist services (service contracts with GPs, dentists, pharmacists and opticians are managed by NHS England).

Driven by clinicians, the CCG is supported by a wide range of professionals and strategic partners, to commission and deliver joined up seamless quality services to the public, patients and carers of Thurrock.

Our vision is that the health and care experience for the people of Thurrock will be improved as a result of our working together. To achieve this vision, we aim to design services within available resources around the agreed needs of people and by working collaboratively with our partners. We are aware that the local diversity of Thurrock, which has a population registered with a GP practice of about 175,000. This represents a particular challenge for us to increase public involvement in our work and makes it all the more important to include those members of our population whose views may not be captured by the more traditional forms of engagement.
