The NHS Commissioning Board has published a series of resources which may be useful for emerging clinical commissioning groups (CCGs).

They include guidance and process documents, toolkits and other information around authorisation, governance, establishment and commissioning support.

Developing Clinical Commissioning Groups: Towards authorisation (PDF) was published back in September 2011. It is now accompanied by Towards establishment: Creating responsible and accountable CCGs (PDF) and Developing commissioning support: Towards service excellence (PDF).
