GMMMG holds open consultations on decisions which affect patient care. This may include updated formulary chapters, new or updated clinical guidelines or commissioning statements, or changes to formulary status. All comments received are carefully considered by the group which made the decision, before a final recommendation is made. Decisions are then reviewed by GMMMG for information or approval, as appropriate.

Consultations typically run for six weeks, and comments are invited from all stakeholders across Greater Manchester. You can comment on current proposals via the links in the table below.

Please direct any questions to the secretariat at nuth.enquiries.gmmmg@nhs.net.
