NHS Vale of York Clinical Commissioning Group (CCG) has published its 2020-21 annual report and financial accounts, set against what has been one of the most challenging periods for the NHS. This report is an overview of the CCG’s work between 1 April 2020 and 31 March 2021. The CCG, like all other NHS organisations, is required to publish an annual report and financial accounts at the end of each financial year.

Dr Nigel Wells, Clinical Chair at NHS Vale of York CCG, said: "The pandemic has been a huge focus for the NHS across the country, but I am very pleased to report that our transformative work to improve better outcomes for our patients has continued throughout 2020-21.

"I would like to take this opportunity to thank every member of staff in our local health and care system for their hard work, expertise and dedication, and whilst under intense pressure, responded boldly, with empathy and poise in the most difficult time the NHS has ever seen in its history.

"The last year has been unlike any other that we have experienced. I am immensely proud of the significant contribution that our CCG played in supporting our clinicians and all other professions in their care for the 360,000 people that live in the Vale of York.

"There continues to be a massive pressure on our primary care services, yet our Primary Care Networks have grown stronger, as to have our relationships with our partners. The long-standing local money issues that have hung over the local area for more than a decade have been brought to balance in the last year and clinical sharing, learning and improvement still continues."

Phil Mettam, Accountable Officer at NHS Vale of York CCG, said: “The annual report and accounts allow us to reflect, especially on this last year which has been like no other that we have experienced. I am immensely proud of the CCG's significant contribution to support our clinicians and all other professions in their care for the 360,000 people that live in the Vale of York.

"Some examples of our work that stand out for me include our engagement with patients, the public and the clinical workforce, and the work to support those in our local community with complex health and care needs. Important work to improve quality and safety continues at pace as does work to manage the local population's health through physical and mental health prevention and wellbeing strategies, and the reduction in health inequalities."
