Reviewing local health policies

Easy read

The NHS wants to give you the right treatment, in the right place at the right time.

But some treatments do not help some patients very much.

So we want to make sure we provide the most suitable treatment to the right people.

We need to make sure NHS money is spent wisely and fairly.

P x

We are 7 NHS clinical commissioning groups (CCGs) who have joined together to do this.

We look after the health care for people living in Halton, Knowsley, Liverpool, Southport and Formby, South Sefton, St Helens and Warrington.

We are working with other doctors and nurses to get this right.

We are following advice from the government.

We are asking everyone living in our areas what they think of the changes we want to make.

Rules for how treatments are offered to patients are in policies.

We are looking at more than 100 different policies.

You can see the policies and the changes we are suggesting on our websites.

You can also ask for a printed copy at your doctor’s surgery.

100+

Here are some examples of treatments we are talking about:

Nose jobs

Breast reduction or enlargement

You can tell us what you think on our survey. This is on our websites. You can do it online or print it out to fill in and take to your doctor’s surgery.

You can also come to one of our events. These are listed on our websites.
