Legal Terms – Clinical Commissioning Groups (CCGs),
Since 1 April 2013, the system of *Primary Care Trusts (PCTs) has been replaced by Clinical Commissioning Groups (CCGs), self-governing bodies within the *National Health Service that are now responsible for commissioning the majority of NHS services under the Health and Social Care Act of 2012. A lot of the duties formerly performed by the Department of Health have also been assumed by CCGs, in addition to those performed by PCTs. These days, every general practitioner practice is a part of a CCG, which also includes other medical specialists including nurses. The majority of services, such as scheduled hospital treatment, rehabilitative care, urgent and emergency care (including after hours), mental health and learning disability services, and most community health services, are commissioned by CCGs. Any service provider that satisfies NHS criteria and fees may be contracted by CCGs; these providers may include NHS hospitals, social entrepreneurs, nonprofit organizations, or private sector companies.

Legal Terms - clog or fetter on the equitable right to redeem
Any clause in a *mortgage deed that forbids redemption upon fulfillment of the obligation or debt for which the security was granted. These clauses are unenforceable. A mortgage deed that gives the mortgagee the opportunity to buy the mortgaged property either before or after the mortgage has been repaid serves as an example (Jones v. Morgan [2001] EWCA Civ 995). Unconscionable clauses in a mortgage are likewise null and void, such as ones that prohibit redemption for a period of 100 years. Still, a business might issue *debentures that cannot be redeemed. If the transaction containing a provision is a business arrangement rather than a mortgage, then the provision can be acceptable even though it would otherwise be unconscionable. Therefore, as long as these clauses do not violate the contractual prohibitions against *restraint of commerce, they will be upheld in public house or garage mortgages made by their tenants or owners to brewers or oil firms. The Consumer Rights Act of 2015 allows one to contest redemption penalties that are not fair.
