How is the CMB appointed?
The CMB will usually include four persons nominated by the GP practice members who form the GPCo. Usually, interested members put their names forward for election and all the members of the GPCo vote for the CMB representatives. In addition to the four practice members (one of whom will be the chair for the GPCo) the BDM will also be a member of the CMB and Assura will nominate one member. The CMB meets regularly and shall have full powers to appoint its members and chairman to serve for such periods as it determines. In addition to nominating a representative with relevant experience, Assura will provide any additional personnel, business services and development to ensure that each CMB operates and functions effectively.
