Shropshire Clinical Commissioning Group placed in special measures
Shropshire Clinical Commissioning Group has been placed in special measures due to an emerging annual deficit of £10.6 million.
Following the news, Philip Dunne MP has called for new management to put the county’s NHS services in a stronger position.
Mr Dunne said: “It is disappointing that Shropshire CCG’s finances have not been sufficiently well managed and, as a result of a large anticipated annual budget deficit, it has been placed in Special Measures.
"Given the recent management hiatus, it is vital that this step is used to introduce new management and more appropriate governance structures within the CCG.
"There is a clear need to put in place a financially sound plan to deliver healthcare for Shropshire over the long term. I will be engaging with the relevant NHS bodies to make clear the needs of residents across the Ludlow Constituency, and to push for real leadership to deliver the change we need within the county’s NHS system.”
