NHS Kernow is the integrated care board for Cornwall and the Isles of Scilly. The group is formed of 60 local practices who are themselves formed into nine locality groups which have been involved in local commissioning for many years.
Our principal work is to buy health services on behalf of local people. We are responsible for buying:
- hospital care
- mental health care
- children’s care
- community health services
- GP out of hours services
There are many more service providers from the charitable, voluntary and private sectors that allow many patients wider choice of service location and type.
