An NHA member has successfully taken on his local CCG in a what is being described as a “landmark legal case”. Anthony Horwood, who is also a member of Protect Our NHS, a Bristol-based NHS campaign group, brought a successful legal challenge against Bristol’s Clinical Commissioning Group (“CCG”) for failing to put in place proper arrangements for involving patients and the public in their decision making. Lawyers for the CCG initially argued that there were no grounds for the legal claim. But after lawyers for Protect Our NHS, Leigh Day, applied for a judicial review, the CCG’s lawyers wrote again with proposals that have now resolved this legal dispute.
