BMA Statement - Clinical Commissioning Groups (CCGs) and effective engagement
The local patient participation report – produced at the end of the year – assesses the DES. This document looks at areas where the PCT might offer support to ensure it is completed successfully, and outlines other considerations for the PCT in determining how it will assess the DES. PCTs can support practices in achieving the DES through using these guidance. This should also make the task of
assessing the achievements easier as there will be consistency across practices.
