Report of the vCJD Clinical Governance Advisory Group

This report was commissioned by the Department of Health and produced by the specially convened vCJD Clinical Governance Advisory Group (CGAG), chaired by Sir William Stewart. It proposes the creation of patient-focused clinical governance arrangements to standardise the care that patients at risk of vCJD receive across the country. It recommends that GPs should take the lead in commissioning care for them, supported by consultant neurologists and the specialist national centres - the National CJD Surveillance Unit and the National Prion Clinic.
