Corporate governance report Members’ Report NHS South West London CCG is a clinically led member organisation and covers the London boroughs of Croydon, Kingston, Merton, Richmond, Sutton and Wandsworth. This means that GPs make decisions about local health services by using their local knowledge to improve services and focus resources where there is greatest need. The CCG is made up of 180 GP practices and is responsible for a budget of around £2.6 billion. Together the GP practices have a registered population of 1,709,000 patients (as of 1 March 2021). The membership is represented by a Governing Body of local GPs, a nurse representative, a secondary care doctor and lay members, supported by a management team. The CCG’s work is overseen by an elected Governing Body, which is chaired by Dr Andrew Murray, a GP at the Nelson Health Centre in Merton. Sarah Blow is the Accountable Officer for NHS South West London CCG. All Governing Body members have specific areas of responsibility and sit on committees of the Governing Body. The members exercise their constitutional rights in respect of the CCG through a membership group. Each member practice has a representative on the membership group.
