• SEL CCG is responsive to the views of LHW, patients and the public and promotes shared decision-making in all aspects of its business
• SEL CCG has appropriate arrangements in place to secure LHW involvement and responds in an effective and timely way to feedback and recommendations from LHW
• there is transparent communication between SEL CCG and local people, including through the dissemination of clear information via LHW, where appropriate.

• have good understanding of the role of HW and an appreciation of current and future broad social, political and economic trends influencing health and social care
