Finding a complete list of CCGs
Up to General discussion
Does anyone know where I can find a complete national list of CCGs? I can find regional lists, but can't seem to find the national data anywhere.
Do you want a list of CCG names or members of the CCGs? There is a text list of pathfinders on the DOH site (search for CCG pathfinders - I can't paste the link) but I haven't seen a useable data list yet.
As for members of CCGs, I'm not sure there is one yet. Individual practices are still moving from CCG to CCG and I am told they don't have to formally decide which CCG they are part of until 1st April.
However, if anyone does have a list, please share with us!
Binleys Online lists them all, they say (299 when I checked just now) and give staff details for most.
It's available through an NHS Athens account
That said, for my local one, Coastal West Sussex, the entry reads:
'This GP Consortium is a Pilot for NHS West Sussex, it is proposed to be in shadow form by 2011. All current details are subject to change. Pathfinder Status achieved December 2010.'
Last time I looked it was 2012
From looking around, the best complete list I can find - in an accessible format is from The Guardian http://www.guardian.co.uk/healthcare-network/datablog/2011/jan/12/gp-commissioning-consortia-map-data
Though it doesn't contain any contact details of course...
HSJ have now published what they claim is a full list of CCG leaders: http://www.hsj.co.uk/home/commissioning/ccg-leaders-full-list/5042807.article
You'll need a subscription to see the full text; your NHS Library & Knowledge Service should be able to help
Can anyone send me the HSJ list? I don't have a subscription!

I fear it would be a breach of copyright to send you a copy, but if you contact your NHS Library & Knowledge Service, they will probably have a subscription to the digital version, or the hard copy.
If you're not sure which is your nearest, search at http://www.hlisd.org/index.aspx
Thanks Tom!
Hi Emily ,I've just picked up this thread.
APHO are maintaining a list it is available here:
http://www.apho.org.uk/resource/item.aspx?RID=111171
it is the december position (which might not be the most up to date) but should give you a starting point.
Best Wishes
This is a very useful link and will help me out no end! It does say that they are updating regularly so it's just a case of checking back every now and then.
Thanks Kiran!
