The Joint Committee of Clinical Commissioning Groups (CCGs) for the Kent and Medway Review of Urgent Stroke Services is a joint decision making committee with members from 10 CCGs – all eight CCGs from Kent and Medway, along with NHS High Weald Lewes Havens CCG in East Sussex and NHS Bexley CCG in south east London.
The role of the Joint Committee is to agree how stroke services in Kent and Medway will be organised and delivered to achieve the greatest benefit for the population of people for whom a Kent and Medway hospital is currently their closest urgent stroke service.
The Joint Committee is made up of voting and non-voting members. There are two voting members from each of the CCGs each with a single vote. Non-voting members provide support, advice and expertise to the committee.
