NHS Luton CCG

NHS Luton CCG is a new organisation, run and led by local clinicians, including GPs, nurses and hospital doctors with a budget of around £230m. The organisation plans, organises and purchases NHS funded health care for the people of Luton. This includes hospital services, community health services (such as district nursing, health visiting and various therapies) and mental health services. Our Mission We have worked closely with the Luton Health and Wellbeing Board to develop three priority outcomes for a healthier Luton, based on local health needs. These are: 1 To give every child and young person in Luton a healthy start in life Strong evidence suggests that what children experience throughout childhood will influence their health later in their lives. Focusing on child health will not only improve the health of children but of their families too. 2 To reduce health inequalities in Luton We will prioritise prevention and the early detection of heart disease, cancer, diabetes and respiratory disease, in areas with the poorest outcomes. 3 To support adults and older people to be healthier and more independent We will support people to live longer and healthier lives, by focusing on helping those with long-term conditions such as diabetes and heart condititions, to live independently and in more control of their health.
