CCG Newsletter - Edition Five

Published 16 April 2018

Welcome to the Fifth Edition of our Clinical Commissioning Group Newsletter. This publication brings together some of the latest developments for CCGs, together with some of our recent experiences working with our CCG clients, demonstrating our breadth in the sector and ability to help you overcome challenges and achieve sustainable improvements in patient care.

We have over 60 years' experience delivering legal services to the NHS and our team of 50 Health Partners and 200 Health Lawyers undertake vast amounts of work for CCGs. We understand the issues you face and are engaged with the changing health landscape, helping to drive the health agenda and shape the future.

In this edition, we focus on:

• The changes to the NHS Continuing Healthcare Framework;
• The refusal of the Court in a recent case to lift automatic suspension where other services could be affected; and
• The extended powers of the Tribunal for Special Educational Needs to enable it to make recommendations regarding the health and social care aspects of a child's Education, Health and Care Plans.
