CCG Board Meetings
This section has information on NHS Thurrock CCG's Board Meetings.
Due to the coronavirus outbreak, NHS Thurrock CCG has stopped holding all public meetings and events, including the CCG Board Meeting. You can read more about this below.
NHS Thurrock CCG holds a Board Meeting that's open to members of the public once every two months. There is an open invitation to any member of the public who wants to come along to see and hear how health care decisions are made.
During these meetings you can expect to hear discussions about new health plans, progress of current initiatives and how the CCG measures against quality and performance indicators. However, it's important to note that although Board Meetings are held in public, they are not 'public meetings'.
We ask that members of the public who have questions about agenda items submit those questions before each meeting. Questions should be submitted two working days before the meeting to This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it.
We will try and answer as many questions as we can in the first 20 minutes of the meeting. Any questions that we don't get time to answer will be responded to in writing after the meeting.
Questions and feedback can still be submitted outside of meetings to: This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it.
Occasionally dates of meetings might vary or be subject to cancellation due to public holidays or unforeseen circumstances. Any cancellations will be publicised on the CCG website and social media channels prior to the original meeting date.
Please note: We will endeavour to upload Board papers to the website FOUR days before each month's Board meeting for viewing. Hard copies of Board papers will be available at the meeting.
Meetings of the CCG Board during the COVID-19 pandemic
The five Clinical Commissioning Groups in Mid and South Essex have been working very hard behind the scenes to ensure the whole health and care system continues to operate during the Covid-19 pandemic. This includes setting up command and control incident response groups in accordance with our Emergency Plans. The Central Incident Management Team (CIMT) is the primary group led by our Gold Commander and Joint Accountable Officer Anthony McKeever, which links into regional and national incident response groups.
Due to the restrictions placed on face to face meetings, quick decisions were made to pause public Board Meetings, until such a time as it was appropriate to re-instate them.
In addition to this, the business as usual functions of all CCGs changed dramatically as decisions were made in response to the national direction to reduce the burden of business as usual activities to focus on managing the pandemic and to free up staff who could be redeployed to assist the front line.
CCG governance around decision making has remained in force throughout the pandemic, albeit through the measures outlined in our constitutions for making decisions in an emergency situation.
We have continued to engage with the public to fulfil our public duty and have been able to share communications with the public and key stakeholders about the pandemic and the CCG response to it.
We hope to be able to re-instate public meetings shortly with an ambition to do this in July. However, we are mindful of continued restrictions and requirements for social distancing and so we are looking into how technology can support the CCGs in having virtual meeting that the public can attend.
Although we have continued to hold virtual/video conference private Board meetings to conduct necessary business (such as the approval of the CCG Annual Report and Accounts) and keep the Board informed of any emergency decisions we have had to make, we are mindful that all decisions will be presented for endorsement at the next available public Board meeting. There has been no decision making about permanent changes to existing services or introducing new services, other than the temporary measures that have been put in place to respond to the pandemic.
The below paper is the first in a series of monthly updates to keep the public informed about how we have been operating and the decisions we have been making in relation to and during the pandemic.
