From April 2013 our role will be to buy health services on behalf of local people, this is currently carried out by the Primary Care Trust.
Over the next year we will be working closely with the PCT to understand the role we are taking on, including getting to know local stakeholders who are involved in the design of services.
Questions about us, including how you can get involved, should be sent to:
Joy Youart, Chief Development Officer joy.youart@ciospct.cornwall.nhs.uk

At the moment this site is primarily aimed at members of the CCG and is under development. CCG members should also direct questions to Joy or Sue.
