Welcome to Kernow Clinical Commissioning Group

  • Wasted medicines cost the NHS in Cornwall and the Isles of Scilly almost £2 million a year. That’s enough to pay for 65 community nurses or 230 hip replacement operations. To reduce the amount of medicine that is wasted, NHS Kernow is running a campaign during May and June, to encourage patients to Think! about their medicines and to only order what they need when renewing their prescriptions.
  • Your Health Voice is a membership scheme that enables members to have their say on what the Clinical Commissioning Group is doing now, what they would like to see it do in the future and how services can be improved. Click the image for more information and to read the latest magazine.

NHS Kernow is the clinical commissioning group for Cornwall and the Isles of Scilly.

Our job is to buy health services for the population of the county and islands including hospitals, mental health services, children's services and community services. Our annual budget is around £700 million a year.

We formally took over this function on April 1, 2013 from Cornwall and Isles of Scilly Primary Care Trust, when it was abolished. Public Health is now the responsibility of Cornwall Council or the Public Health Council of the Isles of Scilly while GPs, dentists, pharmacies and optometrists are commissioned by the NHS Commissioning Board for Devon, Cornwall and the Isles of Scilly.

You can find out more about our work throughout this website. A good place to start is by reading the welcome message from our Chairman, Dr Colin Philip.
