<p>Clinical commissioning group (CCG) funding is determined through the CCG funding
allocation formula, a statistical formula used to make geographic distribution of
funding fair and reflective of local healthcare needs. CCGs have a statutory responsibility
to commission services which meet the needs of their local population, however the
National Health Service does not have unlimited resources and CCGs may have to make
difficult decisions about commissioning high-quality care cost-effectively.</p><p>
</p><p>CCGs have the flexibility within the legislative framework to decide how far
to commission these functions and have the flexibility to commission any service provider
that meets NHS standards and costs.</p>
