The plan, proposed earlier this year, was to bring together Central London, Brent, Ealing, Hammersmith and Fulham, Hounslow, Hillingdon, Harrow and West London into a single CCG in April 2021.
The GP members of each CCG were asked to vote for the merger and all CCGs, except West London, received the required 50% of votes needed with West London only receiving a 35% vote in favour of the merger. The GPs said they were concerned the merger would ‘not be in the interests of the patients of smaller practices’
North West London CCG will hold a re-ballot in October, either again asking West London CCG to merge, or alternatively asking the other seven CCGs to merge without it.
