When making decisions we consider information, data, intelligence and insight from a range of sources including local people and health and social care professionals.
We monitor health needs and inequalities in Manchester and take action to address them. We also comply with national NHS legislation, policy and guidance.
Involving local people
To help us make the best decisions we listen to the views and experiences of local people. It’s really important that we hear from as many of you as possible to make sure that the services we commission, meet the needs of everyone in Manchester.
MHCC’s Board and Committees
Decisions are made in public at our monthly Board meetings.
Our board is made up of local health care professionals, lay representatives, local councillors, the Chief Executive of Manchester City Council, and our Executive Team.
The Board is supported in its work by a number of committees. They are:
