Exclusive At least 30 GPs have resigned their positions on CCG boards since the transfer of commissioning responsibility in April, amid fears that rising practice workload is preventing even enthusiasts from implementing the NHS reforms, a Pulse investigation reveals.
Figures obtained under the Freedom of Information Act from 74 CCGs across England show that one in three boards have seen a GP member resign since April, while the overall proportion of CCG board members who are GPs also appears to have declined, from an estimated 49% last year to just 43%.
In at least four regions - Hull, Lewisham, Luton and Wyre Forest - the chair of the CCG has left their role. Extrapolated across all 211 CCGs, the figures suggest up to 80 GP board members may have already stepped down.
