  2. Clinical Commissioning groups (CCGs) are groups of family doctors and other health professionals CCGs will be taking over the commissioning (buying) of health services from April 2013.

  3. CCGs should know about how many people with learning disabilities there are locally – and what their needs are. This information should be in something called a Joint Strategic Needs Assessment (JSNA).

  4. CCGs will not commission primary care but there are things they can do to make things better: Have someone responsible for good services for people with learning disabilities; Make reasonable adjustments.

  5. People with learning disabilities and family carers can talk to Healthwatch about what they want. Healthwatch can tell Health and Wellbeing Boards about what people want so services can be planned better. People with learning disabilities and family carers can also be part of Patient Participation groups in GP practices.
