West London clinical commissioning group (WLCCG)and Westminster local authority

A consultation on the redesign of cardiology rehabilitation and prevention programmes

Welcome - Your voice counts

We are asking for your views on cardiology rehabilitation and prevention programmes. This is an opportunity for you to have your say and help shape the future design of these programmes. West London Clinical Commissioning Group (CCG)and Westminster Local Authority are the organisations responsible for purchasing the provision of health promotion and health care services for our local residents in parts of Westminster, Kensington, and Chelsea. Our objective is to purchase health services which maximise the benefits for all. In line with NHS guidance, we need to find new ways of purchasing high quality care to the best standards. This means transforming how we currently deliver services.

This year we are planning to review and re-procure our cardiac prevention and rehabilitation programmes and welcome your thoughts on your experience of using our current programmes, or what you would like to see included in these programmes.

How your views will count in the redesign of services?

Your comments will help to shape the specifications that are used in the service redesign. This will also support commissioners to design questions to ask potential providers participating in the procurement process. Ultimately, we want to ensure that the new services reflect the needs of our local community.
