About Clinical Commissioning Groups (CCGs)

CCGs are in England only and have a strategic role locally, planning out local health services overall. They also have the power to make planning or spending decisions that could expand or improve local specialist dementia support.

You can then find the name of your local CCG Chief Executive and contact details on your local CCG’s website. Find your local Clinical Commissioning Group by postcode
