Dear Parish Council
Survey for residents living in Bedfordshire, Luton and Milton Keynes
We (Bedfordshire, Luton and Milton Clinical Commissioning Groups) are currently conducting a public survey to ask local people for their views on our proposal to bring the 3 CCGs together and form one CCG.
We’d like to know what the public think of the proposal, so it would be fabulous if you could help promote the survey and encourage local residents to take part. The survey is available on to view here.<https://www.surveymonkey.co.uk/r/OneBLMKpublic>
We would really appreciate it if you:
* Could share our post on Facebook encouraging people to take part click here for Facebook post <https://www.facebook.com/watch/?v=584625678873421&extid=kKPWL1GmCAHhWuMn>
* Retweet this post on Twitter click here for Tweet<https://twitter.com/BLMK_CCGs/status/1295643694658445313?s=20>
* Promote the survey via your channels we’ve drafted the paragraph below which you’re welcome to use:
From 1 April 2021, Bedfordshire, Luton and Milton Keynes CCGs are planning to become one single NHS Clinical Commissioning Group (CCG) in line with NHS England’s Long Term Plan.
This will have an impact on how we operate as commissioners, (commissioning is the process by which health and care services are planned, purchased and monitored) and how we work together in the future.
Over the next few months, we will be engaging with GP Members, our staff, local service providers, councils, other partners and our patients to listen to your views before we submit our final application in September 2020.
Please read the Public Engagement Document<https://www.blmkccg.nhs.uk/documents/public-engagement-briefing-nhs-blmk-ccg/> that accompanies this questionnaire. This explains what we are proposing, and why.
The questionnaire is now live and is open until Sunday 13 September. Click here to take the survey.<https://www.surveymonkey.co.uk/r/OneBLMKpublic>
We really value your comments, so please let us know your views by completing the survey.
If you would like more information on the proposed changes, please email: blmkcc.feedback@nhs.net<mailto:blmkcc.feedback@nhs.net>.
Your support really would be most appreciated
Warm wishes
