Healthcare in Surrey
Healthcare in Surrey, England was the responsibility of five Clinical Commissioning Groups: East Surrey, North West Surrey, Surrey Downs, Guildford and Waverley, and Surrey Heath from 2013 to 2020 when East Surrey, North West Surrey, Surrey Downs, Guildford and Waverley merged to form Surrey Heartlands CCG. The new organisation started with a £62 million deficit.
From 1947 to 1974 NHS services in Surrey were managed by the South-West Metropolitan Regional Hospital Board. In 1974 the boards were abolished and replaced by regional health authorities. Surrey came under the South West Thames RHA apart from Spelthorne which came under the North West Thames RHA. Regions were reorganised in 1996 and the whole of Surrey came under the South Thames Regional Health Authority. The county had its own Area Health Authority from 1974 until 2000 when they were abolished. The county was divided into five district health authorities for East Surrey, Mid Surrey, North West Surrey, South West Surrey and West Surrey and North East Hampshire. West Surrey and North East Hampshire was abolished in 1994. Regional health authorities were reorganised and renamed strategic health authorities in 2002. The whole county was part of Surrey and Sussex SHA. In 2006 regions were again reorganised and Surrey came under NHS South East Coast until that was abolished in 2013. There were originally five primary care trusts for the area but they were merged into one in 2005.
The clinical commissioning groups took on the responsibilities of the former PCTs in April 2013.
There are three plans for the county. In March 2016 Sir Andrew Morris, Chief Executive of Frimley Health NHS Foundation Trust, was appointed the leader of the Frimley Health Sustainability and transformation plan footprint, which covers the areas of Bracknell and Ascot CCG, North East Hampshire and Farnham CCG, Slough CCG, Surrey Heath CCG and Windsor, Ascot and Maidenhead CCG. East Surrey and Sussex formed a separate sustainability and transformation plan area with Michael Wilson, the Chief Executive of Surrey and Sussex Healthcare NHS Trust as its leader, as did Surrey Heartlands, under the leadership of Julia Ross, the Chief Executive of North West Surrey Clinical Commissioning Group. The three CCGs in Surrey Heartlands, Guildford and Waverley, North West Surrey and Surrey Downs appointed a single chief officer in May 2017. Their plan centres on new models of care in the community.
Surrey Heartlands is to have a health and social care devolution style deal along the lines of the devolution in Manchester, bringing the NHS together with Surrey County Council. Ian Smith, who was also previously executive chair of Four Seasons Health Care and chief executive of the General Healthcare Group, was appointed chair of the Surrey Heartlands integrated care board in October 2021.
Surrey Downs CCG, where 20% of the population is over 65 (expected to increase to 27% by 2025), are contemplating a reduction in the provision of community hospitals in 2016. It expects a deficit of £35 million for 2016/7.
East Surrey Clinical Commissioning Group was put under restrictions by NHS England in December 2015 because of a budget deficit of £24.7 million. In April 2016 the deficit was expected to reach £31.66 million for 2016/7, despite planned savings of more than £10 million.
There are 128 GP practices in Surrey. The county has its own local medical committee. Out-of-hours services are provided by IC24[dead link] in East Surrey and by Care UK.
