Our Performance
NHS Clinical Commissioning Group (CCG) commissions (or buys) health services from organisations that provide health services. Most healthcare in Bolton is provided by NHS trusts, but other organisations from the voluntary and private sectors also have contracts to provide some services. We work closely with all providers to monitor standards, performance, and make improvements so Bolton’s health services meet the needs of local people. Any areas of failing or poor performance are raised immediately with the relevant provider and we ask for an action plan to be put in place, setting out how problems will be resolved.
Our board receives a performance report at each monthly board meeting, which details Bolton’s performance in line with national and local targets. These reports can be downloaded at the bottom of the page, by clicking on the relevant year.
We have set goals so we can measure our progress in delivering our vision for improved health and care for Bolton.
