Question to the Department of Health and Social Care:

To ask Her Majesty’s Government whether their review of the Cambridgeshire and Peterborough Clinical Commissioning Group (CCG) contract with UnitingCare LLP for older people's and adult community services will consider the role and advice given to the CCG by the Strategic Projects Team.

NHS England is responsible for the review of Cambridgeshire and Peterborough Clinical Commissioning Group’s (CCG’s) contract with UnitingCare LLP. NHS England confirms that its review will look at the role of the Strategic Projects Team and the advice that it gave to the CCG.

NHS England advises that it has commissioned an independent review, so the Strategic Projects Team’s role can be considered objectively.
