<p>Harrow Clinical Commissioning Group (CCG) is currently being considered for Legal
Directions as a result of the £19.6 million deterioration in the financial position
in 2018/19. The CCG planned for a £20.2 million deficit and at month 9 are reporting
a £39.8 million forecast outturn deficit. NHS England will be providing the CCG with
written confirmation once the decision has been taken. This will enable NHS England
to provide the support and oversight required to return the CCG to a sustainable financial
position.</p><p> </p><p>The CCG has already begun producing a financial recovery plan
for submission to NHS England. Within this plan, the CCG will demonstrate how they
are meeting Five Year Forward requirements in all areas, including mental health.
The draft plan for 2019/20 will set out how the CCG will meet mental health access
standards, and the mental health investment standard. Harrow CCG continues to work
closely with colleagues in the local authority to ensure they continue to provide
high quality adult social care and public health services to the people of Harrow.</p>
