To keep colleagues as up-to-date as possible, here is a summary of what is happening between now and 20 October, when a decision about the next steps will be made at a meeting in parallel, in public, by the CCGs.

NHS Midlands and Lancashire Commissioning Support Unit are currently independently collating and analysing all survey data and feedback to produce a report. This is due for completion at the end of this month and will be published on the RCRTRP website.

NHS Greater Huddersfield and Calderdale CCGs will then take time to review, consider and reflect on the report and their response to the issues and concerns that have been raised.

The RCTP team will also be considering the views of the Calderdale and Huddersfield Joint Health Scrutiny Committee who will, as part of their continued scrutiny of the Consultation, provide a formal response to the Consultation in early October and Healthwatch, who will provide a formal response end of August.

Once the decision is known, the outcomes will be published and we’ll provide as much information as possible about next steps.
